I bought Hail To The Thief Live when it was released a week or so back, but had nothing to compare it to, so I decided to get the studio album.
The first couple of tracks I don't really care too much for, but Sail To The Moon is excellent. After that it becomes more listenable.
For me, HTTF is two, possibly three, tracks too long. The first two and the last. Get rid of them and it would have been fine. Sometimes quality is better than quantity.
Favorite track: A Punch Up at a Wedding.
