Hail to the Thief: Vinyl 2LP Machine Head Lauren LaverneStunning sixth album from Oxford's finest sons. Moving slightly away from the heavy electronic influenced last two albums and back towards more intense numbers (a la 'OK Computer'). Angst filled love and hate songs. 'Hail To The Thief' is immersed in dread and paranoia, albeit a more visceral, emboldened dread and paranoia. This is one band that continues to defy expectations.
