THE REVIEW

I was still in jail for attempting a colossal theft of Radiohead CDs from a local store when one fine day a guard slipped KID A under the bars to me.
That's when I understood music that transcends all rhetoric, that frees itself from being just music to become a state of the heart... that’s when I wrote to that [expletive] of an ex-wife, who I had caught a few months earlier with the carpenter, and whom I had tried multiple times to kill by slitting her jugular with a CD (by what band?).

I suddenly felt more optimistic and capable of loving my neighbor. For the first time, I contemplated the idea of bending at a right angle in front of my Puerto Rican cellmate. Yes, guys, the Radiohead had opened new horizons in me (mental and otherwise), I was finally coming out of that In Limbo of an Idioteque where I had spent the last few years and finally felt everything in its right place.
Violence was leaving me, and thanks to the music of Radiohead, I turned the other cheek, and not only that, to all my cellmates. Now I had Thom Yorke in my heart but something else in...

In conclusion, I should add how through Kid A I met an incredibly hot chick... blah blah blah blah blah, and even though she ended up in rehab... blah blah blah blah blah... she never gave it to me... blah blah blah blah blah...

Thank you RADIOHEAD, my life thanks to you is a succession of fantastic events, guys, never get tired of reviewing them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 "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 Mr_Iko

 Radiohead produce through irradiation up to the bones of the arm, the phenomenon of combustion (sometimes explosion) of the psychological states of the host organism.

 Prolonged use is not recommended.


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'."
