Not really, its been done before. People just don't like admitting that everything Radiohead does isn't the most original and inventive thing in the world, which isn't even a bad thing.

They don't sound that similar and both those albums came out after OK Computer, hell Geogaddi came out after Amnesiac. So yeah please explain how they sound similar because I've never heard that one before.

You must realize when someone sais done before they do not mean every piece of the album. Many of the elements used are evident in many different albums.

For example one of the latest ones that i have heard is Mogwai.

Uh I'm not talking about Ok Computer. Kid A and Amnesiac both borrow heavily from Warp Records. Look it up.

That's a bit of stretch and it still doesn't change the fact Radiohead did it better and incorporated tons of different elements. You're still not explaining your opinion at all you're just restating it and not offering any sort of explanation.

Uh, go look up Warp Records and listen to the bands on their roster. Tell me they don't sound similar. Until then you don't have an argument.

You're the one who's not offering an argument you just keep telling me to listen to Warp records and trying to act all high and mighty about it. I've heard plenty of their artists, I'm a huge Aphex Twin fan for one thing. I've heard people on that label from Autechre to Prefuse73 and !!!, Battles and Grizzly Bear were huge last year. So fuck off and don't tell me to listen to Warp records and research them because I have and I know who they are. Explain your opinion or shut up and stop acting like a jackass.

I'm not. If you don't see the similarities then there's not much I can say...Radiohead is pretty obviously taking a huge leaf out of the book of the whole IDM movement, Kid A is a minimalist Electronica album without any original ideas. Sure it's a great album and they certainly put their stamp on it, but it's not innovative at all. What original ideas do you see in it?
