Reviews (page 9 of 15)
Cool blending of sounds, I didn't know it but I do like the sounds some ambient, electronic, and live instruments.
not my favorite radiohead album, but undeniably spectactular. id go closer to a 4.5
Älykkölevy. Nerokasta mutta vaatii muutaman kuuntelun että pääsee sisään 4/5
Onhan tää tosi magee ja Optimistic on bändin parhaita biisejä. Ehkä vitosesta jättää liiallinen yrittämisen fiilis, mikä mulle tästä tulee. Ei sitten onnistu kietomaan samalla tavalla sisäänsä kuin OK Computer.
Much more chill than I expected! I really liked it!
Calm but somewhat anxious sound, can be a bit boring but is mostly enjoyable. Favorite tracks: Everything In It’s Right Place, Idioteque
I don't give this album enough spins: my Radiohead go-tos are In Rainbows and OK Computer. There might be a little too much variety here for consistent listens (some epic bangers, but also a little too much ambient music at the same time).
Loved everything but the title track oddly enough
- Kannte ich zwar schon, aber habe es wohl nie sehr aufmerksam gehört
Atmospheric. Each song as unique as the days of our lives.
Liked it
Great experience. The songs have consistency and feel like one big 47 minute project, the melodies and harmonies are amazing and it has some really good individual tracks as well. (82%)
I like this album, but probably only because I grew up with it. Really depressing at times.
I don’t know what I thought Radiohead was but this is much different from what I imagined.
Veel respect voor dit album en wat het betekend heeft voor muziek. Ik moet zeggen dat ik het meer heb leren waarderen door er nu nog eens, aandachtiger, naar te luisteren. Kan het echter geen 5 sterren geven omdat het zeker niet mijn favoriete radiohead album is en er toch 1 of 2 nummers zijn die ik liever skip. Vind het wel heel mooi hoe het eindigt met 'Untitled'. Het is wel zo'n album dat een beetje als een reis aanvoelt wanneer je het in zijn geheel naar luistert.
Een zeer “vol” album, niet iets dat je in de ochtend meteen luistert maar definitely een banger!
Great stuff
Everything In its right place and Optimistic are highlights for me. Not a huge radiohead fan so im ill informed but I'm pretty sure there are albums much better than this? Which makes me excited for those other because this is already phenomenal.
- More Radiohead for ya ;) - Not 100% sure how to react to this album its such a bold change in sound - Very minimal guitar makes the moments where it shines through very special - This is definitely one that requires more listens to get - Production is very good, very ambient listening
Not much to say about this one except for the fact I've been getting into Radiohead's music more over the last year, and I love this album
Like being hugged by the depression kitty from Big Mouth.
Not my favorite Radiohead, but this is still a great album. My favorite songs are definitely "Optimistic," "Morning Bell," and "Motion Picture Soundtrack." I totally understand why this is on the list. It's a fantastic album even if I prefer some of their others.
Crazy sound, the way they make random electronic sounds come together as music is unique. The addition of powerful bass give the whole thing more depth and Tom’s vocals are just artsy and beautiful. Must listen to this album while tripping.
I’m feeling quite low today so this fit perfectly. Love the cacophony vibes!
first track was greattttt
Such a great listen. Headphones material.
Have this album. Really like it.
I prefer ok computer and in rainbows but this is still great.
Definitely an improvement over the other Radiohead album I’ve gotten so far on this generator (hail to the thief), but not by a whole lot. I’d probably give this 3.5 stars if I could.
Grotesque to its limits. Feels like banging your head to a wall hard enough.
Comments: Kinda weird and not too Radiohead-y to begin. It definitely feels like I've been transported into the future for a lot of the tracks. Compared to some of the other Radiohead albums I listened to (Rainbows, OK Computer, Pablo Honey), I like this one the most from them. It sounds mostly experimental to me and I think it works. Some of the songs had really good bass to it. Lyrics are alright, meaningful to some. A weird distorted mess at times, but it goes with the vibe so I don't think it's a bad thing. Favorite Song: #6 Optimistic Recommend?: I think it's worth a listen even if you don't usually like Radiohead. It's a 3-4 star for me.
A cosy nostalgic blanket
Better than I remember, not really a one off listen to enjoy.
I believe this is Radiohead's best example of electronic-sound-forward songwriting. Their early albums will always reign supreme to me, as an alt-rock fan of the 90s, but Kid A was a not unwelcome departure from that old sound. It's not often that an electronic album can captivate me from beginning to end; this is one of them.
Better than I remembered, but still not on same level as In Rainbows, OK Computer, the Bends.
i have listened to this album previously, first time this has happened so far. how to disappear completely is outrageously amazing, optimistic is really good, rest is also good. outstanding album overall, do not understand any of its negative initial reception given the existence of how to disappear. though granted it took me many listens to hold an opinion so high of this album.
3.5/5
Radiohead's foray into ambient/electronic infused art rock is pulled off so well on this album. After hearing Aphex Twin through this list I now absolutely can appreciate the influence on this record on so many of the songs, which are simple and just experiment with atmosphere and texture. 8/10
Enjoyable to listen to, laid back alternative album
Quite like this album
Some absolutely beautiful songs
Cat: It’s gritty and weird and smart and emotional and I love it. I love how experimental it is without being “weird for the sake of weird”. It’s creative. Thom Yorke’s voice is eerie and beautiful.
Ranging from emotionally melancholy, dream-like, deep & immersive soundscapes to an energetic and chaotic flurry of soulful sound. Transportive and brilliant.
typisk radiohead
Definitely a Radiohead album I like less. Still, it has some great highs. Everything In Its Right Place, How To Disappear Completely and Optimistic I really love. 8 out of 10
Never boring, restless, thoughtful, clever. Kid A is a great album, especially after the smash that was ok computer. Opening and title tracks are magnificent. The rest is solid. Check punch bros cover of the opener. I feel this has settled into the place where it should be. 4 stars
Not sure about this after only one listen. I think this is a multi-listen album to truly get it. Interesting soundscapes on this. I am going to give this a 4 because I think it has potential after more listens.
One of those albums that still sounds a tiny bit futuristic despite being a couple decades old. Definitely a huge left turn in Radiohead’s career and rock as a whole. No 5th star due to Thom Yorke’s whiny vocals draining out the music.
