In my opinion, We Suck Young Blood is one of the best off Hail to the Theif. I love the clapping and that section that builds up towards the ending.

I think I Will is better than anything else on HTTF and anything else in their discography but Life In a Glass House.

HTTF is way to underrated. Its probably my top 2 radiohead album.

HTTT has a lot of really good tracks, but for me it doesn't function as an album as well as OKC, Kid A, or In Rainbows. 14 songs just comes across as too much filler.

'Filler' is where the song was made simply to fill an album. Merely having a lot of songs on a long album does not in itself 'come across as too much filler'. The song would have to be of such a level of mediocrity and banality that it necessarily must have been written for the purpose of filling up an album.

HTTT as far as I'm concerned does not have a single track of filler on it. It might have songs that aren't that great, but they weren't made just to fill up an album - Radiohead were trying to do something substantial on each track. Else, a band like them would have made the album shorter.

I personally feel that if they had cut out tracks such as 'Sit Down. Stand Up.' , 'Scatterbrain' , and 'A Punchup at a Wedding' it would have made for a stronger album. I'm just nitpicking though, I still love it.

Those 3 are some of the better tracks on the album.

They don't come close to approaching 2+2=5, We Suck Young Blood, The Gloaming, There There, Myxomatosis, and Wolf at the Door IMO.

Ya know, to be honest it's actually a really good album. There's so much good on this record. I'm no Radiohead fanbwoi, and even I dig this album. I think it's more worth listening to than both Kid A and Amnesiac combined.

It's better than The Bends for sure (Sorry Sweet Nothing), and the top songs match up with any other Radiohead album, but for some reason it doesn't compare to Kid A/OKC/In Rainbows as a whole for me. That's why I think the 14 total songs are the problem.
