Kid A

Vaya puto banger es Everything in it's right place Las dos siguientes canciones son ruido How to Dissapear Completely ta chula Luego la siguiente es white noise cojonudo para trabajar La verdad es que bastante decepcionante lol

I found it tedious. Avant-garde electronic music that didn't seem to really go anywhere. I guess some passages were haunting and ethereal - but they just kept going on and on.

Most pretentious album I've heard. One listenable song on the whole thing.

oh god not again honestly do not get why Radiohead are so beloved

Abysmal.

Radiohead dance on the graves of children

Absolutely not.

Not my thing

I don’t get it. I keep hearing about how Radiohead is supposed to be next-level, and all I hear is doctor lobby music.

Anytime I’ve told anyone I don’t like Radiohead, the response is “oh well Creep is like their worst song.” Radiohead is to music like the movie Radio is to cinema

Perhaps the worst Radiohead album I’ve heard so far. Dark and dreary.

Worse than Big Yahu

no lo punteo porq no lo escuché entero la verdad, no me gusta que no tenga casi nada de letra

Unlistenable. Just what in the hell.

Würde gerne keinen Stern vergeben😄

The song, Kid A, on this album is basically Minecraft music

Experimental, avant garde album. Not my favorite, can’t think of a situation where I would want to listen to it.

Uma bosta, muito arrastado e tbm ñ gosto de radiohead.

All the classic Radiohead shit I don't like is here. Thom Yorke sucks, there's often way too much going on, just not a pleasant listening experience. Sometimes the music sounds promising and within a couple minutes Thom whines or they just shove 10 pounds of music into a 5 pound bag and it's too much. Treefingers and Optimistic are probably the okayest songs. Not for me.

Not really my cup of tea. I liked some songs but I believe that this is only for a specific group of listeners

Im not quite sure how a group of people produced this and said "yep. This is it." Im also not quite sure how this album is viewed so favorably online. This was a hard listen and I cant say I will ever be back. Its not funneral sad its like "I want attention feel bad for me sad" Maybe radiohead isn't for me but whenever this is recommended to me I will instantly judge the tastes of the person that suggests it.

Depressing and boring I just can't . . .

awful.

Radiohead are fuuuuuuucking shit.

Radiohead are annoying to me. In theory I should like them but tbh their brand of angsty teenage music but for middle aged pretentious wankers leaves me cold. These tryhards have no passion, and Kid A has done little to convince me otherwise.

Please no more Radiohead. I tried. I really tried.

Radiohead sucks

Just obnoxiously dull and pretentious, the epitome of what music shouldn't be. Painfully uninteresting in every sense.

I didnt understand it and neither liked the sound so much

Radiohead music isn't for everyone, and it definitely isn't for me. What a load of noise and random sounds. 1/5

Not my tipe

More whiny as shit Radiohead.

I cannot listen to band full of pro zionist. WHAT HAPPEN IN GAZA IS GENOCIDE BY ISRAEL. FREE PALESINE!

I couldn't find anything enjoyable or redeemable about this album. I really only enjoy one song by this group, and it's not even on this album.

This album was not very interesting.

Self Indulgent Crap It’s like they were just trolling us for an album. I’ll have to give it another chance maybe. But not a fan at all.

When to listen: to zone out, potentially after smoking a lot. What I liked about this album is that it was short. Techno mumbo jumbo not my vibe.

Alarms and surprises (but not nice ones). Pretentious and close to unlistenable.

Not for me, shocker

It was like they listened to Pearl Jam's Vitalogy and said "Hold my beer". Just awful. Maybe one decent song I could stand hearing again but none I'd pursue

Agony, not a fan, will not listen again

Boring don't get the hype

It was boring as hell how is this something im supposed to listen too

Fuck radiohead

Horrible. I literally can't believe people enjoy this crap. This is a scorching hot take, I know, people are going to be big mad about this but, Muse was/is/and will always be the superior 00's experimental rock band. Argue with ya mom. And remember, they hated Jesus for the things he said as well.

