In the wake of their third album, “Ok Computer,” it had become clear that Radiohead were paving way for the future of rock music. As a band who push the limits of creativity, they are known for their explorative and restless sound. Taking influence from old style rock as well as electronica and hip hop, each of Radiohead’s albums marks a cornerstone in their musical evolution.
Radiohead’s creative breakthrough arrived when the band embraced electronica, their album “Kid A” takes time to unfold; multiple plays are necessary just to discern the music’s form, to get a handle on quiet, drifting, minimally arranged songs with no hooks. This emphasis on texture, this reliance on elliptical songs, makes “Kid A” the most successful electronica album from a rock band.
