OK here's my rating of the album on first few listens, but this will most definately change with time.
2+2=5 - 10
Sit Down Stand Up - 9.5
Sail to the Moon - 9.5
Backdrifts - 8.5
Go to Sleep - 8.5
Where I end... - 10
We suck young blood - 8.5
Gloaming - 7.5
There There - 9.5
I Will - 10
Punchup at a Wedding - 9.5
Myxomotosis - 9
Scatterbrain - 10

Ok, i know im not a great judge being a huge radiohead fan, but damn this album is great. Im thinking OK Computer may have a new challenge.

But why not just put "Hail To The Thief", or people such as moi get confused :|

This certainly is one of the most amazing albums i've heard for a bit.
about what, we're talking about the new radiohead album, out today, hail to the thief (or httt if you will).
Bah, I'm confused...
Stand out tracks are I will, Scatterbrain, WIEAYB and punchup on 1st listen. It truly is a great album, but i dont know if id give as many 10/10s as Vice did.
What an absolutely amazing album yet again by Radiohead. On first listen i can tell this is gonna be up there with Kid A and The Bends and near OK computer. Here is my song by song Review.
1. 2+2=5 (The Lukewarm)- An absolutely amazing opener, This could be Radiohead's best ever opening track so slow at the beginning and it really builds up to a strong second half, already a favourite.
Rating: 10/10
2. Sit Down, Stand Up (Snakes & Ladders)- Another immediate song that i'm already enjoying, a good song.
Rating: 9/10
3. Sail To The Moon (Brush The Cobwebs Out of The Sky)- Well this a song i have already fallen in love with. It is quite possibly radiohead's most angleic song.
Rating: 10/10
4. Backdirfts (Honeymoon is Over)- Again Already a favourite of mine, absolutely fantastic song. Only Radiohead could place 2 songs as magnificent as these next to each other on one album.
Rating: 10/10
5. Go To Sleep (Little Man Being Erased)- Yet again a brilliant Song. It's going to be radiohead's next single, it should do well. At the end it goes mad, possibly not the greatest ending to a song, but it's still a winner.
Rating: 9.5/10
6. Where I End And You Begin (The Sky Is Falling In) Despite the alternate name sharing a familiar name to a queens of the stone age track, it is far for QOTSA. Hailed By many already as the best song on the album. It may well be.
Rating: 10/10
7. We Suck Young Blood (Your Time is Up) Spoken as a disappointment by some fans, i think it's a very good song, but untouches the greats of this album.
Rating: 9/10
8. The Gloaming (Softley Open our Mouths in The Cold) Probably the weakest track and least immediate on the album, not to say i don't like it though, it's still a very strong song, and a surprise for me as i was expecting the worse.
Rating: 8/10
9. There There (The Boney King Of Nowhere) Well the first single off the album, and it's been hailed commercially reaching no.4 in the UK singles. I love this song, but strangely i don't think it's one of the best on the album. Which shows the strength of this album.
Rating: 9.5/10
10. I will (No man's Land) The shortest song on the album, but quantity isn't everything. This 2 minuter is yet another great.
Rating: 9.5/10
11. A Punch Up at A wedding (No no no no no no no no) A good song again it may over-run slightly but still only slightly.
Rating: 9/10
12. Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury & Executioner) A very clever song, Extremely Funky, i like it, i like it a lot.
Rating: 9.5/10
13. Scatterbrain (As Dead As Leaves) What an absolutely Incredible Song, i think this is the second time of hearing it after the Xfm play. I forgot about it, but when it started i was instantly reminded.
Rating: 10/10
14. A wolf at the Door (It Girl, Rag Doll) THOM YORKE RAPPING! it happened! but here's what you didn't expect... It's really, really brilliant another firm favourites with the majority of fans. Extremely weir, but extremely good one to Close with.
Rating: 10/10
Overall Summary: What an incredible Album i think my top 5 albums List will have to be Readjusted. It may include all radiohead albums now. I'm really loving it, it's not as good as ok computer, but then again is anything. It's certainly as good as kid A and the Bends, better, i'm not sure yet. It's definetly the most immediate radiohead album i've heard.