I’ve always had a fairly high tolerance for pain. Fortune, I’d say. Dislocations, broken bones, muscle tears… just part of the gig of life, fairly predictable discomfort. Worst ever was a dying and infected tooth. Thanks to all the many addicts of our previous generations, my dentist’s best prescription relief was over-the-counter nonsense. 48 hours before extraction… 48 hours of feverish pain and misery. This album reminds me of those 2 days.

not my vibe

dnf

Listened to a few songs but bit weird not very musical

ужс

Nicht so mein Shit einfach...

Dire

This album ass bruh

Hated it

I don't really see what the hype is around this band.. Most of their stuff isn't this bad though.

zzz... Álbum pretensioso, banda superestimada. Não faço ideia do porquê deveria ouvir isso antes de morrer. 1/5 (na verdade é 0).

This is not my style at all but I do recognize a high level of artistry. Feels like a passion project, like Pet Sounds. I may have enjoyed it more if I did not know the band going into it.

Meh! Nice vocals and pretty LoFi sounds. Would not be inclined to listen to this ever again!

Music precision engineered for the most insufferable audiophile you know to sneer condescendingly that “you just don’t understand it”. Whiny, overproduced and overwrought nonsense that can only be compared to the sound of the world as experienced from deep inside Thom Yorke’s rectal cavity. We get it Thom, you’re sad that everyone thinks ‘Creep’ is your best song, but this isn’t convincing anyone otherwise. Destined to remain the soundtrack to every 16 year olds black and white poe-faced student film about how the world doesn’t understand him. I don’t know who Kid A is but I hope he’s never found alive.

Hankala ajatella miksi joku tekisi tällaisen levyn?

I’m very much in the camp that finds this whiney and irritating.

I don't care for Radiohead but I still gave the album a chance. Definitely was not for me.

Seriously, what am I missing about Radiohead? I can't understand how anyone listens to this...

One of the most annoying albums I have ever heard. Thom Yorke’s voice is so grating. All he does is whine and moan with his high pitched shriek. Ear shredding noise, incomprehensible, like a banshee who has stepped on a piece of Lego, but is too wrapped up in its own self wallowing misery to scream, so instead the banshee just wails and cries. It’s not just the vocalist (can we really call him a singer?) who grates. The music is tedious and boring. Nothing here is exciting at all, yet there is a sense that we are supposed to be in awe at this sequence of random noises. To quote Peter Griffin, “it insists upon itself”. Don’t just say you like it because NME or your hipster mates say you should. Be brave, stand up for yourself and admit that you think it’s rubbish. I’m not going to waste any more of my life ranting about Kid A. It’s self indulgent, pretentious shite.

Slow.and borrimg

There were a couple songs that had some “unusual noise” mixed in… the rest they just had the unusual noise and forgot about adding the songs…. This is just noise… will never listen to it again… if I’m in a room and it comes in.. I WILL walk out! 1 star (which is code for ZERO)

I HATE RADIOHEAD!!! Thom Yorke’s voice is just so whiny. Hopefully, this is the last one.

Not OK

Is ok

Very polarised views of this on here. Likely because their fans seemingly more than most like to shout just how important and inventive etc etc they are, which then puts everyone else’s back up. Personally don’t think it’s as revolutionary as people make it out to be, ( they changed THEIR sound not THE sound of music), others were doing electronic experimental for years and mixing in with other genres, and without that label what actually is here, an ok moody rock/electro soundscape if you like that. This list and what 4 albums so far by them, I’m just never going to like Radiohead so that’s it for me. Would probably say 2 Star for this one, it’s that turn of the millennium mood noise, everything is so isolating blah blah. But because of the fan base and the over hype, every farting noise is pure genius line, everything is their Magnum opus?? which isn’t possible. Out of boredom by the end and shear bloody mindedness on my part 1 Star.

Liked The bends but this was tedious

I just don't like Radiohead, there are like two ok songs here, the rest is just droning and nonsense. Saying that, the two ok songs are still droning and nonsense they just are put together in a more coherent way

Didn’t listen. Zionists!

I will never understand the appeal of this band and their droning, whiny, depressing music.

