The tracks were leaked on purpose. They aren't the actual tracks intended to go on the album-- they're B-sides that the band had sitting around and released in order to create a red herring. Kid A and Amnesiac both leaked, and Radiohead are aware of that; thus they created this fake album (cleverly titled 'Hail to the Theif') in order to keep people from looking for leaks of the actual tracks. This way, when the actual album comes out in June, no one will have heard any of it. Think about it-- it's not like a Radiohead album. The name is strange, there are too many tracks (14), all of the tracks sound basically like normal songs (there's nothing like 'Fitter Happier,' 'Treefingers,' or 'Hunting Bears') and there are no songs resembling the experimentation of 'Kid A' or 'Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors.' I also find it suspicious that almost immediately after the names of the tracks for the new album were released, the tracks were leaked. Johnny Greenwood's interview in which he discussed the leak sounded surprisingly non-angry, as well.


thats news to me..i feel dumb for stating the obvious that kazaa has it....

its quite possible that radiohead did that tho cuz they always have extra tracks laying around.......

"Sit Down. Stand Up." is such an awesome song tho. ever since i heard that song ive been listening to more n more radiohead
