Kid A

pyramid song

I have no idea how to review this album. It's unlike most of the Radiohead stuff I heard and the instrumentals are wonderful.

Low key, not what I expected. Kind of went in the background easily.

This would be a good album to listen to at home, with the special speaker and special plants and special lights... ****

Not as exciting as when I first downloaded this from Napster (yep, Napster), but still an interesting album considering how big of a departure it was from their previous work. I still really enjoy the experimental nature of it, but it’s effect has mellowed on me in the last two decades. I would revisit this in the future though.

Plus aimé que OK Computer. Ça a plus un vibe psychédélique que full on alternatif. Toujours pas en amour avec le band mais je me verrais presque réécouter cet album.

Sort of ambient, free jazz, electronic, rock, with creepy singing and "you just don't get it" pretensions. I missed the boat on Radiohead as a pre-teen and now it appears I'm too old.

Sin mas

I miss guitars. And tunes. Some actual song son here, but needlessly obtuse. If I listened to this 20 times, I'm sure I would find things to like, but I just wish it rocked a bit more.

Strong jazz influences. Not something to listen to repeatedly, but interesting.

Begin van het album hint wat naar elektronische muziek, dus de sfeer is gezet. De muziek begint zweverig maar wel interessant. Herinnert me een beetje aan Air maar schiet echter niet heel erg op, oftwel mij iets te relaxt. Later wordt het wat meer rock-muziek en ook iets sneller. Best wel fijne overgang. Toch had ik het niet erg gevonden als het wat experimenteler was gebleven. ***

Normally enjoy Radiohead, just not so much for this album.

I don't know. It was alright. I didn't hate it but I also don't think I would listen to it again.

Good stuff! but for me I have to be in a particular mood for it. It's not all the time. It's like I really appreciate it's artistry and what not but I could also live without it.

Good start, get a bit boring later

Not listened to it properly in ages. When it first came out I dismissed it early on as it was such a change from the first 3 albums. It kind of put me off every album after as well. Only really dipping in to the odd song on them after loving the first 3 albums. It's OK computer with light edm. Probably a 3/5 "everything in its right place" is brilliant though. Other stand out tracks -the national anthem -idioteque

An album I have listened to several times before. Radiohead had a very distinctive sound, but one I only enjoy on a few songs. Listening to the entire album it starts to sound like background noise.

6/10

The best from this album IMO: - Everything In Its Right Place - How to Disappear Completely - In Limbo - Idiotheque 3.4/5

-"The National Anthem" has cool bass stuff going on, and I like the saxophonery -Cool harps in "Motion Picture Soundtrack" -Some cool drum fills and a decent amount of lyrics in "Optimistic" -I know this album is pretty big and famous, but it just didn't really pull me in. The only track that really Drew in my interest was "The National Anthem"

Dikke Anathema vibe uit dezelfde periode: A Fine Day To Exit en A Natural Disaster. Nog net iets experimenteler en meer elektronica. Sommige nrs net iets te bevreemdend.

Some interesting tracks. I do remember a couple or them from when I was younger but overall, I wouldn't listen to this again 5/10

Eh. I just don’t get it.

ambient

A fine album. I'm not so sure that it's as groundbreaking as the critics seem to think, but it does have some great songs.

National anthem Tree fingers Ideoteque Rest meh

Niet mijn muziek, iets te expirimenteel en zeurderig en kan er niet echt van genieten. Wel zie ik de kunst ervan in en begrijp ik het enthousiasme erover.

Conocia Radiohead por alguna canción mas rockera, el royo este alternativo meh.

Goid

So many people say it's so great. I wish I could agree. It's just so weird and eclectic, with every track being disjointed from anything else going on. Yes, there was some nice stuff in there, but I didn't like it as a whole.

Sounded better with headphones on, couple of good songs (for me). Probably need to listen to it again to start to appreciate it. It didn't grab me on first listen.

Dope sounds. Space. Mysterious.

Do you like radiohead? Then you will probably like this album. It's fine but I "don't get" the radiohead hype myself. Highlights are optimistic and idioteque

I wish I enjoyed this album more. It just isn’t an album I turn to for any reason. At its worse it sounds like a band using my technology to complain about technology. It’s sonically interesting and atmospheric but musically it leaves me a little cold.

I've definitely heard songs from this before. I didn't hate it, but it did not leave a super strong impression.

Jag gillar skivan i teorin, men jag mins inget av den efter att ha lyssnat igenom den två gånger.

Pour votre information, crisdusseld a été éjecté du groupe à deux pas de la ligne d'arrivée. Ça lui apprendra.

this is one of the reasons why everyone thinks radiohead fans are up their own ass..... but for a majority electronic album the drums/drum beats are actually killer! optimistic

Mix incroyable, clairement de la bonne musique mais manque un peu de folie/de moments forts. A un côté un peu elitiste relou, d'album que "tu peux pas comprendre". 2 saves sur 11.

veoma atmosfericno

I don’t usually enjoy Radiohead but this wasn’t too bad. ***

I can’t decide if this is better than the other album of Radiohead that I listened to. To me it’s all wallpaper music.

