Radiohead – Kid A
October 2, 2000
Parlophone/Capitol
Rating: 5 / 5
The Music Rag One Sentence Review: This is Radiohead’s masterpiece and the album that they’ll be remembered for, a dark, unsettling, atmospheric, and prophetic work and the modern day Dark Side of the Moon. (Only infinitely better than anything Pink Floyd did.)
Best moments: The ominous “Everything in it’s Right Place” leads into the disturbing, bizarre, and vocoded title track. “Idioteque” is techno turned terrifying. “Motion Picture Soundtrack” ends the album on a beautiful and moving note with a flurry of heavenly, ascending strings.
