I've always been a Kid A-fan more then Ok Computer, to me the year 2000 was when Radiohead stopped making alternative rock, and started making creative music.
Because OK Computer is not creative at all?
I'm not saying it isn't creative, but what fascinates me is kinda the journey between OK Computer and Kid A, and when you look at the result Kid A is really unique in comparison.
If you compare it to the journey before, between The Bends and OK Computer, that wasn't AS big of a journey.
If that makes any sense.
But i really love how they just turned things around.
I get what you are saying, but their 90s work was still creative as hell, too.
I find Hail to the thief and Amnesiac rather dull with a few exceptions. The production is lame and thick and there are no guitars. Greenwood is a great guitarist but his keyboard doesn't work well alone.
No guitars? Hmmm, I must be imagining all of those cool guitar leads in songs like "I Might Be Wrong," "Knives Out," "2+2=5," "Sail to the Moon," "Where I End and You Begin," "There There," "Myxomatosis," "A Punch Up at a Wedding," etc.
I find In Rainbows a sort of comeback but the production is bloody awful.
I love the production.
