Kid A was one of my favorite albums when I was a deeply depressed teenager. Now that I'm 30+ years old and I'm in a better place I can't listen to any track of this album. :/

I do think that Radiohead, while incredibly talented, are a product of their time and they had not aged that well, apart from a few songs that are excellent by themselves. (I do think the same of Nirvana, that I liked way less than Radiohead) I think Kid A was one of the best albums of its time because it was somehow original and well thought.

In any case, it seems strange to me that music buff would have anything against your opinion. Like, you can NOT LIKE a genre or a group/musician of any sort. Taste in music is very personal and dependent on people's experiences. People who claim otherwise are idiots.
The problem is if you claim that you don't like Radiohead because "their music is shit and overrated". That's not OK.

Yeah it definitely felt like a very, very "I'm in a depressed place" album. Maybe the MOST depressive album I've ever heard, actually. Which is not to say I don't like my fair share of depressive music, because I do. But holy shit, nobody can say Kid A didn't commit to the vibe. Which I guess I can respect it for. It committed very hard to being exactly the album it was--even I can tell that.

I DO really like a couple of Radiohead songs, but they're the hits, so. *shrug*

Ultimately I thought about this a bit more after making this secret (plus I read the Kid A wiki), and it's actually kind of true that I "don't get" the album--but only because I'm pretty lyrics-focused, and Kid A is barely about the lyrics at all. I mean, Yorke himself said that most of the lyrics aren't meant to have any sort of particular meaning; they're basically just collaged together to augment the mood/vibe of the track. And that...yeah, it's totally fair to say I don't get that. The parts of Kid A that are speaking my language aren't really saying much (by design!), while the parts that apparently are very profound and moving are speaking a language I have limited facility with.