4,5
It took me a few listens, but I did like this. Very different to anything else I’ve really listened to. Fav tracks: Everything In Its Right Place, Optimistic, Motion Picture Soundtrack
Best moment on the album is the midpoint of The National Anthem which then leads to all the instruments coming in on top of each other and soloing. It's definitely a grower and i'd find it hard to hum along to, but its brilliant. Not too long, good songs all throughout
Brings me back to my middle school days
For some reason I, a rock-nerd, never got much into Radiohead. The suggestion was therefore very welcome. I did enjoy this album and its many ideas with its different sounds. I listend to earlier Radiohead stuff after that. And I liked it! That Thom Yorke's vocals are often distorted helps because they often really put me off. I enjoyed the jazzy elements as well.
Own on Vinyl
Oon vissiin kuunnellu tän läpi aiemminkin, mutta nyt kuulosti paljon paremmalta.
I had a strange relationship with Radiohead. I had a taped copy of Pablo Honey which I listened to a few times and didn't think much of. Then I remember seeing High and Dry, a single released ahead of the album, on MTV and hating it. My mind at the time said this is overproduced try-hard rubbish. (By way of explanation I was mostly listening to Pavement) at the time. By the time OK Computer had come out, however, I'd gone to Uni and started listening to Pink Floyd. It was a perfect album to sell me at the time. So where did that leave Kid A? I never listened to it. At all. The fact it even got released passed me by. The next time I noticed Radiohead they'd suddenly become seemingly the biggest band in the world. And I never really regained Radiohead. OK Computer is still one of my favourite albums ever but I've spent almost zero time listening to anything after that. I'm assuming there'll be a lot of it on here, it's that kind of list. This album, listening to it now? It's very of it's time, isn't it? Maybe it felt like the future of music then. There's some tunes. Some of it sounds like the same band who made OK Computer. Much of the music seemed to be intentionally discarding anything which could be thought of as Alternative Rock or Indie Rock or whatever. I get that. Thom Yorke has the love/hate relationship with fame that so many great artists have. Scores? I've written more about this album than almost any other (although, I've really written about me). There's no doubting it's a great piece of work. There's no doubting I'll listen to it again. There's nothing in there which has impact on me to even consider giving it 5. It's almost a textbook 4 for my scoring.
Sometimes a little too experimental but the album had a lot of good songs.
I'm loving this so far. It feels like a fall day.
pretty epic
Fantastic album. Love it
Je me rends compte que je connais environ 15% de leurs chansons
Through this project, I've learned that I like Radiohead more than I thought I did. Best track: Idioteque
Atmospheric and interesting - like being at MoMA but through your ears. Maybe because I was working while listening to it but it is just ya know an album. I understand its significance but can't say I just absolutely loved it. I've always wanted to sit down and listen.... maybe I need to dedicate everything to intently listen. But casually this is just 4 stars (more like 3.5). Still a lot of interesting ideas.
Have already heard, maybe need a relisten but didn’t have time. It’s good and respectable, not my favorite Radiohead album. 3.5/5
After the amazing OK Computer, Radiohead decided to take things into new directions and experiment with a range of styles. As such, some experiments may have been more or less successful than others. This album does have a few low points that drag it down and were frankly hard to listen to such as The National Anthem (how fitting) and Idoteque. Most of the album, however, is very good.
I like about half of the songs on this album. Some of the electronic heavy tracks lose me. Radiohead is one of my favorite bands though so it wasn't unbearable
Favorite song: The National Anthem
Great peice of music, doesnt grab me as much as their other work.
I like this album, but there are some songs that I skip every time. This is especially true in the back half. But it’s still solid.
My only year at uni studying art history was brought to you by Kid A and Mr Sub
I feel like I need to give this one more time to really understand it. The hype around this album is very unreal and while I can see why for certain spots, there are definitely somethings on here that aren't fully clicking with me yet.
Not the best Radiohead but this one continues to grow on me.
1 mars 2023 Le matin Tu déjeuner, ta pris le bus Nice mood
Yes
“Noise.” - My girlfriend. I appreciate how this album focuses on atmosphere and feeling. It feels deliberately unfinished yet still maintains the polish I would expect from Radiohead. It gives me Clap Your Hands Say Yeah vibes.
Everything in it's right place en Idioteque vind ik fantastisch, maar de rest van de nummers op het album vind ik wat minder. Niet het beste Radiohead album. Tussen en 3 en een 4 in ergens.
Reading the Wikipedia page for "Kid A," 23 years after the album's release, is exciting because it's pretty clear how it is to be underground and how things have changed over these two decades. It influenced a lot of things in music, the music industry, and the different manners to deal with the increasing technology. I'm still not very into this electronic phase of the band, but it's impossible not to see how it was essential. On a side note: Is this list created to go along with Beatles and Radiohead discography intercalated with some other stuff, right? (I'm not complaining) :-P
Es un disco muy profundo, no me pude meter mucho en las letras, pero el solo sonido que hace la banda en este álbum suena algo profundo y a veces triste. Igualmente es un álbum con mucho poder y siento que es muy bueno, a pesar de a veces aburrirme un poco con las instrumentales, que no son malas, pero a veces es demasiado.
Sko, þetta er ekki leiðinlegt, en það eru liðin 23 ár og ég er ekki enn almennilega að tengja. Fyrir mér er þetta afturför og ekki meistaraverk. Að því sögðu þá eru National anthem, Optimistic og Morning Bell mjög flott, og rytmapælingar skemmtilegar.
It's Radiohead, it's great. I prefer Ok Computer and The Bends though.
Not as good as OK Computer, In Rainbows or Moon Shaped Pool - but still cracking.
This one is as hard to review as it is to describe. It moves from Eno-like warm ambience to moody, downtempo pop. About half is forgettable, but the other half is good enough to make it a commendable album.
