Have you been paying attention? Nick and Austin attempt to make sense of Radiohead's messy and slightly political sixth album, Hail to the Thief. Both had troubled experiences with the album when it was released in 2003, but will learning all the songs on guitar help them appreciate it? Nick catches up on George Orwell's "1984," while Austin ponders if Yorke actually sang "the raindrops" every single time in "Sit Down. Stand Up."
