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

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.

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.
