Radiohead - Kid A

I think they're trying to tell me something. I'm not sure, I get

Came in a cardboard envelope with no additional protection. Cases cracked and inoperable. I'm only giving this 5⭐ because it's a review on the actual album... which is awesome.

Delivered on time in new condition as described - great transaction (great CD)...

Sounds really nice, great production, get this on vinyl asap.

I listened to the entire album when it was played on MTV2. The next day, a friend at work asked me, "how does it sound?" I thought about it for a while. Finally I gave up. I said, "I can't answer that." It's not a valid question, you see. It's like asking someone to tell you what carrots taste like. The implicit request is for them to tell you what carrots will taste like to YOU - and they can't - they can only tell you what carrots taste like to them, which really does you no good at all. Like all good art, the meaning and quality of this album depends entirely on the personal filters through which you perceive it. I could tell you that the musicianship is exceptional, or that the lyrics are masterful, or that the vocals are excellent...but you know that already, because it's Radiohead, and they have moved far past the point where any of the technical details are an issue. All that's left to rate is the art. And that is judged by a personal rating system that won't translate outside your own little universe. I can tell you something of what it is not. It isn't something you dance to, ignoring everything except the beat while you watch the cute guy/girl across the room. It isn't something you jam to on Friday night with the windows rolled down driving down Main street. It isn't something you use as pleasant background noise. It is art, and like all good art, it requires you to WORK for it. You must bring something to the music, pay ATTENTION to it, sit with it, let it have its way with you...or you will find nothing there for you. As I listened to the album, I had one of those rare epiphanous moments of clarity, where the perception of a work of art that resonates with something integral to your self triggers a domino affect that rearranges a rather alarming number of your perceptions about your universe. After a little while, I smiled, curled up like a cat, letting the music wash over me...and felt content with my universe. I hope it is the same for you. j.m.

Yorke said the album was partly about "the generation that will inherit the earth when we've wiped everything [sic] out. Thank you as well Johnny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Colin Greenwood and Phil Selway and the whole personal as well. This album is above and beyond the world excellent and should be in the thesaurus next to excellent's synonyms Radiohead's Kid A and should be number one. Continuing on, everything about this album is impressive is striking and superior. First of all, this album is influenced by greats such as the Talking heads, Blackalicious, and DJ Krush, only the first two who I have heard of. Here are my favorite tracks. Idioteque is a sample of sample the work of Paul Lansky and Arthur Kreiger, who specialized computer music. And then you have another one of my favorites Kid A, which is extremely electronic and features distorted vocals from Yorke. Thirdly, is the National Anthem soundtrack, which has a bassline and horn section. And then we have the Motion Picture Soundtrack, an astonishing and lengthy ending track which is very slow and grand for dramatic effect. I like the electronic style but not 100 percent because it was really hard to hear the lyrics on this album, yeah Radiohead you got me. It is a mix of ambient, jazz, and electronic influences. Lastly the album is perfect lyrically as it focuses on the generation that will inherit the earth. It also focuses on anti-consumerism, personal dreams, and probably about their personal lives themselves. This is my favorite Alternative album ever and Electronica as well. It deserves to be. Brilliant and impressive throughout could have also been its name. God bless once again. It deserved to win the 2001 Grammy Album of the Year and is true perfection. It is my third Favorite and Best Album of all time and could be the greatest album of all time.

Case came broken, the thing that was supposed to hold the cd was broken off, poor quality of it all. The cd itself plays 45 seconds of nonsense statics and stuff before actually starting the album.

Tres belle édition pour ce double album en 33t/m (2 morceaux par face environ) Le son est excellent (bon système d'écoute et les oreilles affutées) , les vinyles sont lourds, la pochette est épaisse en gatefold. +++ A noter sur la fin de la première face le son est bouclé sur le debut du premier morceau de la face B ;) des génies <3

Love it

Uno dei miei album preferiti, indubbiamente tra i migliori dei Radiohead. Non c'è molto da dire, si presenta come un classico album rigido (non cartonato), il libretto è molto bello ed in linea con la band, stesso vale per il resto delle grafiche. Le canzoni parlano da sé, incredibili, una migliore dell'altra, che fluiscono in modo coeso l'una nell'altra. Un album che se si è fan della band è immancabile, 10/10 (e raramente dò 10).

amazing album and excellent quality pressing
