Reviews (page 10 of 15)
A good to great Radiohead album. Felt like a huge left turn in 2001 or whenever it came out and it took a while to grow. At that point, I remember loving it. 25 years later, I certainly enjoyed it but nowhere near as much. Should be a 3.5 but I’m giving it a 3 because they made at least 1 better album after this.
Un poco chapa tbh
Not my favorite Radiohead album, good ambiance though. Put me to sleep. Motion picture soundtrack is a great song probably my favorite on the album.
Parlophone LPKIDA 1 (UK) vinyl rip: "Optimistic" I had never heard before. Great track. It's not quite as catchy as OK Computer but the experimentation was never going to be.
This album... I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it. I listened to part of it while I was a bit stressed out about something and it felt somewhat soothing. But it also doesn't really feel like something I'd listen to regularly. It kinda just came in at the right time. The music is well made with electronic and jazzy influences. Radiohead is still kind of hit or miss for me, though, and I don't know if this is a hit.
Very nice actually. Again, I rarely this stuff based on vibes, not actual quality, but occasionally I do rate them by quality. I do what I want here. I think this was good quality wise? Actually, I know it was, but it didn’t really stand out to me. Which is strange because this should be exactly my type of music. I see myself randomly rediscovering this in like a year and becoming obsessed with it.
We started out great, I was intrigued by the different inspirations all the way up until idioteque. Did NOT like. It got severely monotone, it wasn't doing anything for me, and I was not feeling it. After 'In limbo,' it really did feel like I was in limbo, but purgatory limbo blegh. Just started motion picture soundtrack, the organ and harp usage is brilliant. AAAND SNYTH, the end. Overall, a little boring and monotone, but there are a couple tracks thats stood out, especially 'How to Disappear Completely'
Experimental soft rock mixed with electronics soundscapes. I know it’s extremely well regarded and maybe I don’t give it enough credit here, but it didn’t live up to the hype. I’m not a big Radiohead fan, and parts of this were hard to parse though. I was still enjoyable, but not as much as I thought it would be.
I had resigned myself to being irritated by all Radiohead's post-OK Computer albums, but I actually found things to enjoy on this listen. It has moments of beauty that are less funereal and meandering. It might have helped that I was coming into it having listened to Einsturzende Neubaten yesterday. I can see how this merits a place on this list, as a major creative shift in Radiohead's work. I don't feel we needed Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief as well, they really did feel like more of the same but less interesting.
It feels like a date with someone you don't really connect with.
Not my fav. LOVED everything in its right place
When this came out I was soooo disappointed. But its better than I remember.
nice soundtrack for road trip through lonely sierra caldera. not my fav tracks actually - little discombobulated - but no one does eerie 3d render for album art like these blokes
Not the go to Radiohead album for me but heard it enough over the years thanks to my son playing it endlessly! Can take it or leave it tbh. Nice to hear in full on an early morning walk at least. Prefer OK Computer with the classic singles on but I’m pretty sure that will appear here at some point.
Really different, sometimes difficult to enjoy but worth the effort.
I don't think a Radiohead person.
I just don’t get it. I added “The National Anthem” to my playlist.
I like the weirdness and oddness about the album, but one have to be in the right mood to really appreciate it.
It was very hard to listen for the first time, but I unexpectedly found myself a few times, that it was actually not that bad as I felt for the first 10 minutes, and at the end the album showed me some majestic hypnosis that prevented me from cutting it off.
та йой
need to re listen. i liked it.
I keep trying with Radiohead, but they largely remain a band that I respect and appreciate more than actively enjoy. I get that this was mould-breaking and unique, and while I can salute that, this still remains an album that I struggle to like and choose to engage with.
Some exceptional songs, but others fall too far into the listening background. Favs: Everything In Its Right Place, Idioteque
It was alright. Too many Radiohead albums though. They're not that good, man.
Free Palestine!
not bad but too slow for me. like there was almost nothing in my ears.
Just didn't hit like it has for me before. Maybe I will feel differently later.
Much more going for it than the previous Radiohead offering from last week, but still not really hitting for me. Sometimes if you squint you ears, sounding like an early Elbow
Radiohead still is that kind of Band where I would listen to a complete best of album but not to the normal albums with exceptions
Eigentlich gut und nicht störend, aber trotzdem nicht meins
I just can’t get into Radiohead. I want to. I’ve tried. It just never happens. I feel like the world is playing a cruel trick on me. So many people love them and I don’t think I’ll ever understand why.
Ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming First album generated yay I don’t get how this is so critically acclaimed, Kid A is not the best at the experimental genre, especially the first 3 tracks because they are grating and don’t set the baseline for what the album is like well. Everything after that is pretty solid. I don’t hate this album as much as other people do but i still don’t quite like it and it’s one of my least favorite Radiohead albums. People just hate on Kid A just because it’s popular and just because they don’t like experimental music, for some reason whenever people write reviews of this album they act like they’ve never heard experimental or melancholy music in their LIFE and they curse the album for being relaxed and experimental. I’m not gonna lie this album is basically Radiohead just noodling, but it still has good highlights where the album doesn’t feel boring besides the first 3 tracks. Tracks like Idioteque and The National Anthem are filled with lots of substance and subtle things in their instrumentals, and even more relaxed songs like Motion Picture Soundtrack and How To Disappear Completely give you this amazing feeling of both relaxation and dread with their melancholic instrumentals. Highlights: How To Disappear Completely, The National Anthem, Treefingers, Idioteque, Optimistic, In Limbo, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Morning Bell - These songs capture the themes of the album perfectly and are the best showcases of what Radiohead could do on this album Lowlights: Everything In Its Right Place, and Kid A - Tracks that fit in with the other good ones but they still are boring because of their electronic beats that don’t go anywhere
a couple of really good ones but possibly my least favourite from them?
This is probably my least favourite Radiohead album. I just don't connect with it, although I do like Idioteque a lot.
Decent, not my cup of tea. Too experimental sounding First song is iconic
Listening to this for the first time I was not really impressed. I guess I prefer Radiohead's earlier works. To be fair, this kind of low energy album has never been my favorite so its not surprising.
Avant garde: the album. National Anthem, Optimistic & Morning Bell are highlights, my here. I don't really care for the ambient avant garde one some of the songs, they do have interesting sounds. Idioteque has an interesting hip hop vibe to & Fingertrees is a nice instrumental. 3
The bar was set high with Everything in its Right Place, but the potential wasn't met.
Better than the last Radio Head album I listened to.