A mix - some tracks early that I didn't enjoy and them some etheral instrumental ones that were good.

Álbum feito para um nicho muito específico da sociedade. Astronautas em um módulo espacial, sem combustível e sem esperanças de retorno ao lar.

Rock progresivo bastante monótono

Very electronic. Interesting stereo effects, particularly good for headphone listening. Some tasteful and experimental use of dissonance. Not my typical music, but nice enough for a change of pace.

It's not my type. Cause I'm not suicidal...

Chilled

Not my fave

I need to listen again in full. not particularly memorable so far ... relaxing, smooth, talented and serene

Never listened to this album before. Much more ambient and electronic influence than I expected. This one feels like it needs multiple listens. Favorite tracks on first listen are Everything, Optimistic, and Idioteque.

Idioteque caught my attention. Sampled somewhere??

Keskinkertainen taidepläjäys eräältä suosikkibändeistäni. Kohokohdat (Idioteque, How to Disappear Completely, Motion Picture Soundtrack) ovat ihan kelvollista Radiohead-tasoa mutta huonoimmat kappaleet ovat vaan liian erikoisia. Nuoruusvuosien nostalgiatrippailu nostaa 2,5:en kolmoseen.

Synth heavy, some good beats, ethereal. Good shower music. Not my style for go-to. Might have to listen to whole Radiohead discography to really get a vibe.

Kind of boring

Not my bag baby...

Good but fatiguing at times

It's cloudy when I listened to this one, and I'm really feeling Treefingers.

I mean it's no Neil Young

Not a fan

I kept waiting for the songs to start, but they refused. Each song was a long introduction to a very cool song that never arrived.

Ugh. It's almost good, or at least almost okay. But at the end of the day, it's just another 2 star album. 2

Only really liked Idioteque. Not sure I’m a Radiohead fan.

2 Radiohead albums down and it’s still just not clicking with me. I know there’s a couple hits of theirs I like but as a whole package they’re probably just not for me.

I like a few of their big hits but I just can’t get into Radiohead

Really enjoyed the first song and none of the ones after

Radiohead put out two of the greatest albums of all time, then said "Fuck all that" and did this and apparently it's perceived as their best work. I have tried to get into this several times during various stages of my life ever since it came out but it just does nothing for me. I don't like it a lot on its own merits but even less as a follow-up to OK Computer.

Está bien. Tiene algunos temas que escucharía pero no es su mejor album

I didn't think I'd enjoy this. Really I thought I would hate it. But maybe that's exactly how I need to approach Radiohead albums bc it wasn't half bad. I didn't need to turn it down too much and only wanted 1-2 songs to end. HA! My husband will be happy to hear this.

All the Radiohead stuff is here - the electronic sounds, the cacophany, the vocal whine. I have never liked this band and this album does nothing to change that.

Sıkıldım, heyecan verici pek bir şey yoktu. Gece geç saatlerde dinlenebilir.

This is radiohead?

I’m gonna say it: most overrated band of all time It’s relatively inoffensive, and every once in a while there’ll be a cool segment at least. Vocals are solid, though I definitely like Yorke’s execution more in the other album we had from them. I think How to Disappear Completely is the only song on the record that sounds genuinely good, and it’s probably because it’s the only one that uses actual instruments I just can’t get into it. Lyrics are just random gibberish, like seriously look at any song in here and tell me what the hell they’re talking about. It feels so goddamn pretentious, like they know how challenging the music is to grasp and that you’re a dumbass if you don’t get it. I can see the argument that there was nothing like this at the time but I’m evaluating this as a “how much do I like this album right now”. Maybe I’m too stupid for this like all the critics at the time this released, but it’s just not something I greatly enjoy This is just kinda the opposite of what I enjoy about music, where there’s absolutely zero melody, variety, cool instrumentation, or really anything other than being a great album to fall asleep to. Will probably be one of my more controversial ratings considering so many people have this as a top 25 album ever made, period. In Rainbows at least had some more involved music in it even though it wasn’t my favorite. I’ll listen to this one again to see if I change my mind, but I’m greatly disappointed

This is a really boring album, the music does not get exciting at all in any way and I was just watching the seconds count down till I was done listening to this album.

Although I realize that Radiohead's albums have enjoyed widespread critical and commercial success, I continue to struggle to enjoy their music, and, unfortunately, my first full and focused listen to Kid A did not change that. Quite the direction to take following a release such as "OK Computer". I came into this album completely blind, so hearing a mix of familiar Radiohead with electronica and what some can describe as ambient sounds was a bit jarring. It just never really struck a chord with me while listening though. I do acknowledge that this was a brave endeavor for a group of Radiohead's caliber. Burnout is very much a real thing and artists should be encouraged to experiment and change things up if they feel the need to do so. Guess I just don't have the right ears or mindset for this kind of experimental "rock", though. Nothing really stuck with me after listening, except for maybe "Idioteque".

