...actions justified. It takes no small measure of ego to make such a cocksure assertion. Yet I have no reserve in insisting that Hail to the Thief will be viewed, in the years to come, as the finest of Radiohead’s first six albums. With Thief, the band take a brief pause from their constant experimental momentum to release their version of a greatest hits record. “2+2=5” recalls the guitar-driven bravado of The Bends and the standout “We Suck Young Blood” envelops a classic Amnesiac...
...meaty bass line from Flannery O’Connor to the Drive-By Truckers, who distill a murky Southern legacy of incest, murder and generational family feuds. Decoration Day is less ambitious but ultimately more satisfying than their patchy double-disc breakthrough Southern Rock Opera, as the band better weaves their shotgun triple-guitar formula and continue to deliver their moonshine-soaked tales with equal bouts of irony and reverence.

A Wish for Fire, a trio of musicians with eclectic influences, creates what the band likes to call “romantic pop,” with tinges of blues, Motown, and of course, psychedelic rock. The band’s minimalist approach to music bares the songwriting underneath. International Pen Pal and The Casual Lean also perform. 9 p.m. Tickets...
