Reviews (page 7 of 16)
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 will never understand the appeal of this band and their droning, whiny, depressing music.
depressing, paranoid and anxious. kid a is existentialism in album form; music for when you wake up sour, ‘sucking a lemon’. an angsty meditation on digital/technological isolation. so beautifully textured and multifaceted, it defies any attempt to categorise it. the little word-focused analyser in me always struggles with radiohead’s disparate lyrics and frequent lack of cohesive song meaning, but the sonic experience of the album is so unbroken, fluid and pervasive, it’s one where i sort of just resign to the experience instead. love love love. 5/5
day 5: this one made me nervous since i have a love/hate relationship with kid a. while 16 year old me would thrive in the sad depressiveness of how to disappear, i struggle now to enjoy thom’s whiney vocals on many of radioheads more mellow songs. when i think radiohead i would rather hear at least 7 or 8 (offshoot included) other albums before this. traditional radiohead? ok computer or in rainbows. sad emo radiohead? a moon shaped pool. weird IDM radiohead? amnesiac, the smile’s wall of eyes or even thom’s solo albums. i saw him live last year, and the electronic songs he performed were by far the best experiences of the night, yet this album fails to grasp me the same way. still, i can’t deny that it is technically mesmerising. EIIRP is their best intro, motion picture soundtrack is jaw-droppingly written and sung, and idioteque! my god! one of the greatest songs ever made!!! as a whole experience though, it doesn’t quite captivate me. how unfortunate it is to be so compared to aphex twin and boards of canada in this era of their sound, who’s music TRUMP this album.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. If there’s one thing this project has given me, it’s a love and appreciation for Radiohead. True innovators but still listenable music that scratches all the itches in my brains. Kid A is not my favorite by them, but boy it is still incredible music.
At first I didnt like it but thats because i listened with the expectation of it sounding like OK Computer. when it didnt sound like alternative rock i was immediately turned off of it until i gave it a couple more tries where now i will give it a 4.
Bywa trochę chaotyczny, ale ten klimat, niesamowity niepokojący dźwięk i te kompozycje, które lepią się do skóry jak pot... Nie wiem, jak można tak cudownie tworzyć atmosferę. Kilka utworów zbyt męczących i dłużących się w nieskończoność psuje odbiór, ale i tak 6.5/10 równane w górę.
I can't deal with music this earnest
Ohne Worte… :)
In Limbo and Morning Bell are both just fine in my opinion. Treefingers is also alright but it overstays its welcome. The rest is absolutely phenomenal.
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 have a soft spot for radiohead.
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.
Some sublime tracks on this one. Just great.
Kid A is a masterpiece
Legendary album!
Genius at work
Very meh. I'm always surprised by how much people like Radiohead and assume I'm missing something, but this album isn't convincing.
Hm. It is a little bit pretentious, especially when you read about the making of it but I have to say I quite like it. Not quite a 5 but a sturdy 4.
I was prepared not to like this but I was pleasantly surprised. This is an album you must listen to with headphones.
I have this album. Last time I listened to this album I described it as weird and inaccessible. My expectations were probably too high because I think this is probably Radiohead's most important album. I was more ready this time. I think only the title track and The National Anthem are a little rough. I don't mind the more ambient tracks. My favourites are Everything in Its Right Place, Optimistic, In Limbo and Idioteque. Weird and inaccessible? Maybe, but not necessarily in a bad way.
Biased review since I lived through this record release back in 2000. It was a magical experience on first listen. Challenging and unexpected and awesome.
Great, though far from being my favorite from Radiohead.
A little slow in the beginning, but definitely picks up in the second half.
Yes 100 times yes this is so incredibly good especially for depressed people <3
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.
If it was cold and dark and wintery it might hit like it did the first time but
middle of the pack in terms of radiohead albums for me. still a 5 ayyy
2.5
Sometimes verging on the wrong side of grating, but simultaneously fascinating and even ethereal.
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?
When I initially rated this album, I gave it a three because I wanted to be different to the annoying music snobs that worship Radiohead, but relistening to this, I unfortunately like this album a heap.
The atmosphere is amazing.
alright
The Head of Radio. Pretty good stuff.
The best
I hated this. It was a collection of noise and I stopped at song 4.
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 really don't know what to say about Radiohead that hasn't been said a thousand times before. I love their music, it's so different and creative and thought provoking. Nothing is cheap with Radiohead, i still discover new things after years of listening.
What a beautiful and exotic listen. Each track is ethereal and spooky. The album follows a theme of unease and pure, unadulterated bliss at points. This rollercoaster creates a balanced but energetic listen as well. The instrumentation is ground-breaking and intriguing to pay attention to.
I was listening to this while I generated it so that's something uhh how to disappear completely is one of the best songs ever made idk optimistic is also an interesting song here cuz it feels a lot more like classic radiohead than the edm stuff here idioteque sounds like the music youtube plays before a premiere so I don't know why I love it as much as I do radiohead is just really good guys I don't know what to tell you
Spellbinding
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.
