Mastered at Abbey Road Studios.

Dedicated to Leo.

Review by Apr 13, 2002
good record; for once the misery of thom yorke is covered by some brilliant music, which in parts sounds like a twisted david lynch film s/track.
lots of wierd electronic burbles; wicked album

damm good lp. Everything in its right place opens the album perfectly. This album was a far change from the likes of ok computer and thre bends.
Rated 5/5
Review by DAn31 Jan 12, 2002
oh this record is good, very good
no idea what it's actually about but its a class record
rumours say its about the first human clone hence the name Kid A and others believe its like the alphabet of life like b= birth, d = death etc
This is really determines radiohead for me as a great band

if u have read its a difficult record trust me it isnt really
it might be for rock fans but for electro peeps its pretty easy to get in
Thom Yorkes voice works well here too

a great record to listen to
