Nah I'm listening to In Rainbows instead

Album Rating: 4.0

I will admit that I like The National Anthem.





Everything in Its Right Place annoys the shit out of me

Album Rating: 4.5

In Rainbows is soooooo good

I can imagine that Kid A was MUCH more challenging to get into when it was actually released haha I just knew going into it that it was their techno, off the wall album.

Album Rating: 4.5

FUck In Rainbows, listen to Computer

Album Rating: 4.5

nah, Rolling Stone and a bunch of other media outlets sucked this album's balls for a good 3 or 4 months leading up to its release -- everyone knew what to expect by then.





^ Truth. They were on the cover of Rolling stone for like 3 months in a row when this came out. And Blender too.

Computer was decent too, but I still don't like this band NEARLY as much as everyone else

Album Rating: 5.0

In Rainbows is fucking incredible but it doesnt come close to either this or OK Computer.. Jigsaw Falling Into Place is definitely one of their best songs though

Album Rating: 3.5

@ Maniac: Welcome to the club. Haha.

Ok first things first. There is no concept, the album is about nothing, and while that sounds much like a concept it is not (just bare with that and the rest of this is easier). OK no remembering that there is NO concept (again super vital but really hard to understand) the album is looking back at a traumatic event (but not an actual event cause that would be a concept). Whatever said event was, which never really happened, left the protagonist of the story very much alone.

This is where Kid A starts, after the fact, thus the climax of the story has already happened. So the whole album is an anti climax of our protagonist going over the events which left him so very alone. This is what gives the album such a chill almost relaxed atmosphere yet at the same time have it very tense.

So there is no true meaning in this album as it is about nothing. Rather (and this is the genius part which IMHO makes it the best album ever) it leaves you a beautiful blank campus in which you put your own plot on it. Now by that I don't simply mean you guess what each song is about nor do you create a concept you simple bask in this nothingness and let your own personal emotions effect you.

Note: This thesis was taken from a Music Theory Professor at the university of Cambridge and it was a 20 page essay so obviously some of the finer points were lost. Now our library has this in hard copy but I am unable to find a version of it on the internet thus I tried to sum it up. Hope it helped.

"nah, Rolling Stone and a bunch of other media outlets sucked this album's balls for a good 3 or 4 months leading up to its release -- everyone knew what to expect by then."



I guess what I meant is that it must've been more challenging for someone who was already really into The Bends and Computer and Radiohead as a whole, as opposed to me, who got into them kind of all at once.

Right.



So it has an anti concept where it means only what you make it mean, putting the burden on the listener to make something out of the music. Sounds like it's either bullshit or interesting. Either way, I didn't enjoy it.

album is definately overrated

Album Rating: 4.0

dingding

Albums get far more overrated than Kid A.

Album Rating: 4.0

That wasn't even being disputed.

no I just meant that if it gets overrated at all it is only because it is in the spotlight cause it is so popular.