I believe Radiohead was one of the best bands of the 1990s. Their albums The Bends and OK Computer are, in my opinion, two of the greatest of that decade — with The Bends being my personal favorite. I see them as milestones in both the decade and in alternative rock. But when Kid A came out in 2000, I was left confused and disappointed. It felt like the band abandoned everything that made them great, replacing it with electronic bleeps and experimental sounds that didn’t resonate with me. Although some tracks, like Everything in Its Right Place, The National Anthem, and Optimistic, had some structure or echoes of the old Radiohead, most of the album felt aimless to me. I know many critics later praised Kid A as a masterpiece, even calling it the best album of the decade — but I just don’t get it. I respect the band's right to evolve, and I pride myself on having a wide and adventurous musical taste. Still, I find Kid A lacking in the qualities I value in music. In the end, I’m left with one question for the band: Why?

I hated this. It was a collection of noise and I stopped at song 4.

This is the third Radiohead album I've gotten and I will say the same thing as I did with the first two. They're talented but I don't like their music and this is borderline white noise

Ugh. Here we go again, another Radiohead album. I don't like Radiohead, and it's mostly because of Thom Yorke. In addition, they are regularly described as an "experimental rock band" but I feel they usually just leave out the "rock" part of that. I like plenty of experimental music, but being experimental doesn't mean you have to ignore the things that allow a listener to enjoy the music in its usual context. In the case of this album, there's some more "rock" things going on here, but still not quite enough for my enjoyment.

Overhyped. Some good songs, sure. Idioteque was really good until he started singing. Where's the instrumental version of the album?

- Foei, zo'n jingel-jangel op een maandag morgen. - 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM

Trash

Absolute Garbage

Didn't like the first song...uh oh, I have been told that it sets the tune for the rest of the album...Sooo depressing. If you need to wallow in your sorrows for a little bit, this one's for you. But please listen to something happy after. The only song that I liked was the untitled 52 second one.

Not for me. Discordant cacophony, mumbled lyrics and no sense of purpose. Experiments with synthesizers, but it's hard to know if they achieved their result because the hypothesis is unguessable.

Pretentious BS

Everything In It's Right Place made me feel disorientied and the lyrics were hard to understand/listen to. All the extra sounds felt strange and honestly retracted from the song, it feels like they just threw shit on a wall and tried to find what stuck. Kid A is the same thing but the lyrics are even less understandable(to the point where I need the lyrics tab to understand the song). The sounds get better as the song progresses but the lyrics make this a painful listen, no emotional value. The National Anthem has a nice background tempo but the random sounds actually make me laugh like what is this song. Again I couldn't understand a single lyric besides "It's Holding On". Again not quite sure what the message is here. How to Disappear Completely is terrible, the lyrics are grating in my opinion and constantly repeat with random goofy sounds playing in the background. I'm guessing the song is about dealing with loss? Or maybe dissociation? Regardless it was a painful listen that didn't evoke any emotion. Treefingers sounds like the PS Vita main menu sound if you were smoking peyote and not in a good way. I had to check to make sure the song wasn't looping it felt like elevator music. Optimisitc has a lot of lyrics but again I need to pull the lyrics tab to understand a single word he says, what's the point of the vocalist if he's drowned out this bad? I didn't even know the song was about self acceptance because I couldn't hear a word he said. Background rhythm and tempo are not too bad on this one actually, but it's not my style. In Limbo is basically Optimisitc but slightly clearer lyrics and more random sounds. I honestly have nothing to say about this I didn't even realize it played and had to relisten it's that forgettable. Idiotequete, while being random ass sounds has a very nice background rhythm and tempo, but it's ruined by a vocalist who doesn't do anything. The music is too loud to understand this guy so all he's doing is moaning into a mic. Morning Bell, this song is genuinely terrible. RUN AROUND... WALK WALK WALK like please say something... ANYTHING different. I'm glad I didn't understand this guy these lyrics make 0 sense. Motion Picture Soundtrack also makes 0 sense to me. At the very least I understand what he's saying but it's gibberish to me. The harp in the background is nice though. Overall, the album doesn't have a clear message in the slightest and triggers no emotions in me other then boredom. I'd rather watch paint dry for 47 minutes then listen to this.

This sucks, but I kinda get it's importance in Radiohead's career. 2/10

Still awful. Such a disappointment compared to what came before. Most of it is unlistenable.

I really don't like moody progressive rock.

Really really boring

Not a fan of this

What the hell did I just listen to? It sounded like a haunted fax machine slowly realizing its own mortality. I feel like I was being abducted by robots who communicate exclusively through dial-up tones and existential dread. If I could give no stars, I would. Two thumbs down for me.

