better than Kid A desu
>>61903400
When somebody says OK Computer is better than Kid A
>>61903400
I used to think this for a long time but my last listen to Kid A was different. I started with the Bends, then OKC, then Kid A. The album is incredible in context.
>>61903400
Very true but still, Everything in its right place & paranoid android are the only two good Radiohead songs
Kid A is a better and more complete album. Ok Computer has higher highs though.

>they fell for the Kid A is better meme
>>61903400
well no shit, do you actually think people think otherwise?
Kid A is fucking trash. The album goes nowhere, the songs go nowhere and the album has no dynamics. 'Wew I made an electronic album', pls give me 10/10 because we used to play rock and I changed style. Wew I can't write a better album so I'll just give up and do electronic

confirmed Radiohead is touring and doing festivals, get hyped
Amnesiac is best tho
>>61903400
Its true. As far as electronic albums go Kid a is meidocre
>>61903400
That's like saying LCW is better than TM&A. Or Aqualung over TAAB. Or Jam over MPP. They are both great in such different ways that it's almost not even worth comparing them.
OKC is sonically superior but Kid A has fewer flaws (like "Electioneering" and OKC being so top-heavy)

They fell for the OK Computer meme
>>61903844
You must be such a special snowflake
>>61903878
hahaha m8 Kid A is still better with much stronger songwriting and no really weak tracks such as Electioneering (which also breaks the mood) Lucky and The Tourist
>>61903931
Lucky and The Tourist are great. Erectioneering can fuck off and suck a dick though.
Also, OKC's best song is a ripoff of "Sexy Sadie"
>>61903931
You must be a mememaster
>>61903978
didn't know Lucky was a ripoff
HURR DURR I LISTEN TO RADIOHEAD HURR DURR I ONLY KNOW ABOUT KID A AND OK COMPUTER. Hang yourselves /mu/ normies. Don't even know about LP9.

"Thom Yorke (vocals): Right before we started working on OK, I was doing a solo tour where I would walk out onstage and say, “‘Creep’ is a bad song,” and that would be the whole show. I did that in hundreds of sold-out shows all around the world, because I wanted people to understand that “Creep” is a bad and not a good song."
>>61903931
I like electioneering, fuck off
Kid A is a great krautrock album that does exactly what it had set out to do. Even the detached mechanical feel of the album is perfect contextually/conceptually. The critiques against the album like "it's not as sonically diverse as OK Computer" or that "it doesn't go anywhere" are made by those who don't listen to more than a minute of each track on Kid A. Kid A's main thing like other krautrock like Can is the minimalist song structure: where a main part is repeated while other stuff comes in and out. From a surface level viewpoint of said song structure there would appear to be nothing new happening in the music, but especially in Kid A's case, by the time a track's over so much has come and gone that it's not like the music didn't go anywhere or there isn't a lot of variety in sounds.
OK Computer on the other hand is mad overrated. So it's got all these things; all these influences of theirs that they put into the music on the album. I guess that's a nice thing, except when used in the album those things forget the context of why those musical elements are used in the first place. It's like they were thinking "guys look at this song it has *insert artists who the influences come from* we are soooo cool, right?" rather than any real context. I'll give a couple examples from Airbag for example. The drums done on that track are done through beat-slicing like Dj Shadow, but DJ Shadow makes new drumming parts by doing this while Radiohead makes what sounds like another generic rock drum part. What was the point of slicing in Radiohead's case? What context in that song warrants it? If it wasn't generic rock drum part maybe it would have had great context for the album, but it really didn't. Then there's the whole "lets do the start stop bass line thing dub music does" on Airbag, too. Again very pointless because in dub it's done to compliment the percussion in a very syncopated manner to create a sophisticated rhythm section. But none of this is in this song.

You act like an album being better than Kid A is some kind of an accomplishment. It isn't hard to make something better than that piece of shit.
>they fell for the Radiohead is good meme
