Kid A

Description

Known for their explorative and restless sound, taking influence from old style rock like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Pink Floyd as well as from electronica and hip hop, each ofRadiohead’salbums marks a cornerstone in their musical evolution. DebutPablo Honey(1993) was their answer to grunge while follow-up albumsThe Bends(1995) andOK Computer(1997) offered atmospheric, almost avant-garde tones.

With the near impossible task of following up their critically acclaimed masterpieceOK Computer,Radioheadtook another bold leap at the turn of the millennium with 2000’sKid A, an experimental album built largely around the union of electronica and mood. Musically,Kid Ais as accomplished as anythingRadioheadhas ever produced and it’s overflowing with eye-opening musical mosaics which are absolutely stunning in their insight and beauty.

Kid Ainitially proved to be controversial as critics labeled the mixture of electronic beats, jazz horns and strings as “difficult” but tracks like the soaring “Optimistic” kept fans loyal and sawRadioheadcrowned as masters of composition. A left-field hit,Kid Awas eventually nominated for a Grammy for Album of the Year and won for Best Alternative Album.