1. Everything In Its Right Place - 9 Classic track. Amazing intro and build into the lyrics which start very mellow and very slowly. They are a little too repetitive but the track is a slow builder of a song, almost like a house music track. Very enjoyable. 2. Kid A - 7 Vocally you can't understand it but that's intentionally part of the charm. Instrumentally the track is very moving, giving you a great sound and experience over the four almost five minutes. 3. The National Anthem - 6 The bass and drums are superb on this track. Absolutely fantastic sound from them, but the brass is so misplaced. It feels so random and unnecessary and it ruins the enjoyment of the parts of the song it's on. It also goes on for too long at the end. 4. How To Disappear Completely - 10 Another brilliantly building track but this time one that really highlights the best of the vocal range of Thom Yorke. Instrumentally it's a serenading track that takes you on a journey that you feel compelled to take. Superb piece. 5. Treefingers - 3 Ambient track that can put you to sleep. Not much more to say about it. 6. Optimistic - 11 Legendary track. Vocals are so amazing on this track but they give way to a superb intro, bridge, and outro that really elevate this track with some amazing guitar sounds. The best track off the album. 7. In Limbo - 8 Lyrics are a little repetitive but they sound great and while the track starts out really with too much sound instrumentally it eventually fades into a lovely melancholic track. Could really listen to this multiple times. 8. Idioteque - 7 Solid track. Vocally it's good. Not at great as the two songs preceeding it but still a solid track. Instrumentally it's not as strong either but it's still very enjoyable. Drums on it are awesome. 9. Morning Bell - 8 Solid melancholic track with wonderful vocals that lift you through the song. Just all around enjoyable. 10. Motion Picture Soundtrack - 8 Beautiful slow song. Not a huge fan of the harp on the track but overall builds really well into a wonderful crescendo of vocals that really drive home the lyrics and then fade out into just the harp. Superb. 11. Untitled - N/A Less than a minute and will not be rated. Average Rating: 7.70 Adjusted to 5-Point Scale: 3.85 Rounded Up: 4 Stars
4/5
Not sure what else there is to say about this album that hasn't already been said. It's one of the best albums of all time. Full stop.
Felt insulting somehow.
A mystery wrapped in a cold, bleak soundscape.
allora alcune canzoni spaccano, ma sembra di sentire rumore bianco e suoni futuristi. fuck marinetti
Would not buy.

LOOOOOOVE this album
Yep
🔁xAll Weekend
God I hate Radiohead.
Amnesiac is better.
Some nice soundscapes
Trist men smukt
I liked some of this, but it wasn’t my thing
Totally blew me away. I sort of feared that this album would be too 'ambient' as I'd heard from other people who had listened to this but now I've finally got around to hearing it I can truly say this surpassed all my expectations. A truly perfect album
OK Computer was the best album id ever heard when it was released 3 years before this. Then they released this as a follow up. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. Gone were the guitars and in came a wall of ambient sound. Nearly 30 years on my kids swear this is the best Radiohead album. Having re listened now it’s not, OK Computer is still king but this IS exceptional. Listened 3 times in a row and heard something different every time. Class. Can’t believe I’ve deprived myself for 25 years
Don’t really care for it
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
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.
This album is a 5 in the right mood and place but harder to connect with in a non immersion environment i.e. under fluorescent lights, staring at a computer with coworkers interrupting you.
Beeps and boops in all the right places
3- Stars (7/15)
Kuuntelin taustalla enkä hirveästi keskittynyt. Sen verran kuitenkin osaan sanoa, että en nauttinutkaan. Alavireistä ja masentavaa.
Думаю, для тих кому подобається така музика це один з найкращих альбомів,але для мене не дуже заходить, бо не поціновувач
Great album.
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.
Good timing - have been listening to this album a ton lately. One of the top 5 radiohead albums, and is really a dark, moody, and introspective piece of art. Definitely another 5 star album in the books.
YOOOOOO RADIOHEAD!!! Not my favourite of their albums but still pretty enjoyable.
Quite chill - Simon vibes Good post run cool down Track 1 good
No me acostumbro
wonderful
My favourite Radiohead album. Always loved the story of this apparently being made bad on purpose for them to get out of a record deal (has any band ever done thet legitimately?) because I’ve always thought it was brilliant. Moody and pushing far more into electronic synth soundscapes than their prior work, it’s aged wonderfully compared to my relisten of OK Computer for this list.
Mange gode sange
The only issue with this album is its tracking.I think it was just poorly put together.It's still just a normal four star radiohead record, and my 4th favorite in thier discography. Thank me later for this shuffled tracklist: A:Untitled National anthem How to dissappear completely Treefingers Optimistic In Limbo B:Everything in its right place Idioteque Motion Picture Soundtrack Morning Bell Kid A
Kid A+
incroyable
Sounded a bit drab, however last few songs I turned up the volume and the bass line came through was a little funky
A classic
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.
Better each listen. It is very icy and is depressing in an optimistic way. 4/5
Overhyped. Some good songs, sure. Idioteque was really good until he started singing. Where's the instrumental version of the album?
Difficult to put into words the feelings I have listening to this album. Some mixture of nostalgia, joy, sadness, fear.. I dont know. I get chills. I get goosebumps. Sometimes its really uncomfortable. Eerie. Like its all just a little bit too real. That Radiohead feeling. Sometimes there are waves of pleasure. Music as a drug. No other band could evoke so many different emotions over the course of 47 minutes in my opinion. The songs mean a lot to me but even if i'd never heard this album before I would know i was listening to something profound. I dont like to come across as pretentious or pompous but its hard not to use superlatives when describing this music. Its a legitimate masterpiece. Favourite track - Idioteque. 9.5/10
Radiohead dives into electronica on this LP which is probably why I still put OK, Computer ahead of it. Still a very layered and musical album with some great tracks that still feature in their live set. Everything In It's Right Place and Optimistic standout for me on this one.
