Are you Kid A or Amnesiac person? I get stuck between the two.. cause i love them both dearly...
Kid A came first.. although Amnesiac is the same age.. since they were from the same sessions.. Kid A has the atmosphere sound.. a concept and a damn fine sound Amnesiac is like an art collage which one u dig? its a tough one for me.. | |

i think of 'em both as one big double album, really. there's ok computer and hail to the thief and then the two in between. i don't really count the live album, it doesn't do a lot for me. | |

Me either.. I give him props for having the balls to release a raw album though.. his voice cracks and a lot of errors in the tracks.. most artists wouldnt release things like that... [Edited 10/1/05 13:11pm] | |

Kid A. It's the only one of their albums I like. [Edited 10/1/05 14:00pm] There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

Both albums have great openers.. I'd say Kid A has the best.. but that beat on paked like sardeen cans or whatever is excellent.. | |

It was always Kid A, but I just gave Amnesiac a listen after a long time. I think the tables might have turned! | |

Its blatantly KID A that album is on the same level as Ok Computer. Luminous beings are we...not this crude matter.
Is this 2morrow or just the END of time? The Funk will always b with u "I've got a face, not just my race, Bang Bang I've got you babe!" | |

I prefer Amnesiac overall to Kid A, but my favorite track on either album is "Everything In Its Right Place".
But I also think that those two albums, plus some b-sides, are really part of the same "project". I've been thinking for awhile of putting them together in a different sequence for my personal listening - - which would definitely include the excellent "Kinetic", and the longer version of "Life in a Glass House".

Kid A
It has this lonely, cold, futuristic sound that's really depressing and effective. It's pretty brilliant. Amnesiac is kind of like Kid A watered down slightly. OK Computer is still their best album though. That album's perfect. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Amnesiac. Maybe it's my potential ADD but Kid A is just too fucking boring to be anything classic. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Kid A is boring? I remember the first time I heard that I was walking home, in the rain around 2:00 a.m. back from my girlfriend's house and listening to it on headphones. It blew me away. That band has never released a bad album. Amnesiac was great too. Hard question. | |

Kid A. Amnesiac was a side release for a reason, even though it's still quite stellar. Hell, it's Radiohead. | |

Kid A, because it's so concise and well edited. Everything fits together perfectly on it. I always thought of Amnesiac as a left-overs album | |

I think Amnesiac is a pretty important album.. simply because of the quality of the album.. Radiohead made it clear it wasn't a "left over" album.. just because it was songs that didnt fit with the original tracklisting.. and I can easily see why.. they sound like two seperate times, although it was the same time.. It also seems like RH likes to pull these songs out a lot on their tours.. but I do agree.. If it was a choice... Kid A came first in my book.. and Kid A brought out a whole new musical taste with me..
and btw- ever heard Knives Out on a played in a classical way on a piano? its breathtaking.. [Edited 10/2/05 22:16pm] | |

I dig both of them. I think it's pretty interesting that they were completed at the same trime, but each to seems to have its own sort of homogenic sound. | |

I always felt the same way. I like it, but it feels kinda mish mash. Kid A is a great album and is also the very first album I ever downloaded.  | |

I like Radiohead, I saw a concert of theirs on cable tv a month or so ago. I want it on CD! I can't remember the name or the exact venue but it was in France. Awesome show! | |

I D A All the way. Amnesiac, as similar in style to Kid, took me a while to get into but it's fantastic just the same. Plus it has pyramid on it, which is one of their most amazing songs ever  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |
