How history went: children pretending Kid A was innovative when it was basically a half-assed British pop version of Homogenic, also 4 years too late.

Idk, I don't recall bad mouthing your takes, Cole, but thinking that Baseline's take is a bad take is a pretty bad take tbh

Duh, I'm always right, why do you think my username is Baseline? OOO you get it now!!

Colton I'm trying to like you but you're making things hard for me! Thom Yorke said it himself that if it weren't for Homogenic (specifically Joga and Unravel), Kid A wouldn't even exist. I gotta find that interview or else you'll ruin the rest of my morning.

ok and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band wouldn't exist without Pet Sounds but that doesn't make it a half assed copy of it

I said version, not copy.

yeah but in the context of a music discussion if you say one album is a half assed version of another album you're pretty clearly insinuating it's derivative... especially when you preface that argument by saying Kid A isn't innovative

Kid A is really just a faint electro ambi-rock echo of what Gasp had done two years earlier on Drome Triler of Puzzle Zoo People

But by comparing it to Homogenic I think it automatically enters the realm of innovative music. I'm just saying Radiohead were trying to mimic Homogenic's innovation and only slightly succeeded instead of sticking to what made their band a great band. I am also implying that Kid A should've never gotten as big as Homogenic, innovation aside, it simply wasn't as good. I understand it is a British album while Bjork's comes from a country that is as large as some of Britain's smaller cities, but still.
Hell, the truth is that I am frustrated because sometimes I wish Thom haven't heard of Bjork and Sigur Ros and released OK Computer 2 instead of Kid A. I love OK Computer. I despise Kid A. To make it clear.

Imagine a world where Thom didn’t hear Bjork and instead of creating one of the greatest musical achievements of mankind released OkC mk2. The darkest timeline.

Yeah, but the timeline we're living in now includes 9/11 and the Donnie Darko director's cut.
The world wasn't ready for Kid A, and we're still paying the price.

bjork releasing homogenic -> 9/11 -> covid-19 wrecking the world

Bjork is the antichrist. She spawned Kid A and the historical accidents asdfp kindly cited and now she has a big wardrobe and no-one can stop her from watching all other artists slowly ruin music forever and I can't even
The only person who can stop her is Reol, but she suffered a major setback ever since asdfp (that guy ugh!!) refused to bestow a 4.0 or higher on any of her albums and the tragedy of this will likely be wasted on this pigsty generation I hope they serve cookies in hell

Firstly I’m going to change my name via deed pole to a sound effect.
Then I’m going to do me hair in a half Mohawk tied up in a fishnet stocking and dyed with the blood of a porpoise.
Whack an Amazonian lip plate into my gob and let it repeatedly thwack against a microphone while I make oooweee, swooooo sounds over minimal beats.
I guarantee one of you saps would 5 it.
