I stayed away from Radiohead in this period. I considered it nothing more than whiny English music. I was always a bit of a shithead in that way. It was almost like the more people told me that I should really get over myself and check this out, the less inclined I was to. See shithead comment above. This is my first time listening to Kid A in its entirety, or even on purpose. Looking into the album, this was a new direction for the band and is different in a lot of cases to what I left behind early on. I am here for the synth sounds and downtempo of the early part of the record. This is mainly, I think, what I rejected at the time. In age, I have come to this sound more and more. I have also loosened up on what I will listen to. I denied myself this album for too long. 'Optimistic' is a great fucking tune.
