Whenever I listen to this album I think and feel like the
first time I listened to it... it was a rainy day, and I
spent the whole day listening to it... it was also a
depressing day... so, I think of that when I listen to he
album...

weird how that happens with music!

I love this album, it was the stepping stone on my way to
the electronic music milky way. I don't like it as much now,
though, other than a handful of mindbinding howitzers on it
(Optimistic, Everything, Disappear). But OK Computer still
holds up for me.

this is how i feel as well. i'm a bit of a late bloom to the
electronic scene, but i hope to catch up.

so you're saying ok computer is bollocks??

climbing up the walls??

and

let down/no surprises?????

kid a is good stuff, but i believe hail to the thief is
their peak and they will never do better.

(not that they won't be good still, just never better in
their live shows) :)

I think Kid A and the albums after are much better than
previous Radiohead albums but still Ok Computer and The
Bends are great. Pablo Honey... ehh...

fair play tro them. in 1998 they were the most famous band
on the planet, theyd just written 2 albums that were already
considered classics. so where are you supposed to go from
there? you start again, you do something different. but kid
a (predicably) alienated their audience. they lost fans,
they gained other fans. but if you stand it next to the bend
or ok computer, kid a is nothing.

Kid A is excellent but i fear it has lost a bit of its
effect for me, sadly...
Amnesiac is even better in my opinion (i don't see why some
people consider it as "Kid A b-sides")

The Bends has the more highlights for me (Planet Telex, The
Bends, Bones, Just, My Iron Lung... and Street Spirit [Fade
Out], in a totally different style...) - i don't care much
about the other tracks on it, but these tracks alone make
this album an excellent one...

Amnesiac & The Bends are my favourite albums. after, i don't
know, between OK Computer, Hail To The Thief and Kid A... i
think i like Hail To The Thief better than OK Computer but i
have a biaised opinion, i used to not like OK Computer that
much and even skip several tracks (especially 'No Surprises'
and 'Lucky'), it was the first Radiohead album i got and i
guess it wasn't the best one to start with...? or maybe i
wasn't ready... i was listening to some crap music too, back
then... Hail To The Thief was the album that got me "back"
into Radiohead, now i like everything.

Radiohead albums ranked in order:
1. kid a
2. amnesiac
3. ok computer
4-6 WHO CARES the rest blow pretty hard, httt has some
redeeming qualities but it sounds like I did the electronic
parts in the songs, and thats pretty bad, I cant believe the
same band who made kid a made httt!

thank you

DJ Xammax > matter of taste. just because most people think
it's the best, a masterpiece, etc. etc. doesn't mean
everyone has to think this way too. =)

kid a/amnesiac are great because they are so much more
different and diverse than the others. ok computer was a bit
of a hint at where they were going, but i really don't think
it was so different that it alienated their average
listener. i like how they continually just did what they
felt like at the time, and it basically told their
close-minded fans to fuck off..
what they did wasn't really revolutionary, and i don't think
that was the intention, but it introduced an idea that music
doesn't need to be entirely straightforward and easy to
understand/swallow or fit into a neat package, to a set of
listeners who had maybe not really ventured out to discover
anything outside what the radio/magazines/tv tells them to
listen to.
