Revolutionary. One of the greatest albums of all time. Radiohead continued moving into a more electronic sound and it culminated with this effort and the following album Amnesiac, which is why those two albums stand as my two favorite by Radiohead. The experimentation blew me away and it didn't even take a while to digest the songs.

I have loved this album since I was in high school and it has not gotten old one bit. The whole thing flows so well and there isn't one note wasted. It is one seamless flow of impressive musicianship and all 5 tracks are standouts.

I would not consider this a follow up to Kid A due to the circumstances, instead it is a whole other piece of work from a different dimension and it works just as well as its twin that was released the previous year. Songs like the krautrock sounding Dollars & Cents or the New Orleans funeral Jazz sounding Life in a Glasshouse have the ability to take you on a journey.
