OK Computer was a phenomonal album, one of the best ever recorded in my view. Radiohead were depressingly brilliant, with emotional and powerful songs appreciated by casual listener and musicians alike.
And now for something completely different.
Kid A is electronic, experimental and completely dissimilar to everything that Radiohead have ever done before. Radiohead support Napster, so just listen to some of the tracks on this list to see what I mean:
Everything in its Right Place Ideoteque The National Anthem Motion Picture Soundtrack Kid A
Where's the guitar!? I hear you cry. What's all that weird moaning and keyboards!? Radiohead have one something that every other alternative/rock band have been unable to do. Successfully incorporate electronic music into a real band. It's a more political, more experimental Radiohead that maintains exactly the feeling of the other songs despite the radical changes.
Radiohead have become an extremely active left wing band of late, and their website links to the independent media centre in prague (independent media centres show the truth about leftist issues. In this case it was the battle of Prague during the anti capitalist demonstration. They also proved that the real "Mindless thugs" on may 1st were the police who attacked the anarchists and communists, as was the case in Prague). The site also features an animation of money being shovelled into a furnace and burned along with "The Corporate Dirt Archive" with information on evil companies such as McDonalds and Nike.
The first pressings of the CD contained a hidden booklet with a left wing, anti-Blair message. The lyrics booklet is unique in that it features no songsheets. Rather, it contains artwork of mountains.
I strongly advise you to buy this album. It's probably the best one that I've bought so far this year other than Rage Against the Machine's "Live and Rare."
