Kid A - Radiohead Reviews

Best album ever. Pitiful departure from the once great band. These are generally the only opinions of this album, and I have to say I definitely fall into one of them. Here's a clue: It's not the second. Having been given all the radiohead albums as a present I listened in order, and I was beautifully stunned by the opening salvo of ...  Read the complete review

"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 ...  Read the complete review

The most unique album ever created, this band took a risk in creating something totally different, to laymen this new sound could be considered as utter garbage but if you like your alternative music and appreciate art in all aspects then I'm sure that you WILL enjoy this album. There are too many albums out there which can only be listened to a ...  Read the complete review

With such a long standing reputation for writing excellent music Radiohead fell backwards into the year 2000 with the album "Kid A" , many felt they completley abondonded the sound and basically the talent that got them as big as they were. From a personal standpoint I always thought they were far too dull and catered for one too many ...  Read the complete review

Where can I start to review an album like this? Perhaps with a bit of information about the band. Radiohead are made up of: Thom Yorke (vocals) Jonny Greenwood (guitar) Colin Greenwood (bass) Ed O'Brien (guitar) Philip Selway (Drums) In 1993, they released their first album Pablo Honey, which was full of ...  Read the complete review

Radiohead - Kid A (2000) In the aftermath of their global success, OK Computer (1997), Radiohead faced the dillemma which would see the breaking of many a once-great band. Adored by the critics for a record which captivated and amazed in the same entity, how could they possible top arguably the finest rock record of the 90's? The ...  Read the complete review

Listening to Kid A for the first time is often a very daunting experience. For people who haven't encountered this genre of music before, if it can be classified, Kid A is the type of album you want to hide from. It stretches your preconceptions of music and it's purpose. It may be easier just to bury the neatly packaged case in the garden and ...  Read the complete review

Radiohead released 'Kid A' in 2000. After the enormous success of 'OK Computer' (released in 1997) much was expected from the band for their followup, and many were surprised by the difference in the next offering. 'Kid A' is different to 'OK Computer'. Where 'OK Computer' had everyman songs, songs students could really identify with, songs that ...  Read the complete review

Having made a new head way with Ok Computer, Radiohead were left having to come up with something special to follow on. So they went away and came back a few years later with Kid A, the most experimental album heard in a long time. Its a move away from the usual Radiohead stuff in as much it isn't as driven by the guitars and strong ...  Read the complete review

Kid A is a must for anyone interested in music - Advantages: Beautiful, Uplifting, Unique - Disadvantages: None

I'd bet that alot of people didn't buy this record after hearing so many mixed reviews. It's an amazing record, so if you're one of those people, read this and go buy it. TRACK BY TRACK ANALYSIS EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE Good opener, as it prepares the listener for the otherworldly sounds on Kid A. If ...  Read the complete review

Radiohead - Kid A Anticipation is too small a word really to express how the whole world feels about the new Radiohead album. Everyone's talking about it but only a select few have actually heard it. I was one of those selected few for the Manchester airing of the epic masterpiece and its with pleasure I can tell you........we'll ...  Read the complete review

Upon first listen to this album, you WANT to like it. This, after all, is Radiohead, the most experimental mainstream band we have, a band willing to take risks and put theur necks on the line. You tell yourself that its just a case of listening a few times, after all, thats what you did with OK computer, wasnt it? Listen all you want, but this ...  Read the complete review

‘Kid A’ was always going to be difficult. Where ‘OK Computer’ was a stark departure from ‘The Bends’, this is a stark departure from ‘OK Computer’. And add to this the fact that no singles were going to be released from it, it was always going to prove to be a little troublesome… ...  Read the complete review

This review is written shortly after the release of amnesiac, which has served only to strengthen my love of the album in question. Kid A is without a doubt, the perfect follow-up to OkC. The power of the overall piece reflects both thom's agitation/self-doubt post-okc. "Everything in its right place" is simply beautiful, building ...  Read the complete review

There is something about Radiohead, they just seem to be able to do what needs being done. Kid A, the long awaited (three year) follow up to what many call the best album of all time, OK Computer, measures up uniquely as the progression of all their previous albums. At first listen, one eyebrow raises. Does anybody really like a Radiohead album on ...  Read the complete review

The first time you hear this album you will think OK Computer is the most natural comfortable album to listen to. This album is full of ne, tuneless songs. The average Radiohead listener may find it intimidating at first, but it grows on you just as Ok Computer did. It is full of hidden tunes, as in Everthing in it's right place - a beautiful ...  Read the complete review

Kid A was an album that recieved so many mixed reviews that I thought its about time I wrote my opinion and added my views. I must admit, they have produced some cracking tunes in the past if somewhat depressing. Creep must live forever as a masterpiece by Radiohead as wil the haunting street spirit. I was therefore hoping to find ...  Read the complete review

Ah! Radiohead, forever changing, forever experimenting and defying lazy journalistic labels. When will they learn to settle down and remake all their hits again and again? Mainstream artists are not meant to be that way. Thank whoever you worship they don't, because change is a a very good thing. Like the change from tyranny to democracy and ...  Read the complete review

A fair few people would describe this album as any of the following... Wierd, Wierd, Strange, Wierd, Depressing or Scary. I can see how a lot of people will think this, but are they listening to the album? are they approaching it with an open mind? I must say that i am a very open minded person and i think that's one of the reasons ...  Read the complete review