I'm not sure alternative stuff is really my jam. I can see what they were going for and quite liked the instrumental track but wouldn't put it on again

Very conflicted on how to feel about this, I’m all for experimental music, but some of this just feels a bit out there and kind of like shit just thrown together (idioteque), some does hit like outro to Kid A (but wtf r the vocals on it)

I love Radiohead but this album is too far towards the inaccessible.

I have been dreading my first Radiohead album, because I tend to be very down on them ever since being somewhat underwhelmed by OK computer. I'm looking forward to revisiting that, but Kid A came out and we got Optimistic on the radio and I couldn't get into it. I later heard Amnesiac… in Rainbows… I don't anticipate giving either of those above a 2. I come into this with a similar expectation, though I've never actually heard it all through. And the thing is, Kid A takes Radiohead from being a good rock band to being a mediocre electronic act (which i feel is redundant to begin with). And I suppose this is technically influential: when I hear this, I just think of better work by bands like Royksopp or Múm, but both exist in a post-Kid A world. And even those tracks are more structured than Everything in its Right Place (which feels more like a new synth user experimenting with every glitchy patch than it does a true song). This isn't as muddy an album as i recall Amnesiac being, but it is absolutely an album that isn't focused on structure in any conventional way. For as little as I still rate Optimistic, it is at least structured as a song. And it's not like this is totally devoid of interest. The National Anthem has a great groove and a lot of jazzy chaos until Thom comes in with those keening vocals, a voice that was a unique powerful instrument on The Bends but now just sounds like a hurt dog most of the time (when it is not distorted into cheesy robot tones like on the title track), and there is the wispy spirit of something floating throughout How to Disappear Completely. But there are more Idioteques, where unpleasant rhythm synths crash and fizzle more prominently than the caterwaul of Mr Yorke just a bit more distant in the mix. This was once a supremely promising rock band. By the time they get to Kid A, I feel like they are Emperors flaunting their new clothes, truly the sound of the aftermath of “red wine and sleeping pills”. Every choice feels like it is intentionally done in opposition to the three quite good albums that came before, and for me that lands on a 2*

not an album for me. i was hoping for more of a 90's rock vibe for my first time listening to radiohead. favourite song: how to disappear completely.

Admittedly, I am not a Radiohead fan. But this is my least favorite of all of their albums. I really do not care for Thom's voice, which is amplified by the sparseness.

Did not particularly enjoy this one. Quite whiny

I don't like this record at all. It's just art-rock synth noise. I am quite appalled that there are THREE Radiohead records on the 1001 albums you must hear before you die.... not one of them is worth listening to a second time, in my opinion and this one the least of the three. This record is boring, long synth drones with pasted together lyrics. There's little melody, no hooks and almost no choruses.

2/5

Très intéressant pour l'époque, mais sentiment mélangé à la fin de l'écoute. Certains morceaux m'ont plus, les plus mélodieux et doux, mais la majorité ne m'a pas parlé.

beautiful for someone else

jag vet inte varför jag stör mig så hårt på det här bandet

didn't love it, not great in my opinion

Not ok computer

I normally like random noises and incomprehensible singing but Radiohead just leave me cold . Plinky plinky industrial lite … just dull

Every time we get a Radiohead album I think to myself “maybe it’ll be like The Bends and be really good.” But then I listen to the album and it’s nothing like The Bends and I get a little let down by the future-forward version of Radiohead.

Once again proving I don't go with the mainstream (especially the critics), I didn't like this album. The music seems mostly ok, but the incessant whiny singing of random words and phrases drove me crazy. No thanks.

I will say this album had a lot more personality than the last 2 I heard on this list and I'm super glad this wasn't a double album with Amnesiac. Radiohead continues to be unimpressive.

did not love it (i am a big radiohead fan, but i like their earlier stuff more). i did really like "motion picture soundtrack" though!

2.5 - not bad but not my vibe

Weird, trippy space sounds. Mostly instrumental but not my type of music.

-súper experimental -solo 2 canciones tienen letras que me llegaron -guitarras muy cool -siento que estoy en una crisis nerviosa lol -overall 6/10

I know this album is seen as a classic and revolutionary for a lot of people but man do I have to disagree. Maybe you just need to be a certain mood to enjoy it but I was pretty bored and kind of sad throughout it.

Сара 2 Марко 2

ПРИКОЛЬНО, но я ниче не добавил, незавайбился. Вокал бы убрать у некоторых трков и шик был бы. Трифингер и Национал Антхем больше всех понравились. Первый трек с льбома тоже прикольный + он вроде очень популярный. Морнинг белл тоже хороший. Не знал что у радиохедов вообще такая музыка есть, альбом-открытие для меня

Contender for most overrated and overhyped album of all time.

