KID A won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. It was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award in the categories of Album Of The Year and Best Engineered Album.
1997's OK COMPUTER turned the rock world on its ear by bringing visionary neo-prog rock touches to a Britpop format. Consequently, KID A was one of the most anticipated releases of its era, especially since Nigel Godrich, the man behind the mixing desk for the previous album, was again on hand for this outing.
On KID A, Thom Yorke's passionate wailing is put through the aural wringer, and the band's previous nimbly orchestrated full-frontal sonic assault is replaced by full-frontal electric piano, to iconoclastic effect. The ambient underpinnings and garbled vocals of "Everything in Its Right Place," and the instrumental "Treefingers," the electronic beats of "Idioteque," and Yorke's processed voice on the title track will come as quite a shock to diehard '70s rockers who spent the late '90s deifying Radiohead as heirs to the Pink Floyd throne. But these touches work brilliantly, while the more organic elements, such as the jazzy horn section on "The National Anthem," and the comparatively conservative arrangement (though there's some unsettlingly atonal orchestration lurking here, too) of "How to Disappear Completely" provide a counterpoint to all this incipient modernism.
1997's OK COMPUTER turned the rock world on its ear by bringing visionary neo-prog rock touches to a Britpop format. Consequently, KID A was one of the most anticipated releases of its era. This limited edition comes in a fine, rigid, oversized high-quality glossy paginated format, with artwork by the same hand as the regular edition, and with speculative philosophical jottings heading each page. No secret booklet, though.

Industry Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - ...A clear-eyed space opera about a plausible future....this 'is' pop, a music of ornery, glistening guile and honest ache, and it will feel good under your skin once you let it get there...
Rolling Stone (10/12/2000)
...Intriguing, eccentric, obviously a grower....It still sounds a mess, but that's obviously the plan...
Mojo (10/01/2000)
4 discs out of 5 - ...Richly sculpted with multi-colored chords, ebbing rhythms, and oddball time measures, KID A floats...through the galaxy in search of musical cliches to annihilate...
Vibe (11/01/2000)
...A genuinely challenging work....a sonic journey... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (10/06/2000)
...An epic audio experiment punctuated with raw emotion and inspiring innovation....an unquestionable masterpiece...
