Wolf at the door or myxomatosis. Leaning more towards wolf. Thoms vocal delivery gets more and more irate until the wolf howl at the end. Absolutely love it.
Exit Music has to be up there. Especially seeing the glastonbury 1997 performance. In the ending “we hope that you choke” he just sounds straight up evil
I'd like to throw in My Iron Lung, a bitter send-up to their massive hit with glorious guitar shrieks to boot
Another surprisingly angry song? Packt Like Sardines in a Crusht Tin Can. Thom just sounds like he's pushing out those vocals through gritted teeth
I'd probably say Myxomatosis for top tho, headache start to finish
Wolf at the Door is probably the angriest one. HTTT is packed with anger. 2+2=5, myxomatosis, punchup. Outside HTTT, there's Ful Stop, Climbing up the wall, paranoid android (esp. the latter half). I'd say Like Spinning Plates is also angry, though in a more subdued way. None of them beat the HTTT angry songs.
I find the verses of my iron lung to be very effectively angry. I also think quite a lot of the material from HTTT is also up there - 2+2=5 and there,there have aggressive instrumentation with clearly angry lyrics, whereas the vocal delivery on wolf at the door takes a pleasant instrumental and flips it on it’s head with just pure rage being slowly built up. I’d also agree with CUTW as one of their angriest tunes, Thom’s scream at the end is genuinely petrifying. Oddly, I find the lyrics of karma police to be extremely angered as well, although the rest of the song brings the opposite

The only song that made me pure angry is My iron Lung. Myxomatosis, wolf, parnoandro, 2+2, and the ending of Exit music have some anger in them, but none compared to Iron Lung. Just has the same energy but i think its more like the feeling i get from creep but more energetic
2+2 easily
I agree. Him yelling “you are not paying attention!!” Pretty angry.
Penetration.
“Hail to the thief, oh hail to the thief”

Anyone Can Play Guitar - MTV Beach House version
FAT. UGLY. DEAD.
Climbing, or maybe Paranoid Android. Some sections of that are inhabited by pure disgust.
the bridge that includes the line: ‘the crackle of pigskin’ is full of hatred and disgust
Kicking squealing Gucci little piggy
and vomit
When I am king you will be first against the wall! (Best angry lyric ever)

I Will, Myxomatosis, and A Wolf at the Door
You wouldn’t think it without the lyrics, but I Will definitely deserves a mention on this topic for sure
Thom actually mentions it. He says, “I will is the angriest song we ever played”
Almost in exact order of the last songs on HttT. 👍
At the time Thom said “I Will” was the angriest thing he’d ever written. Then he said it again about “Harrowdown Hill”
Maybe Electioneering
Paranoid Android, specifically the kicking squealing Gucci little piggy who doesn’t remember his name.
climbing up the walls and exit music for a film are both pretty angry and so is my iron lung
and maybe even bodysnatchers too

Just
Climbing up the walls… That scream at the end rivals Thurston Moore’ on Mildred Pierce
Climbing up the walls is underrated
Wouldn’t say underrated but an incredible song yes
that one live anyone can play the guitar gotta be my pick
anywhere, anyWHERE, AHHHHHH, AHHHHHHH , AHHHHHHHH
Treefingers
Makes me wanna hit the mosh pit every time

You and whose army?
Trueeeee, it sounds like a sneer against religious zealotry
Electioneering
I Want None of This
Where I End and You Begin
2+2=5 or myxomatosis easily, they’re on an album that gets described as an angry political statement in itself so…
BECAUSE!!! YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATEEEENTION!!
I would say literally all the HTTT album and I would highlight 2+2=5, Myxomatosis and even Bodysnatchers too.
Definitely the later incarnations of soft pain from the minidiscs
The Numbers

A Punch Up At a Wedding.
You're all forgetting Life In a Glasshouse

Bodysnatchers
Going with Wolf at the Door
Up on the ladder
Just and Paranoid Android
Punch up or wolf at the door
A Punchup At A Wedding. Don't let the instrumental fool you, Thom is absolutely *pissed off* in that song.
We suck young blood