27-Apr-2026 2/5 Radiohead - Kid A (2000) I found this album unremarkable. I listened to the whole album (inactive listening) and replayed a couple of them (active listening) just to make sure that I wasn't missing something. I generally like electronic music, but none of these songs seemed to grab me at all. It wasn't terrible, and probably fine for me as background music while doing other things, but it's definitely not an album I would sit down and listen to. I suspect that this album was edgy in 2000, but perhaps that new luster can fade on some music.

It is great. It has to be great. It is radiohead. Kid a. One of their classics. Everybody says it's great. I've never actually listened to it. And here I go and finally give it a try and I find myself falling asleep. Feels a bit like depressive meditation music. I wanted to like it. But didn't feel it. Maybe some other time.

Too much “experimental” for my taste. But still some nice melodic moments and obviously still amazing and genius musicians.

Some of the experimental ambient-like soundscapes are pretty cool, like in "Kid A" or "National Anthem" with its brass instruments. What I can't get over with is the depressing undertone of the whole thing. No, thanks, I don't love music that makes me feel so lonely, anxious and fundamentally sad. 2/5 Will put on some Colour Haze now to heal my soul :)

This was a really hard listen that got harder on repeat. Slow, droning and just not very interesting. Idioteque goes pretty hard though

Don't mind Radiohead but this was a bit meh

Sometimes too chaotic

Цією музикою можна катувати.

Radiohead is hit or miss for me, and this was the latter. Repetitive and boring. I would say it made me sleepy, but it also gave me a headache.

Nicht gut

Like the mood, but it really goes out there

Whiney and boring

motion picture soundtrack is the standout song for me! it gave me chills listening to it. how to disappear completely is also good. I like the start of idioteque, it sounds other worldy, the rest of it however, was meh the album itself is okay, a little melancholic. not the most memorable, since it is a little slow for my liking. the instrumentals are nice. I like how the lead singer sings with strain and emotion.

No me gusta este tipo de música

Not for me!

Er is een heerlijke mash-up gemaakt met Everything in its right place en Kendrick Lamar. Verder vind ik een hoop nummer niet zo fijn en heb er een hoop geskipped

I think they eat poopies. The music is sloppy.

Ett bra öppningsspå. Även The national anthem med tydliga Mingusvibbar är trevligt (även om mycket hellre lyssnar på Mingus själv). Där någonstans är det nog stopp på det roliga. För vi måste kalla en spade för en spade. Detta är inget bra album. Nästan lika överskattat som Gérard Depardieu anser sig vara. Trefingersdragnings hade kunnat spelas på vilket spa med vaniljdoftande oljor som helst utan att ett endaplockat ögonbryn hade höjts. I andra spår mumlar Yorke nått mer eller mindre ohörbart (som dessutom är meningslöst om man skulle lyckas uppfatta vad som sjungs). Någon direkt albumkänsla infinner sig inte heller. RH ska naturligtvis få experimentera och ta sin musik vilken väg de än vill, men med samma rätt väljer jag att ta avstånd från det. Bara för att man bryter ny mark innebär det inte att något positivt kommer ur det. Har då och då tänkt att jag måste sätta mig in i Kid A. Den ska ju vara ett mästerverk. Återigen påminns jag att det bara är en myt. Så nästa gång jag kommer på tanken att man kanske borde kolla upp Kid A lite bättre gäller det att läsa igenom vad jag skriver här så sparar jag en timme som kan brukas till något mer meningsfullt. Vore det inte tidigare nämnda Everythin in its place och The national anthem hade ettan vara skriven i sten. Nu klarar de en tvåa med ett nödrop.

is not good

Expectation: -> Really looking forward to giving Radiohead a listen in 2026. After listening: -> This is not for me. Pretty sure this album was well received. Sometimes creativity and an attempt to do something different gets in the way of making good appelaing music. Track ranking: Idioteque Treefingers Optimistic Disappear Anthem Limbo Soundtrack Kid A Bell Everything Untitled

super disappointed in this one. 1 star bonus for being 90s

Unnecessarily ethereal

I just don't like Radiohead that much. They have one thing they do well and its too depressing for me. No thanks.

3/10

Interesting, but I don't think I understood the goal with this one

2,5/5 Bester Song: How to disappear completely Der Rest ist mir zu experimentell Interessantes Album aber für mich nix zum nochmal hören dabei

There were Muppets that only said, "Yip yip yip uh huh uh huh." This is their favorite album.

are we going to discuss how "the national anthem" was nearly free jazz

Radiohead have made more difficult albums than enchanting ones. This is the one where it started going wrong.

очень странно и нудно если не фанатеть от радиохедов, то я не могу такое слушать

6/10 sonido espacial, raro, distorsivo

Could not finish it. I was expecting something different based on the songs that I know from the band. Too experimental for my liking.

Oh no, another Radiohead album. They're very hit and miss for me, unfortunately mostly miss. We'll see what this brings. Apparently I like the idea of Radiohead more than I like the music of Radiohead. "Optimistic" is okay enough, Yorke's voice works best in "Idiotique" and "Morning Bell".

