Radiohead recorded most of "Hail to the Thief "in two weeks, with additional recording and mixing at Radiohead's studio in Oxfordshire, England, in late 2002 and early 2003. Guitarist Ed O'Brien told "Rolling Stone" that "Hail to the Thief" was the first Radiohead album "where, at the end of making it, we haven't wanted to kill each other". However, mixing and sequencing created conflict; according to Yorke, "There was a long sustained period during which we lived with it but it wasn't completely finished, so you get attached to versions and we had big rows about it." Godrich estimated that rough mixes from the Los Angeles sessions were used for a third of the final album.
