Radiohead - Kid A (2000)

After the massive success of their big breakthrough album "Ok Computer" one might expect Radiohead to sit back and try to capitalize on it's success with a clone album. Instead the band gets even more experimental with "Kid A". They drop much of the guitar out of the mix and instead focus even more on electronic music. The result is another winner that is a treat to listen to on a good stereo system or especially with headphones. From it's opening line "today I woke up sucking on a lemon", to it's closing notes the album is another testament to modern intelligent progressive rock. The band even ad a horn section to the mix in songs like "A National Anthem" to mix it up even further. Although "OK Computer" remains the band's masterpiece I like this one almost as well. It is another step forward in the evolution of Radiohead.-- Amazon User Review

Radiohead - In Rainbows (2007)

On the deliriously satisfying In Rainbows, Radiohead returns to a more straight-ahead (though subdued) rock sound. Much hubbub has been made about this record's innovative release. Radiohead allowed fans to pay what they wished to download fairly low-resolution tracks from the band's own website. Like so many innovations, it already seems funny both that it was such big news and that someone else of similar stature hadn't done it sooner. Some pundits were appalled that it took awhile to download the tracks if you tried to do it at the same time as thousands of other people, while others decried that the group was trying to kill the music industry (or save it). Little of the press seemed to focus on the record itself, which actually made sense because it was so entertaining and inviting, the most low-key album Radiohead has made to date. There's even a very straight-forward, simple, silly little love song, "House of Cards." It might be a bit lethargic, but the simple instrumentation of electric guitars, bass, and drums is lovely as heck. A handful of these tunes enchanted fans for years before finally being committed to computer "tape." This is particularly fitting as In Rainbows is the group's most "band"-sounding album since OK Computer. This is not a record that hits you over the head with how far this group is pushing the envelope; it's simply a phenomenal, well-crafted, and exciting album. As soon as it's done, you're playing it again. --Mike McGonigal