I can't say anything here that hasn't been said better by other people before. This album is full of subtle sounds, incredibly atmospheric, it needs headphones and a couple dozens of listens to hear it all. It's a marvel if you give it the time
Good, not great Weird
Gut und chillig
good, would listen again
Dig this much more now than the first time i heard it in year 2000
I respect artists who try experimental work, even if they don’t always pan out. How To Disappear Completely is without a doubt in my mind the best song on the album. This may sound pretentious, but the song knows what it is. It is a song with a purpose while I feel others on the album are unfinished jam sessions. The general idea and concept, I believe, they have down, but the final product was a little too bare. Overall, though, it is a great album and I enjoyed listening, but it could have been better. 4/5
Great to run to
Very cool exploration in a different direction for Radiohead with a good deal more electronic music appearing on this album. Still great attention given to the peaks and valleys that make their performances so compelling.
not the greatest album ever but pretty good
it’s definitely a close your eyes, turn off the lights, and just lay down album so it probably didn’t help that i was doing work while listening but regardless i can appreciate what radiohead accomplished with this album. it’s not necessarily something i’ll be listening to every single day of my life for the rest of my life but i can see the appeal and the critical acclaim. my favorite songs off of it are: Everything In Its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely, Idioteque, Morning Bell, Motion Picture Soundtrack, and Untiled (because, although short, it made me open my eyes wide because it felt angelic istg)
Everything in Its Right Place: Som krydderhylla :)) Hva skjer med teksten "Yesterday, I woke up sucking a lemon"?? haha hva i alle dager betyr det?? Kid A: Dystre greier. "The rats and the children follow me out of town". Krigsflyktninger? The National Anthem: Dette må være en av mine favoritter etter HTDC. Høres ut som introen til en spionfilm i starten med en rå bass, men så kommer blåserekka halvveis og tar helt av. Dødsfetttt. Hører 5-6 lag som spiller helt ulikt? Kaos, men på en god måte. Denne havner fort på vaskemusikk-lista How to Disappear Completely: Frysninger. hver. gang. Treefingers: Yoga vibes? Optimistic: Ditt beste er godt nok! In Limbo: En vond drøm. "I'm lost at sea" - meg i sjøforsvaret Idioteque: Ikke helt min greie nei. Igjen er teksten preget av krig- "Women and children first". Mange ulike lag med perkusjon her. Eksperimentelt Morning Bell: Motion Picture Soundtrack: Veldig fin, nesten som en drøm.
Enjoyed the music. It was experimental without being too far out there. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I especially enjoyed How to Disappear Completely and Optimistic. I really disliked the song idioteque
Ah, the albums that Radiohead changed tack. Its an important album but I hardly listen to it so here goes. Its jarring at times but its a powerful experience that was later distilled into brilliance. It's the sound of a band shedding its skin. I'm glad that its wasn't a double as Amnesiac was all recorded at the same time as Kid A. 4
Great experemental album. Radiohead took a step to change their genre
Good, but in my opinion not as good as some of the other Radiohead albums I've heard. My fav tracks are Idioteque and the instrumental Treefingers.
I really have to be I the right frame of mind to listen to ANY Radiohead, let alone THIS record. Today, fortunately, I must have been in the right frame of mind and the album clicked. This is a rare occurrence so take the rating with that in mind.
This is a fantastic album. Radiohead is rightfully a modern legend in rock and electronic music. It is innovative and intense. Out of there most profound albums this one is my least favorite. Somber oversees the glitchy wavering Yorke vocals. It is a tight album and worthy of being at the top of Radioheads best of’s. I like how large and sweeping it is. I like that its unified in tone and color. I want it to rock more. I want it to go in to rainbows and be okay as a computer. It is a gorgeous album, lush and, simultaneously, sparse. Peep game bruv.
“Kid A” always feels like a chilly winter day to me, clear blue sky, bright sunlight, but almost no people out there in the frozen landscape.
I'm throwing out too many 5 stars ratings and this isn't my favourite Radiohead cover so it will receive a harsh 4. Hard to recreate the feeling of listening to this album anywhere else. Like a dystopian rave inside a large can.
Interesting album, the first few songs didn't buy me but then it got much better. Saved tracks: National Anthem, How To Disappear Completely, Optimistic, Idioteque, Untitled, Motion Picture Soundtrack
relaxing
Everything: elpiano är ju dunder, kul modus, toppenlåt! Kid A: bra trummor, väldigt 2000tal inte jättebra låt National anthem: bra ljudbild! Bra blås! Bra låt!! How to: Jättemycket ångestlåt! Jobbig att lyssna på, men bra! Treefingers:👍 Optimistic: bra början, tappar lite In limbo: lite mellanmjölk Idioteque:skitbra ju Morning Bell: lite intetsägande? MPS: sjukt att ett orgelljud kan vara så melankoliskt??
The transitional album from the band. Great but not perfect.
Very enjoyable
Cold and rainy run
An album I like but don’t love. I remember in the mid 2000s feeling like I should love this album and was listening to it on repeat. Eventually it sort of clicked for me and I understood what they were trying to do. But The Bends, OK Computer and In Rainbows are still my top Radiohead albums. If you have a PS5, that KIDAMNESIAC app which is basically a virtual art exhibit is essential.

lowkey very nice
An old familiar favourite
This is an “experience”, A for effort Kid A, I think this little guy is gonna be big! Love the range on this, soaring strings and horns to digital ding dongs to rip roarin rockin roller coaster [©️Universal Studios Orlando Resort] Favorite song is the one about the minion movie
How to Disappear Completely got me contemplating my life decisions, as always. Fave Tracks : Everything in its Right Place, Idioteque, Motion Picture Soundtrack
circa 1998: what’s better, The Bends or OK Computer? This is one way of settling a pointless argument.
Great when you're in the mood for it. Annoying when you're not.
This is an amazing album that somehow didn't speak to me the way OK Computer and The Bends did. National Anthem still cooks, though. SO many great songs.
A great start! Familiar with this album. Moody, sad all in all a win.
Good Radiohead album but definitely not my favorite. Would do 3.5 if I could
Every band has to find its sound, but not all bands' sounds are as unique as others'. For me, Radiohead has one of the greatest and most unique sounds out there, and this album demonstrates that. Even the not-so-exciting tracks are a cool listen.
got better as it went on. not used to random noise music but it was infinitely better than beck
great album
Heard previously. Mood music. I’ve definitely enjoyed over the years although it’s not a go-to listen.
I’ve already heard this from start to finish before when I was a teen. Good tunes.
Quite a solid album. I don't consider myself a Radiohead fan, but this album is great and comes jam-packed with amazing tracks such as "Idioteque", "Optimistic", "Everything In Its Right Place", and "Morning Bell"
Ethereal sounds. Unexpected and intriguing.
This is a really hard review for me to write. I might do it in three. Short Fuck 5 Honest Turned me off Radiohead for ages 3 Current I'm a gear guy. Headphones, amps etc are my thing. This album doesn't show you what your gear can do, it shows you what your gear is doing. It has as many layers as a vanilla slice. The contrabass wind, the epic mids and oh my that voice. I did drop and run from this for a decade or more, but I now hold it close. It matters not what I think, for Kid A is a eruption that will continue for longer than I will think about it. Thoroughly epic. 4
This is a cool album, darker, more urgent and more electronic than earlier Radiohead material. A good listen!
