What's the Kid A of this generation? An album from the 2010s that pushes boundaries and creates new genres or is its own sound?

You just described TLOP to a tee

il take it.

this.

>>63870208
stfu.
mbdtf is the kid a of this generation. any answer is wrong.
>>63870220
How exactly does MBDTF "push boundaries and creates new genres or is its own sound"
>>63870181
wow kinda

>>63870239
while i also don't agree on the comparison, Kid A also did not at all push boundaries or create new genres

These are all acceptable answers but I would say this or Strange Mercy for aggregating many popular alternative and indie rock and pop sounds. St. Vincent isn't creating a genre, but rather distilling the sounds of the past in an accessible manner.
>>63870150
I don't think this generation's had a Kid A yet, even though a lot of great albums have come out. It's been a long time since I've heard a new album that really changed the game.
>>63870657
how the hell did Kid A "change the game" and how have there not been albums in the past 6 years that haven't done that
>>63870150
Niggas On The Moon?
Kid A
Sleep Cycle - Deakin
Replica
You called?
I know I'll get shit on for saying this but Mt Eerie "pushed boundaries" of sound. Using static with silence for drum beats, Phil Elvrum's unusual singing with pauses and breaths, constantly changing tempo and sounds to keep the listener engaged and on their feet, elegant composition, experimental as fuck in general....I loved this album. I feel a lot of the same way about Person Pitch.
clowns
>>63870698
>2009
>>63870933
Damn, I actually feel the same way. Mount Eerie and Person Pitch are like two opposite sides of the same coin. Really when it comes down to it Mount Eerie is probably one of the two coolest album I've ever heard, along with Daydream Nation
Or you can ask what is the TLOP of the 2000's? An album so overhyped and awful it literally managed to ruin the artists career.
>>63871057
While you speak in hyperbole (TLOP hasn't ruined Kanye's career), you are definitely right about it being overhyped and awful. It was just a shit album for Kanye's standards. Say what you want about Kanye, his albums are always very well-produced and polished. This album was a rushed disaster that he is probably still working on and updating. It has no good songs, only good moments and those are few (bam bam on Famous or chance's part on Ultralight Beam). Fuck TLOP
>>63870307
wow so many new genres!
just wondering do people here think Kid A was the best Radiohead album?
>>63870885
Wrong number
>>63871007
I'll still say that was the one. It leaked '08 if I'm right.
>>63871998
of all their albums it holds up the best
>>63871998
I do
>>63872028
>63872028
kek
>>63872197
>>63872172
i would argue the bends is their best album
>Kid A
>pushing boundaries
>creating new sounds
>>63872028
Lmao
>>63870190
this
Would love to hear albums that sound like kid A that came out before it from the people laughing at the idea that it pushed boundaries
>>63870181
yeah, was about to post this
>>63870150
I'm not a fan but
>>63870181
this is correct
>>63873520
Id probably say something like Cosmogramma over this, which was no doubt a huge influence on Flume.
>>63871189
>no good songs
Your opinion has been disregarded.

The thing about Kid A is that it isn't exactly "unique". And it isn't as experimental as a lot of people make it out to be.
Part of the reason it's ground breaking, though, is that it is very difficult to classify what genre it actually is. It's a mish-mash of IDM-influenced electronica and experimental rock music, with some jazz/classical/post-rock influenced stuff sprinkled in various places.
Kid A is what it sounds like when a rock band tries to become an "electronic band". Which is part of why it's great. Thom Yorke tried to rip-off Aphex Twin but ultimately fell short, and in the process made something more interesting. If it really was just a shameless IDM record, it would be shit.
Overall it's a pop album though. A lot of the songs are constructed in a rock format even if they use non-rock instrumentation, and Thom Yorke's vocals still dominate - often with strongly melodic hooks. So, while the band and the fans have always bigged it up as some kind of Metal Machine Music-esque album designed to alienate the music business, it is still highly accessible to anyone who is familiar with both OK Computer and 90s electronic music.
Also, it debuted at #1 on the US charts. Arguably it was a more popular album than OKC.
>>63870150
Considering that Kid A didn't push boundaries nor created new genres...
>>63873781
This desu
>>63870191
I like the album but fuck off.
>>63870942
Actually, I kinda agree
>>63873781
>Thom Yorke tried to rip-off Aphex Twin but ultimately fell short, and in the process made something more interesting. If it really was just a shameless IDM record, it would be shit.
you put my thoughts into words, thanks.
This desu
>>63871189
i liked the production on 30 Hours it has a good sense of melody and atmosphere contrasting the shitty stupid lyrics. No More Parties In LA is a half decent track. Ultralight Beams, strongest overall track on the album. Parts of Famous sound good. That's about it really. It's an album of filler sounds and half-baked rushed experiments similar to Yeezus but even worse. There's barely anything to it, it's just an overhyped overly anticipated album. The end.
>>63873520
holy fuck are you actually joking?
>>63874225
Took it right out of my mouth. Except FSMH parts 1&2 are also good. And Frank's Track.
>>63873781
>kid a
>more interesting than The Richard D. James album
lol
>>63871998
Amnesiac is better, Kid A is easier listening.
>>63875198
>Kid A
>More interesting than a rip of RDJ
Is what he was actually saying.
>>63870885
CORRECT
>>63875153
IMO, this is the correct answer. But the 2010s are dominated by rap, so Ye, K. Dot, or Death Grips are much more fitting.
>>63870942
yeah, i can agree with that
>>63870698
it just doesnt stop moving fuc off pls image
>>63870181
You fell for the meme dude
>>63873520
>>63870181
Dalek and even Mia beat em to the punch
>>63870942
This. I don't even like vaporwave or kid A
>>63875153
has to be tyranny, Julian did it again, folks
>>63870181
>>63873799