When I was 15, I fell in love with Radiohead. I heard the song High and Dry and realized that they were far more capable than the song Creep, which I never liked in the first place. I told my dad “this song is so sad” and he told me that Radiohead were one of the quintessential “sad” bands. Thus began my decade-long infatuation with this band, the most well-loved group by hipsters and other music hobbyists. Fake Plastic Trees was the first song I ever learned on guitar on my own. Radiohead was my first “favorite band” and me loving Radiohead became one of my known personality traits throughout high school. My love for them has cooled in recent years, but I still have a soft spot for them in my heart. Kid A, what is usually considered the pinnacle of the band’s lust for experimentation and a beautiful representation of artistic freedom, is a fucking disaster. I hate this shit. It’s completely disjointed, it’s bloated with cheap filler despite being less than 50 minutes long, and it’s nothing more than the band throwing at a dartboard while occasionally landing on the bullseye. Please listen to me. After the success of OK Computer, the band was given permission to do whatever the hell they wanted. A dream come true for most bands, but this initially felt like a limitation, as chief songwriter Thom Yorke was suffering from severe writer’s block. Yorke and his mental illness was, and still is, vastly underestimated by the general public as well as the fans. A man who despised being in the limelight was thrust into it over a few short years, and he got there by writing songs about his own mental illness. Now his managers were demanding he write more songs about his mental illness. Brutal. He was clearly worse for wear. This resulted in two major changes to the songwriting process. For one, there is almost no guitar on Kid A. Yorke had been listening almost exclusively to electronic music in search of a new creative spark. The entire band upended their foundational structure with some roles being changed or removed entirely, as Radiohead’s three guitarists were writing songs with zero guitar, and some songs had no drums for Phil. The other change is that he would write down strings of words on paper, cut them out, and assemble song lyrics by drawing them out of a hat. Classic dadaist move. An immensely popular band taking cues from that playbook is impressive, and I must respect it. But I don’t have to like it. Before this album, Radiohead often had lyrics that conveyed a sense of dystopia, hopelessness, or otherwise futile resistance. When the band finds a good tune, such as the interesting chord progression here, I find myself wishing they would back it up with more interesting, human lyrics. A juxtaposition between soulless instrumentation and intrinsically creative lyrics may be a chance to represent a human’s experience living in an evolving digital age, as Radiohead was at the time. At the time of Kid A’s release, the world had just narrowly avoided the Y2K “bug.” Much of the band’s marketing took advantage of the developing Internet technology. They knew how to write about the world in which they lived. And yet, on the iconic opening song "Everything in Its Right Place,” Yorke mutters “yesterday I woke up sucking on a lemon / there are two colors in my head / what was that you tried to say.” That’s it. That’s the joke. Sometimes the band managed to strike gold. The first truly fantastic song on Kid A is How to Disappear Correctly. Lo and behold, it’s also the first song on the record that doesn’t have randomly assembled lyrics. It comes from a real experience Yorke had, one in which he was struggling to stay grounded and present while on a tour bus. He asked Michael Stipe of R.E.M fame for help. His response? Closing all the windows, shutting your eyes, and repeating to yourself “I’m not here. This isn’t happening.” Those two sentences form the basis of the song, along with string passages that are absolutely soaked in sorrow. There’s nothing robotic about it! It resonates entirely as human. Loneliness, alienation, invisibility. This lovely song represents one portion of how the album could sound if it had a stronger foundation of ideas, or a tighter structure. But it doesn’t, not in the slightest. This song is preceded by The National Anthem, whose selling point is an absolute traffic jam of a brass section and a bassline that Yorke wrote in middle school which, unfortunately, sounds like it was written in middle school. The song is then followed by Treefingers, a little ambient interlude, even though the album is so short that an interlude is unnecessary. There are satisfying songs on Kid A that are longer than Treefingers, a song in which nothing happens. It does not need to be there. While How to Disappear Completely showcases the human side of the record, another song demonstrates the robotic side to perfection. That would be Idioteque: a song built on samples, a sequenced beat, and the cut-up lyrical technique Yorke uses throughout the record. It’s a very interesting take on the sort of “club banger” track that would be worked into DJ sets across Europe. The lyrics here are just as jumbled as most other songs on the record, and even though they don’t mean anything, they feel like they do. “Ice age coming, ice age coming / Let me hear both sides / We’re not scaremongering / This is really happening.” Despite it being completely unintentional, it seems like an indication of their future work, especially on Hail to the Thief, the most overtly political of all their albums. Idioteque is an example of the other half of Kid A, the soulless mechanical side, working out very well. If only the whole album married this with the human side, but it doesn’t. Nearly every song leans too far to one side or the other. I firmly believe Kid A, even though it has a few fantastic Radiohead songs, is too disconnected and experimental for its own good. It feels like forcing something into existence when nothing had to be there at all. It’s equivalent to panning for gold. Sure, there’s some treasure to be found. But most of what you’ll find is a whole lot of dirt. Tl;dr I think the album mostly sucks, but it’s Radiohead so it’s still kinda good. Idioteque and Disappear kick ass. In Limbo sucks. Treefingers pointless. Best version of Morning Bell. Ends weird.
Ambient rock; no stand out hits, but interesting soundscape; RS 500 - 3.64
Sentí bastante existencialista y lo puedo describir como hermosamente apocalíptico
I just didn’t quite vibe with this as an entire album. There are some exceptional moments of beautiful music in here, but I just didn’t find myself enjoying large portions of it. I generally do like what Radiohead I have heard. So maybe I just need to let this one marinate. But for now, I think it’s only a high 3/5 for me.
Break/through album for its time.
Liked barely 2 songs from it
Op de beste momenten gelaagd, gedurfd en verrassend uitwaaierend tussen noise en trance. Op de slechtste momenten inspiratie voor AI-systemen om eindeloze achtergrondmuziek voor meditatieruimtes uit te braken. Perfecte muziek voor als je 's nachts dronken of stoned in een veld naar de sterren ligt te kijken. Alleen jammer dat ik zelden drink en geen drugs doe. En dan is het toch wat te langdradig.
tis wel leuk, zitten goeie nummers tussen ma tis wa te veel van tzelfde en soms iets te overdreven voor mij
Did not really like this album for a band that I know is pretty good
I’d really like to like Radiohead but it’s a lot of monotonous whining right?
More sounds from Radiohead. Not bad. Not great. Good background noise, I guess.
I feel like this is one of the weakest radiohead albums but there were loads of great songs in this album regardless. I don’t really know whether you’re supposed to listen to the extended version of this album as part of the review but I did anyways.
I’m more of an In Rainbows guy
I'm not on the Radiohead is the greatest band in the world train.. but its an OK album.
Better than the other Radiohead album I had. It's interesting sounds, but I feel it's always leading to somewhere that it never gets to. Where's the oooompf?
