Kid A

... Is my first real triumph in the battle of me getting into modern music. An album by the monumental Radiohead, it sounds more sonic and airy than a traditional rock album, though keeps the essential elements of building tension and surprise keeping the listener stay in tune and interested. As the amazon.com review of the album states, this is a album about what we are suppose to be doing in the future and not something worrying about the now. The music sounds like something even more advanced then what is available now - even with its 2000 release date. I, Incassi, as my friends know, are more partial to classic rock tunes and music primarily not made after 1985(idk for sure where I got this number from... maybe from something I read online). However, this music has successfully cracked that wall. The first two tracks are probably the ones I can listen to the most easily thanks to their almost non-rockish sound. When listening to the others... I am probably more judgmental towards them because I have a set way in my head of what rock music should sound like. Thus if they stray away from it, I find those tracks sub-standard. Happily... some tracks on this album actually fit the standard (though not completely). Optimistic, I enjoy almost entirely because of the simple guitar riff that occurs throughout the song. The National Anthem, can take this also. However, its middle "chaos" part does get rather annoying taking its time to get to the expected easing. Idioteque (da broth's fave) sadly suffers some with its repetitious nature. I think this is because it is made with its dance music style backbeat... which are I assume usually repetitious. The last two songs and any other I have not mentioned... give me some time with them. Some might be growers (same with some I did mention). Amazingly, listening to some of it again, I am sadly starting to like the vocals. Even though they have that teenager, younger twenties style to them.

*shakes head in shame... I am liking modern music.