Radiohead started getting airplay at a point in time when I had a bit of a pop-culture hiccup as far as what new music I was being exposed too. It took me a long time to warm up to Radiohead. There are tracks that I don't like, and tracks that I like very much. Kid A successfully overcomes my reluctance to listen to the band. "Everything in Its Right Place" and "Idioteque" are the tracks that are closest to me marking for a re-listen, but the album as a whole does not have any tracks that turn me away from listening. I could come back to this album to hear what I've missed. Radiohead provides a combination of not-quite-rock / not-quite-indie / not-quite-electronic music that could be background or foreground music, depending on your preference for the moment. I'll probalby come back to this one.
4.5/5. Very enjoyable album. This is a cool, experimental mix of rock and electronica. It is interesting to see how the group got to this point, seeing how their previous albums were more rock than electronic.
Kid A's sound has decomposed and absorbed countless new perfumes, like a carcass in the forest. Radiohead move as close as possible to electronic music, but without endorsing it. (8/10) FT: Everything In Its Right Place, How To Disappear Completely
Boy there's a lot of Radiohead on this list. This one is a good middle ground between their more early pop/rock sound and their later more experimental music. 4 stars.
Cinematic, dark, experimental. A great listening experience.
A spooky, atmospheric album that flows so well you have to listen to it in one go really - A couple of tracks can be listened to in isolation but really you want to put it on and listen from start to finish. Not my favourite Radiohead, bit more low key, but definitely something to appreciate.
Honestly one of the stronger Radiohead albums we've had. Hard to say if it would be my favorite, but it's great. Love, love, love the opener, such a cool song (and featured in the movie The Accountant, perhaps an unofficial OCD anthem). Still not exactly sold on the idea of Radiohead as some saviors of music, but they're definitely a solid group with some great albums. That's enough for me. Favorite tracks: Everything in its Right Place, Kid A, Optimistic, How to Disappear Completely. Album art: I've seen this one probably the most, it's kind of the signature Radiohead album cover. A paper mountain range? Not sure, but it's iconic. 4.5/5
Frequently beautiful, but just too bleak and anaemic for me.
Zie mezelf nog in de keuken van mijn ouderlijk huis staan toen dit uitkwam en gelijk integraal op de radio werd gedraaid. Vond 't maar raar met die zenuwachtige bas van 'The National Anthem', maar het werd steeds beter en is nu nog steeds geweldig!
Erg fijn album!
Very good
Previously not knew of my favourite Radiohead albums but on revisiting I have come to love the ambient interludes. The whole thing works perfectly as a tonal piece. Lovely
Being unfamiliar with most of Radiohead’s work, this is the second full album of theirs I’ve listened to after OK Computer. It’s quite different from that one isn’t it? I actually found this one more intriguing and engaging with its series of different soundscapes. Even when it gets challenging (“National Anthem,” for example) it’s somehow interesting to me.
Unlike the Radiohead album that I was introduced to not so long ago, this one immediately sucked me in. I was captivated by the sound. I listened to the entire album over and over and was mesmerized by its rhythms. There were a couple of moments sprinkled in where I got a bit detached and maybe bored, but overall, I very much enjoyed the listen.
I wonder if being a fan of Radiohead albums is sort of like choosing between Elvis and the Beatles: There's a famous saying that you can like both artists, but you can't love them equally. Well, I feel similarly about Kid A and Ok Computer. I recognize the greatness of both albums but I'm definitely more of an Ok Computer girl, myself. That said, Kid A deserves to be on this list, I thought it was very much worth a listen, and about three tracks on here are absolute bangers I will come back to over and over again. The biggest stars for me here were Everything In Its Right Place (a killer opener track, off-putting and experimental but darkly compelling), Optimistic (catchy melody, bright chords mixed with a dark key), and Idioteque (great lyrics while somehow being unironically danceable). Radiohead's reputation as a seminal band is well-earned. Kid A's not exactly my vibe but earns 4 stars on my list just the same.
Kid A is the fourth album from Radiohead released in 2000. The band diverged from their normal alternative rock music to experiment with electronica music using synthesizers, and brass and string instruments. This change paid off as this album became immediately popular and was still one of the best albums at the end of the decade. This album charted number 1 in the UK and US, sold over 207,000 copies in its first week, won a Grammy for Best Alternative Album, and has been certified platinum. Also, this was one of the first albums to be mostly promoted on the internet and was available to stream at release. This album was widely anticipated but loathed by critics. Critics were expecting another standard rock album and were surprised to find a slow, serene, and even other-worldly sounding album. The band's brave decision to stray from the norm and try something new was thought of as career suicide, but the fans - and the direction pop music would take in the following years - supported and even embraced this change in musical style. This album cemented Radiohead as a "main stage act" in the business for years to come because it showed they could create something great, even when trying something new. It seems like this album's style would fit in perfectly well with the music of today. IMO I loved the album and it may be my favorite Radiohead album now. Combining rock and electronic music is something special, and I'm on the search for more music like this album.
Kid B really but Kid A for effort!
The album surprised me, this album is not the classical Radiohead, it's good but not great
It's Radiohead as it is to be expected
Superb
Per més anys que passin, sempre caldrà reconèixer la valentia de la banda de signar la continuació d''OK Computer' amb un disc com 'Kid A'. Experimentació i avantguarda portades des de la creativitat, no des de l'assaig-error com tantes vegades s'ha donat el cas (i amb molts exemples en aquesta mateixa llista). No és l'obra mestra que va ser 'OK Computer', però va cimentar la carrera de la banda com una de les grans formacions modernes a tenir sempre molt en compte
Rock like jazz
One of the best! Some tracks you can live without but the bangers on here are just that!
Like it a lot, it looks like an introduction to In Rainbows.
Frábær plata sem ég þekki inn og út.
It took me a long time to really get around to giving Radiohead a good go. I started to delve into them just over a year ago. I've listened to all their albums, and although I have no clear favourites this is up there. I know this album will continue to grow over time, but at the moment it is a solid 4.
Very nice, atmospheric.
I enjoy this album but still not my most favorite Radiohead album.
Cool album. A bit lower energy than I expected, but then again I've never listened to a full Radiohead album.
Great album
Not something I'd listen to that often but when it fits the mood it's really great.
Really good atmosphere with a variety of sounds. The pro of being like 12 days behind is that I got to listen to this on a grim snowy day. 8/10
7/10. Had its moments but not especially memorable.
Extrem sphärisch, athmosphärisch, am Anfang mega, dann ok, mitte/Ende wieder mega. Phasettenreich, viele Instrumente!