Nice collection of sounds we have here but that's about it. Everything else, be it songwriting or whatnot, is unremarkable to say the least. Was expecting more considering the legacy behind this album, with pitchfork giving it a 10 and the general consensus of this being a life changing masterpiece, but well, it is what it is. Probably the band's most experimental work, but relatively speaking, it could barely be called experimental. The digestible experimental type, I guess. If I wanted that sound, there are other projects doing it better, and being more bold about it. Couldn't really connect with the album. The vision is there, sure, but it felt incomplete. Still a good album, just not the "good" I expected from one of Radiohead's most famed work.
Critics darlings, but they are overrated.
Ok
Det er jo lidt et album, hvor man er blevet enig om, at det er godt. Det er det også i min optik, men jeg synes ikke, at det er *så* godt. Nogle af deres absolut bedste sange er her på - Everything In Its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely bl.a., men der er også numre, der overhovedet ikke holder kadencen. Hvor lander man så? 3.5 sue me
weird album. i grew up always thinking radiohead was a rock band, but this is more just ambient kinda music. It’s cool, but not anything exciting
While still not as good as Ok Computer this album is better than I remembered.
Aldrig lyssnat så mycket på Radiohead. ÄR väl inte världens roligaste musik men det är ju bra, det hör väl nästan alla. Stark trea
first song is viral, kinda good till the robot starts, then it’s kinda noise music, currently i don’t know who’s listening to it. It’s kinda giving pink floyd, or what i think they sound like. I’ve had the urge to skip, no songs are playlist worthy.. good drums and beats really tight, just not for daily listening
Fine. Cool production. A little quiet and York's voice is annoying
Kul att de gjorde det
I’m… just not a Radiohead guy
Meditiative and existential, it feels soul crushing Favourite track: Everything in its Right Place
This is a groundbreaking album. But only for diehard Radiohead fans. It marks the boundary of indiepop Radiohead and Avant Garde Radiohead. It's the sound of a band redefining itself and finding it's feet once more. It's also a bit of a snooze.
Everything in its Right Place are you friggin jokin my PANTS. One of my top songs ever, no doubt. This is my first time fully listening to a Radiohead album, and I forget not all their songs are melancholic in the way I expect. Would it be crazy of me to say this sounds like a very British album? Not in a bad way. It makes me think of a gloomy, wet day on that grey little island. After fully listening, there are only 5 songs I would put in my likes and listen to regularly. These are songs that would make me cry at 3 AM on the toilet. That’s my bar for Radiohead songs I think.
I know lots of folks rave about Radiohead and I’ve tried to give them a listen here and there. But I’ve never actually made it through an album. Kid A for me was pretty decent overall. Some of the tracks sounded a bit like U2 to me. But the others were wicked. I’m sure if I did a deeper dive into their music it would grow on me.
Viel erbij in slaap, beetje boring Optimistic was wel aardig
mmm
Its a ok
I really do prefer the more electronic songs in here. I don't know, I've been putting off listening to this and the way people talk about this album I was expecting to be more blown away. It's not a bad album by any means but eh.
It does some cool things, I liked it better than In Rainbows, IDK I find their music kind of boring largely, but this does enough cool things to maintain my interest. 3/5
robots overtook humanity and discovered melancholia очень приятно слушать. новый опыт вторая половина треков кажется уже human like. и явно скучнее. инструментал все еще крут, вокал не впечатляет, кое-где даже портит первый альбом из которого я добавила себе в плейлист что-то (treefingers) от бонусного трека ощущение, что заглянул в ледниковую трещину overall: я люблю эмбиент, и люди, которые делали этот альбом, очевидно тоже. мне понравилось, но дикого восторга не вызвало
Again, interesting and varied music, but the vocals just sound like amorphous moaning.
I can't really place my thoughts with this record. Would it be fair to say that it feels a bit too much like a "we're popular now so we can do no wrong" kind of album - y'know, self induglent? This is my first Radiohead album even though I know they're borderline mythical, and on a technical level the album is brilliant - I just don't care for it. That being said, made me very interested in their other work, I'm looking forward to discovering the myth.
I was impressed with this in my head, but I didn’t feel it in my heart or my feet.
I was hoping an experimental Radiohead album would be more engaging. It's fine for a slow burn, but probably too slow.
Sweet noises
Everything in Its Right Place - 4/5 Kid A - 3.5/5 The National Anthem - 3/5 How to Disappear Completely - 4/5 Treefingers - 2.5/5 Optimistic - 3.5/5 In Limbo - 3/5 Idioteque - 3/5 Morning Bell - 3.5/5 Motion Picture Soundtrack - 4.5/5 Untitled - 4/5
This was probably crazy in 2000 but in the big 2026 it had a hard time latching on to me. Maybe I was just bored but it felt like it kept covering the same ground tonally. Maybe I’ll come back to it with a more open mind but as of writing this it doesn’t strike me as anything special.
aphex twin para 60¥s edgy que no entenderían aphex twin
pretty goods
Hmm…I listened to this once on my way to work & liked about half of it okay. I listened to it later with headphones & I still only liked about half, but I liked it more than originally. This album more than the last one I “got it” with Radiohead, but I still think - like all popular music really - you kinda “had to be there”
Трохи нудно, проте атмосферно
The Last Song was my fav, but in General Lets say like 3 out of 5 good Songs but it didnt give me like a feeling I didnt feel anything
okey but not that me y'know like it's not my vibes
It was never going to be a BAD album when I saw it was Radiohead as I realy like their music; however I feel as though that is nowhere near their best album or work. It was listenable but I can’t give more than a 5/10
Este es el primer album que me recomienda la pagina, y como primer albun siento que fue demasiado experimental como para comenzar pero me gusto. Temas bastante raros, con letras medio raras tambien pero me gusto bastante la onda, los sonidos, y lo que transmite en general el album. 7/10 Bastante bien para ser el primero
I don't think it's their best album. Compared to other music still probably a 4 but compared to their own other albums a 3. So I'll give it a 3.
128. dunudnusndund
Wtf, está creativo Radio. No se si estoy escuchando un álbum de rock alternativo o el soundtrack de algun juego de terror psicológico. Igual god
- These Zios again. Boycott. - This album is where I got off the Radiohead train back in the day. I know everyone was losing their shit over it, but I just didn't really connect with it. Mainly because I don't like the first bunch of songs. - It's soooo whiney... and enunciation is out the window, well, nose. - The instrumentation often feels random/all over the place/manic and makes me feel anxious. - I like the second half of the album a lot more than the first half (e.g. Idioteque (the beat is great) and Morning Bell and Motion Picture Soundtrack have some nice melodic moments) + How to Disappear.
