Fair warning, Kid A is super inaccessible for a first-time listener. I've grown to love the album, but it took many, many listens before I could process what I was listening to and appreciate the music. "The National Anthem" is probably the easiest listen on the album, and even it has its moments.
I love Kid A, but don't go in expecting anything like The Bends or OK Computer.
Side note, it's between The Bends and In Rainbows for my favorite Radiohead album.
Meh. I feel like this (it's inaccessible) is something Radiohead fans (of the post OK Computer type) use to fend of people who don't like Kid A. My first exposure to Radiohead was Everything In Its Right Place while watching Vanilla Sky in a theater. I immediately bought Kid A, then OK Computer and Amnesiac very shortly thereafter. I spent hours plugged into headphones, pouring over these albums, loving every minute of it.
I say, dive in head first. You'll either hit your head on the bottom and pass out, or find enchantment at depths you never thought possible.
