How to Disappear is my #1 stress reliever, Kid A in general is, even with the frantic parts like National Anthem and Idioteque.

They have done the chaos/clarity thing better before, agreed. But I still really like the examples of it here. Daydreaming would be way too passive as an opener... that would be like if Kid A started with the title track. I also love being lulled by Desert Island Disk, only to have Ful Stop appear on the horizon like a maniacal grinning bear.



"if Daydreaming and Identikit swapped places on the tracklisting, Burn The Witch wouldn't feel anywhere near as out of place and this whole disc would flow infinitely better"



I disagree... I think grouping the 'eventful' songs together at the beginning would make this feel front-loaded, like TKOL was. It would trail off into vague beauty too early on. I'm glad they keep radically changing up the styles, for the first seven tracks at least.

How? I mean, sure, I don't connect with some tracks but tracks like Nude get right to your fucking soul.

to be fair, haven't heard TKOL yet so I can't compare there, but I disagree about the "eventful" songs being in the front - Ful Stop, The Numbers, and arguably Tinker Tailor are fairly tense cuts later on despite their slower pace

and that's not even mentioning that several of the "better" (er...my favorite) tracks are the slower, dreamier ones anyway, and that's the prevailing mood of this disc so yeah

Okay yeah, I agree with you. I still feel this album settles into a groove, or a pace, after Identikit. From then on, it has that dreamy flow that people love about In Rainbows so much. I wouldn't rearrange and 'iron out' the peaks and valleys this album has in its first half. Those sudden changes of pace are so welcome to me.
