so while we're on a radiohead tip:
what's your favourite out of these two, and why ?
me: kid a.
because: it floats so much better as a whole, and it manages brilliantly to keep the atmosphere throughout. besides, i think the more "experimental" tracks on kid a, are far better than the ones on amnesiac. amnesiac seems like a "compilation" of songs rather than a full-length album to me. still love it, of course, but this fact make me love kid a more. and besides, kid a was our first glimpse at what "experimental" post-OK Computer radiohead sounded like. a landmark album, really.

yeah Kid A for me too... Amnesiac has some excellent songs, but Kid A just seems like a better ALBUM, where Amnesiac seems like a collection of songs that didn't make Kid A... which I guess it is, but hopefully you get my point that Kid A seems to work together as a whole better...

They're both so good..it's very hard to decide. But I guess as for the album as a whole, i'd go with Kid A. You've got the stuff leading up to How to disappear completely (my fave song ever), the nice break with treefingers, and then the rest of the album.

It would be wrong for me to say I like one radiohead CD better then the other. Kid A is fucking great. But Amnesiac does it for me. Radiohead's live recordings is also great.

hmmmm. Kid A is probably the greatest album of all time.. it totally blew my mind for some time after it came out.
that being said I enjoy and listen to Amnesiac alot more nowadays so its my favorite right now.

Kid A is better because - as has already been said- it flows better but remember... in the sleeve for Amnesiac it DOES say that those tracks were recorded during the Kid A sessions. Sounds to me that it wouldve been better that way than to release a double length album. Admittedly Amnesiac does have its moments too (Knives Out, Pyramid Song, Like Spinning Plates) If you havent heard the Amnesiac B-Sides then I suggest you should get hold of them.... especially "The Amazing Sounds Of Orgy" and "Transatlantic Drawl"!