So apparently, people dig this? All I hear is moaning behind some meh instrumentations.

Jedinica iz principa. // Bila bi dvica jer mi se jedna pjesma svidjela ali album je neviđeno smeće.

This is the third Radiohead album the algorithm has given me. I can hear that this is different from the other two, but is it so groundbreakingly different that they all need separate entries? I’ll admit I have a strong anti-Radiohead bias, but I can’t be alone in thinking this just isn’t good enough for all the praise.

Really not for me

This is the 171st album I’m rating. I don't like Radiohead. Adding to my Playlist - The National Anthem and Kid A. Not Adding to my Playlist - Everything in its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely, Treefingers, Optimitstic, In Limbo, Idioteque, Morning Bell, and Motion Picture Soundtrack. Everything in its Right Place - If Björk sung this it would probably be good. All in all I liked 2/10 songs. Radiohead isn't that good. Usually I agree with critics but Radiohead is the rare exception.

kid a dona terror (la cançó). menuda absoluta merda d'album lol màxim

Spændende. Jeg kender ingen af sangene og det er slet ikke min slags musik. Men jeg kan godt lide musik der leger med panorering!! Der er alt for meget instrumentalt. Det er pænt kedeligt Ikke for mig

Sucks

Terrible

This would hit so hard if I was an annoying middle schooler. Also I hated this. Hearing the cigs after sex version of Motion Picture Soundtrack first and then this was horrific. Respectfully, you're getting blocked. Best: Worst: Kid A Added to Liked Songs:

Apsolutno neslušljivo. Ne razumijem ljude koji ovo slušaju i nikad neću, strašno. 1/5, 1/10

Load of shite

Good lord why

Унылая, скучная хренотень, которую даже сложно назвать музыкой

insoportable

Self-indulgent nonsense. I worked at a record store when this came out, and I hated having to listen to it. Put it on today and yes, I still hate it.

I honestly don't get the hype around radiohead. Everyone seems to think they are the best thing since someone smacked two sticks together, but this is borderline unlistenable jebberish to me.

2/5

Auf jeden Fall sehr experimentell

Reminded me of an advanced, techno version of garageband. I did not enjoy or understand the music

I realize I risk being branded a philistine, but for the most part I can’t get into Radiohead. Most of what they do comes across to me as pretentious, weird and abstract for the sake of being weird and abstract. All in all, this album is painfully dull, largely just boring and monotonous. Normally I would probably give this 2/5, but I’m going with 1 star because it is so mind-bogglingly overrated.

Boring

This band is not as good as people make them out to be. The music on this album is either grindy or bland with no inbetween.

Out of respect for the friends I have who love Radiohead, I will not comment about this album.

Right out of the gate this is AWFUL! Bullshit kid's Casio keyboard tones with whiney androgynous vocals. There is minimal improvement as this progresses, but the vocals will 100% destroy my enjoyment of this every time. The jump from style to style is abrupt and jarring. It seems senseless, sometimes happening mid-song. The whole thing just feels SO pretentious, like Thom is under the impression he's writing another Abby Road. Probably doesn't need to be said, but he didn't.

Awful. Based on this album, I would only conclude Radiohead is terrible. Seriously though- how can this be the same band that came up with “The Bends”?

I don't get the fuss. This was not fun to listen to.

Scott Tennorman still must die, and Radiohead blows

4 songs in, its not memorable. Singing is quiet annoying, drums once in a while actually interesting. Songs seem chaotic and not well arranged.

This is abysmal

jsem velice neunešen...

This album is considered top 100 best by Apple Music. This album is a bunch of synth garbage. Radiohead had one decent song. It’s not on this album. How do people listen to this crap? How do you actually actively listen to this? How do you be present in this? It’s absolute trash. No stars if I could give it that. 1001 album worthy: Hell no - 21/37

people that like this have a septum piercing and think they have the hardest life in the world because mum found their cigarettes

What a boring album. Never liked Radiohead and I still wasn’t convinced after listening to it.

