Radiohead released In Rainbows online and allowed fans to set their own price, saying this liberated them from conventional promotional formats and removed barriers to audiences. It was the first such release by a major act and drew international media attention. Many praised Radiohead for challenging old models and finding new ways to connect with fans, while others felt it set a dangerous precedent at the expense of less successful artists. I won't suppose that they aimed to "not let me down", though, nor that they aimed to not let anyone down. Maybe approaching this album from that direction would've spelled instant failure for them. After all, HAIL TO THE THIEF was an album that very much sounded like Radiohead was trying (quite hard) to sound like Radiohead. It is not a bad album, but it's an album on which it is easy to hear the strain of a band trying to sound like itself.

In Pitchfork, Chris Dahlen wrote that "a lesser band might have crammed some bootlegs and demo takes in here, but when Radiohead put something on disc, they want it to count". However, he criticised Yorke's vocals: "The cynical/alienated rut into which he grinds himself has the persistence of a toothache ... Yorke sounds like neither a post-millennial prophet nor an uncanny empathist, so much as a crank." [157]
