Though technically this album and Kid A were recorded during the same sessions, for some reason this feels like an more accomplished and more confident execution of the same principles. It's just as experimental as Kid A, but where that album was largely just messing around for the "fun" of it, this one seems to as if they were experimenting in order to actually accomplish something. And for the most part, they did. There are a few tracks I'm not crazy about (for me, the album begins with Pyramid Song, not Packt Like Sardines), but I find myself listening through the whole thing far more often than Kid A. The quiet ones are the best; Pyramid Song is a wonderful piano-based piece, You And Whose Army? starts with little more than Thom's mutterings before getting a bit of an edge, and the fluttery undercurrent of Like Spinning Plates sounds like something on the verge of breaking out.