I appreciate this album more than I enjoy it. Kid A (track) lyric process is cool. I can only handle Thom Yorke’s voice in small doses.
Radiohead tar ett steg bort från låtar och intresserar sig mer för ljudlandskapet. Musiken flyter. Svårt att få grepp om detaljer. Det är ibland en styrka, som i inledande Everything in its right place, men på andra spår lite sömnigt. Gillar de mer traditionella rockbandslåtarna The National Anthem, Optimistic och In limbo.
После кантри я сперва такой вау, а потом быстро надоело :(
I don’t rlly like Radiohead tbh
Fave songs: everything in its right place (duh); the national anthem;
Love all Radiohead but this one just fall short of what I believe brought many to the band. Beautiful songs that can almost be interpreted as a call for craving in many.
A mi juego me llamaron aca, me encanta Radiohead, este año estuve incursionando mucho en su discografia y muchos temas me sonaron y disfrute mucho. El primer track es una muy buena introduccion a lo que sigue en el album, con un ritmo suave y llevadero. How to disappear Completely realmente una obra de arte auditiva, transmite un sentimiento y una emocion incredible su voz, tuve que volver a reproducitlo en medio de mi escucha. Gran tema a destacar Tambien Idioteque, buen ritmo energico y con esa nostalgia que caracteriza la voz de Thom. The nacional anthem incredibles vientos Tambien ultra destacables Es sin duda un album muy introspectivo, muy interesante, posiblemente no sea de mis preferidos por no conocer o no tener tantos hits conocidos. Pero es una muy buena obra igual. son 3 los puntos.
talk talk wannabes
Kind of meh for me?
I've heard it said that this albums a grower. I do find myself taking it out for a spin every once in a while to test that... which I did again last night. If I'm in the mood to hear some Radiohead, In Rainbows, OK Computer or The Bends are my usual go to albums. This listening of Kid A doesn't change that, but....... I did find myself liking it more than I have in the past. Some of the tracks on here are more soundscapes, while others are more cohesive songs. I definitely prefer the latter like in Idioteque or Optimistic. After this listening I'd put Kid A at a 3 1/2 if I could.
I think that is not my cup of tea but some lyrics are so profund.
Ok for mood music, but otherwise a tad boring. No stand out to grab my attention.
I dig a lot of the Radiohead that I've listened to. This feels adjacent to that in the sort of artistic, repetitive, drone / noise space. It's fine, but doesn't catch me and make me want to listen on repeat.
Radiohead is another of those bands that is considered to be seminally important to modern music, and at least based on this album, I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Don't get me wrong - there are some great riffs and rhythms here, and the production is spectacular. But there's a lot of repetitive ambient noodling that just doesn't do anything for me. I wouldn't mind having it on in the background while I'm trying to get work done, but I wouldn't seek it out to actively listen to.
Apart from The National Anthem, which I really enjoyed, the whole thing felt like it just drifted by without leaving too much of an impression.
I like this as background music, some songs I’m familiar with but most were new to me, they all carry quite the mood with them, there is no happiness in this album imo. They’re better than 3/5 but I didn’t enjoy it that time more than a 3/5
What was this?
Love the vibe, love the concept, but honestly it just does nothing for me. No standout tracks. Nothing that really sucks me in. When I'm in the mood for some Radiohead (which is fairly often) I'm probably not reaching for this album.
Definitely influenced form early aphex twin albums/songs. Strong start with a meek finish towards the back end. Short album but good.
This was an extremely depressing experience
Hade svårt för radiohead när det begav sig. Det har inte ändrats. Det är nåt som tar emot. Kan inte riktigt sätta fingret på det. Hade mycket hellre tagit emot musiken med öppna armar. Men det är mest meh, så tyvärr. Blir inget toppbetyg.
Good album. I really like the experimental kind of sound, and the limited use of vocals makes it feel a little more stand out. While I enjoyed listening I don’t think any of these will be added to my regular rotation.
still never really love Radiohead 3/5 #musicsky #albumsky
Not a Radiohead fan. I don’t get the fuss and critical acclaim. This is fine but not essential as far as I’m concerned.
You lose your attention while listening to it quite fast. Which means, in all honesty, it's not that memorable.
Yorke's voice, lyrics and pronunciations are a constant with Radiohead but with the new sound a lot of dynamics are lost. Gone are the dramatic buildups and releases of tension. It feels a lot more monotone than previous work as a result.
Radiohead es radiohead me gusta por los recuerdos que me trae... Pero la música siempre me costó digerirla
Mmmmmmmm mucha ketamina
Not the biggest Radiohead fan. Album is cohesive and certainly very 2000. Seems a little experimental with some Grunge inspiration.
I didn’t hate it but electronic music is not my favorite genre.
It's kinda weird and I kinda like it. Only song I was familiar with prior to this assignment was Optimistic, which doesn't sound much like the rest of the album. I can see how it ended up on this list - it has a really different sound. I also liked the overall ambient/ethereal vibe. That said, I do find Thom Yorke's voice to be kind of grating sometimes and there were a couple of songs I needed to skip. (3)
You hear one of these come on and you know there's no post-credits scene and you can safely leave the cinema now
Every time I listen to a Radiohead album I'm falling asleep by the end. Snoozefest! Instead of calling him Thom Yorke they should call him Thom Boring. Or Boring Thom.
Fine, again can't really get into Radiohead
Yeah idk man, I tried listening to it again and it really really realy wore off me. I feel like people who are trying to say this thing is one of the greatest albums of all time are seriously on some pretentious bullshit here. This is Aphex Twin for people who like their music with a little less flavor and a little more mayo. In all seriousness though, I'm probably not having a great time with this due to the band being beyond washed up and now that Thom and Johnny are just being absolute twats about their career and their stances on geopolitics, I kinda hear this music as one giant sham. Trying to sound smarter and emotionally deeper than they actually are. OH DON'T GET ME STARTED ON OK COMPUTER.... anyway. The music itself is fine, there's not really any song here that's BAD really, it's just overall uninteresting to me and I feel like the main thing that sticks with me is the humming sound in "Idioteque" and the drum machine loop in that same song. While it's playing, "Optimistic" is actually a pretty decent track that breaks me out of the monotony, but yeah I just don't know. If anything, my tone feels harsh here because I feel like I've been lied to and I need to not lie to myself. Radiohead is NOT THAT GOOD. and THAT'S my opinion. GOOD NIGHT.
