Advantages: A complete flowing and perfect album

Disadvantages: None.

"Kid A" is my favourite album in the whole world. It is a perfect album from start to finish. The album kicks off with the brilliant "Everything In Its Right Place", which was a shock to Radiohead fans at the time, they were used to guitars. This is followed by the synthyplinkplonks of "Kid A" and the dirty bass groove of "The National Anthem". Radiohead are not afraid to experiment, this album is sounding great already. Next for me is the highlight of the album, the highlight of the musical world "How To Dissapear Completely". This is my favourite song ever, the melodic bass, the fragile acoustic strumming, and the way the ondes are awkwardly stuck on one chord until they flourish above everything, stunning song and I have been lucky enough to witness this live. Next is "Treefingers", now you make think this song is pointless and theres not much about it, but its making this album complete, "Kid A" is a complete album, one which flows from start to finish, and this track brings us brilliantly into Optimistic after a short "rest" lets call it! "Optimistic" is probably the most typical Radiohead song on the album, the electric guitars are back and Radiohead are rocking out. Next is "In Limbo", a beautiful triplet guitar riff is played over straight rhythms. Next is the electronic "Idioteque", a frantic rush off energy "Ice age coming, ice age coming", one of the highlights of them album. After this is "Morning Bell", this track has a very calm yet awkward feeling to it due to the irregular time signature and drum loop, comforting yet scary? A brilliant track. The album is finished off with "Motion Picture Soundtrack", and what a perfect album ender. Everything is brought back down to an organ and Thom Yorke's brilliant voice, until it explodes with Jonny's string/harp flourishes, these sounds come back after a few minutes of silence to end the album perfectly.

"I will see you in the next life"

Summary: My favourite album in the world, i would recommend this to everyone.
