Kid A's Identikit
Thom Yorke: "I actually went into quite a deep state of shock when Kid A came out. I was really, really amazed at how badly it was being viewed. People were calling it "commercial suicide", blah-blah-blah, and saying that we were being "intentionally difficult". That just blew me away because the music's not that hard to grasp. We're not trying to be difficult.. We're actually trying to communicate but somewhere along the line, we just seemed to piss off a lot of people."
As I said, I think the songs are connected somehow, like in a concept album. It works as a whole, the songs were meant to be played together and the artwork really gets you in the mood of what the album should look like
What is Kid A, ThOm?
Yorke: It was nonsense, but then it also wasn't as well. I don't know why it meant so much to us, because it's just a phrase like any other. But for me, it was born out of an unhealthy obsession with a higher form of... well, I'll tell you. The next stage in human development.
Loder: What would the next stage of human development be?
Yorke: I'm not sure whether it's like a genetic thing or [has to] do with artificial intelligence. But all along the way, while we're making the record and recording, all the time we were away, I just kept meeting people that were talking about it. Talking about the fact that maybe human beings are defunct and maybe human beings eventually sow the seeds of the next higher form of life. They're not quite sure on how to deal with it yet, but they have already started doing it.
