What Radiohead album do you like more- Amnesiac OR Kid A? And most importantly, why?

Question

I think they are both solid albums. My favorite song from BOTH of those albums is Everything In It's Right Place. BUT as an album, I think Amnesiac does a better job of conveying a consistent mood or feeling throughout the whole album. My favorite song off of Amnesiac is probably Knives Out. I also prefer the version of the Amnesiac Morning Bell over the Kid A version, although they both are good. Amnesiac was very daring in an experimental way. Especially with songs like (track 4) You And Who's Army and (track 8) Dollars and Cents. I admire that. And I Might Be Wrong was a fine choice as a single. Also, I feel that Radiohead was smart to release Optimistic as the first single off of Kid A. I can't decide which of those two songs I like more.

Answer 1

That's a tough question.

Im going to say I like Amnesiac just slightly more than Kid A.

I think Amnesiac is slightly more catchy, with songs like Knives Out and You & Who's Army? Having said that, Kid A has some crackers on it as well, like Idioteque, and The National Anthem, so it makes it a hard choice, and Everything in it's Right Place is a great song as well.

I agree that the Kid A version of Morning Bell is better than the Amnesiac version.

Answer 2

I gotta say Kid A
But thats a hard one.
