Jake.'s review of Radiohead, Kid A

“I've read several reviews of Kid A and I have to say...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Jake. on 07/02/2003

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.

Jake, your opinion of Kid A is completely wrong and reflects your overall ignorance of music in general. I find your thoughtless bashing of the album both offensive and disgusting. The thing that is crude is not the beautifully woven melodies of Kid A demonstrated in the Pyramid song and Knives out, but it is in fact you're views on the quality of music. The only difference between Kid A and the previous Radiohead albums is that it requires more than a picosecond of an attention span. Obviously, an attention span is something you lack. You probably listened to the album for about three seconds before you made your judgement. I suggest you reevaluate what "good" music is and take a second listen to Kid A.

It's not "crud", it's just strange, and it's very different. At least it's not like all the common dross that modern artists (with a few exceptions) are getting paid millions to destroy our culture with.

Jake you were right. I bought this garbage and felt so gutted I found this site to see if others were equally as bored. I actually listened to it all! I want that wasted time back. What an absolute collapse from a good band.
One dimensional, pretentious and alarmingly lacking in feeling in comparison to previously well thought out, and structured sound. An awful mistake. I suppose we all live and learn.
