Kid A

In the aftermath of their breakthrough epic OK Computer, Radiohead delves further down the experimental rabbit hole, embracing electronica and moving away from conventional song structure. The result is yet another triumph, as it includes elements of jazz (“The National Anthem”) and ambient atmospherics (“Idioteque”). Even with all of this experimentation, Radiohead still finds the time to craft a wonderful pop song in “Optimistic.”
