THE REVIEW

Prelude: review used by the author for personal purposes. To reconstruct a system, it is sometimes necessary to destroy the previous system to rebuild it from the ground up.

Radio: 1. One of the two bones of the forearm, on the thumb side. 2. Alkaline-earth metal chemical element, found in uranium minerals, highly radioactive, chemically very reactive, used especially in radiotherapy against tumors. 3. A station from which radio broadcasts are transmitted. 4. Colloquial, an electrical device that receives, transmits, or uses radio waves.

Head = testa. 1. In humans and animals, the body extremity containing the brain, the initial part of the digestive and respiratory system, and various sense organs. 2. Seat of intellect, reason. 3. Seat of psychological states. 4. Individual. 5. Initial part, front, extremity. 6. Head of the internal combustion engine, in combustion engines it is the part that encloses the combustion chamber.

Never was a rock-band name more appropriate: Radiohead, that is, transmission of highly reactive waves, which by entering the extremity of the body where the brain is contained, produce through irradiation (radiohead-therapy) up to the bones of the arm, the phenomenon of combustion (sometimes explosion) of the psychological states of the host organism.
The effect of prolonged exposure to the analytical reports of the ways in which Radiohead have manifested in the real world (fragments named "Review of The Bends," "Review of Ok Computer," "Review of Kid A" have been found in various places and times of the pages you have visited, and the discovery has gradually increased over time) cause loss of consciousness, aerophagia, menstrual pain, gingivitis, and neuralgia.
Prolonged use is not recommended.

Summary by Bot

This review offers a highly critical and provocative interpretation of Radiohead's Kid A. It describes the album metaphorically as a reactive, intense experience causing psychological and physical distress. The author warns against prolonged exposure, implying the music produces a challenging and unsettling effect, rather than enjoyment.

 "Kid A sounds like a fogged brain trying to recall a foreign abduction, and it has the effect of numbing it after listening."

 "Radiohead stages the crisis of artistic expression and, simultaneously, its rebirth."


By Mellon

 The first notes of "Everything In Its Right Place" speak clearly: our minds are overwhelmed by frenzy, phobias, and senseless obsessions.

 Close your eyes and open your heart... on the other side, someone is looking for you to take you away from this hell.


By wheredowegofromhere

 That’s when I understood music that transcends all rhetoric, that frees itself from being just music to become a state of the heart.

 Thanks to the music of Radiohead, I turned the other cheek, and not only that, to all my cellmates.


By TheBlackAngelsDeath

 Kid A is a fresco of the postmodern era. The postmodern era is the ice age.

 The discordant note is represented by Kid A, an imperfect fruit of industrial production.


By JULIANHAMPSHIRE

 "Idioteque is the best track on the album, it’s one of the few that even made me cry."

 "Experimenting is fine, but with the right balance as they later did in the wonderful 'Hail to the Thief'."
