First Radiohead album I listened to, because of that I wasn't wholly surprised by Radiohead's change of sound. Outstanding and agonisingly jarring listen, but it's still tolerable.

It took a few listens for me to fully appreciate this album as the emotional, beautiful masterpiece that it is.

One of the best of the decade, but not quite surpassing OK Computer.

Re-listened to it, and it's growing. Absolutely love the first half, but then it trails off a bit... Still far ahead of OK Computer. Works really well as an album.

takes quite a few listens for its beauty to unfold. i recommend anyone who disliked this to listen to it a few more times if you haven't already, if you have fair enough :)

Sorry, I must be missing something with this album. I bought it when it was first released due to all the hype. I put it on and remember I thought, what a load of old toss. It was then thrown to the back of the boxes never to be be played again. Until now. My music taste has probably widened in the 10 or 12 years since it's release but not that wide. I converted this into mp3 and played it. Unfortunately I couldn't stomach it more than half way through and turned it off. I just don't get why this is in the top ten albums of all time on this site????????

Incredibly melancholic, including fantastic tracks such as 'How to Disappear Completely', 'Idioteque', and 'Treefingers', but quite a lot are very boring.

I credit this album for getting me into electronic music. It's a really close toss up between this and OK Computer, but ultimately I just feel that Kid A just flows more cohesively and packs a greater emotional punch.

An important leap-forward in musical production and performance. An incredible which is significantly highlighted given as it comes from an era in music in which hip-hop and nu-metal were the mainstream norm. A herculean effort that must be heard by everybody at least once. Though many will most likely right it off as experimental nonsense (as i originally did) it is a journey that must be persevered so that you can come out at the end and have your life changed for the better. Brilliant. Only a band like Radiohead can follow-up a masterpiece by making another (possibly even greater) album.

Didn't strike me the first time, found it weird and pretentious.
Then took me quite a long time to figure out what Kid A was about or what I think is about but that's my opinion. I was upset 'cause a lot of members here praise this album, and I couldn't figure out why it was so "great" ! Why ? Have I not seen what was obvious for others ?! So I listened it 3-4 times in a row. I think Kid A is a good album. Why so ? 'cause it sounds way ahead of it's time and Radiohead went where nobody was expecting them : electronic space mood strange spiritual music or whatever you call it. The intro with the fender rhodes sets the mood for the following events on this album. My personal favorites are Optimistic and In Limbo but Kid A has to be listened entirely.
Of course this is my personal opinion.
