iTunes Review
With 1997’s OK Computer, Radiohead officially became a serious hard rock band in search of progressive textures. Their previous album, 1995’s The Bends, represented the perfect balance between pop and its experimental edges. OK Computer would gently toss the pop tag aside (2000’s Kid A would be less gentle with its ruthless artistic ambition). Using their guitars to create seemingly endless layers of sound, adding strangely alluring keyboards and throwing together a few off-kilter rhythms, the British quintet fashioned themselves as both pioneers in their “alternative” rock field and as throwbacks to the album-oriented rock of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Rush, where much of the music’s power depended on its overriding concept. The deliberately disjointed “Paranoid Android” represents the band’s increasingly complex side as it breaks into various pieces within itself and settles for no easy ways out. “Lucky,” “Karma Police,” and the haunting sweep of “Exit Music (For a Film)” are, by comparison, almost motionless in their sonic waves, floating on warm, fuzzy sonic beds. Not exactly space-rock in the strictest sense, but definitely music looking to travel beyond the usual constraints of time and space.

rubbish
by vindubmaybe i'm just a jazz head or something...i had a roommate several years ago before i got married who was/is a dear friend to me, who would ALWAYS play radiohead albums. I hated it at the time and i'm sorry to say that i still do. just recently, over 8 years later i gave these gentlemen a second chance thinking that i was just too young at the time, or just not mentally prepared for change. if it wasn't for all the "critical acclaim" and reviews that i have read on various sites it might be different. I just spent the last week listening to nothing else in my car (and at home after hours) listening to Kid A. I'm sorry, but i just don't see the genius. When I think of genius, i'm thinking McCartney/Lennon, Pink Floyd, James Brown, Prince, Miles Davis (especially miles davis). Were they different at the time? Absolutely. do I think that in the years to come will they be mentioned in the same sentence as the aforementioned musicians? Absolutely not. I cannot understand at any point in my day or life would i ever want to listen to this droning garbage. when i wake up? in the car? at work? at home? good mood? bad mood? sober? with my wife and son? alone? drunk? stoned? There music makes me feel as though someone is slightly choking me, or that i'm underwater and coming up every now-and-then to get some air. Is that the genius of radiohead? if radiohead's music was food, it would provide very little, if any nourishment. Is that what people love about them? they sound whiny, bland, and over-produced to me. i'm not trying to start an itunes holy war or anything,...i just think that they already sound dated and 90's-ish. if your new to radiohead and are looking for something dark, emotional, angry, brooding and yet musically sophisticated, try ANY Miles Davis fusion album in the 70's. When I read peoples reviews about radiohead, it sounds like there really searching for something...if radiohead makes you happy, then by all means...indulge yourself. If you want something a little more challenging still, try any Miles Davis fusion album from the 70's. You'll get jazz, rock, funk, avant-garde,...in fact whatever your looking for you will find if you have an open mind towards "jazz". this review was nothing personal against radiohead. i do feel however that they are not in the top echelon of musicians. gifted yes,...but WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY overrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Introduced me to the endless possiblities of music
by I am (I'm me)Up until to the 5th grade, I thought the only music that existed was the Beatles and Ozzy Osbourne. I was going through my stepdads records and found this, which was very out of place next to Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen. The ambient setting and vast sounds (not to mention the unconventional song writing) introduced me to whole new world of music. This is the kind of record that can help people break free from the confines of normal music and into more experimental territory while not being completely bizarre and unfamiliar. Modern experimental music and art-rock would be bland and uneventful without this album setting the standard.
Best. Album. Ever.
by *Jigsaw Falling Into Place*Words can't describe how amazing even orgasmic this masterpiece is. Radiohead are the best beings sent down by God because this album is sent from the heavens of musical genuises. Best Album Ever. Nuff said