Experimental Radiohead. Not their best, but still amazing. Great example of their range and genius.
Works for me. Radiohead manages to convey their particular and unique sound, also seem to be evolving toward something.
Great album. Worth a listen, Fav songs: Everything is in the right place Treefingers Motion picture soundtrack
I vaguely remember listening to this. I will return to it at a later date to update my rating.
So sad
Nunca he visto lo revolucionario en este disco, supongo que porque no viví el momento. No es de mis favoritos de Radiohead, aunque tiene temazos. Trascendencia: 10, supongo. Género: 8. En lo experimental creo que los hay mejores Personal: 6. No es el disco de mi vida
Easier to get in to than in rainbows
More instrumental than expected, not very familiar with Radiohead before. Reminded of Animal Collective, though softer.
Amazing album that redefined the band. Idioteque is my favourite track but all of them are simply great. Not my favourite Radiohead album but top 3 for sure.
I waffle back and forth, sometimes feeling like I 'get' it and other times just feeling like it is another jam band cacophony. Obviously this wasn't intended to be easy listening, but I feel like this album wants me to put in a fair amount of work before I get the payoff.
I really didn't want to like this as much as I do because I always thought of myself as someone who wasn't a Radiohead fan. But yea, it's pretty great.
Eksperimenterende rock, elektronisk, ambient, svingende
4.5/5 - almost great, some tracks a little cold
This is well-rounded, aesthetically pleasing, and damn enjoyable album. Radiohead know how to put out a good album and have consistently done so through most of their doscography. Favourite songs were Idioteque and National Anthem
I've grown into Radiohead. I used to think they were boring and whiney ad i didnt like it. I still think they are a bit whiney, but i appreciate that now.
Surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did. Mostly slow and introspective with quite a zen vibe. If you can tune in it's a ride worth taking.
Very much a departure from their previous work. Need to listen again
Weirdly likeable. Nice to have on in the background, with a few stand out moments too.
Unobtrusive, quiet, and interesting.
Headphones
Broke out my double 10" vinyl copy of this excellent album. Everything in its Right Place starts things off perfectly and you just know this is going to be a challenging and ultimately rewarding listen. Every song creates a mood uniquely its own but the whole album holds together somehow. For me this is Radiohead'sthird best album and that's saying a lot. Not quite 5 stars....4 1/2, but for this project; 4 stars ✨
Trippy opening track, lofi vibes from the instrumentation. Relaxing to have in the background. The overall feeling is somewhat of a soundtrack to waking up after a night of partying. The second song reminds me of sitting at home playing minecraft back in 2011. I’d imagine this album would be great to trip to because of the eerie vocal delivery and the shoe gaze, ethereal and slightly dissonant and jazzy sound that the instrumentation provides. The vocals and instruments come together nicely and paint a vivid but moody picture.
Gorgeous. I was sleepy and this was a blissful listen.
Good stuff. I'm sure I'll say that again in ten years when I listen to radio head again.
ooo kid a mdr boeuf
This album is constantly talked about as one of the greatest by Radiohead. Somewhat true. This album is great start to finish. I recommend it but you need to be exactly the right type for this. Some songs were a miss the first couple of times.
Brilliant
Noisy, no better than OK Computer tho

Ambient, trippy, experimental. Really interesting.
Enjoyed listening to but not bangers. Listen start from finish Listen to more radiohead
Mal im Einzelnen betrachtet: "Everything In Its Right Place" ist ein starker Einstieg, nimmt das ganze Album gewissermaßen vorweg und funktioniert zusammen mit "Untitled" hervorragend als Klammer, merke ich gerade. Die verschrobenen Soundscapes im Song "Kid A" klingen leider etwas dated, vermutlich weil dann alle anderen, bis hin zu den Bauernsöhnen aus Weilheim, sie einfach abgekupfert haben. Es gab keine Singles, but I can hear one: mit "The National Anthem" erfüllen sie diesen Anspruch natürlich aus dem Handgelenk, und das auch noch mit Freejazz-Arrangements (den haben aber nicht sie erfunden. Ok, die Arrangements auf "How To Disappear" sind schon super, die evozierte Sehnsucht auch. Bin mir aber nicht sicher ob auch superer als z.B. Sachen, die Björk schon paar Jahre früher gemacht hat. Also den Erfinderbonus bekommen sie dafür von mir jedenfalls nicht. Der Song der mir beim ersten Hören als erster wirklich aufgefallen ist, ist Treefinger. Verschachtelte Flächen aus Xylophonen und Glocken, Late Night-/wohlige Einsamkeit-Feelings. Läuft mir auch beim 5. Durchgang noch sehr gut rein, ist nur zu kurz. Optimistic wäre dann die zweite Single gewesen, sie hätte die Dampfradiowelt zu einer besseren gemacht. Ist "In Limbo" eigentlich das somnambule Aufwachen in einem Alptraum nach Tiefschlafverschwinden in How To Disappear? Naja. Idioteque klingt nach zu viel Aphex Twin gewollt. Mit "Morning Bell" hätten wir dann die dritte Single, kommt mir in diesem Werk fast am konventionellsten vor, bildet mir von Reihenfolge und Inhalt ein mit Disappear und Limbo ein schönes Tryptichon aus Verschwinden / Verlieren / Wiederfinden. Erstmal Frühstück, wenn auch verkatert. Bei "Motion Picture Soundtrack" (Harfen!) wiederhole ich gern meinen Björk-Vergleich von vorhin. Interessant verregnet - neu erfunden aber nicht. Muss ja auch gar nicht. Gesamteindruck: wirkt erstaunlich kompakt und aus einem Guss. Funktioniert auch ohne Singles. Schön, dass ich endlich mal drauf gestoßen wurde. Vielleicht/wahrscheinlich ein Grower.
WoW, de la belle musique venue de l’espace!! Écouteur averti seulement, pas trop accessible. L’ambiance créée par cet album donne des frissons, la voix est parfaite. Mais c’est sur que ça prend un peu de mélancolie dans ta journée pour apprécier. Je lévite everything in its right place, national anthem, optimistic, idioteque Je l’évite les Cuivre dans la deuxième partie de national anthem, ça te scrap une toune
Abgefahren, trotzdem auch gut im Hintergrund.
radiohead is the answer to "what high quality music should I listen during my suicide attempt?!"
