Art Imitates Other Art: Third Day and Radiohead

Posted by Chris Case | August 7, 2008 .

Anyone else notice how much the new Third Day album looks like a ripoff of the classic Radiohead album Hail to the Thief?

Come on. Did they think no one would notice?

    If Third Day is trying to make a point, I’ll call them whitewashed walls.

    Never! I mean, even if they did ‘borrow’ the idea, the cross on top makes it better and claims it for God!

    That was sarcasm, and yes, it is dripping with it.

    Have you found any other blogs wondering the same thing?

    Speaking of Radiohead, do you think Third Day would ever do a cover song? Or maybe Thom Yorke’s Black Swan? LOL! I’d love to see them switch those lyrics around…

    I don’t see how you think they are the same at all. I mean, one is red and the other is full color. hahahahahahaahahaa

    On the contrary, I think they expected people to notice.

    The emergents I know are fond of using secular songs, movies, etc. to show the longing that the culture has for truth, and then they point it to Christ. It seems to me that Third Day is using the same strategy — take the confusing messages of the world that Radiohead so well illustrates, and then shows that Christ is above it.

    I would have never HEARD of Third Day without this post.