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.
9/10 Would be 10/10 if it wasn't for that awful free jazz destroying the end of "The National Anthem."
2000s indie rock and electronica. Irritatingly chaotic and noisy in parts. But also stunning. Atmospheric tracks. An incredibly varied experience. Going from floaty to jarring. Music to disassociate to.
One of the most interesting left turns in the 2000s

5/5
Radiohead is always a winner
Learned to teach, drove around the DMV the summer of 2001, listened to this CD: saw the future. For me, it might be the perfect album.
I know this by heart. Masterpiece.
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.
I can see this being a divisive one for a lot of folks, but I don't care... I love it.
Duh
Didn't really like
It was a one note album. I was prepared to be dazzled. I was not.
cigarro despues del cigarro
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.
Radiohead cannot do wrong. Kid A is not an easy Album and that’s why it is so diverse, experimental and interesting. It is the first time that I’ve listened to it completely, and I just want to continue hearing it again , there are so many layers on each song. Absolutely recommended but be patient and explore with it.
AMAZING ALBUM. RADIOHEAD TOP 3 for me.
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
Some of Tom's best compositions here capturing a range of melancholic and devastating atmospheric melodies. This is an incredible influential experimental album that cemented Radiohead as an indie icon. This is the soundtrack to disassociation, I find myself lost in the instrumental and synth heavy tracks. This album to me captures the dichotomy of being alone, it can be a pleasant calm as with tree fingers but just as much it can be haunting; Tom's layered and reverberating lyrics reflect this.
This album was great. It was full of emotion, and was cool to hear a rock bands take on electronic instrumentation at a time when it was still a brand new concept.
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.
Trash
Radiohead has always been sick af. I heavily fuck with the jazz moment that is The National Album. Treefingers made me feel something I cannot describe. Coulda been perfect but wasn't.
This was pretty incredible. It was disjointed and felt really fractured at times but in a meaningful way. I got lost into listening to this one. I don't think I'd want to hear it often but anytime I do I know it will be with focus. Weirdly cool cover too.
Okay, on the track The National Anthem. My idea of replacing the vocals with a trumpet came true. I'm a genius. This has dynamic stereo mixing. Looking back on my reviews of Radiohead it looks like I appreciate them, but never really want to listen to them and that holds true for this one. A very well constructed album, stronger as a whole rather than it's individual parts. The final track is a perfect candidate for vocals replacement trumpet.
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.
Absolute Garbage
Epic album. Some really interesting ideas musically.
Nydelig plate som har tålt tidens tann.
Classic. Favorite track: In Limbo
Complex, unique, worth repeating. Several aspects of interpretation which gain even more bonus points. Plays on different timings & rhythms, offer another perspective even yet. Lyrics with topics of the senses, like taste, add a layer of poeticness. The true, raw vocals remain unique even if I personally feel they're a bit grainy.
Beautiful
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.
This is probably the worst Radiohead album that I'd still rate a 5.
I've heard that this album is often overrated by people who hadn't listened to the innovative and experimental electronic music that was coming out in the 90s and considered this album to be the first of its kind. This album isn't the first to combine electronic and progressive rock but it might be the best. This is one of those albums that make me feel like I'm floating but in typical radiohead fashion it's chilling and raw. I love the album cover, the deconstructed abstract and jagged mountains in the dark red background reminds me of a twisted version of the island of misfit toys. It's so imposing and threatening. It captures the essence of this album, it's a scary place and you feel the aura surround you as you enter. The electronic components throw you off and make the world feel artificial, like it's glitching out and collapsing around you. This world is scary eldritch horror but it's also brittle, susceptible to collapse and fragmentation. If this is the matrix and the terrifying soundscape were to shatter into shards and dust what would be left behind? Is the terror of this world preferable to the unknown that lays behind it? The Radiohead legacy is one of asking these kinds of complex unknowable questions.
This is a tough one and it's a perfect example of needing multiple listens. It's still a great album, and it has some of my favorite Radiohead songs on it (Everything In Its Right Place, Optimistic) but the whole thing is a really slow burn. I remember the first time I heard it I was really quite mad because it's such a huge departure from Ok Computer, the previous album. Over time I grew to really appreciate it for what it is though, and came to the somewhat obvious conclusion that it's still the same band, just moving on to new things, and if they had just made another rock album it might not have been nearly as good. There are very few traditional rock songs on here, especially considering when it came out. "The National Anthem" is close, but even that dissolves in to an cacophonous noise track by the end and "How To Disappear Completely" I think featured in some movie or a TV show and kind've went off from there. This isn't a rock album at all, and the whole band stretches what it means to be (at the time) an instrumental ensemble in pop/rock music throughout. There's a load of synthesized and wacky instruments in here; I remember reading about a theremin specifically and you can hear it in multiple places. As an album it goes all over the place but never in a jarring way. There are a lot of non-lyrical (and some lyrical, but largely abstract and sometimes to the point of absurdity) emotions throughout the whole thing. Uplifting, depressing, angry, content, thoughtful, etc. It's one thing Radiohead have constantly done well throughout their entire career and this album is no different. I love the simple soundscape closer track as a finisher to the album as it brings it all home with just a simple ethereal chord set and leaves you satisfied, weirdly preparing for the next album (Amnesiac) which would go even further in to experimental yet accessible music. This is like a 4.75, but I'll round up because I do still really like it.