My experience so far with Radiohead includes "Creep", and the entire album of "The Bends". I love both; have been meaning to get around to more of their stuff. Here we are! I did not care for the first track very much. Thom York's vocals, especially in later Radiohead, are very grating on my ears. I wasn't sure if I was going to dig this album much based on the first song. But the rest of the album is great! I listened in the car, so I honestly couldn't tell you much about each track individually, but the construct as a whole is excellent. Really good "jam" material. Certainly not much to tap your toes to, or sing along with. I cannot even begin to imagine what a Radiohead concert is like. But I could see myself revisiting this often. I think it would be good "working" music. It also reminded me a bit of I am Robot and Proud, which is a favorite artist of mine. I wonder if he was inspired by Kid A.
I liked this one quite a bit, especially the opening few tracks. I didn't enjoy the vocals as much, but some of the instrumentals were fantastic.
Seems written specifically for music critics. Hard to say if it was genuinely written or if the intent was to win the approval of a bunch of music hipsters. Either way it’s pretty good.
Well, its not my favourite Radiohead. Luke complained that it was super boring, I disagree but it doesn't do it for me like other Radiohead ones. I kind of get it, but I find it peaceful and interesting.
Classic. 3rd favorite Radiohead album. 9/10 1. Everything in its Right Place 2. The National Anthem 3. Kid A
Really good. Echo
Odd collection of experimental electronic jazz. Not as pop rock focused as previous albums of theirs. Good background music to study to
Like not love
Pretty cool, I should really give Radiohead another try now I've grown up so much 8/10
I forgot to take notes while listening...
Yeah, it's good. I bet if I listened more closely I'd glean more of a 'story' than listening idly in the background
Vibey. Pre-911 swoopy synths that have been done to death but back then they hadn't yet, and still manages to be a little fresh 20 years l8r
Excellent ethereal sounding rock album. Highlights: Everything In Its Right Place Kid A Optimistic
In the top 5 best Radiohead albums
Kid A, nothing to say.
Not the best radiohead album, but still pretty good
Amazing
Beautiful. 4.5
Some fun songs for easy listening. The audio quality is pretty low, which brings down the enjoyment level, and the sound feels a bit derivative, but I enjoyed it a fair amount!
Fantastic album. Something you'll definitely have to listen to a few times to soak it in. Lots of different sounds to discover, very electronic compared to the bends but definitely showcases their development musically. Memorable album without memorable tracks. Songs are better together than by themselves.
Very experimental, chill, kinda strange vibes. Would put on as background music.
Not their best album but a good one
No thoughts, head empty, only "How to Disappear Completely" (This oscillates between being my second and third favorite Radiohead album. Currently I'd put it in third behind OKC and IR)
What a beautiful piece of post-modern rock my guy. Really loved it, good for studying haha
Amazing how far they travelled in 4 albums.
actual pog
9.3/10
2000. Key Songs: Everything In Its Right Place, How To Disappear Completely, In Limbo, Motion Picture Soundtrack
Not my favorite Radiohead album, good ambiance though. Put me to sleep. Motion picture soundtrack is a great song probably my favorite on the album.
Parlophone LPKIDA 1 (UK) vinyl rip "Optimistic" I had never heard before. Great track. It's not quite as catchy as OK Computer but the experimentation was never going to be.
This album... I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it. I listened to part of it while I was a bit stressed out about something and it felt somewhat soothing. But it also doesn't really feel like something I'd listen to regularly. It kinda just came in at the right time. The music is well made with electronic and jazzy influences. Radiohead is still kind of hit or miss for me, though, and I don't know if this is a hit.
We started out great, I was intrigued by the different inspirations all the way up until idioteque. Did NOT like. It got severely monotone, it wasn't doing anything for me, and I was not feeling it. After 'In limbo,' it really did feel like I was in limbo, but purgatory limbo blegh. Just started motion picture soundtrack, the organ and harp usage is brilliant. AAAND SNYTH, the end. Overall, a little boring and monotone, but there are a couple tracks thats stood out, especially 'How to Disappear Completely'
Experimental soft rock mixed with electronics soundscapes. I know it’s extremely well regarded and maybe I don’t give it enough credit here, but it didn’t live up to the hype. I’m not a big Radiohead fan, and parts of this were hard to parse though. I was still enjoyable, but not as much as I thought it would be.
I had resigned myself to being irritated by all Radiohead's post-OK Computer albums, but I actually found things to enjoy on this listen. It has moments of beauty that are less funereal and meandering. It might have helped that I was coming into it having listened to Einsturzende Neubaten yesterday. I can see how this merits a place on this list, as a major creative shift in Radiohead's work. I don't feel we needed Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief as well, they really did feel like more of the same but less interesting.
It feels like a date with someone you don't really connect with.
Not my fav. LOVED everything in its right place
When this came out I was soooo disappointed. But its better than I remember.
nice soundtrack for road trip through lonely sierra caldera. not my fav tracks actually - little discombobulated - but no one does eerie 3d render for album art like these blokes
Not the go to Radiohead album for me but heard it enough over the years thanks to my son playing it endlessly! Can take it or leave it tbh. Nice to hear in full on an early morning walk at least. Prefer OK Computer with the classic singles on but I’m pretty sure that will appear here at some point.
Really different, sometimes difficult to enjoy but worth the effort.
I don't think a Radiohead person.
I just don’t get it. I added “The National Anthem” to my playlist.
I like the weirdness and oddness about the album, but one have to be in the right mood to really appreciate it.
It was very hard to listen for the first time, but I unexpectedly found myself a few times, that it was actually not that bad as I felt for the first 10 minutes, and at the end the album showed me some majestic hypnosis that prevented me from cutting it off.
та йой
need to re listen. i liked it.
I keep trying with Radiohead, but they largely remain a band that I respect and appreciate more than actively enjoy. I get that this was mould-breaking and unique, and while I can salute that, this still remains an album that I struggle to like and choose to engage with.
Some exceptional songs, but others fall too far into the listening background. Favs: Everything In Its Right Place, Idioteque
It was alright. Too many Radiohead albums though. They're not that good, man.
Free Palestine!
not bad but too slow for me. like there was almost nothing in my ears.
Just didn't hit like it has for me before. Maybe I will feel differently later.
Much more going for it than the previous Radiohead offering from last week, but still not really hitting for me. Sometimes if you squint you ears, sounding like an early Elbow
Radiohead still is that kind of Band where I would listen to a complete best of album but not to the normal albums with exceptions
Eigentlich gut und nicht störend, aber trotzdem nicht meins
I just can’t get into Radiohead. I want to. I’ve tried. It just never happens. I feel like the world is playing a cruel trick on me. So many people love them and I don’t think I’ll ever understand why.
Ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming ice age cumming First album generated yay I don’t get how this is so critically acclaimed, Kid A is not the best at the experimental genre, especially the first 3 tracks because they are grating and don’t set the baseline for what the album is like well. Everything after that is pretty solid. I don’t hate this album as much as other people do but i still don’t quite like it and it’s one of my least favorite Radiohead albums. People just hate on Kid A just because it’s popular and just because they don’t like experimental music, for some reason whenever people write reviews of this album they act like they’ve never heard experimental or melancholy music in their LIFE and they curse the album for being relaxed and experimental. I’m not gonna lie this album is basically Radiohead just noodling, but it still has good highlights where the album doesn’t feel boring besides the first 3 tracks. Tracks like Idioteque and The National Anthem are filled with lots of substance and subtle things in their instrumentals, and even more relaxed songs like Motion Picture Soundtrack and How To Disappear Completely give you this amazing feeling of both relaxation and dread with their melancholic instrumentals. Highlights: How To Disappear Completely, The National Anthem, Treefingers, Idioteque, Optimistic, In Limbo, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Morning Bell - These songs capture the themes of the album perfectly and are the best showcases of what Radiohead could do on this album Lowlights: Everything In Its Right Place, and Kid A - Tracks that fit in with the other good ones but they still are boring because of their electronic beats that don’t go anywhere
a couple of really good ones but possibly my least favourite from them?
This is probably my least favourite Radiohead album. I just don't connect with it, although I do like Idioteque a lot.
Decent, not my cup of tea. Too experimental sounding First song is iconic
Listening to this for the first time I was not really impressed. I guess I prefer Radiohead's earlier works. To be fair, this kind of low energy album has never been my favorite so its not surprising.
Avant garde: the album. National Anthem, Optimistic & Morning Bell are highlights, my here. I don't really care for the ambient avant garde one some of the songs, they do have interesting sounds. Idioteque has an interesting hip hop vibe to & Fingertrees is a nice instrumental. 3
The bar was set high with Everything in its Right Place, but the potential wasn't met.
Better than the last Radio Head album I listened to.
When I was 15, I fell in love with Radiohead. I heard the song High and Dry and realized that they were far more capable than the song Creep, which I never liked in the first place. I told my dad “this song is so sad” and he told me that Radiohead were one of the quintessential “sad” bands. Thus began my decade-long infatuation with this band, the most well-loved group by hipsters and other music hobbyists. Fake Plastic Trees was the first song I ever learned on guitar on my own. Radiohead was my first “favorite band” and me loving Radiohead became one of my known personality traits throughout high school. My love for them has cooled in recent years, but I still have a soft spot for them in my heart. Kid A, what is usually considered the pinnacle of the band’s lust for experimentation and a beautiful representation of artistic freedom, is a fucking disaster. I hate this shit. It’s completely disjointed, it’s bloated with cheap filler despite being less than 50 minutes long, and it’s nothing more than the band throwing at a dartboard while occasionally landing on the bullseye. Please listen to me. After the success of OK Computer, the band was given permission to do whatever the hell they wanted. A dream come true for most bands, but this initially felt like a limitation, as chief songwriter Thom Yorke was suffering from severe writer’s block. Yorke and his mental illness was, and still is, vastly underestimated by the general public as well as the fans. A man who despised being in the limelight was thrust into it over a few short years, and he got there by writing songs about his own mental illness. Now his managers were demanding he write more songs about his mental illness. Brutal. He was clearly worse for wear. This resulted in two major changes to the songwriting process. For one, there is almost no guitar on Kid A. Yorke had been listening almost exclusively to electronic music in search of a new creative spark. The entire band upended their foundational structure with some roles being changed or removed entirely, as Radiohead’s three guitarists were writing songs with zero guitar, and some songs had no drums for Phil. The other change is that he would write down strings of words on paper, cut them out, and assemble song lyrics by drawing them out of a hat. Classic dadaist move. An immensely popular band taking cues from that playbook is impressive, and I must respect it. But I don’t have to like it. Before this album, Radiohead often had lyrics that conveyed a sense of dystopia, hopelessness, or otherwise futile resistance. When the band finds a good tune, such as the interesting chord progression here, I find myself wishing they would back it up with more interesting, human lyrics. A juxtaposition between soulless instrumentation and intrinsically creative lyrics may be a chance to represent a human’s experience living in an evolving digital age, as Radiohead was at the time. At the time of Kid A’s release, the world had just narrowly avoided the Y2K “bug.” Much of the band’s marketing took advantage of the developing Internet technology. They knew how to write about the world in which they lived. And yet, on the iconic opening song "Everything in Its Right Place,” Yorke mutters “yesterday I woke up sucking on a lemon / there are two colors in my head / what was that you tried to say.” That’s it. That’s the joke. Sometimes the band managed to strike gold. The first truly fantastic song on Kid A is How to Disappear Correctly. Lo and behold, it’s also the first song on the record that doesn’t have randomly assembled lyrics. It comes from a real experience Yorke had, one in which he was struggling to stay grounded and present while on a tour bus. He asked Michael Stipe of R.E.M fame for help. His response? Closing all the windows, shutting your eyes, and repeating to yourself “I’m not here. This isn’t happening.” Those two sentences form the basis of the song, along with string passages that are absolutely soaked in sorrow. There’s nothing robotic about it! It resonates entirely as human. Loneliness, alienation, invisibility. This lovely song represents one portion of how the album could sound if it had a stronger foundation of ideas, or a tighter structure. But it doesn’t, not in the slightest. This song is preceded by The National Anthem, whose selling point is an absolute traffic jam of a brass section and a bassline that Yorke wrote in middle school which, unfortunately, sounds like it was written in middle school. The song is then followed by Treefingers, a little ambient interlude, even though the album is so short that an interlude is unnecessary. There are satisfying songs on Kid A that are longer than Treefingers, a song in which nothing happens. It does not need to be there. While How to Disappear Completely showcases the human side of the record, another song demonstrates the robotic side to perfection. That would be Idioteque: a song built on samples, a sequenced beat, and the cut-up lyrical technique Yorke uses throughout the record. It’s a very interesting take on the sort of “club banger” track that would be worked into DJ sets across Europe. The lyrics here are just as jumbled as most other songs on the record, and even though they don’t mean anything, they feel like they do. “Ice age coming, ice age coming / Let me hear both sides / We’re not scaremongering / This is really happening.” Despite it being completely unintentional, it seems like an indication of their future work, especially on Hail to the Thief, the most overtly political of all their albums. Idioteque is an example of the other half of Kid A, the soulless mechanical side, working out very well. If only the whole album married this with the human side, but it doesn’t. Nearly every song leans too far to one side or the other. I firmly believe Kid A, even though it has a few fantastic Radiohead songs, is too disconnected and experimental for its own good. It feels like forcing something into existence when nothing had to be there at all. It’s equivalent to panning for gold. Sure, there’s some treasure to be found. But most of what you’ll find is a whole lot of dirt. Tl;dr I think the album mostly sucks, but it’s Radiohead so it’s still kinda good. Idioteque and Disappear kick ass. In Limbo sucks. Treefingers pointless. Best version of Morning Bell. Ends weird.
