Oh man. That hits me right in the nose. Everything in its Right Place, The National Anthem, How to Disappear Completely, and Idioteque are among my all time favorite songs.

Look - I appreciate and applaud the fact that Kid A was at least an attempt to do something new and different. I have no problem with that whatsoever and I hate when artists get accused of "selling out" or "abandoning their roots" or whatever. BUT...at the end of the day, the songs have to actually be good. It's almost impossible for me to believe that anyone could ever derive pleasure from listening to Idioteque. Serious question: are drugs required to improve the enjoyment? I'm listening to it right now for the first time in years, and good lord, it's bad! I mean, it's atmospheric - I could see it used effectively in a movie or something. But I'm just imagining getting in my car and "putting on some tunes" with this thing...I don't know man.