Kinda weird - it wasn't hard to listen to but you could tell they were experimenting with different musical styles and electronic.

Boring music for the film bros of music Fav song: Everything in its right place, How to disappear completely

I could see why this would be a good listen, based on the different things happening with instruments and vocals... lots of storytelling and building emotion in each. I happened to be seeking more soothing, calming music on the day that I listened to this. It was stressing me out a bit. Maybe I'm just not a rock fan.

Overall, this album is not for me. I’m glad it exists for the people with whom it resonates, but I personally found it boring and flat. Even with how polyphonic each song is, I was unable to find depth lyrically or tonally. The recurring theme of…silence? Space-sounds?….just came off to me as noise. I did like The National Anthem and How to Disappear Completely. They felt more cohesive to me and purposeful. In general, this album feels to me like adolescent rock. Not a bad thing, just not for me.

I can't get on the Radiohead train. Why force myself. Sometimes I'm conflicted because I LOVE one lonely song, "Everything in it's Right Place," but towards the end of the album I'm asking myself...when is it going to stop?

First song is an all time classic banger. Rest of the album is just a collection of grating noises

I’ve seen this hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time. It’s not great in my honest opinion - but there is an appeal if you like a bit of avant-garde in the 2000s. It’s a 2 out of 5 from me.

I'm a Kid A veteran, and I'm still not getting it. I played it on release, returned to it a few years later to see if I'd missed anything and here we are again. Like any album viewed as experimental, there are hits and misses. Motion Picture Soundtrack has a sad beauty and Optimistic harks back to the earlier, rockier Radiohead albums. The rest of it is pretty quiet, a bit repetitive in places, and doesn't have the impact of the 2 albums that preceded it. I might listen again in a few years time and see if something clicks, but I doubt it. It's OK, a high 2 stars, but some of it remains mundane.

I remember in college giving Radiohead a try and wondering what the fuss was about… 20 years later it’s still not for me

I never liked Radiohead, and now I remember why.

Not great but not terrible. Sort of droning and dirge-like.

This should come as no surprise to me at this point, but man do I not have a taste for Radiohead. It seems to me like I could draw a comparison here, that this is Radiohead's White Album. They were successful and wanted to branch out and do whatever they want, and they threw it on the album. But ultimately, aside from some interesting instrumental stuff (as usual), I cannot line up with the vocals at all. It's reaching the point where I'm actually dreading seeing yet another Radiohead album on this list, which is unfortunate because I've clearly missed the boat on something. Highlight: How to Disappear Completely Lowlight: The National Anthem Surprise Hit: Idioteque

More experimental than some of their albums, but equally as dreary. I just can’t get on board with Radiohead - it’s such miserable, soul destroying music.

ok?

Would be better on shrooms, not really my vibe otherwise

Not my Choice

Radiohead has to be one of the most overrated bands of all fucking time. Having this on the list actually makes me pissed off. It's not terrible, but through robot voices, Thom Yorke's wailing and random-ass drum beats, this album belongs nowhere on this list. It even says in the description that the lyrics are nonsense. When Rolling Stone rated it the #1 album of the 2000's in 2010, I wanted to throw the magazine at a wall. If Radiohead hadn't already been a huge band, this album would've flopped massively and would've been an underground cult hit.

3/10. Favorite track: Optimistic I can obviously feel the quality however the pure instrumentals aren't my taste and this album is like 80% pure instrumentals.

Dont quite know yet what to make of it

Still tenuously clinging to listenability. In spots, at least. ,

Puede ser musicalmente bueno, pero me aburrió ene

disjointed and annoying

Got off to a good start with everything in its right place, and but starts getting ambient before it's built a solid enough foundation. The only other song I particularly like on the album is Idioteque. Everything else was too melancholy to enjoy. Another attempt at liking Radiohead thwarted by the way their music sounds.

wish i liked it

This wasn't great. Sometimes these songs really felt like they didn't go anywhere. This definitely was not my favorite. I would be wishing for something to happen. They also are a little too...electronic for me at times. Liked Songs: "Kid A" , "The National Anthem" , "Optimistic" , "In Limbo" , "Idioteque" , "Morning Bell"

Not bad! Can't say this one was for me.

Wtf is this shit

Not as bad as expected.

Radiohead are the most depressing thing ever since death was invented

2/5 Found it dull, maybe ok for doing the ironing in the background. Ironically the only track tha I enjoyed was Optimistic

Don’t get the hype at all. But a couple of decent ones.

Ok

not a huge radiohead fan.. very chaotic, very experimental. i think radiohead is one of those bands that try to be deep and philosophical but they just end up with very forgettable songs with poor lyrics. i dont know why but i just cant get into any radiohead song and i dont know why that happens. 4-5 songs deep i forgot to pay attention to the album and last thing i remember i was at the end. the first track is good but i dont remember the rest.

Electronic beats (some of them admittedly great). Whiny vocals. Large parts are incomprehensible and tough to listen to, which is probably why critics loved it.

