Making an album has never been easy for Radiohead.
After creating their most conceptually important release and one of the greatest albums of all time, they followed it up with Kid A in quite possibly the greatest left turn in music history. Their trajectory seemed to level out after Amnesiac. How couldn’t it? They had made creative leaps with each subsequent release -- pushing further appeared pointless, if not impossible. But they tried anyways. Hail to The Thief was angry, politically-charged and perhaps a bit overloaded with ideas.
It was the last album released in their six-album contract with EMI. And after completing their world tour in support of Thief, the band went on hiatus. They no longer had any contractual obligations to make new music -- and plenty of good reasons to quit Radiohead altogether…
But in 2007, with only 10 days notice they’d release their landmark record, In Rainbows. And give it away for free.