Nope. Still think it's complete shite. What's the modern equivalent of everyone buying an album to put in their CD collection to look cool in case friends came over, but never actually listen to the thing. Radiohead hate streaming. But probably love vinyl collectors too.

ugh... nooit geweten wat mensen goed vonden aan radiohead (behalve dan misschien 'creep')... zowat het muzikale equivalent van langzaam aan toezien hoe iemand met een roestig en bot mes je testikels verwijdert, zonder verdoving

I thought my HIFI system was broken. Forza Juve.

boring as fuck!

WTF

Pass

Auf jeden Fall sehr experimentell

I've tried to get into Radiohead and I like some of their music, but this record misses the mark by a wide margin for me.

Hated this 🫶🏻

That was a chore

They say dogs can smell fear. I think they can also smell pretentiousness. My dog got up and left the room partway through the second song of this album and didn’t come back in until the album was over. I would have liked to join her.

Not a Fan

Not really digging this, bit to slow for my liking. They drone on a bit, managed to make it to the end, but it’s one boring album.

I simply don’t understand the fascination

Langweiliges Gedudel!

Didn't enjoy. Very flat and lifeless.

I’ve never really got Radiohead and this didn’t help. Never really gets going. Sounds like a series of jam sessions that somehow got turned into an album. Poor.

Words fail me, this must be the moment Radiohead finally stuck their glockenspiel up their arse. Its weird ambient vibe made me angry, maybe that's what they wanted. Possibly the most overrated band in history. They peaked with Creep but somehow got enabled by their weird fans to churn out this twaddle for decades.

Nope.

NO chance. Radiohead awful

*Enter a slender dark-haired man with a neat goatee, wearing a suit and carrying a box with a large red button on the top* Him: "Good day, sir. I hear you consider yourself a bit of a 'music nerd'. Well, I have a proposition for you. If you hit this button, you will have to pay a dire price. Every music nerd's favorite band, Radiohead, will be erased from the very fabric of existence. Radiohead's music, with its diverse influences from electronic music, ambient music, krautrock, jazz and 20th-century classical music, will be gone! You will never again hear their songs featuring modular synthesisers, the ondes Martenot, brass and strings, processed guitar sounds, samples and loops, and impersonal and abstract lyrics sung by Thom Yorke. All music they ever created will be gone from the world and from everyone's memories. It will be as if Radiohead never existed, forever! Ha, ha ha. However, if you can live with this terrible cost, you will receive-" Me: *hits button* Him: ". . . dude, what the hell? You didn't even wait to hear what you would get?! Jesus, 'OK Computer' is gone now! That is like a top ten album for me. Why did you do that!? You were supposed to be eaten up by the terrible cost you would have to pay to receive my boon. That is messed up. A lot of very sad people really loved that band." Me: ". . ." Him: "I mean, I get being willing to pay the price, but you didn't even weigh it against the benefit. I was going to offer you something incredible, but think about what you just did. 'Kid A' is gone. Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and the Times ranked it the greatest album of the 2000s, and in 2020 Rolling Stone ranked it number 20 on its updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. 'Amneisiac', 'Hail to the Thief', 'In Rainbows', 'The King of Limbs', 'A Moon Shaped Pool', all gone! This is so-" Me: *hits button again*

# 251 : I dislike Radio head and can't understand why people do. Have the people that rate something 5 stars, actually listened/read/watched what they are rating?

Can't touch OK Computer. I liked this better when Richard D James did it.

sucks

Deeply, deliberately, unfriendly to listen to. Accordingly I didn't like it, although apparently a lot of people do. No thanks.

This listener was excited to get a Radiohead album; however, this "Kid A" quickly and utterly disappointed. Pretentious and amelodic, this experimental "rock" album is obscure and difficult to stomach.

Flaming turd

I fucking hate radiohead. This album only reminds me how much I hate radiohead.

Sopivan lyhyt, ihan kivaa atmosfääriä mutta… tylsä

So grumpy. One or two memorable songs but otherwise it's too dour. Only for die hard Radiohead fans.

I like music that sounds good, doesn't even sound

Their older stuff was way better. Sounds like the drugs affected him a lot in this album.

This is perhaps the most "Radiohead-y" album of theirs i've heard. Glad people like them for me is like a parody of music. Calling tracks "The national anthem" & "The Motion icture Soundtrack" when there's no anthem nature at all is I'm certain arty but does not make listenable music.

Not great. Very boring. Radiohead was never my cup of tea outside of “creep” but this just further solidified they are not the band for me!