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.
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.
Everything In Its Right Place
I hated Radiohead but it changed when I started composing music myself. Then I suddenly started digging Radiohead. Still, listening to it cautiously, one album at a time. Loved this album
I was always a Kid A kid over OK Computer. Every (actual) song is great. Lot of fillers on this album so I knock it down a star. 4/5
It is a good experimental Radiohead album with some nice songs, but it may be a bit too experimental for me. Even so, the songs I like I do like them very much
Has always been the only Radiohead album that I truly enjoy. This is such a cool, boundary-pushing record that managed to change the way we see rock/alternative music.
The album continues to be a great listen. Hearing it again brought memories back. Radiohead’s ability to bring in new sounds is what makes this a classic!
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.
I appreciate that this guys (primarily Thom) decided to do their own thing. Artistic presence is the most important thing and if you’re not feeling the rock shtick, try something else. Hell it’s 2000, the millennium of robots and hovercraft. Make an album that sounds like they’ve been here for decades! This is ambient, it’s also specific. I lean 3, but my appreciation for the craft elevates it. Now onto Amnesiac.
A more ethereal listen than most of their other work. Good if in a contemplative mood
Creo que Radiohead marcaron una dirección a finales del siglo XX que era coherente y y vanguardista. Probablemente ni ellos mismos fueron capaces de saber continuarla y sus discos se volvieron bastante insoportables. Kid A el más avanzado de esa trilogía de The bends, OK computer y Kid A. Está en el limite de muchas cosas, del rock, del ambient, de la electrónica... Es un equilibrio complicado que les sale en esta ocasión, pero creo que nunca más. Con todo, este disco es un diez por haber hecho diana y suponer claramente el cambio de siglo musical.
This is my favorite Radiohead album to date, and the only one that I really like. I love the arrangements, and the cool synth sounds. There's even trombones in one of the tracks?! Anyway, this is the first time that I kind of get why people like this band. I may even listen to it again.
Bekannt und sehr schön.
One of the best albums ever recorded. Truly groundbreaking music. As good today as it was when it was released nearly 25 years ago.
Legit made me want to harm myself. Not kill myself, though, so can't give it 1 star.
Pretentious BS
also incredible, but I think I liked the Hail to the Thief better. 4.5/5
Very nice
A primeira música é legal. O resto parece mais um uivo gelado num pico de uma montanha, tipo a capa do álbum
Heard of them, heard a couple of the songs before. I think I might listen again, I thought it was interesting. Kind of feels like you need to be in the mood for them a bit though - a bit doleful at times.
#678. Well, i mean, obviously. 5/5: as you'd expect
I like this album
Just had Amnesiac about a week ago. Seeing another Radiohead album pop up is a very welcome start to my day - especially this one. I'm all in.
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.
Overrated
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.
I listened to this a lot after Ok Computer bender. Still enjoy it as background, as I work.
Atmospheric, avant-garde rock music. Whole album is class.
Not as good as some of thee other recordings.
First up, Thom Yorke is a musical genius. However whilst there are flashes of genius, some of the tracks miss the mark. Tracks such as Optimistic & Everything in it's right place are worth the admission money alone
Incredible album. So good
Radiohead starts at Kid A, for me
I do love this album, but according to my rating system, only deserves a 4; there's a few songs there that don't quite do it for me
what the fuck was that
not really understand it. still, feel like modern.
Zu ruhig/Ereignisarm für mich
Masterpiece.
Ha! From Wiki: "Departing from their earlier sound, Radiohead incorporated influences from electronic music, krautrock, jazz and 20th-century classical music, with a wider range of instruments and effects. The singer, Thom Yorke, wrote impersonal and abstract lyrics, cutting up phrases and assembling them at random." Well let me tell you, those words held no fear for me - as a Bowie devotee, that all sounded splendid! Sure enough, I really enjoyed it. It might have got a tiny bit w*nky here and there, and I'm not sure I'd want to get stuck in the kitchen with Thom at a party. But Radiohead are cool, and know how to weave magic spells that draw you in, unlike some introspective bands where you feel like you're not at the party. I loved The Bends and OK Computer, and I loved this too. I doubt it would sound any good on a road trip, but listening in my headphones, it was just great.
This album is greater than the sum of its parts. I wouldn't put any individual song on my playlist, but as an album, it's something special. This genre of music isn't my personal cup of tea, but I understand why Radiohead gets the applause it does. I listened to this album 4 or 5 times before this review which is a testament to its replayability.
This sucks, but I kinda get it's importance in Radiohead's career. 2/10

This record really challenges song structure conventions. I’ve loved it from the first listen, and this was a great excuse to give it another listen.
point7.
