An interesting musical study would be to compare the directions of Parlophone bands Radiohead andBlur. The latter's last album, 13, was so obscure that some critics were writing the band off as past it and artsy-fartsy. Others, myself included, loved it ...more

The A.V. Club

Radiohead's incremental advancement from alt-rock mundane to art-rock majesty was beautiful to behold because the group so carefully calibrated each of its changes. With The Bends , Radiohead paved over the largely inconsequential neo-grunge of Pablo ...more

sample: Idioteque I like my music contrary, but this is a dreadful album. It's exactly the sort of pretentious crap you'd expect Radiohead to come out with. Many pop groups turn out this way: somehow, writing brilliant, catchy songs that millions of ...more

The Austin Chronicle

"I've lost my way," howls Thom Yorke in "In Limbo," exactly where many loyal Radiohead-heads may find themselves -- especially if they were expecting anything akin to the guitar-driven anthems which captained the band's first three records. Even 1997's ...more

Yahoo! Music

Let's give Radiohead the benefit of the doubt. Let's assume that when the Oxford five began making their latest album, they didn't consciously intend to produce something that would sort out the true believers from the OK Computer bandwagon jumpers. ...more

Yahoo! Music

Instead of simply adding club beats or sonic collage techniques, Radiohead strive to incorporate the unsettling "intelligent techno" sound of Autechre and Aphex Twin, characterized by its skittering beats and stylishly dark sonic surfaces, for Kid A. To ...more

Over the last year or so, the Billboard charts have been dominated by mainly pop and hip-hop (not counting Santana, of course). The fact that a CD like Radiohead's latest effort can debut at the top of the charts is quite a surprise. There are no ...more

Drawer B

Kid A challenges the idea that electronic music will never be as emotional as guitar music. Does it succeed? Well, yes and no, but either way it�s going to be the blueprint for bands that continue the assimilation of rock and electronics. Take ...more
