It's probably the best track they've ever recorded. I can listen to it all day.

Kid A as a whole is still an album i can't get into, Everything In it's right Place is great though.

Fixed.

All of my opinions on Radiohead seem to be the opposite of everyone else.

My favorite track on Kid A is Idioteque. But there's not a song on there that I don't think is brilliant.

Every song other than Optimistic is absolutely essential to Kid A. If you switch out Optimistic with Pyramid Song or Like Spinning Plates I think you have the best album of all time. Optimistic just sticks out like a sore thumb, more so than Electioneering on OKC.

I love Electioneering and I think it's great on that album. It's quirky.

I like Optimistic on Kid A; it's got a more abstract theme to it, like all of Kid A pretty much does. The only reason it sticks out is because the music wasn't as weird as the rest of it was; it had the Alternative Rock sound while everything else has the more... experimental sound. I think Electioneering sticks out like a sore thumb much more than Optimistic because of its more (how I would describe it) poppy/upbeat kinda sound to it. Optimistic is downbeat, like Kid A's all around theme is.

Speaking of Electioneering: I'd like to contradict my earlier statement that I thought it was filler; while it may stick out like a compound fracture, its lyrical content very much matches the album's all around lyrical content and is just more of a break in the mood. That's why I think it sticks out more than Optimistic; musically, it contrasts, but the lyrical content is still matching to the rest of the album. Optimistic sounds like Kid A in the downbeat, abstract-lyrics sense, but has the more Alternative Rock Radiohead thing going msuically.

Default Radiohead

Possibly one of the greatest bands of all time?
They are back in the studio working on the follow up to 2007's "In Rainbows."
Should be pretty great.
