edit: i mostly love the EIIRP version becuase of the After the Goldrush intro

a little tidbit about kid a that i did not discover until about a year ago. There is a hidden booklet. If you open the cd case up, take the cd out you then have to lift the plastic that the cd rests on. when you lift it there's a hidden booklet. I found it a bit embarrassing, because i discovered it after being a fan of the band for like 2 years...haha

^Haha nice... yes the booklet is hanging up above my desk as is the OKC one.. they're nice looking.

Good job on the presentation, Briggins! Very well stated.

 

I actually liked Kid A the first time I listened to it all the way through, and the more I listen to it, the more I like it! But, I had to vote for "Everything in Its Right Place." I just love the melodies and harmonies and how the musical effects merge to form all the little idiosyncracies throughout the song. A close second would be Motion Picture Soundtrack. And Idioteque being third, I think.

voted everything in its right place but it could be any of them

oh and The National Anthem is my favorite live song!! it's mindblowing!!

poor kid a, in limbo and motion picture soundtrack :(

I was torn between how to disappear and motion picture soundtrack. I'm shocked no one chose MPS.

optimistic is really great.

This is by far my favorite RH album. It's so different and brilliant at the same time. I choose Idioteque because is probably the song that made me completely mad about the band (you know, downloading b-sides, not released material, etc). I even danced it when I was drunk, so AWESOME feeling the energy.

 

PD: Cool presentation Briggins.
