I wish I never knew this album, in fact I wish it never existed.
I don't think, I've ever done a 180 on an album as fully as Kid A. Started off as an album that was pretty decent but nothing of speciality or peak Rh. Then much later it became one of my very favorite albums of all time, and then things changed and I started disliking the album, until I ended up hating it with a passion. I won't go into details cause that would be distressing. But definitely the most overrated album in history, now one of my least favorite albums ever made (probably my least favorite Rh album since even with The King of Limbs' abysmal scapes doesn't actively annoy me).
This was also the album that ruined 88% of their other material for me.

I started out thinking it was just a "disappointment," then I hated it for several years, and now I probably like it more than I did initially... but it's still my least-favorite Radiohead album, and I almost never play it anymore. And honestly, I can't help thinking this is what inevitably happens to bands when they listen to too many post-1980 Scott Walker LPs.

Genius album.
That moment in How To Dissaper Completely outro, when the music builds out with the dissonant strings and Thom's aahhhs' to reach a moment of climax with everything fading and leaving only Thom's voice for a few seconds, only for the strings to reenter, now swelling and sweeping and much more harmonic is what the kids like to say nowadays - peak music.

I did a production analysis of several tracks on this album for a uni assignment last year (tracks were How to Disappear..., Idioteque and Motion Picture Soundtrack). Gave me a whole new appreciation for this album. I don't listen to it that often because it's Radiohead's most alienating album besides maybe Amnesiac, but it's a fantastic listen all the same.

I spent many nights listening to this on a CD player back in early 2000's. It still holds up pretty well, even after got to know and love a lot of the Krautrock and IDM that influenced it. It's one of the few albums that perfectly captured a significant part of the zeitgeist during the turn of the century. It's musically varied and unpredictable but there's a distinctly depressed and nihilistic heart beating through all of it. It also greatly helped heavily experimental music become more commercially viable and I'm happy that it did.