This album made me want to shut it off but I endured it until the bitter end. Boring

Full of shit, I didn't even like a single song.

This was a shit album. I wanted to bash my head against the desk just to make it stop.

No thank you - too depressing, especially on a Friday morning

Awful. Just awful. There are only two songs on this entire album. The rest of the tracks are concepts or fragments or dead air. It’s not creative, they just put in no effort. I can’t believe the record company accepted this as a finished album. Sounds like some art school student didn’t do his music theory homework and just submitted what he had. If I could give this a negative score, I would. Worst album so far, and that’s saying alot considering some of the bullshit this list has subjected me to.

Annoying singing

Malo

Enough to send you down to the Rickety Stool and Rope shop.

Awful. I know people love this album but I just don’t get it. To each their own.

Probably need to be stoned to enjoy it. :/

Not for me thank you

The weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life. A mix salad made of leftovers.

If there were such a things as an alternative music spa, they would have this on repeat... I found it so boring.

Radiohead are the worst. Pretentious little public school twats.

I was never a fan of Radiohead, I guess I never did enough drugs to appreciate their unique sound. It’s like someone started at Pink Floyd, dropped a couple of hits of acid, washed down with some Jacks and then started to compose music. I thought maybe now older and more introspective I could appreciate it - but I was wrong. I could only manage about 75% of the way through before I had to stop listening, it was a struggle and an unrewarding one.

Definitely not my groove, only "liked" 2 or 3 songs

Listened to this on Monday Jan 15 AKA "Blue Monday", cheers. Although in fairness this album would still be shite on any day of the year, what happened to Radiohead after OK Computer??

Not my fav.

The first song was 4 min of what should have been a 20 second intro. The second song is also crap. I guess this is music, but I can't understand any lyrics and it sounds like something AI would create as a backing. If the rest of the album is like this, wow. Third song at least brought some horns in to make it interesting. But its still some sort of dreamy, wandering, unintelligible noise for the most part. Do people really like this? Fourth song. I looked up the title to make sure I was where I thought I was. Interestingly, this is the song that I would apply to the album so far. Could I make it disappear completely? Fifth song. More dreamy shizz to start. I thought they had guitars in Radiohead. Sixth song. Yes! Finally a song that I can enjoy. Best on the album so far. Seventh song. I think he's saying something about living in a fantasy. Which is really the theme of this crappy attempt at music. There might be a point to this that goes beyond my feeble attempt. I just like stuff that sounds good to me. And this does not. Eighth song. I'm clearly not a Radiohead fan, but I thought this was a band. I really think this is just the main dude and a bunch of computers. God I need this to end soon. This one is really noisy. Ninth song. There was a part in this song that sounded ok to my ears. The rest no. I think he fired his band. Tenth song. More dreamy nonsense. Again, I might not like Radiohead. Unless they got way, way better. And different. How is this particular album in the top 1000 albums that have ever been made? Eleventh song. Second best because it ended quickly. In summary, I will never, ever listen to this album again. It may also lead me to never, ever listen to Radiohead again. It may become catalogued as auto-skip. This was really, really terrible.

*National Anthem sounds like the very first day of band class in 5th grade when no one has any idea how to play their instruments yet and they're waiting for the instructor to show up so everyone's just playing random shit and it sounds like chaos. * treefingers is a really nice song but is out of place in the monstrosity of noise that this album is. there's no in between on this album, the song is either aggressively weird or just kinda meh. overall idk why anyone felt this was an album that NEEDED to be heard before i die. i hated it :)

I don't like that at all. It's pretty boring.

Not for me. Feels pretentious. I just don’t like this. It’s frustrating and unenjoyable.

Well this really sucks because Radiohead has now entered into my random plays on Spotify. Listen, I tried several albums, I've tried the random plays and I've even gone back and listened to the one song I thought I liked, Creep. Now I hate that that song too. The last 3 albums have been hurtful to my ears, but I did see Them Dirty Roses and OC/DC last week, so this terrible stuff has been offset with some music I enjoy very much. I'm done with Radiohead. I'm done with Bob Marley. I'm done with Neil Young. Now I need to learn how to keep all this off my Spotify account. Another thank you to Neil for pulling all his stuff so I don't have to worry about him. Back to this album. Not for me. Won't ever be for me. 1

Hate it

I genuinely don't understand the hype around this band, everything I've heard is bad or below average. There were not positives on this album for me except recognizing Frank Ocean sampled like 10 seconds of the intro of one song. One of the worst albums I've ever heard.