I know this is supposed to be a great album, but feels way too artsy. I was so bored. Probably least favorite Radiohead album.

Radiohead's prog rock album. Whoopie. I need to go live in England for six months or so just to figure out what the hell they see in Radiohead/Eno/King Crimson and the 52 other effective-duplicate acts on this list. How about an artist who can play guitar? Or maybe one that uses actual drums? You know, musicians. That play instruments. Just sayin'. Influence - you know what, nope. I don't care enough anymore. This is (yet another) 2*.

like a 2 outta 5 shits ass

Might as well be white noise.

meh these guys are boring

Not really a fan, and I'm not sure why. I just found the album boring, noisy, and irksome.

Interesting music but I didn't much care for it.

cool sound, but otherwise boring

Huh?

Not really a Radiohead fan.

I don't know why this didn't click: really thought it would.

There are a couple of gems in here, for sure, but I find a lot of the tunes on this album annoying to be honest. Still, was fun to revisit it again!

I can appreciate the interesting synth melodies and vocals but there was personally only a few tracks that stood out to me that I really enjoyed

it’s really unfortunate because i love radiohead but my god i really don’t like this album. some of it is downright uncomfortable with the electronic production, and some of it is just blah. i do still like “how to disappear completely” and “motion picture soundtrack” but that’s really it.

Not a big Radiohead fan, but it’s interesting

jeg synes egentlig ikke det var noe for meg. jeg synes det var ganske slitsomt å høre på, og fikk ikke til å høre gjennom hele i løpet av dagen. jeg likte litt "how to disapear compleatly". men resten av det jeg hørte ble mas

Not my thing lol

Idk I don’t think this is my type of music I didn’t quite enjoy listening to it

Optimistic is probably the album highlight, a little bit repetitive but i'd rate it pretty good really not a fan of national anthem, even more repetitve Idioteque sounds like your coworker with headphones on who thinks they're singing in tune with their music but nobody else can hear it. It does slightly do the thing i like in albums where a song blends into the start of the next, but it doesnt feel like pink flloyd or anything where it transfers, it feels more like a dj is just fading one down and the next up. I'm not getting a massively cohesive progression through the album, or story or anything that I have come to expect from this era of rock. What this means for my listening habits is its really hard to just chuck a highlight track into a playlist because then it starts with the resolution of the previous track, and ends with the start of the next which will then just get cut off by shuffle. I'm giving it a 2, its probably actually a 3.5ish but I'm lowballing it because I had higher expectations

I listened to this during a dreadful snowstorm, real feel -17°C, while sauntering through a cemetery. The album was the dreariest thing in the arsenal.

I didn't like it, it was a bit too experimental for my music taste. Most of the songs were listenable, but not enjoyable. So, I didn't add it to my Library, and I stoppped listening to it a the song In Limbo.

Although there seems to be several points were the album sounds peaceful and melodious unfortunately it does not last long before it screeches back into static noise. Nope not pleasurable to my eardrums.

Not even mid, this is depressing.

I was lowkey bored the whole time but the lack of lyrics is cool ig?

i’m not emo enough for this

did not enjoy it.

Not my favourite Radiohead album. Interested to see which other RH albums made the list. It’s coherently its own thing, which I respect. Listened on my phone speaker - perhaps unfair. Given that I’m not expecting any of these albums to be objectively terrible, I’m going to use a pretty harsh rating system. This gets a 2 - I wouldn’t mind if I don’t hear it again!

I see why people like thos, but no songs stood out to me.

i only liked one song and that was "how to disappear completely."

Radiohead is simply just not for me. I like a couple of their tracks, but overall it's just not my sound.

not enough singing

To be honest, I couldn't understand it

I know I'm in the minority, but I very much disliked this album

Nothing special, nothing awful. Maybe makes for good background music for lounging. Only song I actually quite enjoyed was “ everything in its right place “

not my jam at all

Eh boring. Feel like I’m forcing myself to like it. I can see this album being ahead of its time when originally released. Opening track was great but then the whole thing plateaus.

When Radiohead went bad ..

I have to be honest I didn’t love this one. It felt like a lot of dread and sadness. Which is maybe the point. I’m not huge into interpretive music but I can appreciate that this is meaningful and big for others. Probs not for me

I only listened to a few songs, it wasn’t my vibe, but i do feel the artistry.

It's not on here

It gets an extra star for getting me back off to sleep yesterday morning.

Love the earlier albums but this one is where I draw the line. Too much experimentation too much weird noises.

It a radio head album and not as good as the last one I reviewed so listen to the other one

2,1 - Irgendwie zünden Radiohead bei mir nicht. Ich kriege eher ein unruhiges Gefühl beim Hören, was ich nicht möchte. Highlights: Everything in Its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely

Went into the album only really knowing (and loving) Everything in its Right Place so I had high expectations. I was very much let down, there were some pretty good songs but there was far too much annoying noisy headache inducing beeping bullshit. By the end the whining of his voice was also annoying me, had to go back and listening to Everything in its Right Place again to not rate this any lower. Favourite song: Everything in its Right Place Least: Idioteque

2.0 - Weak

Nothing music. Musically boring. Lyrics that never grabbed me. Forgot I was actively listening to it twice.

