General Comments

Yes, Kid A was an experiment and yes, maybe it could have been more successful but people often forget about the truely great tracks that are on this album. I'm talking about "How to Disappear Completely" and "Motion Picture Soundtrack" - these are brilliant songs.

Thom Yorke himself described track 4, How to Disappear Completely, as "the most beautiful track we ever made" - and I can agree with this - even though it's a dark kind of beautiful.

Kid A has a few moments that just don't work, but it's not as far fetched as Amnesiac and has some great songs - I think that people often overlook this and cut right to the criticism.

Kid A is a good album all round and is well worth a listen.
