Can someone tell me why critics love this album, almost all Radiohead fans love it, but it seems at least 50% of people on here despise it? (Or is that just the vocal minority?)

Most /mu/ posters love it. What are you on about?
Because contrarianism
It's a fantastic album

4chan is a website for contrarians.

I don't come here often, but in the few Kid A/Radiohead related threads it seems like half the people there shit on it and half the people there love it.
Maybe I'm wrong. *shrug*
>>65650958
Because it's one of the most popular albums people spam here constantly. There's bound to be some hatred towards it.
>>65650958
Because it's simply amazing

Well, that makes more sense. Forgive me, as I said above, I don't come here often.
It did infact cause a divide among Radiohead fans the time it was released.
>>65651131
Yeah, I've heard that. However, I was under the impression that it grew to be loved by critics and fans alike.

Is it something to do with Fagtano's shit taste? He hates their electronic-influenced work IIRC.
>>65650958
Because its a masterpiece idiot. There still hasnt been an album better than kid a since its release 16 years ago. Hope that helps clarify

Kid A holds the spot for my personal number 1 album, tied with just a few others. And that includes everything before Kid A as well.
It really is a masterpiece.

they went from ok computer to this shocked me when i first realized radiohead didn't just do rock like in rainbows and creep, but then you give it a listen and realize it's really good and has a 10/10 layout with a fucked up good finish
After listening to Radiohead for a bit now this is one of the band's I'm so surprised is /mu/core. Their entire discography is so basic I just don't understand the hype.
it was a cool durection to take on the band's part and also easily marketable as "innovative" but the actual music in it is not fantastic (ironically because of how they couldn't commit to the electronic thing they had going).
It's not a great album really. For Radiohead standards it's good but it doesn't hold up to actual good artists
