KID A

all that needs to be sed has been sed!!

the pro - its got an atmosphere that's perfect for those depressing 3am headphone listens, plus it is quite experimental and was an unpredictable direction change for radiohead after the 'brilliant' OK computer!!

the con - motion picture soundtrack is a good song on its own, but as an album closer, its an anti-climax, perhaps done as a joke, which is OK if that is the reason it was done, but i feel a little short changed by it, the hidden track after (genkachildren) is perfect tho, the silence that follows is a little annoying however, it was put there to give u time to recouperate before the album repeats, but that doesn't help me, as i cud never listen to this album twice in one go, that wud just be too much!!

4 stars - 8.8 out of 10 - let down by motion picture soundtrack's anti-climactic presense & the annoying silence that follows the hidden track (tho i lyk the silence between MPS and the hidden track)!!
