3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Acclaimed rock critic Steven Hyden digs deep into the songs, history, legacy, and mystique of Radiohead's groundbreaking, controversial, epoch-defining album, Kid A, outlining the album's pervasive influence and impact on culture, in time for its 20th anniversary. Deploying a mix of criticism, journalism, and personal memoir, Hyden skillfully revisits this enigmatic, alluring LP and investigates the many ways in which Kid A shaped and foreshadowed our world. -- Adapted from inside front jacket flap.

I saw this audiobook plugged on Spotify and it looks fascinating, so of course I listened to the album this week. I haven‘t heard the entire album in 20 years and the music has stayed fresh in my mind, but it was never something I listened to often enough to remember more than snippets of the lyrics, so hearing them again (especially with the book blurb fresh in my mind) turned into a very contemplative experience.

AmyG So good. I love Radiohead. 4mo
TieDyeDude Classic album. I'm the same; I know the music, but it never broke through as a regular listen. Thanks for sharing. 4mo

Plenty of pandemic reading time this month, and a warmer than average January in Minnesota lent itself to longer walks. A Dune-o-riffic month, it was. #Januarywrapup

Ruthiella Three Dune novels in one month? Amazing! 😃 4y
BestDogDad @Ruthiella *well* finished - I had a pretty good start on Dune in December but once I got going on them they were hard to put down. 4y

Steven Hyden is a Radiohead fanatic, as you would expect a person to be to write a six-hour / 256-page book centered around a single album in a band's canon. He also spends time giving background on each of the five band members and explains why the work so good together and have been such a cohesive unit for thirty-five years. In short, this book is all things Radiohead, and as a fellow fanatic I loved this.
