Kid A is not easy on non-Radiohead fans, but it has some breathtaking tracks that make it a worthwhile buy for fans and newcomers alike. In this new project the band have assembled an eclectic range of lyics, harmonies, sounds and themes - which come together to form a really excellent new album. There are the familiar haunting, soul searching, difficult and sometimes depressingly melodramatic lyrics but they are mixed with a fresh new approach and some very innovative electronic sounds that feel like ‘natural sounds’. The vocals in "Everything in Its Right Place" and electronic beats and harmonies in "Treefingers" and "Idioteque are simply brilliant. The title track “Kid A” is pure vintage Radiohead but my favourite track has to be “Morning Bell”. If you’re unsure, new to the band then rent the album from a record library or loan from a friend. For Radiohead-fans….what are you waiting for ? this is a brilliant album ranking alongside ‘OK Computer’ go get it and marvel in this new project.
