2000 Album Reissued On 180g Vinyl 2LP!
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 67/500! Best Alternative Album Grammy Winner!
The band's ambitious 2000 release delves deeply into full-on electronica. Intricately layered with dense mixes of analog synth; this album rewards listeners with multiple spins.
With the near impossible task of following up their critically acclaimed masterpiece OK Computer, Radiohead took another bold leap at the turn of the millennium with Kid A, an experimental album built largely around the union of electronica and mood. Musically, Kid A is as accomplished as anything Radiohead has ever produced and its overflowing with eye-opening musical mosaics which are absolutely stunning in their insight and beauty. Kid A initally proved to be controversial as critics labeled the mixture of electronic beats, jazz horns and strings as "difficult" but tracks like the soaring "Optimistic" kept fans loyal and saw Radiohead crowned as masters of composition. A left-field hit, Kid A was eventually nominated for a Grammy for Album of the Year and won for Best Alternative Album.
"Kid A remains the defining moment in the Radiohead legend, and the pinnacle of their trying-too-hard genius. It looms over everything else they've done before or since. "Idioteque," "How to Disappear Completely," "The National Anthem," "Motion Picture Soundtrack" these are the songs that set the context for Radiohead's other music, even (especially?) the songs they'd already written in the Nineties. It's safe to say that OK Computer and The Bends, great as they are, remain so famous today chiefly because they were made by the guys who went on to make Kid A." - rollingstone.com, October 2015
