The great refusal: handed the biggest rock audience on Earth, Radiohead delivered glitch, Warp-label synths and a singer processed into a ghost. "Everything in Its Right Place" and "Idioteque" made anxiety danceable; "How to Disappear Completely" made dissolution gorgeous. Kid A killed rock-band orthodoxy and became the internet era's first classic.

About
Kid A is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, produced by Nigel Godrich and released in October 2000 on Parlophone. The album explores genres experimental for Radiohead, as the band replaced their "anthemic" rock style with sounds influenced by electronic music, 20th century classical music jazz and krautrock. A commercial success worldwide, Kid A went platinum in its first week of release in the United Kingdom. Despite the lack of an official single or music video as publicity, Kid A became the first Radiohead release to debut at number one in the United States. This success was credited variously to a unique marketing campaign, the early Internet leak of the album, and anticipation after the band's 1997 album, OK Computer.