The 90s is coming to an end. A whole millennium – our millennium, the Enlightenment millennium, the Beatles millennium, the TV soap millennium, the ecstasy millennium – is about to reach its climax. The late 90s’ made the most of its place at the end of history, proving that eschatology is to posterity what a rancid hangover is to midnight champagne. True to its historical moment, Kid A captures an appropriately apocalyptic atmosphere; the sound of every party ever held ending all at the same time. There’s spectral echoes throughout of the previous decade’s most ecstatic turns: Orbital (Idioteque is a grunged out “Born Slippy”) Portishead, Massive Attack, Aphex Twin. Goldfrapp’s Felt Mountain, released a month before Kid A, feels like it’s responding to the same impulses as Radiohead’s fin de sciècle record – though the former does it with a sort of recherche magnificence that Kid A couldn’t ever conceivably find the enthusiasm for. To call Radiohead gatecrashers at the end of the 90s feels unfairly rash, though. It isn’t that. It’s more that Kid A feels less “difficult second/fourth album” and more like difficulties beginning the second act. Other bands might have been broken long before “Everything in its right place” found its final, perfect form. Truly, the creative territory gained by the band here was evidently hard fought. There’s a feeling across their subsequent records that they learned the lesson that those who do not remember Kid A are doomed to repeat it. You don’t just hear Kid A in everything that follows from Radiohead, you know that what you’re hearing is a band recovering from the anxiety resultant of producing one of history’s most anxiety inducing records. I remember the end of the world. I remember ITV’s The Last Train, Channel Five’s The Tribe; ecological crisis sharing headlines with the millennium bug. Thinking about the end of days then did to my mood what being chased around in the dark by mum playing monsters had in years previous, only now the exhilaration was more melancholy. The end we’d imagined was a category error though. The millennium passed but failed to take many of us with it. Quiet years followed before we again hoped the Mayan calendar would do the trick. Then when that didn’t, instead we looked forward to being thrust into poverty by a circle of bastards who want us replaced by machines. Kid A still sounds great because we never stopped dreaming about our end. The day it stops, despair.
5 star
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
Still awful. Such a disappointment compared to what came before. Most of it is unlistenable.
Not my cup of tea. Swans who?
Boring and whiny. A couple of good tracks which saves it from a 1
Enjoyed it.
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.
A masterpiece that trades guitars for glitchy beats, haunting synths, and atmospheric textures without losing emotional depth. Its daring experimentation and otherworldly beauty reshaped me as a young adult. I learned of my grandmother’s passing while listening to this album, and this album helped get me through that time.
I really don't like moody progressive rock.
Really really boring
Still boring
1. what a great synth sound. great opening track 3. fun groove. horns? yes please 4. floaty, nice bass line. 6. great hook, great song first half of the album was very good, falls a little more flat on the second half. overall very enjoyable listen
2/5
я в восторге. внечеловеческий опыт
I don't know if I'd listen to this one from start to finish again (because it's just a tad too weird for me), but they did some cool stuff in here. Definitely an album of its time, complete with the beep boops you'd expect from the early Internet days. Standouts for me were The National Anthem, Motion Picture Soundtrack, and Idiotheque.
I think I still prefer Amnesiac, even though this is the 'better' album.
4.5 to 5.0 / 5.0 Listening to this as a 13 year old blew open some doors on how I thought about music. I didn't know songs could be this weird & artsy, yet I still found it all great somehow. My nostalgia is just mine alone, the novelty isn't as extreme now that I'm more versed in music history but here, I'm alive, everything all of the time.
I've never been more disappointed in my whole life
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.
Did not like this album one bit. It made me angry on the drive to work because it was so bad.
It was fine - creative. Is it one of the best albums of all time like many say? I wouldn't agree with that
any Radiohead record is legendary, this one as well. everything in the right place is one of the best song ever written. And album cover ? so great and unique
I thought I was going to like this. Alas... Wasn't as cool as a I thought it was going to be.
A sonic journey. Worthy of a 5, but isn’t my favoritr radiohead
Weird spacious vibes, always a win
This album changed everything for me. One of my all time favorites.
Radiohead is definitely a “controversial artists” for me. They’re really hit or miss. I like this album more than some of their others we’ve rated, but I still don’t love it like I feel I’m supposed to. A few stand out tracks for sure, others are still a bit too droning and whining for me.
While In Rainbows is my favorite Radiohead record, Kid A is definitely their most important album and a close second for me. It dramatically widened the aperture of my musical radar, sparking a life-long love of indie electronica. This is also one of those records I have to listen to front-to-back. The descending fender rhodes line that opens the album is still a transcendent listening experiencing, especially as it merges with Thom's voice samples and vocal performance.
I’d suggest it’s this album and the gamble it represented - the artistic u-turn at the peak of their commercial powers - that ultimately secured Radiohead’s enduring status as critical darlings and global megastars for the next quarter of a century and counting. But I didn’t properly discover the band until about 2005, so why do I like it so much? I think it’s something to do with atmosphere, and world-building; I find most Radiohead albums, but especially this one, feel like journeying through another, fully-realised dimension for 45 minutes. You get tracks as exquisitely twisted as The National Anthem and as hauntingly beautiful as HTDC back to back, but somehow they feel like perfectly natural steps through this paranoid parallel world - the sounds all seem to belong to the same realm, and not listening to the whole album in sequence feels strange. It probably meant more to me as an impressionable teen but I’m still very fond of it.
