Kid A
Amnesiac
Hail to the Thief
In Rainbows

This is not a parody thread. I had never listened to anything after OKC, because I've never found OKC to be anything outstanding. Enjoyable, but nothing I live for.

I was very pleasantly surprised with Kid A and In Rainbows, and I'm going to listen to all four in order again here probably this weekend.

/FUFAIL

...not on hearing them, but for actually listening to them. I've had a sealed copy of amnesiac I got for free that I've never even opened.

Never got the Radiohead bug...

Wow, that's so impressive. Are you jacking off to a picture of yourself right now?

Fu - I used to really enjoy listening to The Bends, OKC, and Kid A in order. Maybe give OKC another shot sometime later?

Kid A and In Rainbows are indeed very good albums. Hail to the Thief is just OK.

In Rainbows has really grown on me. "Reckoner" which seemed very boring at first, I now realize is awesome. Love that guitar bend.

Yeah, I'm a huge Kid A fan. I think it's their best album by far.

To be fair, I only heard In Rainbows once but didn't catch anything that made me want to revisit.

In Rainbows has a few choice tunes and is overall a good record, but not my favorite in the Radiohead discog. It's better than Hail to the Thief.

Not now, but I might do it again in another 15 min. or so... Thanks for thinking about that image.
