Which one do you like best?
Kid A is awesome, but I think I like Amnesiac the best right now... but they're both awesome albums...

you know, people talk about how inaccessible Kid A is, but I found it super catchy and accessible the first time I listened to it...

Kid A kills Amnesiac.. its just incredible as a full album.. where Amnesiac i think has a few stronger songs, the poor ones (Pulk, Hunting Bears) drag it down..

I don't know, after listening to Kid A and thinking it was ok and then not really listening to Amnesiac, my instinctual sort of response was to go ... yeah .. Amnesiac is da shit - or like da shittier than Kid A ..
But then I listened to Kid A again, and sort of forgot why I would think that anyway. So I reckon Kid A comes out top at the end of the day.
But I think both albums are more a sort of personal exploration for Radiohead, which from a WArp point of view is quite lame at times - inaccessability inaccesaschmility ... But from the rock perspective it is at least a nice attempt at something different.
I sort of reckon they were getting at the BoC groove, but like the song Kid A or so - really reminds me [a little bit] of Funny Man ? or like you know, Some Come To Daddy Mix ..

i like amnesiac, but it seems like a broken picture..parts of it are beautiful, but it's not as coherent as kid a..And Kid a has idioteque and morning bell..personal favorites (as well as EEIRP)

nah, I think Kid A and Amnesiac were them walking out into the pool of electronica to there knees or so... the next album I expect will be much more electronica... I hope... Kid A and Amnesiac were just a bit of dabbling... I heard Thom Yorke say once in an interview refering to Kid A something along the lines of "This album is crap compared to some of what I listen to... it's just a dabble, but we are going to go further"... so it sure seems like they plan on going all out with electronica...

Although Kid A and Amnesiac were the same "sessions" it sort of seems like Amnesiac was quite a bit less electronicky or so ?

i heard something similar concerning tom saying kid a was crap, but in the lines of being experimental and odd. how everyone was calling it completely different and he made a comment about how "you should hear what we've been listening too."

If think theres shit loads of magic in the album.
Friends frequently find me curled up in a ball smiling, while listening to Spinning Plates. I think I'm the only person that doesnt have a preference out of the two. I feel like getting off my arse for a bit when I listen to Kid A. Amnesiac, I think, is better apreciated in the dark, sitting on a comfortable bed after a fat shottie session. These albums have their own individual characters so you can't really compare them. es, they were made at the same time. But it doesn't mean shit, Radiohead still made a distinct seperation between the songs.
Um, that is all.

pyramid song is like the best song ever.....
but then again so is every song radiohead have ever done.
they shud have put the song 'cuttooth' onto Amesiac, i love that song.
i dont think radiohea dare going all-out electronic, thom yorke says he misses guiatrs.
they start recording new stuff next month apparently. I for one can't wait!! consistantly original and wicked band

Pyramid Song, Knives Out, Dollars and Cents, I Might Be Wrong, YAWArmy... some of my fave Radiohead tracks EVER. But the rest of the album bores me.
Kid A, I love EVERY track, except Treefingers. It's a near perfect album, and like I said waaaayyyy up there somewhere, it's special because it guided me to Aphex Twin!

I really can't decide. They're both so good. Each one has a quintissential song that i could not live without - Kid A has how to disappear completely, while Amnesiac has Pyramid Song. Both discs rock.

sorry for the "bump" or whatever it's called, but is anyone else worried that radiohead is going to "pull a weezer" and are going to suck now. i all ready think ok computer is perfect, kid a is, without a doubt, my favorite album, amnesiac is great (even though i wasn't really expecting much from it), and i've never really been impressed by live albums (though i do like this one).
... i dunno, i'm just rambling. when kid a came out, i compared it to pink floyd. what do you after you release dark side of the moon (ok computer)? follow it up with another great album (wish you were here/kid a).
argh, i'm tired ... not making any sense to me. i guess all i'm trying to say is, what on earth will they do after kid a?

I don't think there are any solid laws in the world creativity. There is no reason Radiohead can't produce another fine piece of album. There will always be more great music to make.

Not that they can't flop, but whether or not they do has nothing to do with past musicians. It's all specific to them.

i dunno amnesiac seemed a continuation of kid a IMO....i think they shoulda just released a big opus and combined the two CD's. i dunno maybe they wanted to release something right away, and then work on some tracks....i dunno. but whatever the reasons, i love both CD's.
Amnesiac is just a better CD IMO, love every piece of it =0)