No estava malament, és a dir, a mi aquest rollo així més experimental no em va, però a nivell musical, si l’escoltes bé, hi ha coses xules
yeah uh radiohead was my favorite band of all time for the longest time and this was probably my top 3 album of theirs. it resonated with my teenage self a lot which probably tells you about what kinda loser i was in middle school. but who tf cares this was my shit and i made it my whole personality ok. i have radiohead to thank for being the gateway band into more experimental music. i wouldn't be the person i am today without them. with that said i just... can't with them anymore. it's heartbreaking. my younger self would've been devastated if she saw that her favorite radical band is now a bunch of fence-sitting bitch asses. i don't care that much for the most part really, but when it's a band that shaped me so much as a person including politically... yknow what i mean? it wouldn't hurt so much if it was just some random idiots. these guys were my world. when i was 14 i used to write my diary addressed to thom yorke man. yeah yeah holy parasocial whatever. the girls that get it get it. the music still sounds great to me now but the magic is just gone. free palestine
I think I like The Bends and am giving Radiohead too much credit for everything else. The title track is awful. They are close on some of these songs but this is a miss for me. This album sucks. Optimistic is good...it's like throwback Radiohead. There are diminishing returns on the weirdness. The back half is better than the first, but it's not that great. Motion Picture Soundtrack is better.
It’s alright.
Great band, great album
Yesterday I didn't wake up sucking on lemons. I did listen to this album a couple times though. I liked it but don't really understand what all the fuss was about. Nice sounding and atmospheric for the most part.
couple of good songs. a lot of weird stuff too
Potentially one of the biggest rug-pulls in music history. I still think the segue into Motion Picture Soundtrack is a little sharp, but … pretty faultless.
Another excellent Radiohead album (3rd so far). Superb band.
So apparently, people dig this? All I hear is moaning behind some meh instrumentations.
picture me, a rainy Monday morning and first day back after annual leave, concerned this will be too depressing: “never mind these first three songs are pretty chill, feels like playing Spore in 2008” how to disappear completely: “🙂🔪” probably actually a 4.5, but not enough to round up to a 5
"yesterday i woke up sucking a lemon" boy have i been there
On tää niitä Radioheadin parempia levyjä, mutta ei paras kummiskaan. Hyvin elektroninen, tunnelmaa luova ja maalaileva. Elektroniset kappaleet tuntuvat toimivan paremmin, ne mitkä yrittää olla enemmän rock ei niinkään. Kivasti kummiskin tuo monipuolisuutta, kuten Treefingers ambientti tyylilläänkin. Parhaat: Everything in Its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely, Idioteque, Motion Picture Soundtrack
Muito experimental, bom para ouvir enquanto se trabalha. Everything in its right place é um clássico e umas das músicas que mais oiço dos radiohead
Now I lowkey want to disappear completely… not my favorite Radiohead album but anything under 5 stars would be a lie
Classic Radiohead. But not their best. Solid 4.
I recall listening to this the first time, upon its release, and I was very disappointed. My views on it have mellowed slightly over the years, but not by much. I understand why they did this, but largely I find "Kid A" uninteresting. It's an album I have, but rarely listen to. When I do listen to it I find my attention waning. It's a cold, icy album. At times, it's the sonic equivalent of drifting in Space. It is a well produced and intimate album, so much so that it's as if they don't want you listening. It doesn't thrill like "OK Computer". Overall, a 3⭐ album. Would I listen to this album again? Yes, but the odd track and only every now and then. Would I buy this album? I did. 1. "Everything in Its Right Place" – 3 2. "Kid A" – 3 3. "The National Anthem" – 2 4. "How to Disappear Completely" – 4 5. "Treefingers" – 3 6. "Optimistic" – 3 7. "In Limbo" – 3 8. "Idioteque" – 3 9. "Morning Bell" – 3 10. "Motion Picture Soundtrack" – 3 11. "Untitled" - 3 Total - 33 Average - 3.00
Jedinica iz principa. // Bila bi dvica jer mi se jedna pjesma svidjela ali album je neviđeno smeće.
Kid A – Radiohead (2000) | Experimental Rock / Electronic / Art Rock | Avg: 8.0 | Favorite Song: “Everything In Its Right Place”* Kid A is one of those albums that doesn’t just challenge expectations—it redefines them. From a reviewer’s standpoint, this is Radiohead intentionally pulling away from OK Computer’s anthemic peaks and diving headfirst into atmosphere, alienation, and digital decay. “Everything In Its Right Place” is easily the most striking track here—paranoid, pulsating, and emotionally direct in a way that slices through the album’s icy veneer. There’s a surreal cohesion to this record, like a dream you’re not sure you enjoyed, but can’t stop thinking about. It’s not perfect—there are moments where the opacity starts to wear thin—but that’s kind of the point. Kid A isn’t built to please; it’s built to immerse. From the glitchy unease of “Everything in Its Right Place” to the drifting haze of “Motion Picture Soundtrack,” the album keeps you at arm’s length while still managing to pull you under. It’s bold, cold, and yet deeply human in its detachment. For what it’s aiming to do, it hits nearly every mark.
