Kid A sucks

I always say and maintain that Greenwood and Yorke are Radiohead and the other members are non existent. I struggle with Hail to the Thief and Kid A is supposed to be more far out so i haven't dared listen to it yet!

The thing I find with Radiohead is that they arent particularly interesting IMO as there are very few time signature changes. They are still a good band but just not as GREAT as some people make them out to be

Phew, well then thank God for the time I played "Silent Night" on a children's dulcimer back in primary school...

Too old (25) and too busy to start playing an instrument to really get the hang of it and too old to get rid of musical tastes I've had since I was 5...

Not too old to expand on them, however... 

Yes and BELVA'S forums are the best around............ check his last creattion!!!!!!!1

i have disagree there Vapour Trails was one of the best prog albums of the 90's - tracks like ghostrider blow my head off!! Not literally though!

Oh well, the whole thing Radiohead sucks IMO

I like Kid A although generally I don't like ''experimental music''.This album though does it for me.If it's not your cup of tea then fine but I don't hear too many mainstream artists taking risks like Radiohead did with this album.Kudos to them for producing something that is both musically coherent and ORIGINAL.

There's plenty of great musicality in there - you just haven't got it yet. You obviously haven't heard real experimental stuff like the work of the composers Karlheinz Stockhausen, Arnold Schoenberg or Harrison Birtwhistle.   radiohead try to be experimental for the sake of experimental.  That's a stinky generalisation - and not true. It's very experimental, but they created the music they wanted to create - as I said, you just don't understand it. All this nonsense about time changes being the only thing that's interesting is codswallop. Interest is where you find it. If you don't find it here, move on and come back later!   "...We kill what we fear and we fear what we don't understand..." (Genesis).

Well personally when a drummer sits there and doesn't utilise the whole kit and sticks to a straight beat of 4/4 the whole time it bores me! But there you go it is all a matter of OPINION!

 I truly wouldn't come back later to Radiohead unless someone paid me a load of money and they are thoroughly depressing! 

So time-signature changes are the only thing that can possibly make music interesting? I'm sorry, that's absolutey ridiculous and somehow I doubt even you can truly mean that in all its implications.

In many places, Kid A IS a more atmospheric album than anything, but that does not automatically make it "bad"--it just means you don't like more ambient types of music.

I think a lot of people around here need to figure out that an album is not always "bad" just because it doesn't suit their taste, AND that others who genuinely LIKE something that you don't are not lesser proggers than you are. This attitude is extremely pompous and tiring to see over and over again. I don't care for the Radiohead trashing OR the progmetal trashing. I like both and frankly, I think some people do it here just for the sake of looking cool in front of everybody else. Others may have a genuine dislike but find the most obnoxious ways to express it.