An opinion that will incur the wrath of Pitchfork magazine readers and others alike: Radiohead as a band ended with OK Computer. Then Radiohead as an art object began, because, in my opinion, almost all of their subsequent work can be described with the phrase "experiments for the sake of experiments," and that began with this album. Guitars are minimal here (quite unexpectedly after the previous album), but there's an abundance of ambient, IDM, techno, and other "smart" electronica, sometimes bordering on white noise. Overall, the album can be roughly divided into two parts: music for a German club and music for floating. The faces of everyone who expected the band to cement their status as the new kings of intellectual rock here are beyond imagination. Many critics may consider Kid A practically the most important album of the 2000s, but I'd rather listen to The Bends several times over.
Hmwah....een of twee nummers leuk. Een hele cd iets minder. Ook veel verschil in " luistergemak"
malo bučan, dosta šizofren a ponajviše tužan zvuk
Kid A is hard to rate. Some bangers, some annoying stuff. This is like HiFi audio. Its weird. But i want to like it, but i dont _really_ like it. 3/5
So this is the famous Kid A. It wasn’t too bad but I feel like I’m even more depressed now so thanks for that. Solid album but I don’t know if it’s as amazing as it’s made out to be
This one was maybe a tad too experimental for me. Of all the Radiohead albums so far, this was is easily my least favorite. I don't want to say it's horrid outright. There's still some good songs sprinkled in here that I can appreciate. As a package, I just thought the first half really wasn't all that great. The second half was quite good though, so I'll leave this right in the middle rating-wise. Getting a teeny bit tired of the Radiohead at this point.
Very sleepy and ethereal….
Nice album, very sad songs, very sort of samey after about the 5th song, it's weird how this is sort of TikTok music now? I don't mind radiohead, but don't think i ever fully got them, its a good album but i'm not rushing to put it on again.
Great album
I guess I can't enjoy Radiohead as I used to anymore Still this album contains undeniable great songs, some others are just okay in my opinion
Album 60 Top 3 favorites off the album: Idioteque, Treefingers, Motion Picture Soundtrack It's Radiohead. I like Radiohead. The first album I listened to was A Moon Shaped Pool because it had just come out, and then I went to OK Computer. This feels like it bridges some of the stylistic gap well. Gotta be honest, though: I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be. That's not to discredit it being a good album. It's just that. Good. Not incredible. Not even life changing, really. It's a fine listen. There are other Radiohead albums I'd rather spend my time listening to than this one, and that's okay. Nobody panic. Unfortunately, I'm not well-versed enough in this to comment on better albums from around the same time. I'll take other people's suggestions.
a lot of songs viral on tiktok, never knew where they came from until now
Saved: How To Disappear Completely In Limbo Morning Bell Motion Picture Soundtrack
6/10 motion picture soundtrack är ju en BANGER Men resten var ändå okej/ ganska bra
Overall a good listen, liked the vibe and feel of it as a whole but nothing a lot of replays
Undeniably a classic, just kind of fell out of love with the band.
Good album but overrated and a bit of band self flagellation
I’d feel smarter if I was totally into Radiohead, but alas…
Love me some Radiohead. Not my favourite work from them.
6/10
Everthing in its Right Place
The first one on this list that I was familiar with. While I was never much of a Radiohead fan growing up, I have learned to appreciate them over the years. The first track on this album was on the Vanilla Sky soundtrack, so that was a very familiar beginning. The experimentation on this album is obvious, and I’m sure it was pretty divisive to their fans back in its time the same way Pink Floyd’s albums were sometimes.
Classic. I love Radiohead
Good album and marked a new direction for the band but I’m partial to the Bends and OK Computer
Fav: how to disappear completely 3/5
I guess I understand why it’s on the list, but just too slow/boring/experimental to be my thing.
Somewhat off-putting at times with his voice. Not my favorite RH album
Radiohead you could never make me like you. Okay, maybe a little. This wasnt bad, its super atmospheric and even a little soundscape-y at times. I do like how well everything flows together here and I gotta give them credit for making pretentious style music good.
I first heard it when it was new and my tastes couldn't handle it. I needed something more tuneful. Nowadays I appreciate it quite a bit more, but still find some of it a hard listen.
A bit slower than I would go for, and quite instrumental. Not something I would choose but it was decent/
3.5
3.0
Rate Radiohead later
This was the first album that Radiohead released that I didn't listen to having become a bit disinterested in the band following OK Computer. My review of this is going to be remarkably similar to my earlier review of In Rainbows though, in so much that it starts really well but I found the rest of it difficult to digest in just one sitting and that a single listen almost certainly doesn't do it justice! Gone is any semblance of the band that they were before which is of course simultaneously bold and alienating.
I certainly have a love/hate relationship with Radiohead. There are some songs on this album that are amazing and others are over the top pretentious.
6.0/10 - to be honest this was a struggle to enjoy except for a few tracks like everything in it's right place, how to disappear completely, and optimistic. The sound and landscape is great and really well produced. Definitely better Radiohead albums out there though.
Mid
A little too depressing but good
Me gustaron tres canciones, este álbum en especial no es mi favorito pero rescato la musicalidad que me encantó de “Motion picture Soundtrack”
Chill and vibey but not sure I fully get the hype
Típico disco de Radiohead deprimente. No le daré un 2 por ser Radiohead, pero estoy en un estado anímico en el que me repele esta música.
Heard before. Don’t love it.
Barely could finish
I like sm but I think it would be better instrumental
My rating is 3.3.
Some really cool stuff on this record, but I miss “The Bends” era Radiohead that was more of a real “rock” band. I’m all for experimentation and electronic sounds, just miss the edge and power of the band.
Nie wiem co mam myśleć. Pierwszy utwór mi się podobał, ale następne (aktualnie leci National anthem), już mniej. Za dużo się dzieje. Różne instrumenty muzyczne grające nieharmonijnie, wywołują jakiś chaos w mojej głowie. Trudno mi się skupić. Muzyka nie przystosowana do pracy.
Undercooked.
Need to listen again.
I know I said it before, but this album has such a Keane vibe. I loved this and will definitely listen to it again!
I liked this more than other Radiohead albums. It was a little more of a finished idea and some of the grooves were good. 3.5/5 Might listen again
Pretty good.
Not really a big fan of Radiohead so i can take or leave this one. Musically not bad and you can see the talent but doesnt do it for me.
Kid A was the name of Len Houmous’ first and only child. 3.0 3/11 The National Anthem
never liked radiohead that much, this album is okay at best, has some IDM elements but it feels a bit too conventional for my taste, like the average joe can listen to it and enjoy it but for me its not that interesting.
Sehr experimentell, hat mit "Rock" nichts zu tun *denk Kann man mal machen. Hat bei mir ne Weile gedauert bis ich mich reingehört habe. War nach erster Abwehrreaktion bei mir dann doch ganz hörbar.