Could probably write a paragraph about every single song on this album but I won't. My personal favourite RH album, the ambience is incredible, it's bleak and cold, muted and embracing, subtle and discrete. It doesn't try to say anything because it doesn't need to, it just exists, never quite breaking into the release you'd expect from an album so tense. The sound is dynamic, the range of early electronic instruments, modular synthesis, orchestral passages, pedalboard playing and DAW riddled vocals keep the album interesting, and the reserve on certain songs versus the maximalism on others is masterfully executed. The basslines all over this album too, National Anthem obviously with its post-punk groove, but the wonderful wandering on How To Disappear, and the chorus climb on Optimistic are all fantastic. I love the lyrical content too, often repeated phrases in a collage style help keep with the albums cold and almost inhuman mood, however the refrain of "I'm not here, this isn't happening" from How To Disappear is probably one of my favourite lines ever. At times weirdly danceable, trance inducing, oppressive, depressive, this album strikes a tone and its one I personally love. Not gonna bother listing favourites bc I think every song on this album belongs here.
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
Bleak. Haunting. Unnerving. Depressing. Ambitious. It's not my absolute favourite Radiohead album but this is a necessary listen. Considering this was made in 2000, the subject of AI or at least, the hints of AI is on its way is very relevant today.
Whilst this album may have been spectacular at the point of release, it’s simply not as impactful now. There’s too much hear that I’ve since heard other bands do the same or better. There’s some fantastic highs but a lot of really middling lows.
An album greater than the sum of its parts. HTDC is the masterpiece; National Anthem is a brilliant fusion of genres; Idioteque; EIIRP; Morning Bell are good tracks in their own right. The audacity to release this album after The Bends and OK Computer is madness. Easy 5*.
One of the most compelling albums of the list, Radiohead are always a joy listening to.
More a fan of their earlier guitar lead work. This has some great songs on it though, and love the cover art.
Somewhere, some theory guy is out there explaining to his girlfriend, who didn't ask, how EIIRP is in a major key.
Any Radiohead record ranking is simply incorrect without Kid A in, at minimum, the top 3, and any conversation on the greatest left turns in musical history will be egregiously incomplete without Kid A’s immediate mention.
Very vibey and esoteric. Enjoyed it a lot. Especially the sax on National Anthem.
4.7
Blah
Got to be a 5 but almost too familiar on this listen? Not as replayable as IR or the Bends. Maybe I'm a guitar man at heart
This is my third favorite Radiohead album which should say something about my opinion of Radiohead.
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.
Maybe I'm starting to get Radiohead. There were 4 tracks here I actually liked, although the more ambient songs I didn't have much of an interest in though. I don't think I'll ever love them because of Thom Yorkes voice not being my thing, but I at least thought this was good. 4 Stars.
I will have to listen again when I’m in the mood for bummer music
Absolutely love this
The kind of nobhead shite I can get behind.
Ok, just ok I'm afraid
Really not for me
Classic album, must listen.
Classic Radiohead
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.
Everything in its right place
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
I’m not as enamoured as many on this. For me it’s a bit where Radiohead started to be a little too meandering.
I could go on and on about this. I have been finding new details folded into it’s rich mix of jazz, avant garde electronica and general cosmic wonders since it first came out (a whopping £16 from Woolies for me). Hitting play - ready for indie guitar rock like The Bends - and instead being hit with this beautifully textured alien classical / club music was the most sudden musical turning point of my life (probably loads of lives). Kid A opened the gates to the electronic underground while standing tall inside it.
pretty good
A strong 4 for me. I loved the start - Everything In Its Right Place had strong Massive Attack vibes (maybe it should be vice versa but I listened to Massive Attack before this album). Then there’s some real tonal shifts that come through later in the album, it’s got such creativity and melding of electronic and more typical rock vibes of that period. The one downer for me is I didn’t really vibe with the actual title track and on occasion I actually thought the electronic sounds were a bit OTT (maybe anathema to say but this is an honest first listen review). But there are some really enjoyable tracks on this and considering it’s such a divisive album I’m liking the fact that this is my first proper experience of them and enjoyed it so much. I think I’m just a miser with 5 ratings and suspecting with relistens I might be there. But this is a super 4.
I hear from fans etc that Radiohead were not always in sync with what they produced. They didnt like some of their own music. In my mind for this album it is so deep and paradoxical it can't have occured outside of a genuine creative bubble (I would assume and hope). "The National Anthem" had chemical brother vibes for me just more rock and atmospheric. Well just better! Its just builds and builds to a frantic end. Never graiting mind as the song takes you on a journey. This album is like a music jet wash. It blasts the clinkers from the edges left by lesser bands. It awakens the senses from its doom scrolling zombie land. Has the effect of an orchestra more so than a traditional band. His voice literally replacing the wind section its that stunning at times with its range. I dont know why but I get church vibes when I listen to their music. Like I am celebrating a wedding, then a death or whatever. Its got such visceral dimmension (I had to google the definition of visceral to ensure its what I meant :) ). After idioteque seemed to tail off slightly. Morning Bell almost feels like an exit from the dark into some form of light. Much softer tone and some kind of redemption / solice in what came before. Personally find it a little weaker as in idioteque the vocals are sublime off beat / tone noise and used to perfection but in the morning Bell / motion picture is seems slightly more "normal" and less captivating, though at times his high pitch hold is still epic. Didnt want to end with negatives but it just doesnt end as strong for me. An amazing album and like a fine wine needs some time to air. I need to come back to this. I find its alot to take in and I appreciate that as yet not a commited Radiohead fan so clearly still on a journey with them. Can't believe I never listened to this album in full. Its funny as I dont dislike their mainstream stuff in fact I think much of it was great but they didnt make me want to immerse in them for reasons I cannot explain.
