I freakin' love this album. Kid A is probably the most relaxing song i can think of right now. EIIRP as well. The whole album is just splendid.

I do appreciate the experimental qualities of this album, and it has grown on me a lot since the first listen.

But still, I can't see how anybody could rate this a 5.

To me, a 5 would be perfect. You could listen to a 5 a hundred times and it would never get old.

KID A is not perfect, and is hard to listen to. Just being honest about it.

This is Radiohead's third best album, followed by OK Computer and then The Bends which is my personal favorite.



Great review.

I can't see how anyone could give Kid A a 3.



Obviously it's not perfect but what is?

Smashing responses, very much appreciated.



I still find this album classic, but definitely not a first Radiohead album. Bends to OK Computer to this is my suggested route.

"Smashing" - nice.

Kid A is a milestone album. Every song is incredible. Every little thing is very appreciated on this album. Radiohead are one of the best bands not just of the nineties - but of popular music period.

This review is huge.

I pulled this out again just for kicks, and I always underestimate how good it actually is. 'Treefingers' is my favorite off the album. The only problem is that it is hard to adjust to the overall sound of the album after listening to 'The Bends' twice as much.

Radiohead for rock and roll HOF. Best way to explain it.



Don't know why, but I've never enjoyed Treefingers. It seems so unmusical, just aura oriented. This Message Edited On 02.28.06

Lemon8, This is nowhere near a 3. A 3 is an average, ok record. Radiohead hasn't put out a mildly eh album since Pablo Honey. This is not in any way shape or form less than a 4.

[QUOTE=the review]This monumental change in direction nearly split the band in half. Guitarists Ed O' Brien and Johnny Greenwood had trouble adjusting to the fact that they would have to somehow participate without plucking a damn note. This from the men who added the guitar scratches in the nauseatingly overexposed single "Creep" in order to sabotage the song. These guys aren't usually that happy with Radiohead's music. [/QUOTE]

Wow, you need to check your facts on this one. It's true that the band was split in half, but Jonny Greenwood was at the forefront of not using guitars. He's the guy doing a lot of the auxilarry keyboards and mellotrons on OK Computer, when he was still playing guitar, much less on this album. Just watch live performances. He also does string arrangments and synth stuff.



Also, did you ever give credit to Med for this review? Parts of it in the first and second paragraph were lifted straight from his thread.This Message Edited On 03.09.06
