I still think Hail to the Theif gets a bum rap...Just read a review of it on Pitchfork... basically the best way to sum it up would be full of great songs but ultimately as an album it has its flaws... I tend to agree with this notion. Every song on it is great, there's not a bad track... but together perhaps they make a bridge too far, and there are some sequencing and momentum issues... but otherwise its a great piece of darn fine modern album goodness...

OK rant ended.
