KID A

After the success of "OK Computer", which however was not a commercial album, Radiohead decided to direct to (once again) another direction... In Kid A, guitars are replaced by electro synth sounds. Basically the trend that could be detected in OK Computer, has been confirmed and amplified here.

The result of this experimental music is weird. I started to appreciate this album after numerous listenings, because it is very difficult for me to appreciate electro music. This album as a whole is pretty good and homogeous, but not the masterpiece that some reviewers describe

In my opinion, Kid A is not Radiohead best album ("The Bends" & "OKC" are better IMO), even if it is certainly their most progressive one. If Radiohead had made only one album selecting the best tracks of "Kid A" and "Amnesiac", this album would have been a great one.