Stuck in two miles of bottled up traffic, I finally was passing the car being pulled out of a snowbank. Wondering what might have caused the accident, my eyed locked with the clearly frustrated driver, and mine asked, “Kid A?” His replied, “It was just so boring.” And I nodded because I knew.

More bored, pretentious, mumbley crap. 2.5*

Other Radiohead albums have been ok but this one seemed more experimental maybe and I didn’t like it as much.

It was ok, not your typical Radiohead album. It was too different from what they used to do. A little too different for my liking.

I know lots of folks love Radiohead … I just couldn’t get into this album. Lord knows I tried

I remember thinking I did not understand the hype when this album was released. Still don’t understand it.

Really love the first Radiohead albums, but here it is getting to weird for me. Trying to find some kind of musical backbone throughout the album, but not finding it. A disappointment actually.

Interestingly experimental, but not really my style.

Well, I wasn’t a Radiohead fan before listening to this and I sure as hell am not one after listening to it either.

Just not a fan…ponderous

I will confess right off the bat: I’ve never gone deeper than the hits with Radiohead. This is my first full listen, start to finish, of any Radiohead album, and I suspect that Kid A is probably the wrong one to start with. All that said: I thought this album was pretty bad. A lot of this sounded like the bad electronica artists that I continually give bad scores to, only this time it’s accompanied by Thom Yorke’s droning vocals; a double-whammy of terrible. I understand that Radiohead are artists in every sense of the word, continually changing their sound, but when the sound is bad I have to call it like it is. This is experimental noise that I have little interest in. I mildly enjoyed ‘National Anthem’ and ‘How to Disappear Completely’, so it’s gonna be a low 2/5 for me. Don’t hate me.

Didn’t like it. Could have been I wasn’t in the right mood or something.

no

idk man, whiny, moany, meh got bored

Not my favourite Radiohead album. Not by a long shot. I’m not even really sure I liked this album. It’s very forgettable.

I don't get it.

It's fine, I have no issues with it, almost akin to more background noise than anything for me, though.

I wasn’t big on this one :(

Was excited to revisit this one and see how I felt, but unfortunately it was pretty much exactly how I remembered it. Not bad, but definitely not for me.

Too much ambient jazz repetition in most of the songs. After OK Computer they can do anything they want, but it doesn't suit my tastes.

I can't deal with music this earnest

2.5

Felt insulting somehow.

God I hate Radiohead.

Don’t really care for it

Kuuntelin taustalla enkä hirveästi keskittynyt. Sen verran kuitenkin osaan sanoa, että en nauttinutkaan. Alavireistä ja masentavaa.

Sounded a bit drab, however last few songs I turned up the volume and the bass line came through was a little funky

Great band. Mediocre album. Total failing of this list is that critics think the majority of every great band’s oeuvre needs to be on the list rather than the albums that are truly special.

Didn't really like

Just some mediocre electronic music from a group not known for this genre, which I suppose is the point but that doesn't make it good.

Tried many times to listen to Radiohead and I just don't think they are for me. I admire the innovation of Kid A and it reminds me of Sgt Peppers or The White Album in trying to push the envelope.

This ended up being perfect for a restless night. Listened through it in the early hours of the morning and it felt like I should have been high. Lotta synth, some sad lyrics, and overall it felt otherworldly and dull. Started it over and it put me to sleep - big yawns throughout the album. I probably won’t listen to this again.

Legit made me want to harm myself. Not kill myself, though, so can't give it 1 star.

A primeira música é legal. O resto parece mais um uivo gelado num pico de uma montanha, tipo a capa do álbum

Overrated

Zu ruhig/Ereignisarm für mich

point7.

Not my cup of tea. Swans who?

Boring and whiny. A couple of good tracks which saves it from a 1

Still boring

2/5

I thought I was going to like this. Alas... Wasn't as cool as a I thought it was going to be.

How anyone considers this their masterpiece when OK Computer is right there is beyond me. Everything in its Right Place (8/10) Kid A (5/10) The National Anthem (5/10) How to Disappear Completely (6/10) Treefingers (4/10) Optimistic (6/10) In Limbo (6/10) Idioteque (7/10) Morning Bell (6/10) Motion Picture Soundtrack (6/10) Untitled (N/A) 5.9/10

Blah

Ok, just ok I'm afraid

I have listened to this album a number of times already. Inconsistent quality plagues the album. Songs like The National Anthem, HTDC, and Motion Picture Soundtrack are some of my favorite songs of all time, but much of the rest of the album does nothing to draw me in or make me want to listen. 5/10

What am I missing for this album to rated so highly? It's filled with random technical sounds throughout the album and none of the tracks are very engaging.

