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. How's THAT for a pretentious wanker comment?Also want to agree that Lazer Guided Melodies is a great great disc. Similar narcotic effect as MBV Loveless.

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.thought the Bends was just boring.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.that goofball DVD, Meeting People is Easy (?), has to be the most pretentious thing I've ever watched, to the point of pure humor.that's my radiohead rundown, for all who care.

It is just far enough off center to keep you guessing but retains that "Rock" feel that the later stuff lost (except Our National Anthem with is great).

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.

You don't get all of it on first listen with a band like… say… Coldplay. I am hardly the most rabid Brit-pop fan on the board. [This message has been edited by jadetree (edited 02-17-2003).]

It was more of a foray into noise and pretentiosness for me. Then again I like my pop.As for oasis, I rather like heathen chemistry. Although I agree they have become rather boring by not progressing beyond the early beatles songbook.Still they have some great hooks though.

markie, pal, the fact that you don't like kid a doesn't make me pathetic. it make's you blind. i might even take under consideration something you had to say about radiohead if you hadn't pulled that little stunt, and if you didn't attempt to accuse radiohead of something the gallagher brothers have perfected. nice try, but next time just don't try.

Then I will try and defend whatever I may or may not have said earlier. As it is I have no idea what you are talking about, or trying to get at.

man guys. you are really tearing me to shreds arent you? prying apart my grammar is a really effective way of proving your point. By the way, no, i didnt mean deaf, and i didnt mean literally blind. im sure you knew that as you are clever enough to point out the undeniable incoherence in my last post (due largely to me being very tired). i can see i am out of my league with you brit-poppers.