Not really my thing, I don't really like Thom Yorke's voice either. Favourite tracks: The National Anthem, Idioteque
Crei que no me iba a gustar pero si! Despues escuche ok computer y este me siguio pareciendo mejor
Very chill, pleasant, easy listening. Not sure I particularly enjoy Thom Yorke's voice, but it's not grating to me either. Don't think I'll return to this. 6/10. For the purposes of this project, I will rate 9 or 10/10s 5 stars, 7 or 8/10s 4 stars, 5 or 6/10s 3 stars, 3 or 4/10s 2 stars, and 0, 1 or 2/10s 1 star
Creative and beautiful but not really my type
This album is a tough one to write about. I love conceptual albums or albums that try to make stuff outside of the normalcy of music-making, so you think I’d love this album. And while I listened to every song, enjoyed listening to them and appreciated the awesome sound Radiohead produced, it was hard for me to sit down and listen. I constantly had to tell myself to finish the album because it wasn’t bringing me back. 3/5
O tintilhar de Motion Picture como se sininhos e estrelas piscassem é tão alucinatório na melodia, que lenta, enfatiza o que essa música me faz sentir : A transformação. A letra que fala da desilusão ( motor das mudanças) brilha quando termina na frase "I will see you in the next life." O vocalista do álbum modula tanto a voz pro agudo, depois desmodula, que se torna dramático. Apesar dessa modulação parecer com um tédio, ela não é apática, mas de fato ksenia, é uma voz inóspita, próprio da infância referenciada no título do álbum. Morning Bell, constante na bateria e com uma voz mais divertida, realmente agita as coisas para então em Idiotique termos desorientação com pratos batendo e a voz ruidosa, mesmo que nessa confusão os sons camuflados nos deixem intrigados pelo que está abaixo da voz estridente e da riqueza. Ambas as músicas com sua letras perturbadoras vão de um polo ao outro, de alegria a demência. Em Idiotique uma riqueza que ( ao contrário de Motion Picture) parece uma Arca de Moedas caindo no chão, sons ainda mais desordenados, metálicos e convulsionantes. Parece grunge, mas isso eu falo como leigo. Só acho que grunge se pareceria com isso. Eu tive que parar em In Limbo para escrever porque é até agora a minha favorita, e a última que escutei do álbum antes de acabá-lo, então virão outras. Eu posso ouvir as mãos na caprichosas na guitarra e a a maior suavidade da voz. Eu escuto a engrenagem das cordas de In Limbo com fascínio, como se estivesse prestes a desvendar o cubo mágico. É o som que só dedos poderiam produzir através de cordas. E eu não entendia porque essa música me lembrava algumas cenas em estradas, agora eu sei, ela contém a sensação de descoberta e ao mesmo tempo conclusão quando eu escuto o chiado som de televisão no final dela. E toda conclusão é sempre uma descoberta. Pouco antes desse som de TV sem sinal surgir, a voz suave se multiplica, são várias vozes juntas cantando " Voltar" para se depois todas diluirem. A letra sobre isolamento, sobre a certeza de escolha de perder contato com parceceiro pede por auto conhecimento, pede por retorno a quem somos. Eu estou de joelhos!
Gode hits, lækkert, lidt for lækkert måske
A very mellow album!
Some of it is interesting, but more of it was boring. 2.8.
This album was good but something I enjoyed too much. It’s super alternative. Dark and moody for sure. The lyrics seem darn. I think I need to listen to it more. Is it about someone contemplating suicide??
two of the songs were nice. the rest sounds like men if they ovulated
i'm familiar with this album, listened to it once fully, and had a few songs that i saved and continued to listen to afterwards. going back to it, with a deeper appreciation of electronic music, i think i can appreciate it more. a track that really stood out to me this time was treefingers! i loved the ambiance. overall pretty solid, not my favorite of theirs, but good nonetheless.
Very chill, mellow vibes. Some songs are super beautiful, others are a bit abstract. It isn’t my favorite but don’t dislike it. It’s pretty good for what it is, 3-3.5/5
Primeiro albúm que estou a ouvir como parte deste desafio, gostei. Devia ouvir mais de A Tribe Called Quest. Neste aqui tanto o tema de abertura como o final são bangers, a minha favorita é capaz de ter sido "What?".
I liked it but didn’t love it. Radiohead just doesn’t do it for me for whatever reason
Good album. A lot of instrumentals that where really nice to listen to, favorite song is how to disapear completely
Looking at the reviews, the tracks I hated on this are the ones that everyone else loved, even the ones who didn't care for the album. Lyrically, not impressive (LOOK AT ME I'M VERY SAD!!!!), imo. There are suicide albums that have resonated way more, in a lyrical sense, with my specific experiences. Sonically, super interesting - a lot of texture, a lot of drone, punchy bass and drums. I do not like Thom Yorke's voice, less of that please. Keep only from Treefingers to Morning Bell, and it's a solid 4.5/5. Otherwise, 3/5.
Me pareció que tenía una búsqueda interesante. En si totalidad me gustó, pero si hay algunas canciones que creo que son fácilmente olvidables, por lo menos para mi. Desde 'The nacional anthem' en adelante lo empecé a disfrutar mucho más
I'm in love with this album. It feels very different yet the same to their other works. I love the atmosphere the album presents, and how I can't place some of the songs into playlists I have.
best song: motion picture soundtrack worst song: untitled surprise song: everything in its right place
like it was fine. very cinematic. not what i was expecting though.
love the soundscape aspect to this piece, feel the need to be in a dark space completely drown out all senses to fully appreciate this album. I really enjoyed the use of strings adding to this wave of wash of sound (how go disappear completely). definitely in the prog rock/grunge category. unusual listen for me but interesting!! untitled had a beautiful nostalgic feel which concluded the album nicely. honourable mentions: 1. how to disappear completely 2. the national anthem 3. motion picture soundtrack overall rating: 3
Lots of instrumentals which love also like KID A reminded me of crystal castles but I don’t think I’m that depressed rn to be liking this🤣 this is very you find this in Y12 and listen to this everyday
Will become Teen B.
7/10
ive heard of Radiohead beforeee. I’m excited to listen. I’ve def heard the first track soMEWHERE I JUST DK. I expected it to be more grunge rock, kind of like limp bizkit type beat. The first two tracks were giving vocaloid. They’re British so it’s making sense actually. National anthem is speaking to me. No longer giving vocaloid…after first two tracks I can actually understand what’s being said LMFAOOO. I’m curious to see how this is influential…it’s not bad but it’s not wowing me to the point where I think it’s necessary to listen before you croak. Idioteque is eating HOLD ONNN. That transition into morning bell was so yummy. Ok I just finishedddd and honestly that album wasn’t that bad. I don’t think it was spectacular but for people who are more familiar with this vibe or genre I see how it can be influential to them. I didn’t really connect that much with this album and I think because my preferred type of music is more lyrical and fast paced? I can listen to slow songs though but I prefer more lyrics. not bad for the first album though!!
