Kid A, despite all the hate here, is an EXTREMELY good album.

I don't vote against Kid A (four really great songs there), I just prefer () and vote for it, not against anything. I think about music as the full half of glass. And I don't think "Radiohead is too pretentious to vote for", I just said that about Kid A. I think songs after How to Disappear Completely are pretentious and absurdly electronically overwrought ones. This, IMO, is just obvious and present; but you can ignore it if you don't care about it. Originality is useful when it comes deep from within. Otherwise it's just to convince critics.

Can someone explain to me what "pretentious music" is? I've never understood the concept.

I second this. Never understood it either.

I think everyone knows what is pretentious and what is not! When sth (lyrics, technique, concept, polyrythm, atonality, dissonance, silence, a weird instrument, electronic playfulness and etc.) is there, but no-one can make out why it's there other than just to amuse by its freshness and avant-garde manner and therefore to please critics, then it's pretentious!!
I don't think that Radiohead or Kid A is completely pretentious; I myself have been pretentious for so many times. But it's relative; Radiohead recorded OK Computer and everyone considered it a classic after a year or two. Then Radiohead, an Oxfordshire band, became an internationally acclaimed band which just tried hard to live up to expectations and they came by Kid A and Amnesiac. I think somehow these albums were Radiohead+Critics' Expectations. For a moment there, they lost themselves, but they found their originality with In Rainbows.

Sounds like you're trying to pass off how you personally feel about things as matter of fact. Please don't do that.

I think everything I write is my personal feeling. Nobody has to think it's a matter of fact. In fact there's no absolute factual truth in subjects like music, in which everyone's statements are based on aesthetic values, like any other subject which has propositions based on values rather than facts.
