Kid A (Pt. 1)

The Big Mates discuss upside-down ducks, left turns, electronic
music, and Kid A by Radiohead.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career
and discography of Radiohead by tackling their highly
divisive fourth album Kid A. They talk about the writing
and recording process, the context surrounding the songs, and
offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing
perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music,
to not caring for art or critique, and everything in
between.

They touch on how the band forced themselves to create music
differently, the influences they were taking on board at the
time, and the huge pressure that comes with following up an album
often described as one of the "greatest of all time."

They also find time to discuss the nascent days of Napster,
Radiohead's "big tent" tour, and they listen to the
scariest song they've yet to encounter!

How do you follow enourmous success? Is this album as drastically
different as it's made out to be? How do you pronounce 'preface?'
