Pretty much agreed, think In Limbo is probably the weakest here but 'weak' only comparatively so and it is very much baked into the flow and fabric of this album.



'Morning Bell' is essential.

Album Rating: 5.0

the part where morning bell breaks out into the U2-ish guitars is really something, absolutely wonderful idea

Album Rating: 4.0

I really need to give this one a full listen. I keep DNFing it every time I try putting it on

Album Rating: 4.5

like you get bored? lol. i can see it though, this grew on me over the years.

Album Rating: 5.0

I can see this being very anticlimactic for someone listening for the first time in the shadow of the overwhelming, largely unanimous praise and acclaim it has received over the years. I felt the same about LOVELESS when I heard it for the first time.

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah, it just doesn't manage to grab my attention for some reason. Now might be the time to try it again though, considering I've been listening to Laughing Stock

Album Rating: 4.0

I've also DNFed Loveless multiple times, though I do enjoy Only Shallow a ton

Album Rating: 4.5

Treefingers / Optimistic / In Limbo is the run I was referring to for sure, I’ve often thought the latter 2 of those held up the rear here and that certainly hasn’t changed (just perhaps viewing them through a harsher lens now)

The National Anthem (and Idioteque) were always stunning to me and they’ve aged as well as anything here (unlike Pitchfork’s dodgy opinions! lol)

Album Rating: 4.5

idioteque, everything in it's right place and motion picture soundtrack for me. three of the best songs ever made by man.

Album Rating: 4.5

Motion Pic is (still) awesome too. I just don’t view it as a game-changer for my personal music journey like the other two. How to Disappear has held up better as the superior hush hush sadboi track… maybe ‘Everything’ has just worn out its welcome somewhat as I did love that previously

Album Rating: 5.0

Title track is one of the ones that grew on me the most

Album Rating: 4.5

oh yeah whoops i'd def but how to disappear in the best song ever made category lol. t/t and national anthem have never really grabbed me like those four.

Album Rating: 5.0

Ranked/Rated:



1. How to disappear [5]

2. Idioteque [5]

3. Everything in its right place [5]

4. The National Anthem [4.5]

5. Optimistic [4.5]

6. Morning Bell [4.5]

7. In Limbo [4.5]

8. Kid A [4.5]

9. Motion Picture [4] this is good don't get me wrong but also...not sure I'd ever listen out of context of it being the closer here...not a standalone charmer

10. Treefingers [3.5] it's pretty nice

Album Rating: 5.0

the intensity behind that last "I think you're craaaaaazy". and it's not just the harps and frills, it's the chord progression. wonderful closer for sure

Album Rating: 4.5

Ugh. Okay quick attempt at re-ranking this.



S: The National Anthem, Idioteque

A: Motion Picture Soundtrack, Morning Bell

A-: How to Disappear

B: Kid A, Everything In Its Right Place

C: Treefingers

D: Optimistic, In Limbo



Idk something like this. That hurt 😢 but it’s not an all-round loss. There are still some clear choice cuts here

Album Rating: 5.0

robertsona - Yeah, I mean it might warrant a 4.5 track rating too, it is the perfect closer for Kid A...but if it came up on shuffle out of the blue I can imagine 50% of the time it'd hit me as a skip :D

Album Rating: 5.0

When I was younger I thought How to Disappear was the best song on here but as I got older I realized its actually Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Album Rating: 5.0

When I was younger I definitely thought Idioteque was the best track…then after about five years that changed to Disappear.



Optimistic is definitely the one that’s grown on me the most, by quite a huge margin.

Album Rating: 5.0

S: Motion Picture Soundtrack, How to Disappear Completely

A: Morning Bell, The National Anthem

B: Kid A, Idioteque, Everything in Its Right Place

C: Optimistic, In Limbo

D: Treefingers



All relative, of course.
