It still floors me every time I listen to it. Kid A explores dark depths and wild frenzies, and sometimes coos you into a lullaby. Tonally bold and idiosyncratic, it's a haunting experience of anxiety and isolation. Nothing may ever top this one for me.

The album cover says everything. Distortion this gnarly would otherwise belong on an abrasive metal album but the oversaturation becomes rich and surreal when Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher sing softly, and the drums hide in the mix. 'To Here Knows When' belongs in a mothafuckin museum.

Tyner, Garrison, Jones, and Coltrane are one of the same soul. What feels like an improvised solo from each musician somehow unites in synchronicity.

Nothing to say here that hasn't been said, but I'll say it anyway. The composition of the album format is maybe the most cohesive I've heard.

R&B that's both old school and entirely new. The harmonies are sexy as fuck.
