Always considered a masterpiece, today I'm not so sure anymore. The exceptional tracks remain National Anthem, How To Disappear Completely, Optimistic, and Morning Bell, but Idioteque and the two instrumentals also remain and are almost amateurish, which significantly undermines the entire album. The rest I now consider almost good and not exceptional. Kid A is a good album and not a masterpiece. Perhaps with the addition of the best tracks from Amnesiac, it could have truly been one.