Ambient rock; no stand out hits, but interesting soundscape; RS 500 - 3.64
Sentí bastante existencialista y lo puedo describir como hermosamente apocalíptico
I just didn’t quite vibe with this as an entire album. There are some exceptional moments of beautiful music in here, but I just didn’t find myself enjoying large portions of it. I generally do like what Radiohead I have heard. So maybe I just need to let this one marinate. But for now, I think it’s only a high 3/5 for me.
Break/through album for its time.
Liked barely 2 songs from it
Op de beste momenten gelaagd, gedurfd en verrassend uitwaaierend tussen noise en trance. Op de slechtste momenten inspiratie voor AI-systemen om eindeloze achtergrondmuziek voor meditatieruimtes uit te braken. Perfecte muziek voor als je 's nachts dronken of stoned in een veld naar de sterren ligt te kijken. Alleen jammer dat ik zelden drink en geen drugs doe. En dan is het toch wat te langdradig.
tis wel leuk, zitten goeie nummers tussen ma tis wa te veel van tzelfde en soms iets te overdreven voor mij
Did not really like this album for a band that I know is pretty good
I’d really like to like Radiohead but it’s a lot of monotonous whining right?
More sounds from Radiohead. Not bad. Not great. Good background noise, I guess.
I feel like this is one of the weakest radiohead albums but there were loads of great songs in this album regardless. I don’t really know whether you’re supposed to listen to the extended version of this album as part of the review but I did anyways.
I’m more of an In Rainbows guy
I'm not on the Radiohead is the greatest band in the world train.. but its an OK album.
Better than the other Radiohead album I had. It's interesting sounds, but I feel it's always leading to somewhere that it never gets to. Where's the oooompf?
Nice collection of sounds we have here but that's about it. Everything else, be it songwriting or whatnot, is unremarkable to say the least. Was expecting more considering the legacy behind this album, with pitchfork giving it a 10 and the general consensus of this being a life changing masterpiece, but well, it is what it is. Probably the band's most experimental work, but relatively speaking, it could barely be called experimental. The digestible experimental type, I guess. If I wanted that sound, there are other projects doing it better, and being more bold about it. Couldn't really connect with the album. The vision is there, sure, but it felt incomplete. Still a good album, just not the "good" I expected from one of Radiohead's most famed work.
Critics darlings, but they are overrated.
Ok
Det er jo lidt et album, hvor man er blevet enig om, at det er godt. Det er det også i min optik, men jeg synes ikke, at det er *så* godt. Nogle af deres absolut bedste sange er her på - Everything In Its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely bl.a., men der er også numre, der overhovedet ikke holder kadencen. Hvor lander man så? 3.5 sue me
weird album. i grew up always thinking radiohead was a rock band, but this is more just ambient kinda music. It’s cool, but not anything exciting
While still not as good as Ok Computer this album is better than I remembered.
Aldrig lyssnat så mycket på Radiohead. ÄR väl inte världens roligaste musik men det är ju bra, det hör väl nästan alla. Stark trea
first song is viral, kinda good till the robot starts, then it’s kinda noise music, currently i don’t know who’s listening to it. It’s kinda giving pink floyd, or what i think they sound like. I’ve had the urge to skip, no songs are playlist worthy.. good drums and beats really tight, just not for daily listening
Fine. Cool production. A little quiet and York's voice is annoying
Kul att de gjorde det
I’m… just not a Radiohead guy
Meditiative and existential, it feels soul crushing Favourite track: Everything in its Right Place
This is a groundbreaking album. But only for diehard Radiohead fans. It marks the boundary of indiepop Radiohead and Avant Garde Radiohead. It's the sound of a band redefining itself and finding it's feet once more. It's also a bit of a snooze.
Everything in its Right Place are you friggin jokin my PANTS. One of my top songs ever, no doubt. This is my first time fully listening to a Radiohead album, and I forget not all their songs are melancholic in the way I expect. Would it be crazy of me to say this sounds like a very British album? Not in a bad way. It makes me think of a gloomy, wet day on that grey little island. After fully listening, there are only 5 songs I would put in my likes and listen to regularly. These are songs that would make me cry at 3 AM on the toilet. That’s my bar for Radiohead songs I think.
I know lots of folks rave about Radiohead and I’ve tried to give them a listen here and there. But I’ve never actually made it through an album. Kid A for me was pretty decent overall. Some of the tracks sounded a bit like U2 to me. But the others were wicked. I’m sure if I did a deeper dive into their music it would grow on me.
Viel erbij in slaap, beetje boring Optimistic was wel aardig
mmm
Its a ok
I really do prefer the more electronic songs in here. I don't know, I've been putting off listening to this and the way people talk about this album I was expecting to be more blown away. It's not a bad album by any means but eh.
It does some cool things, I liked it better than In Rainbows, IDK I find their music kind of boring largely, but this does enough cool things to maintain my interest. 3/5
robots overtook humanity and discovered melancholia очень приятно слушать. новый опыт вторая половина треков кажется уже human like. и явно скучнее. инструментал все еще крут, вокал не впечатляет, кое-где даже портит первый альбом из которого я добавила себе в плейлист что-то (treefingers) от бонусного трека ощущение, что заглянул в ледниковую трещину overall: я люблю эмбиент, и люди, которые делали этот альбом, очевидно тоже. мне понравилось, но дикого восторга не вызвало
Again, interesting and varied music, but the vocals just sound like amorphous moaning.
I can't really place my thoughts with this record. Would it be fair to say that it feels a bit too much like a "we're popular now so we can do no wrong" kind of album - y'know, self induglent? This is my first Radiohead album even though I know they're borderline mythical, and on a technical level the album is brilliant - I just don't care for it. That being said, made me very interested in their other work, I'm looking forward to discovering the myth.
I was impressed with this in my head, but I didn’t feel it in my heart or my feet.
