"I think they are just corporate sluts spreading their legs open waiting for die-hard fan to screw them."
....The problem with making a radio friendly album is that idiots want you to continue to make rubbish three minute pop songs. To that moron 'Godspeed' who made the above comment, Kid A was made for the exact opposite reason. But you look like an idiot now.
Face facts. The bends was a decent album with a few stand out songs. Radiohead's first two albums were overall sh*te. And Pablo Honey is a disgrace

i totally agree with your review, radiohead have lost the rock.. pablo honey was pretty good mainly focusing on guitar i think- creep obviously being the best on that album.
the bends is my favorite one of all, it also uses alot of guitar but puts a bit of creep in all of its songs.
Ok computer focused mainly on creep style i think but still an excelent album with 'karma police', 'paranoid android' masterpeices..
but then... kid a..
i totally agree with you, no rock its completely changed genres and their songs are so.. empty..
i have kind of given up on radioheads later albums, and am just replaying the earlier ones over and over.

i find it interesting that the popular phrase " one could slit their wrists to this music" is taken in such a negative way.i've always found that their music is a release. it touches on subjects which are depressing and complements the act of blood letting, which i find is a positive experience. i don't want to confuse. depression is to me a positive experience.

Radiohead don't have to make albums with guitar riffs similar to their other albums. Kid A was the first Radiohead album i heard, and, it amazes me.
bottom line is, you can't call yourself a lover of music, or even just a radiohead fan if you can't accept change. or respect the effect different instruments have on the listener.
anyway, i love Kid A

Kid A was bound to be placed in the bin of mixed reviews; it's a shocker. Just remember, everything goes somewhere, and everything is born from something else. This is what Kid A is about, and this is how it grows, and this is how electricity expands in its world, and this is how their world is created. Their world is vast, with that one key of derivity in mind, and it creates a world deeper than anything imaginable, one that lasts forever (or until the end of track 10). The tracks are varient but ebb and flow as one. They each make their mark and give way to the next piece of glowing conciousness. Conciousness is a journey, part is beat heavy with groove and rhythm, while part is floating and ambiguous. This album is a journey, don't mistake it for a flop.
PS: this album sucks.

In my opinion this is radiohead's best album. Kid a is not experimental is progressive and highly intelligent as reflected in the excellent manner it is arranged. ingenious. The cd has never failed to bore me. Try listening to it on headphones and playing it 1/4 of a second slower in a car with subwoofers and a nice echo effect. Oh yes, ingesting psilocybin enhances the effect wonderfully. Radiohead proves that insturments no longer need be played traditionally and that traditional insturments need not be played to produce historic music.

All respect due, this review was neither well thought through or well prosed. Much extraneous belligerencedru. That said, The Conventions of the Fourth Dimension says this: If you like consistent tempos and feel-good rhythms, listen to reggae music; gain some of the intelligence found therewithin; then, when a time has passed an inch, and maybe theres a beard crawling on your chin, and your hair has grown, or fallen out perhaps, sit down, and listen to Kid A, and feel silly for expecting more "creep" (radioheads single greatest song??? (answer: wrong) Much Beautiful music pores from the crown of radiohead, creep (aka I want to hold your hand, she loves you, yesterday) is a simpleton's staring point for one of the most radical groups in the history of popular music. And if you enjoy comparison, call Kid A Sargent Pepper, with ringo on the fill-less drum machine. Also, Believe in yourself.

A silly review. No substance? Listen further. Immerse yourself in this. This is the most perfectly realised album ever; a concept brought to life combined with a completely different avenue for what was essentially a guitars and bass rock band.
A change that made me a fan.

has it ever occured to anyone that Radiohead isn't a rock band? Radiohead is an amazing, talented group of artists who have decided to evolve music as a whole, not just the rock genre. Pure rock fans that are looking for Rage Against the Machine-esque tracks and hard guitars won't be satisfied with Kid A, true, but Radiohead tries to reach out to different crowds, not just one. They play the music for the sake of music, not to please core-hungry rock fans. I'm all for hard rock, but as a musician, this album has really opened my mind into trying new kinds of music with MY band.

why do the people who have such a strong dislike for a band waste their time sending negative emails? must not have too much of a life. you guys should concentrate on bands you do like, this way you dont look so f*n pathetic using all their lonely time to try and bring ugliness to a very beautiful expirience, music that one person could slit their wrists too( and by the way that is getting so old,at least be original)is music another person could be totally charged by. i saw them last night 10/9 at msg.one of the best shows i've seen.

ok, so Kid A is different, so what!, did any of us really want another album exactly like Ok Computer?? There are huge differences between Pablo Honey and The Bends, and again between The Bends and Ok Computer, but no one then went on about Radiohead being crap and pretentious. This is just yet another completely different album from a genuinely artistic band,(and there are very few of these now, as i'm sure we are painfully aware of)that continues to evolve. good thing. If Radiohead were not the kind of band that experimented, than we could very well now be stuck with a hundred other songs by them that sound the same as creep and anyone can play guitar, etc... And it is also possible that Radiohead got sick of other bands attempting to copy their style, so they decided to go and change it completely.
Anyway, lets stop expecting consistency and deal with the fact that experimentation is a good thing (just listen to the first few chords of optimistic....)

This is how my mate put it. It's quite a read.
So the reviews are mixed. Q magazines prints strange pictures, with the caption ‘You won’t believe what they’ve done!’. Overall the feeling is that the album is too different, the songs are experiments, not anthems. They’ve gone all experimental. Once again, it seems that, rather than stay on the motorway, there has been a change in plan, the route planner has failed, the GPS is whirring, and the road map is on fire! Radiohead have left at junction 12, and are bombing along at breakneck speed down a twisting country lane.
October. To say your expectation was high would be quite an understatement. Of course, Radio 1 plays the songs in advance, and the band are interviewed. The hairs rise on the back of your neck as you hear for the first time, the latest offering from this groundbreaking group. Motion Picture Soundtrack is beautiful, and so different to the demo that you’ve heard on a bootleg. The Saturday before release date, you cry as the beauty of the breathtaking ‘How To Disappear’ takes you far away from the cold, noisy record shop that you are stuck in.
And when you finally buy it, in all it’s glory, the first flick through is promising. Something’s not right though. It doesn’t seem to be as you expected. It’s difficult to put your finger on the problem. The ‘dance beats’ could have been an issue, but that’s not it. The strange sounds, and distorted voices are different, but not unacceptable. What is it??
You see them play that night. The National Anthem could be one of the strongest opening songs by any band at any time, it’s phenomenal. Only problem is, the album version seems weak by comparison. You could grow to love these songs, you think.
Trouble is, it’s 6 months later, you still don’t love the songs, and it’s driving you mad, because you still don’t know what it is that’s the problem. What is it?? The album has been played too much by the group of friends, all desperately trying to love the album, but failing. Everyone is left empty, distracted, and frustrated. You’re trying so hard not to admit defeat, but you are beginning to think the critics are right. In late June you confide in others that you are not happy with the album. You’ve given up. Of course, you now have ‘Amnesiac’. Now that’s got a few songs that are incredible, different, and you think probably better than ‘Kid A’. Now we’re getting somewhere, aren’t we?
July, South Park, incredible show. A week later the fog is lifting. Those strange songs that once made no sense, the crazy lyrics, they begin to make sense.
Wednesday 18th July. 10.30pm. No lights in your room. Now this is it. ‘Kid A’ is incredible. It might, might be better than anything they’ve done before. What are you saying, what about a certain masterpiece which goes under the name of ‘OK Computer’? No, surely not, but no, it is. In one crazy listen this is it. What can I say? You’ve taken your time, but it was well worth the wait.
It starts gently, the first song has a hint of restlessness and frustration. Then the title track is melodic, echoing and stunning, stunningly beautiful. It has a strange haunting beauty that you thought they might have lost, obviously not. ‘National Anthem’ is wild and outrageous as it settles into the incredible, incredible, incredible ‘How To Disappear’. Then lie back and chill out, relax, as the sounds wash over you like a warm tide at sunset. Out of the blue, its ‘Optimistic’, and it’s a damn fine song as well. You knew it was quite good when you first heard it, but never this good. ‘In Limbo’ is definitely how you think it would feel to be lost at sea. ‘Idioteque’ scares, haunts, and excites. Morning Bell is now emerging as an anthem that you longed to hear after ‘OK Computer’. And then it’s all rounded off with Motion Picture Soundtrack (and the bonus track as well). This used to sound incomplete, and empty, now it might be even better than the beautiful demo that you heard so long ago.
Yeah, OK now you admit, it may well be the best thing that they have done. An outrageous statement and one that you don’t believe you’re making, but you are.
Faith restored, music back on track, everything in its right place……………..