Did not like it at all

I'm only two songs in and these things suck bad. The song titled "kid a" just not pleasant at all. "National Anthem" The only thing going for this song is a good beat track. This song has no idea what it's doing. So many random little noises at the beginning. Then the lyrics kick in and do nothing for the song. Then for some reason brass instruments which do not work for me at all. Okay now we have a random sounds competing for your attention none of them coherent except to beat track behind it all that's pretty decent. I think I'm starting to see a theme and how inclusion in the "1001 albums" works. This one is important to help people understand just how terrible Radiohead is. "How to disappear completely". I'm not here. This is not happening. -yeah I'm in denial too. I can't believe this is real. Someone recorded this deliberately?! Optimistic- is an actual song you... could potentially like this song maybe. I am noting this at a point where the song isn't over. There's a late switch that sounds like it's different song... In limbo: another song where it sounds like the parts were recorded separately and then paste it together without regard to well the overall song. Idiotech- had to skip this one the noises were really grating on my eardrums. I bet you could take any random 8-year-old and have them make a music album and it would sound better than this. In fact rather than that have two random 8-year-olds make albums and then mix them together at random and it would sound better than this album. In retrospect national anthem being one of the three worst songs on this album still has the only positive redeeming feature of this album and that is a good beat track.

I have zero tolerance for Radiohead.

I really want to like RadioHead. I really do. And I keep trying. It’s mostly just noise and I really want to find the genius so many others do, but I guess it’s just not for me aside from a few songs.

Using discordant tones to build suspense is one thing. An entire album that sounds like an elephant sitting on a keyboard is another.

Not great. Good story but don’t enjoy the sound and all over the place.

Super trash I feel like the developer of this website only wanted it here

Depressingly melancholic vocals to overrated and uninteresting musical arrangements... I just don't get why people rate these guys.... but don't karma police after me for saying that.

Not my favorite. Did not really strike a chord with me, nothing memorable about it. Didn't feel the urge to like any of the songs while they were playing. Sounded very experimental.

Virkelig kedeligt - han jamrer for meget

Fuck, not another Radiohead album.... This is my third one (second one in a week). Thom has apparently decided for this album to just make spacey boop beep and zap noises with shit tons of reverb, and moan into a microphone (which he is so famous for doing), creating a terrible racket. I spent this whole record waiting for something to happen, waiting for any signs of life at all...nothing. Not a fucking thing happened in 47 minutes. The song Treefingers is literally just almost 4 minutes of reverb... Nothing else.... Overall, this album was complete garbage. Why the fuck does Radiohead get more than 1 fucking album on this list anyways? Just goes to show how skewed this generator is to British trash. Favourite songs: Optimistic... I guess... Least favourite songs: this whole shitty album 1/5

Not my style of music.

forgot it was on

In Apples top tracks there isn't a single track from kid A. Why? Because it's shit. 'everything' is ok

The Wizard of Oz had a yellow brick road, Dorothy, travelling buddies, and encouraging affirmations to sing so the journey was less painful ... Instead, Radiohead listeners WANT the pain. Exhibit A: their most popular track is “Creep” , which soars in beautifully articulated self disposing teen-like shame pain. A quick ‘taste’ is enough for most. So, this is exhibit B: An entire album about a protagonist suffering from severe anxiety and social isolation, unable to get the contact and joy they seek. A bit like that bit in Pilgrims Progress, where, weighed down by his Burden (his own filth and shame literally strapped to his back), the protagonist sinks into the Slough of Despond. If you want, this album can take you there. To that feeling. And it sounds so screeching and grating, others will close the door so you can be really alone with it. So don’t listen to this. Look for the metaphorical steps. Climb out. Seek help., Yes a purpose in life it to learn to adaptively LEAN IN to your own pain, and not always seek comfort, if you’re to grow. But sitting and listening to this is just depressing. So what is the attraction of Radiohead ? Why is this pain enjoyable? Does it feel deserved. Is the illusion that diving in you come out the bottom, stronger? On the other hand, researching the musically influences for this album led me to re-find some excellent ambient techno from last century (“we are the music makers”). So its not all bad. Why its hear? Because serious muso seem to like it. Is it art? Yes. Do I like it? No. Especially the voice. And the music. Rating 1.

