Just listened to Kid A for the first time, and Wow.
Imo the sound is way more interesting/experimental then the sound on OK Computer, and after 2 minutes into the album, i already knew that this was going to be great.
My favorite this far: Everything in Its Right Place, a fantastic track. :)

The National Anthem is fucking awesome. Such a simple bassline but what a groove.

Kid A is ridiculously great.  Just wait till "How to Disappear Completely" (my favorite RH song, and one of my top 5 all-time songs) completely destroys you.  :coolio

Also, Radiohead does all kinds of great live stuff for youtube.  They have embraced youtube and are always putting cool live stuff on there.

I wonder how it will sound =D

Alright. I personally have only heard one song, waiting for the actual album to come out. My friends heard the whole thing already!

Gotta add that Optimistic and In Limbo are masterpieces.
Kid A rocks. :)

"In Limbo" is easily one of the most underrated songs.  It always seems to get lost amongst all of those other classics on Kid A, but I love it.  In particular, that dreamy lead guitar line is just glorious.

Add Radiohead to the list of "kicks" I've been on before going back to school. Thus far:

The Bends - Easily the most approachable of their three best, I think, alongside OK Computer and Kid A. [4.5/5]

OK Computer - A little more experimental than The Bends, but a half-step better as well. [5/5]

So, what album would you recommend next?
The one's i haven't gone through i believe is:
Pablo Honey
The Bends
Hail To The Thief
Amnesiac

I know The Bends have been mentioned before as a good starter, but is it the best to go to after Kid A?

Depends, The Bends is less experimental, more Alt/UK Rock. If you wanna take a break from the madness, checkout The Bends. If you want to progress forward with the experimental bliss, go for Amnesiac or Hail To The Thief. Thought these days, Hail To The Thief gets a lot more play than Amnesiac, but both albums still amazing.

The Bends! There are some really great songs off there like Just, Planet Telex, The Bends, My Iron Lung and Street Spirit.

The next progression would be Amnesic, Hail To The Thief and Pablo Honey. Of those my favorites would be Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, I Might Be Wrong, 2 + 2 = 5, Punchup At A Wedding, Sail To The Moon, You, and Creep.

God, The Bends is one of my favorite albums of all times. Love every song. Street Spirit is especially amazing. However, I haven't been able to get into the other Radiohead albums I have. (In Rainbows, Kid A, OK Computer)

Just listened to first half of Hail To The Thief. (don't blame me, had to stop halfway) :<
Anyway, Sit Down. Stand Up was a great song, 2 + 2 = 5 is also a song i can see getting stuck on my head.
Go To Sleep tho, best song i've heard this far from the album.
Radiohead really continues to surprise me, just when i think the rest of their songs will be worse than what i've heard, a song like Go To Sleep comes on, and changes my opinion. =)
gogo radiohead!

Okey, so 2+2=5 is a masterpiece as well.
I really love just how varied Radiohead's material is, but still not WAY different.
There's still a connection. :)
Thats kinda why Porcupine Tree is my fav band as well, they're just so varied.. and so perfect at it.

Just listened to Amnesiac.
Gotta say i had expected a lot worse by what i've heard from most RH-fans, but i was more positively surprised.
Pyramid Song - epic imo. Had to stop, and listen to it 9-10 times in a row, because the awesomeness.
Probably atm in my top5 RH songs, i just love it.
Knives Out - also a great track.
If i compare this to Kid A, i'd say Kid A has more stand-out songs then Amnesiac. (for me.. Everything In Its Right Place, In Limbo, Optimistic, How To Disappear Completely and Threefingers stand out on Kid A)
But overall, i think this album has a cool sound.
I like how Radiohead didn't stick to the OK Computer sound, but instead did something more experimental.
I'll give this album more time and see how i would rank it against the others. :)

Ratings thus far on my "kick":

Pablo Honey   - 2.5
The Bends      - 5
OK Computer  - 5
Kid A             - 5
In Rainbows    - 4.5

Can anyone tell Radiohead gives me a hard-on?