This is my first listen to Kid A, and it’s basically the smug soundtrack for a post nuclear apocalypse world. How to Disappear Completely hints at the shimmery ballads Radiohead will eventually get to, but this is art school wankery at its most wanky. And yet there is something inexplicably compelling about it (apart from The National Anthem - an unlistenable, pretentious fusion of avant garde free jazz and Krautrock).
I am sorry for my rating and review Anthony - I feel like I am supposed to like this more than I do … sorry to Radiohead - not sure why it doesn’t resonate with me - not upbeat enough?? Maybe a few more listens would do me good - but I’m landing between 3 and 4 closer to 3 for now I feel like Coldplay was really trying to sound like this sorry I keep thinking of Coldplay when I’m listening to this!
Thee and a half, actually. A little better than average.
Con este disco ya empecé a irme un poco de ellos. Hay temazos y peñazos. Me guardo: "Everything in Its Right Place" y "The National Anthem", aunque también: "Idioteque" y "Morning Bell".
Probably my favorite album of theirs. Still only a 7/10
Boring, waiting for a climax thats not coming. Missing something to pull it all together. It's like background music for a movie or something you tone out. Likeables: Everything In Its Right Place
I am a huge Radiohead fan but this album might be too experimental even for me. I very much enjoyed some songs like Everything in its Right Place and Idioteque that seem to subvert their respective genres. But I found everything else to be too much noise.
Good, not my fav
Conflicted on this one because there were some songs I really liked and some I really didn’t, but I did like the overall mood of the album. Maybe enough to forgive some of the songs I didn’t like. I think I would maybe listen to the album again if I was in the right mood and I’ll definitely keep listening to the songs I enjoyed. Fav song: Everything In Its Right Place Least fav: The National Anthem
Cool album, would maybe listen again. 6.8/10
Kinda ok not my favorite has a lot of just instrumental which is fine just nothing that hits me hard enough
I enjoyed it but I'm never gonna get that excited about down-tempo ambient stuff
Radiohead doesn't need six albums on this list. That's too many dang Radioheads. At minimum we can drop Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows. Probably Amnesiac too, even though I love Like Spinning Plates Anyway, Kid A has some of my favorite Radiohead songs (Everything In Its Right Place, The National Anthem, Idioteque, Morning Bell), some ok tracks, and a couple that go nowhere. Overall I still prefer weird sad Radiohead over electronica Radiohead but Kid A is great already in collection
I feel like this album should either get a 1 or a 5. I _get_ that it's something special, but... I can't relate to it. Could not do it 25 years ago, still can't do it today. So, let's make it a 3, which is bullshit, because this cannot be middle-of-the-road. Still...
I always enjoy reading about albums that bands had the artistic freedom to do their way, without corporate or commercial pressures. I just wish I enjoyed the outcome as much.
Felt like a fever dream. It was alright, not annoying but I wouldn't say stand out album or band. Really need to be in the mood. Interestingly a song sounded very much like a song Placebo later made and I thought that was coolest thing about the album - Reddit agrees there is a similarity, not just in my head, but I don't think anything is sampled.
I was going to give this a 2 but it really picked up for me in the last third. Got a lot more interesting. I think musically it's varied and good, but Tommy Hawk's mawking is not for me... at least not for a whole album.
Meandering wailing whimsy. Not for me
*Musically relevant and creative- just not my thing *I wish I could get more into this band but they just don't do much for me
So that's what the big deal is about. I'll listen again.
Very interesting coming from Radio Head. Felt very experimental, almost like they were all high when they wrote this album. Overall interesting but not my favorite from them.
I don't think it's Radiohead's fault that they have become synonymous with pretentiousness - but surely there is no better example in popular music than Kid A. This is mid music. It's not terrible, but it's certainly not great and it doesn't have much to say. Fuck all the critics and fans who are so obsessed with being the ones who "get it" that they forget to be authentic to themselves. There's nothing *to* get. It's experimental electronic. it's alright but it's also fucking weird and mopey I like Radiohead, love them at times, but Kid A is mid 5.5 / 10 Best track/s: How to Disappear Completely, The National Anthem
Jeg tror, det her er et album, der vil have gavn af flere gennemlytninger. Kunne egentligt godt lide de fleste sange, men der var ikke noget, der bed sig fast.
I know how highly regarded this record is and I do like it but it’s just not 100% my thing.
Oh boy. Time and time again I'm reminded that I am sometimes an outlier in taste sometimes. Kid A does not do much for me. I appreciate its relevance and Radiohead's contribution to indie music. But I can't front run an album that hasn't spoke to me. Following me my entire life is a lack of appreciation for these mid era RH releases. I've been criticised and have recieved so many convincing arguments. But you can't top The Bends. I'm sorry. On the bright side the use of contrasting live instruments and synths combined with post rock elements does set this album apart from the rest of the catalogue. And the droning melodramaticism complements Thom's voice. I understand the appeal but I wont lie, this didn't do much to me. 3 stars on principal.
First listen
hrmmm... what an unenviable position to be in to have to follow up ok computer... i don't say this to mean that i think radiohead should've given up music at this point and become real estate agents or something. more that: i like kid a. i like radiohead. i had songs saved off of this album before i did a front to back listen... but!! ☝️this did not instill the same feeling of grandeur and emotion that ok computer did. feelings that, on ok computer's part, were pretty effortless to command whereas kid a felt... opaque??? meandering??? and, i have to speculate that's intentional for this album because of it's background as an exploratory endeavor following ok computer. i mean... they made two albums out of them fucking around here (lol). if i was talented enough to make two albums out of me fucking around on synthesizers, i would, but i'm not, so i don't, and that doesn't mean radiohead shouldn't have either, but i think i like their other albums more than this. highlights - kid a, the national anthem, how to disappear completely, optimistic, in limbo, idioteque, morning bell
Best Track - "Everything In Its Right Place"
i dont remember
6.6
3 sterne
It was aight — I’d give this one 3.5 stars prob
The Bends and Ok Computer are all-timers for me, but Radiohead lost me with this album, and I have not since returned. A few songs are pretty good ("Optimistic"), but generally, "music from the planetarium" is not a genre I'm into.
This seems complicated and interesting, but not enjoyable. No memorable songs; a lot of cool sounds that would be good as the soundtrack for a Blade Runner knockoff where a guy in a trench coat is walking down an alley.
Don’t like it as much as I think I should! Still prefer The Bends and will return to that every time I need a Radiohead fix
I love Radiohead. I liked the album, but it’s not all that remarkable. Just a bit forgettable, especially compared to the rest of the band’s discography.
