      Yeah Jonny definitely arranged the strings. He did a LOT more than that. According to Thom the song Kid A was actually written by Jonny. Which means he probably did a LOT on that song, including playing the vocal melody with his Ondes Martenot which they ran Thom's voice through for that song. Yeah, Jonny did a lot on this album.

    You're probably gonna see In Rainbows and Ok Computer a lot (amazing albums) but my personal favorite is their most recent album A Moon Shaped Pool, it holds such a special place in my heart because of it's topics. When I was in the roughest part of my life a couples months ago, that album was there and as cold and depressing as the album sounds sonically, I somehow found comfort in all the tracks, idk there was just something about it, wish I could listen to it for the first time again, a lot of fans say it's their most gorgeous album sound wise and I agree. 11/10

    I really appreciated that they didn't just do a sequel to OK Computer...which had been heralded as one of the most important genius works of that decade, along with Nirvana 'Nevermind', Pearl Jam, and Tool's Aneima. KID A had nothing in common with 'Ok', they took a whole new approach, and drew inspiration from German bleep minimalists such as NEU!, Kraftwerk, and Holger Zukay, allowing the guitars and basses to be a part of the electronic tapestry, instead of dominating with full chordal blocks that tend to dictate and lead the way of the harmonic arrangment in Rock composition. 'Paranoid Android' for example, was built entirely from the guitar chords and was probably written entirely on acoustic guitar. But with KID A, they made it very clear that they were creating an 'album' and the songs and production choices were carried out to serve the whole post-apocalyptic world of broken machines and broken people in an awkward alliance.

    Great reaction! Glad I found this hidden gem of a channel.
    You picked a challenging record for your first Radiohead experience. Kid A was an album I could not fully appreciate my first few listens - it was unlike anything I’d ever heard before and there’s a lot going on. It’s like a fine wine that gets better the more you listen to it.
    As others have mentioned, I would recommend The Bends (1995), Ok Computer (1997), and In Rainbows (2007) next. Personally, I feel it would provide more insight and context to start with the older albums first, to see their evolution.
    The abrupt shift Radiohead took in their sound from the more commercial-friendly OK Computer to the challenging, often bleak and anxiety/depression-ridden Kid A (no guitars whatsoever until the fourth track) sent shockwaves through the music industry, and Kid A remains probably one of the most contentious albums ever released to this day; some love it, some hate it.

    My 23 year old story of Radiohead loving began from Kid A. Which is kinda weird. Not Ok Computer (i was15 when it was released) but Kid A. Lots of people around me at the time thought i was a drug addict, because they thought no one in their right mind would listen to this kind of music. I was an author in russian version of New Musical Express magazine at the time, so it was hard to fight with those who adored new rock revolution with Strokes, Vines, White Stripes etc. But i fought bravely. They didn't even fire me.
    Now, 23 years later, i'm a screenwriter looking forward to direct my first tv-show and i hope i can use The National Anthem in most tense moment of the show. Kid A made me see music in a whole different way and i will forever be grateful for it.

      @@cavemanjack They are the only band that I can think of that 8 of their 9 albums do not sound alike and all 8 after the first one is some fans favorite album. The are a lot of great Jazz and even Classical covers which you really do not see that much in a rock band although I would say that they are a genre unto themselves and they play everything brillantly live with no pre-recorded sounds. Seeing them live is something I would highly recommend the two stellar basement sessions is where I would go next start with In Rainbows from the basement with the added bonus that you can react to the whole session in full and it will not get blocked.

    Really enjoyed watching you take in Kid A for the first time. When it first came out, it really was a challenge to take in due to it being such a new and unexpected sound from them. However I think because of the many bands that were inspired by this, 20 years later it’s probably not such a challenge. Have just subscribed and look forward to your further reactions from Radiohead and other bands! Keep going mate

    A moving art piece is the best reaction I’ve heard to this album. Trippy trippy.
    Welcome to your next music life caveman.
    You will disappear completely, find yourself in limbo , but stay optimistic as you soon discover everything in its right place. You will not see their version of the national anthem in any motion picture soundtrack, but you may have bad dreams of tree fingers. May kid a rouse you before the morning bell.
    They will go down as the greatest jazz band of all time.

    I would highly recommend these radiohead albums
    - OK Computer ... A brilliant dystopian journey
    - In Rainbows ... An experiment in rhythm
    - A Moon Shaped Pool ... A beautifully haunting album
    Those would be my next top 3 however I would recommend to take to the time to hear all their music.

    I encourage another listen of Kid A. This time, on your own, laying down on your bed, closed eyes in a dark room. I like to think the album is split in two halves. Tracks 1-4, 5 is a palette cleanser for 6-10. Like you, Kid A was my first full album experience of RH & I didn’t know what to expect. It has become my fav album of all time. Loved the reaction! As others have said, Ok Computer or In Rainbows should be next!

    A couple of things; 1. Great reaction! many have said it already, but this isn’t exactly the easiest first Radiohead album. 2. I really admire your interactions with the comments. It’s nice to see a creator actually engage with viewers. 3. I haven’t seen anybody here mention it yet, so I will. Treefingers, despite what you may think, is 100% guitar work and isn’t actually a synth. Just a nice fun fact for you!

    The sound landscape of this record is so incredible but you really should have really started from the beginning so you could have seen the quantum leap they took from album to album. Their journey was very Beatles-like that is the band I most compare them too. You missed the shock that this album caused I actually stopped listening to them for years after the album that came out after this one which was recorded in the same sessions. They pissed me off with this record because I wanted OK Computer part 2 and I got this I hated it. Years later after seeing the basement session for In Rainbows I revisited all their work and was stunned by how amazing their discography is needless to say I loved this record when I was ready for it. Radiohead is the only band that I love almost all their music and the handfull that I do not love I can still appreciate the ideas that went into it even their b-sides.

    If you like video games, you might be interested to know that just last year Radiohead released the "Kid A Mnesia Exhibition" for FREE (!!) on PS5/Mac/PC, which is a walking simulator/visual representation of the sounds of Kid A and its follow-up album Amnesiac, based on the various artworks the band did around that era. If you've ever wondered what a playable visual representation of How to Disappear Completely would look like... it's a mindblowing experience and incredibly faithful to the whole dark/beautiful/surreal atmosphere of Kid A. I myself am not a gamer or anything but I easily lost an entire afternoon just wandering around and it actually increased my appreciation for the albums as a whole.
