Completely different. More thought provoking and deeper album than any other they have released. People complain there isn't enough rock on it but i think it's brilliant.

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 ...

OK Radiohead's Kid A is not an everyday pop record, but just put your headphones on, grab some fine wine, and just enjoy.

I can and will compare Kid A by Radiohead to Sgt. Pepper by the Beatles. KID A is a musical marvel that has not only revolutionized how music is but it has once again showed that there are more rooms to play around in, just like Sgt. Pepper. Every song is different so boredom is not in play. Life altering, sophisticated and spacey. Radiohead is one of the few bands that have successfully broken the fabric of the universe. If you don't "get" music, you will not like this.

I've read several reviews of Kid A and I have to say that none of them accurately capture the essence of this album, specifically that it's absolutely awful, unlistenable crud. Call it "prog-rock" or "electronica" or what you want, it's pretentious nonsense. Kid A is not the future of rock, it's an experiment that should've never made it out of the lab. It's destiny is alongside Bonnie Raitt albums in bargain bins and used CD shops. Save your money.

I remember the good old days, driving in my car singing my heart out to the likes of Creep, You, Blow out, Just, The Bends etc etc. Now all I can do is wallow in self pity and depression as I listen to the drones and whines of Kid A and Amnesiac. What has happened to this band? Where is there energy? Deep and meaningful anecdotes and riddles in the CD cover are fine if they mean anything to anyone but the band. Kid A is a big step down to what Radiohead really are. A rock band that used to put ...

I had never even seen a shooting star before. 25 years of rotations, passes through comets' paths, and travel, and to my memory I had never witnessed burning debris scratch across the night sky. Radiohead were hunched over their instruments. Thom Yorke slowly beat on a grand piano, singing, eyes closed, into his microphone like he was trying to kiss around a big nose. Colin Greenwood tapped patiently on a double bass, waiting for his cue. White pearls of arena light swam over their faces. A lazy ...
