Hail to the Thief, to me, is Radiohead's ever-present distinction of being experimental but I feel that they're also getting back to their "rock" roots as well. I think it's an excellent album. I had all the tracks about a month before it came out and loved it.
When I heard "There There" on the radio the DJ described Kid A and Amnesiac as "weird noise but the new album has guitars and stuff... IT'S COOL" which just shows you how appreciative even local "pop" icons are of diversity in a band's repertoire.
Radiohead has probably gotten the most exposure and promotion for this album than any other band I've seen. Luckily they're all smart enough to stay out of the mainstream sound.
I don't have a favorite Radiohead album. I love all of them and just consider them all part of a volume of one great piece of music. Radiohead rules!!!
Oh, and about comparing them to Coldplay: Coldplay is much more easy listening than Radiohead for the masses. It's not quite as artistic, IMO. Radiohead is by far my favorite band.

yeah.