Just not into radiohead

Most of Radiohead is too weird to be enjoyable. Maybe not so much wierd, but pretentious. But they occasionally put out a banger of a song like, "Creep", "Karma Police", and on this album "Idioteque" Which will make the playlist. The album as a whole though? ~ 2.4 stars. Honorable mentions; - How to Disappear Completely - Optimistic

I don't get Radiohead. Kid A is weird. Not the worst thing I've heard from this list so far. As weird as it is, it's seldom annoying. Decent background noise, I guess.

I’ve listened to this at least 10 times and I forget most of it immediately after. Not a bad thing I guess but nothing sticks, kind of like a sound bath. Thom yorke needs to eat his spinach

Vrij digitale muziek voor een rock band. Een combinatie waar ik best van houd. En zelfs de zeurende stem past hier best wel bij. Wel fijn dat die gedoseerd wordt gebruikt. Toch moet ik zeggen dat me niet veel doet. Op de één of andere manier weten bands die vanuit de digitale hoek meer rock invloeden zijn gaan gebruiken mij beter te pakken. Ik noem Hybrid maar weer eens met nummers als True to Form. Komt bij dat het ontzettend irritant is als je je eigen muziek opzettelijk verpest, wat Radiohead het meest extreem doet bij het volkslied. Dat laatste zorgt voor een punt aftrek en wederom de mening dat dit niet in deze lijst thuishoort.

Niet mijn favoriete album van Radiohead, maar het herbergt wel kwaliteit en ik herken toch nog enkele nummers omdat ik het wel ooit gedownload heb (en vrij snel weer gedeletet). Ik ben meer fan van de meer eenvoudige rock-georienteerde liedjes van de eerste twee albums, dan het moeilijk doen omdat het moeilijk kan gedoe van een album als dit. Blijkbaar wilde Thom Yorke geen melodie meer, maar alleen nog ritmes, lees ik op de wiki. Nou ja, misschien is hij daar in geslaagd. Maar ik wil wel graag melodie. Dit ligt voor mij niet lekker in het gehoor. Teveel geluidseffecten, electronica, muziekdoos, slaapliedjes, expres vals getoeter. How to Disappear Completely vind ik dan wel weer mooi, maar verder is dit niet aan mij besteed. 2 sterren, omdat ik het wel liever luister dan Joni.

Out of the 350+ albums on this list that I've listened to so far this one is by far the most pretentious. If this album were a person they would absolutely love the smell of their own farts.

Nah

more like mid a

2’5

There was a thing around this period where middle aged rockers started feeling obsolete and going on about electronic music. Then they made albums which showed they didn’t really know anything about electronic music. This is like most Radiohead stuff, it’s Ok to quite good until Thom’s tuneless whining comes in.

Noisy and not creative. Radiohead just doesn’t do it for me.

The mix of Digital with Smiling Thom's 'soulful' voice doesn't quote cut it for me. He doesn't half drone on.

Not my thing. Can't get into the sound.

I don’t get their popularity

Sometimes chaotic, sometimes jazzy, sometimes both simultaneously. Ethereal. After about the 5th song , they all sounded alike. There wasnt one that stood out. Nothing memorable here.

Die meischte lieder möched zwar e huere gutete Ufbau, es zied sech de aber scho rächt. Osserdem esch es mer de doch e chli sehr depressiv.

Great band but this album did not do anything for me.

Thought I would really like this one, but turns out I only know two Radiohead songs ('Creep' and 'Karma Police') and they are not on this album. 2/5

Interesting soundscapes, some solid beats... BUT... no decent songs. Not that an album cannot survive on ideas and experiments alone, but Kid A really isn't anywhere near as great as some would have you believe. It's ok, nothing more.

C'était : chiant.

Inte min stil

средней паршивости

I don't understand this band. I don't understand how other people understand this band. What aren't I getting?

Day421 - did the members of radiohead help make this list?

Album 701 of 1001 Radiohead - Kid A (2000) Rating : 2 / 5 Breaking with the popular view. This is supposedly one of the greatest albums ever made but it just didn't do it for me. Seems like something that would take multiple listens to get into but I can't see why anybody would want to listen to it for a 2nd time.

this guy sounds like a creep :SSS

highly mid

Lwk scary to listen to at 6am

not really my style. Not terrible but I would probably not listen to it again. Does not have any songs I would listen to on the regular

Decent mood music but a bit sleepy tbh

Als ik de volgens mij drie meest overrated albums zou moeten oplijsten, zou deze er zeker in staan, maar ja, ik zal het nog maar eens een kans geven. Na: Ja, nog steeds overrated. Is nog oké als achtergrondmuziek, maar niet m'n ding. 2.2

honestly not my favourite. the general vibe made me kind of uncomfortable, even if there was some songs in it i liked. i would want to revisit it later though.

Did not enjoy. 1 or 2 stars

This is better than the Bends but then he starts singing

Expected more. 3 stars waned to 2 as this album continued.

3/10
