Doug’s Reviews > This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century > Status Update

A lot of reviews on this book fall on the negative side but am actually enjoying it for the interview references, unique and interesting (???) comparisons to other bands’ works.

Finished Robot Boy chapter… interesting thought to look at radiohead alongside linkin park. I’m not sure I followed it entirely.

Starts to dive into how Radiohead embraced the internet and streaming albeit illegal ABs were fine with that.

“Kid A was a grand digression from the guitar-rock splendor of prev albums, The Bends/OK Computer…A self-consciously "difficult" work meant to usher Radiohead into a new century, though it also struck many listener: merely a pretentious, anti-pop provocation.”
"Kid A is like getting a massive eraser out and starting again”
