One of the year's most anticipated 'serious' rock records also happens to be one of the year's best. Radiohead emerge from self-imposed recording exile to follow up the hugely successful, and very good, "OK Computer" with the rather brilliant "Kid A". Although on first listen a brooding inward body of work, with further immersion the songfulness emerges from the strangeness, and a beautifully constructed and sequenced 50-minute CD assumes the shape of a classic LP. An indispensable piece of modern rock, "Kid A" is not only Radiohead's bravest album but their best as well. |
