Much ado about nothing.

I'm not sure if Thom Yorke read Shakespeare. I'm not even sure if he reads at all. It seems he lives in a cage filled with different sound machines and makes album after album. I remember I started a thread wanting the people to explain me the greatness of "Kid A". Again, it evoked old argue - "Is RADIOHEAD Prog?" I have my own point here - it depends on what you mean with that word. If you mean something new and unique, then feel free to submit here KORN or BJORK - they're unique and established their own styles. But if you mean "progressive" in that kind we all got use to, then NOT.

There's only one worthy song - even genius song - here. It's called "How to Disappear completely" and it's a Touch of God. Another songs are electronic noises, late KCish jams wrapped into experimental shape, and simple brit-pop songs of early RADIOHEAD kind. "Kid A" seems to be a Revelation for those who haven't heard yet CRIMSON, TANGERINE DREAM or at least TALK TALK, but I wonder why is it appreciated so much by people who have experienced it all already. A Mystery to solve.