I'm not sure how I feel about this album. It's a little too electronic for me, and Thom's voice is really weird and jarring at times. That said some of the riffs were really solid. I'm not sure I'd put it on myself, but I wouldn't complain if someone else did. I'm not sure how I feel about this album.

yep, sounds like Radiohead
I’m once again asking the universe to put me in the headspace that makes me pierce the veil that is Radiohead of the early 2000s. I think this album was cool - sonically interesting, extremely well played instrumental, interesting, some would say spooky even vibes. But I keep coming back to this nagging feeling in the back of my mind - I’m not in the headspace to really internalize/receive this album. I wish I could really ride for this (and amnesiac) and scream from the hills why actually it’s a 10/10 but I can’t! The tracks aren’t drawing me into their world the way they should under other circumstances. This is a solid 3/5 with the possibility of being a 5/5 if I my mind was somewhere else.
This was pretty good. Not as good as Amenisac but here we are
Estuve leyendo las opiniones muy atentamente y concuerdo en que es fantástica la experimentación de nuevos artilugios sonoros, pero Radiohead ha desaparecido o pretende reaparecer y...
Pretty good I guess but I still don’t really get the hype
This is the less interesting counterpart to Ok, Computer. I do appreciate and respect Radiohead and their insightful work, however, this one is harder to get into and appreciate.
This album is an interesting experiment in sound, blending electronic and ambient elements that create an incredible atmosphere. But at times, the noise and cool soundscapes can feel a bit dull. It’s not a bad listen, but it definitely requires the right mindset.
Punkty za oryginalne dźwięki, czasem trochę przynudzali ale generalnie dobry album do puszczenia w tle
Distorted.
Well, it turns out that most of this album just sounds a bit droney, if that's a real word. Creep is good, but there's too much of the same sort of sound.
Too may beeps and boops.
3 1/2 stars.
It's sometimes unsettling, but quite interesting. Different from most bands, some songs are almost noise, but others are beautiful. Would give it another listen.
I was definitely more into this album than other Radiohead albums so far. It wasn’t perfect, I didn’t love the first half as much as the second half but the songs that work are haunting and wonderful. I really struggled with what to review this album but honestly it just didn’t quite click with me enough to get a crazy good review, but there were several tracks that were really impressive and interesting. I just know that if I’m going to suggest Radiohead in the future I’ll probably recommend this one.
Very meh. I'm always surprised by how much people like Radiohead and assume I'm missing something, but this album isn't convincing.
buena musica
6/10
Lo siento por los fans de Radiohead, pero no consigo que la banda no me produzca sueño/aburrimiento. Es verdad que en cada disco hay dos o tres temas muy famosos y destacables, pero no soporto cuando experimentan. Eso no quita que reconozca su aportación y su influencia en la música de los últimos 20 años, pero creo que solo voy a disfrutar un greatest hits cuando toque. Lo mejor de este es “Optimistic”, en mi opinión.
Because I never really listened to Radiohead before, I had mixed feelings about this album. There were some great songs, but also some that I did not care for. Maybe I should relisten to it one day.
alright
The Head of Radio. Pretty good stuff.
B Everything In Its Right Place 4 Kid A 2 The National Anthem 3 How To Disappear Completely 5 Treefingers 3 Optimistic 4 In Limbo 3 Idioteque 3 Morning Bell 5 Motion Picture Soundtrack 5 Untitled 3 I've never been a huge Kid A fan.
I'm a Radiohead fan, but to be honest, this album never really landed for me. Too many long unfocused electronic moments. That said, it is superior to so many other albums on this list.
allora alcune canzoni spaccano, ma sembra di sentire rumore bianco e suoni futuristi. fuck marinetti
Would not buy.
Some nice soundscapes
I liked some of this, but it wasn’t my thing
On first listen I’m like this album is like a shroom trip by someone who’s maybe not in the right headspace for a trip but does one anyways and it gets pretty whacked out for a bit once the trip starts rolling, like depressive and noisy and unsettling, but eventually that cycle gets broken and left behind and fades away and then it ends up turning into a pretty nice trip by the end. Like a nice pretty flower by the end.
Dieses Album als Fiebertraum zu bezeichnen, würde dem Album einen zu negativen Klang anheften. Es erinner mich an Pink Floyd und ist auf jeden Fall Musik, welche zum genießen und erleben geschrieben wurde, jedoch für meinen Geschmack etwas zu experimentell. Faszinierende Klänge, welche mich als Hörer etwas überreizt haben.
3- Stars (7/15)
Думаю, для тих кому подобається така музика це один з найкращих альбомів,але для мене не дуже заходить, бо не поціновувач
Quite chill - Simon vibes Good post run cool down Track 1 good
No me acostumbro
Mange gode sange
Worthy
Not really what I was expecting with this album. Very avant-garde jazz sounds. Treefingers was the highlight of the album.
Sounded like a soundtrack to an indie film. It was okay.
A 3/5, I guess. The few songs I heard by Radiohead before, I mostly didn't like and I mostly don't like this album. The ambient electronica is insufferably boring most of the time, but there are definitely moments on this album that are really great. Why this album is considered a masterpiece, I'll never know.
It was a one note album. I was prepared to be dazzled. I was not.
Rock prise de tête
Kid A is not my favourite Radiohead album. This is a transition state for the band. Kid A is the pupa from which the later brilliance of the band would emerge, but this feels half-formed and, ultimately, a little boring.
All sounds much the same
Started off interesting and ended slow and draining.
This album feels like a side quest and I don’t know that I’d consider it must listen but I am addicted to this weird dumb band
More atmospheric and maybe even moodier than the other Radiohead albums we had, I think this ranks lower. I love Idioteque. I listened to it 3 times in a row before moving on with the rest. I'll say this is my favorite Radiohead song yet. Most of the other stuff I found kind of eh. This extra electronic they put in the music is pretty interesting though.
Alternative rock. Not too bad, the best Radiohead album I’ve gotten so far, but I still don’t think this band is for me. Did enjoy the ambient feel of this one though.
Not as good as some of thee other recordings.
I was really looking forward to this album. Apparently, I had never listened to it in its entirety before. Now I was a little disappointed. I had expected more. I really liked one track, two others were quite good. I found one track difficult to listen to. No, I don't like this album by a band that I otherwise love. Too bad. 3/5
Always like Radiohead, the boy I feel like my dad listening to Merle Haggard or some big band. Onto the next!
the first song is iconic and the album is more cohesive than fuzzy logic but music is drowny
It was a bit dreary
First album I'd heard before. Not radiohead's best, but a solid album.
