Album Rating: 4.5

Noler, the songs you list are def the best on the album and I have no problem listening to them separately at any time. It’s just rarer that I actually feel like listening to Kid A over some other RH albums but, when I do, I never regret it.

I even think the trippier, weirder songs like Everything in It’s Right Place and Kid A have certain aspects that are very approachable if that’s what you choose to mentally focus on. If you tune into the keyboard on EIIRP or the subtle percussion in Kid A, even those can be smooth listens.

Album Rating: 5.0

This is a pretty smooth listen aside from The National Anthem and Idioteque maybe.

i mean if y'all are that desperate for a smooth listen just find a "coffee music mix" on youtube or something

Album Rating: 5.0

or In Rainbows, tbh

Album Rating: 5.0

A Moon Shaped Pool and the second half of TKOL are very smooth as well

AMSP is for sure the "smoothest" Radiohead album

Album Rating: 4.0

had to give this a bump. probably their best album

Album Rating: 4.5

It is

Definitely their best, I tend to enjoy going back to In Rainbows more but I think this album will stand the test of time for sure

Album Rating: 4.0

I almost never come back to this anymore.

Yeah it's more ideal during the Winter perhaps, one thing I noticed recently is how perfectly sequenced the album is. Even a song like Treefingers feels placed in the exact right spot to complement everything else

Album Rating: 5.0

"How To Disappear Completely" is the most crushingly depressing song I've ever heard.

‘Casimir Pulaski Day’ is pretty close.

Who are all these waves upon waves of new users without avatars and with numbers in their names? Real individuals? One and the same person?

"'Casimir Pulaski Day’ is pretty close."



Oof yes, it is.



Also Anathema - One Last Goodbye.

"Hospice" is my go-to album when I feel like feeling depressed, but "Kid A" ain't too far behind. Though "Kid A" is more because of overall tone/mood, whereas "Hospice" is largely the context/subject matter.

Album Rating: 5.0

Don't know that one yet, might have to check it out. Anathema's albums A Natural Disaster and Judgement would probably be my choices. But I don't listen to that kind of stuff all that often anymore. In recent years I haven't been feeling straight-up sad as much as just aimless or kinda exhausted, so more the American Football kind of mellow negativity.

Also, finally bumped this up to a 5 along with American Football's debut. Now Illinois is my favorite 4.5.

Id say I listen to Kid A to release me from the depression as opposed to amplifying it. There are genuine moments of tranquility on this that I've come to appreciate

'Also, finally bumped this up to a 5 along with American Football's debut.'
Nice x2. For some reason I thought you already had AF (1999) at a 5/5. Glad you finally gave it the score it deserves :o) Definitely an all time favorite. One of those albums I can listen to and immediately be transported back to that time in my life when I first discovered it. Same with 'Kid A'.
