[sonickteam2]

i am a wanksTA<P>and Kid A is thier least interesting CD, but not thier worst.

I think Kid A a piece of art more like a painting than a CD.  Viewed as a whole it creates a certain picture/impression. I think its great art. <P>How's THAT for a pretentious wanker comment?<P>Also want to agree that Lazer Guided Melodies is a great great disc.  Similar narcotic effect as MBV Loveless.

I don't know you)... but I agree.  Radiohead is certainly pretentious however.  They even tease their own fans with "creep" only not to play it. But Kid A is extremely abstract.... and it took me a long time to like it, but then it just all made sense... now I know how religious people feel.  So if you don't understand, you're only a small wanker... but if you do, then you know... you must be like... cool.

i thought Kid A just tried too hard; it reeks of too much effort in this our 'remix a song and call it music' world.<P>thought the Bends was just boring.<P>OK Computer hooked me in as one of the best records ever; i worked with a guy who would play it twice a day every day for about 3 months and i still didn't get sick of it.  Now I listen to it and not sure what the fuss was about; it is good, but not as good as i remember.<P>that goofball DVD, Meeting People is Easy (?), has to be the most pretentious thing I've ever watched, to the point of pure humor.<P>that's my radiohead rundown, for all who care.

[Joseph Coram]

the lack of "i can hear the heart beating as one" is a surprise.  the people with the negative comments about kid a are just looking for something to complain about. basically saying "hey, everyone recognizes this is brilliant, so i'll play hardball and make people revisit the idea." that's pathetic.

More than can be said for kidder.
