Nope.

In Rainbows and HTTT are not groundbreaking or revolutionary, but to say they are "repeats" and introduce "no new ideas"...sorry. Wrong.

How can songs like Life in a Glass House, Everything In It's Right Place, Like Spinning Plates, and The Gloaming be classified as Alt. Rock. To not identify them with Jazz and Electronic Music is taking a bit away from them. For God's sake, Thom raps in "A Wolf at the Door."

of course, but generally speaking: alternative rock

Kid A wasn't even the best alternative rock album to have Jazz & Electronic influences released in 2000, let alone ever.

It also happened to kick the arse of Kid A in almost every year end poll,

lol.

I guess I should check that out then. I've only ever heard Screamadelica by them, buuuuut... it's great!

I said Electronic didn't I? and there's a huge difference between jazz and jazz influenced.

Nope, that's wrong.

See I can argue like you too!

Kid A was interesting, but Amnesiac and HTTT were both simply phenomenal IMO because they each seemed to have in their own way, at-least from my point of view, a little more variety and cohesion respectively. Kid A is still a fine album though....

Also, just so you guys know, I don't consider interludish stuff to be filler on any album once it goes past the 1:30 mark, so none of that **** when you talk about HTTT.