Radiohead sucks and this album is terrible.

Usually a fan, but this seemed to experimental for me

Ufff no lo soporto (PSP)

muy indie para mi gusto

Pablo Honey is a good album. OK Computer is a good album. Never understood the love for Kid A.

Just sounded like weird soundtrack music

Blorps

hated it!

I loved all of their previous albums, but this is the one where they lost me. Give me songs, not soundscapes.

I remember not being interested in this album when it came...sat down and put on the first track "Everything in It's Right Place" and thought what was wrong with me? AND then, I listened to the rest of the album...I stand by my original sentiment. I love OK Computer, but this...nope.

Nearly fell asleep on the M25 listening to this

Terrible!

Personal preference. I have never liked Radiohead, so listening to any album again is an exercise in futility.

Definitely talented but not impressed by this album compared to the others

Weird album after sever good ROCK albums.

Couldn't even finish. The last 2 tracks will remain a welcome mystery.

Lots of dissonance that was in no way pleasing. This album is very cohesive. Cohesively bad.

Radiohead is so annoying

Nope

I listened to this album years ago and never got it, seemed like pretentious, 'look how deep we are' rubbish. I will try to keep an open mind this time. Everything In Its Right Place - ok song, wouldn't choose to listen to it casually though. (It was in Vanilla Sky which has a sick sound track) Kid A - I liked this until the last minute just became a mess of noise How To Dissapear Completely - nice song. Oblivion - Best song so far but still just unremarkable. Idioteque - This is the one from this album I liked. I'm probably less into it now then I used to be. I essentially just zoned out and stopped paying attention for the rest of the album. I still think it's boring and 'deep-sounding' for the sake of it.

Didn’t really like it, mostly random sounds on a beat with minimal lyrics

It's sort of a pity that I lack the ability to appreciate music of this sort. It's too "new"/"modern" to me.

Never again

Ouf, j’aimerais ça aimer Radio Head et faire mon frais. Mais non. On dirait un album rempli de 14e tounes d’un CD, tsé la toune qu’on écoute pas parce que c’est un instrumental de 7 minutes ou encore la chanson que le band se fait plaisir en sachant que ce sera pas commercial. Bref. Chouuuuuiiii

Seguramente es que no estoy capacitado para entender esta música. Incluso la canción que se titula optimismo, me da ganas de encerrarme en casa tras la ventana para ver cómo llueve y pensar en el asco que me da todo el mundo.

tres décu composition nulle pourtant il sont appréciés par plusieurs mais pas par moi

ANXIOGÈNE!!! Le genre d'ambiance qui me fait mal feeler instentanement! Un espèce de kaos organisé que je n'aime pas... Inutile de vous dire que je n'ai pas terminé l'exercice.

Honnêtement, j'ai trouvé le groupe surprenant et varié. Surprenant dans le sens que je m'attendais pas à ce que ce soit autant de la marde, mais varié dans leur façon de me faire détester leur album. Un moment donné je pensais que c'était les vocals identiques et interminables d'une chanson à l'autes, alors que plus tard c'était soudainement l'instrumental poche qui me fendait l'âme en deux après une grosse journée au bureau.

bored to tears. kinda liked idioteque.

I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said about this album; this album was massively influential to me in my teens and opened the door for more experimental music, which I followed the trails of left by from the people that made this album from interviews, articles, etc. Coming back to it today I still absolutely love it and I even have a really nice 4 vinyl pressing of it that sounds absolutely stunning that I only pull out once in a while in fear of wearing the grooves out and destroying that delicate and pristine sound. Radiohead are by no means the most experimental or thought provoking band out there, but their more experimental explorations are greatly and widely lauded by people you wouldn't even expect for a good reason. It's one thing to be successfully experimental and it's a whole other thing to be successfully experimental yet still accessible without diminishing the quality of the idea being manifested. My favorite track on here has always been In Limbo, and I wouldn't have a clue to explain why I love it so much. Every track on here a total slap and is the only Radiohead album I feel this way about. Mandatory listening.
