Hail to the Thief

Over the last couple of days I've been listening to Radiohead's latest album, and while I won't go so far as to say that it's their best, there is some absolutely stunning music there. Simply put, Thom Yorke has the most beautiful voice in pop music today. Highlights of the album are 2+2=5, The Gloaming, and my personal favorite, Scatterbrain, which I quote in its entirety here:

Scatterbrain (As Dead As Leaves)

I'm walking out in a force ten gale
Birds thrown around, bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off by its fingernails
Your voice is rattlin’ on my window sill
Yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
Yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
Any fool can easy pick a hole
I only wish I could fall in
A moving target in a firing range
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Lightning fuse, powercut
Scatterbrain
