was a success both critically and commercially, and they followed it up with an album of epic prog-rock, OK Computer, that would have destined a lesser band to commercial failure and, eventually, obscurity. Instead, it was almost universally hailed as one of the finest albums ever recorded. So it should come as no great surprise that their fourth album, Kid A, is even more experimental, owing a debt to the studio-born soundscapes of Brian Eno, Aphex Twin and even later Talk Talk. Kid A is an album that would not sound out of place on the Warp Records roster, as keyboards, sequencers and electronic effects take the place of guitars on most tracks (particularly unusual for a band that boasts three guitarists). In fact, this is an album that succeeds without rock's bombast, from the looping keyboards of album opener "Everything In Its Right Place" to the bouncing, bass-led "The National Anthem" to the album's hauntingly atmospheric highlight, "Idioteque". Meanwhile, more traditional Radiohead tracks like "How To Disappear Completely" and "Optimistic" offer a natural bridge between the electronic noodlings of Kid A and the (slightly) more mainstream-sounding OK Computer. Radiohead may well be the most innovative popular band since the Beatles; as such, Kid A represents the most successful evolution of a major British act since Sgt Pepper's. --Robert Burrow

Advantages: three amazing movies Disadvantages: not so great extras
specially made for the collector?sedition detailing how the films were made. The booklet comes complete with pictures but in all honesty takes about ten minutes to flick through. Overall I cannot recommend the Die Hard Trilogy enough. Presented in 5.1 Dolby surround sound it sounds amazing, and all three of them look fantastic too! All three are genuinely exciting, keeping you on the edge of your seat right until the last moment. All in all these are an absolute classic and seriously worth the money! Well done 20th Century Fox for producing such a good box set. ...
Advantages: It's PERFECT Disadvantages: Pretend from other artists this perfection
Disappeared. Faded. Radiohead had gone away. Away from applauding crowd, away from servile chorus of critics. Away from the business that want to label you, just to sell you better. Far away, hidden in the ethereal web, in a .com, for many months Thom Yorke didn't compose anything. Then had come sampled rhythms, electronic plots and new writing methods. With OK COMPUTER, the immersion in the technological world produced songs that searched to decode its influences and consequences about human life. With KID A, is the same technology to speak, let to express itself through the annulment of the musician's personality in the creative process of machines. "Everything in it's right place", declaims the title of the songs that opens KID A, but nothing seems to be as before. In THE NATIONAL ANTHEM", Thom waits over a minute to sing, to perform ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Kid A - Radiohead
Advantages: Very smooth groovy sounds! Disadvantages: none
Well, I have all of Radiohead's albums, as well as Kid A.
I much love Radiohead, Thom Yorke is the lead singer, and I honestly think they are the best band in the world. I play the piano myself, and I have managed to play some of Radiohead's songs on the piano, bear in mind they are a very complex, and a very queer band.
But this is exactly why I like them so much. On this Album, there are 10 songs:
1. Everything in it's right place
2. Kid A
3. The National Anthem
4. How to disappear completely
5. Treefingers
6. Optimistic
7. In Limbo
8. Idioteque
9. Morning Bell
10. Motion picture soundtrack
The first song is very much of a groove based song. Sounding very influential to Miles Davis, the jazz performer.
They use words like ''yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon''.
Sounds very strange, and almost meaningless, but in ...

Album Notes
1997's OK COMPUTER turned the rock world on its ear by bringing visionary neo-prog rock touches to a Britpop format. Consequently, KID A was one of the most anticipated releases of its era, especially since Nigel Godrich, the man behind the mixing desk for the previous album, was again on hand for this outing. On KID A, Thom Yorke's passionate wailing is put through the aural wringer, and the band's previous nimbly orchestrated full-frontal sonic assault is replaced by full-frontal electric piano, to iconoclastic effect. The ambient underpinnings and garbled vocals of "Everything in Its Right Place", and the instrumental "Treefingers", the electronic beats of "Idioteque", and Yorke's processed voice on the title track will come as quite a shock to diehard '70s rockers who spent the late '90s deifying Radiohead as heirs to the Pink Floyd throne. But these touches work brilliantly, while the more organic elements, such as the jazzy horn section on "The National Anthem", and the comparatively conservative arrangement (though there's some unsettlingly atonal orchestration lurking here, too) of "How to Disappear Completely" provide a counterpoint to all this incipient modernism.