Kid A marks the departure of Radiohead from their 90's grunge and alternative rock into a more avant-garde sound and from a great band into something truly special. It feels moody, complex, sometimes chaotic, often beautiful. It pulls on multiple musical influences from jazz in "The National Anthem" to electronica in "Idioteque" which are all held together by Radiohead's intricate rhythms and Thom Yorke's ethereal vocals cutting across the whole album. Despite it's diversity, it flows as a complete album. It's like Radiohead managed to create a perfect microcosm of my musical taste and I'm sure I'll be listening to it for many years to come.
kid a dona terror (la cançó). menuda absoluta merda d'album lol màxim
One of Radiohead’s best, easy 5 stars
It was nice.
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.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Radiohead never really did it for me, but this album, despite it's off-kilter and dissonant tones, sucked me in. Kind of like Radiohead meats Miles Davis circa Bitches Brew era. Other parts reminded me of Sigor Ros.
Radiohead is a tricky one for me because OK Computer is an all time favorite despite not actually knowing the full Radiohead discography very well. Everything else I listen to by them is just a random assortment of their songs I’ve heard over the years and added to my lineup without knowing which album they belong to. So coming into this I was excited to learn some more and really start identifying songs with specifics albums, aaaand it turns out I just really didn’t enjoy this and was ready for it to be over. I’m sure after a few more listens I’d find more to appreciate, but if felt more whiny and aimless than the Radiohead I love.
Just not into radiohead
Having grown up on metal and punk, I've never been a huge fan of electronic music. I didn't care for Radiohead in the early days either. Just thought they were a little too generic. OK Computer won me over though with its wall of guitar sounds, off kilter time changes, and beautiful production. An amazing record. So when I heard the next album was going to be more of an electronic affair, I was not optimistic about Kid A. But I bought the CD when it was released anyway and I'll be damned if it didn't turn out to possibly be my favorite Radiohead album. Honestly I think there is too much made of the electronic elements on this record. There is still plenty of live instrumentation here, which was confirmed when I saw them live at Red Rocks in 2001. I think Kid A is a perfect blend of Radiohead's earlier guitar oriented indie rock with the electronic experimentation they would lean more into later in their career. Kid A is a masterpiece and I'm really pleased to see it pop up after a lackluster week of album selections from this app. I was almost ready to throw in the towel on this challenge. 5/5 #127
My favorite of the Radioheads and just a favorite in general. It captures such a uniquely alien and beautiful sound that I never get tired of hearing
Fantastic, brilliant album, although personally ok computer hits harder.
Goated album, one of the best opening songs ever.
Tidenes beste album!
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.
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
I dunno what to say about this album that isn't already been said, but here it goes... In October 2000, 9 months into the new millennium, a band that became one of the biggest in the world changed their sound so drastically and out of nowhere, it someway somehow changed the sound of music forever. From being one of, if not, the first albums to be promoted using the Internet to the feeling of alienation and the fear of the digital age and the future it can and will bring being heard lyrically and instrumentally, the change in Radiohead's sound that was once seen as a mistake to few when it first came out, is now seen by the same few and many others as one of the greatest ideas and moments in music history. Oh to hear this album when it first released...
Menos las tres primeras canciones el resto si q me ha gustado. La intro del album buenisima. Me mola el contexto de porque se hizo el album pero tampoco creo que lo escuchara mucho por mi cuenta.
I already know this album is 5 stars, but I associate it with a really bad time in my life and actually can’t listen to it if I’m feeling even a little bit emotionally fragile.
So I don't love Kid A, but I like the album. I know of so many people who gush about it, how it was a masterful pivot from expectations and executed it fantastically. But I just don't vibe with it as much as I would like and I don't understand the intricacies in the theory that elevate it for others. I still like it, but I just don't love to listen to it
Off-putting vibes but in an intriguing and experimental way. Repetitive but felt like a sort of chant that drew me in. Cool production.
This is just noise, I really didn't like much of it
Classic
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
An extremely easy 5/5, along with much of their catalogue. I've come around to the view that this is probably only the *fourth* best Radiohead album (OK Computer, Amnesiac, In Rainbows) but at its very highest ("How to Disappear Completely"; "Idiotique") it is absolutely untouchable, IMHO.
Sucks
Perfect.
Good album, a little annoying at times. I'm definitely biased toward liking Radiohead, but it's still not a 5.
Doesn't need an introduction, Radiohead is always a 5 stars.
Usually like Radiohead but this one is definitely overrated
Radiohead heeft een vaagheidshoedje opgezet, want het zweeft allemaal behoorlijk het heelal in. Soms klinkt het wel aardig, maar vaak zwabbert het gewoon maar een eindje door zonder veel urgentie. 'How to disappear completely'? Nou, zo dus.
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.
Ahora entiendo el amor por este disco. Muy melancolico pero hermoso Nota: 4.2
5 out of 5
7 / 10 I love Radiohead but this is a little bit harder to listen then their other efforts Still enjoyable though
