What did i think of this album Yea Forums
Idioteque was good
you didn't like it as much as OK Computer but you pretend you like it more
you thought it was boring and complete lifeless
Yo faggot you opinion is wrong and the fact that you are a namefag makes it worse, also
>having the worst AM album as your name
Lmao kys
You thought it was another trap banger
It's your favourite album of all time
you thought it was almost as pathetic as my penis
You thought it was good though overrated. Now you feel compelled to listen to Amnesiac and the B-Sides.
You found yourself liking it more and more with every consequent listen. The emotional range and pacing (HtDC -> MPS) of the album impresses you every time. It will open you up to appreciate new textures and ideas in other music that you may not have otherwise.
You liked the sound textures. You felt bored. But you kept listening because you have to like it. You need to get it. You don't wanna be that guy that does not get it. You could be mocked. Those new clothes, Emperor, really suit you well.
The sound of Kid A (Capitol, 2000) has decomposed and absorbed countless new perfumes, like a carcass in the woods. All sounds are processed and mixed, including the vocals. Radiohead move as close to electronica as possible without actually endorsing it.
The first half of the album is their most ephemeral and artificial work ever: the ethereal vocal psalm of Everything In Its Right Place, the distorted musicbox of Kid A (which is virtually a remix of Kraftwerk's Radioland), the controlled horns nightmare over pounding drums and bass of The National Anthem (perhaps the boldest piece here), the new-age orchestration of How To Disappear Completely are songs only because they are sung. What they truly are is flexible structures for creative arrangements; mood-pieces in the vein of late Pink Floyd, with intellectual sprinkles of Brian Eno, David Byrne, Robert Fripp, etc; muzak for those who missed the story of rock music.
The second half of the album, following the brief ambient instrumental Treefingers, is more personal, as lyrics start unraveling angst and anger. And, suddenly, this sounds like Radiohead's more humane work. This sequence, from the distorted guitars and tribal beat of Optimist to the languid jazz-rock breeze of In Limbo to the futuristic, post-industrial spiritual of Idioteque to the Can-meets-Tim Buckley ambiance of Morning Bell to the celestial harps, accordions and synthesizers of Motion Picture Soundtrack, is almost a progression from earthly matters to heavenly matters. In fact, this album is as good (at what it does) as the celebrated OK Computer, if not even more inventive, unpredictable and baroque.
Radiohead are masters of the artificial. Their parable crowns a long tradition in British rock music of putting form before content, of concentrating on "sound" to the expense of "music". 6.5/10
Scaruffi is a fantastic writer of prose. I just can't help but feel baffled by his scale. It's so much more consistent and rigorous than any other publication out there.
He makes Kid A sound like the most incredible album of all time, and then..?
6.5/10. Buy only if you're a fan.
the funny part is that i actually agree with everything he says here but it doesnt make me enjoy the album any less
based as fuck
You thought it was very good but still not as good as pic related.
bretty gud 8/10
It's a 6/10 which means it's their best album
I like National Anthem
cool :D
Cringe and bluepilled
You think Optimistic was the best song.
You thought it was a pretentious wank fest and it was all so monotonous and dull, but you'll pretend to think it was cool out of fear that the limp-wristed nobodies on rym and Yea Forums will think you're some sort of homo.
I like ok cumpooter better
Man I love Kid A
Only Radiohead album above a 7
I'm so sorry you're this embittered by something that most likely has no impact on your life and is maybe lauded a little too much.
worked and seething
seething underage radiohead fan who actually believes arctic monkeys invented the word 'humbug'
I dont know what you think but i think
Comeback! is better than Christian and the hedgehog boys
True patricians know that Comeback! is undoubtedly Christian's finest work
You can tell that he has improved as an artist and unlike the first album which (although a classic) is very much of its time, Comeback!'s tracks have a timeless feel with him expanding his horizons by tackling new genres furthermore showing his undeniable talent and he does all of this while still keeping the emotion and sincerity that made his first album so great
I would highly recommend it if you haven't checked it out
based rh album
spbp
Hid A what?
>implying Amnesiac isn't entirely B-sides
Yea Forums brings it up everyday so it must be pretty good. At least worth arguing about.
You thought that the album was good. Not great. But good. You will now listen to it approximately 5 times over the next month to try and like it to the point that you would describe it as great.
Depending on your mental state, you either loved it or hated it. I only listen to it when i'm sick personally, cause it feels so alien then, like you can visualize a strange other world. Not sick however, its a depressing electronic album with a very strange feel.
