Kid A

I'm kind of worn out from writing so awesome, but I've figured out what Kid A is about, the whole album, well, almost.  Ok, the album starts off with the baby being born into this world.  It could be crying but more it's the whole overwhelming aspect of being born.  I always wondered why he was saying the "woke up sucking on a lemon" line.  Everything in its right place.  Then track 2, well obviously there's a childlike tone to the music like a baby seeing its toys for the first time and wondering what the hell these are but but being amazed.  There's that "slipped on white lies" line that's a bit dark, so I say that's the contrast to the wonderment of the infant, the whole thing of it—the baby—getting life all because the mother was horny one night.  I think it was an accident.  Everything was in its right place.  Get it?  It's a sexual joke, organs and members and shit.  But it could also be a reproductive joke.  

You know what else is a reproductive joke?  You said it.

Then comes National Anthem.  The baby is experiencing the world.  Panic, much the adult equivalent of despair.  It's crying but not really yet because there's too much chaos for the baby to take.  Probably woke up in a market or something.  Then in How to Disappear Completely the baby is really crying.  It doesn't care about the surroundings anymore because it's just crying, oh it's so crying.  It's not yet soothing.

In case you didn't get it, I was talking about myself.

Now, Treefingers is essential.  You're likely to say why the hell is this song even there?  It's just taking up space.  It's like a filler—what is this, the White Album?  Number 8, belch, Number 8, belch.  No, it's no filler.  It has to be there.  This is the comforting part when you're done crying but you're vision is still watery.    You're so worn out from crying that it almost feels good.  You're walking down a mountain, it's easier and you're walking briskly you can't go any faster or slower and it doesn't matter. More profound thoughts are here, too, in this sentence—you just can't see it 

Then the baby, grows up, a little, look out world here I come!  It's strutting , it's ambitious—but what's this?  Try the best you can?  Ah, jeez.  They tricked me!  He's hit with reality, growing pains, mediocrity, the most radio friendly track on the album.

He's still a pretty cool dude by Track 7.  He's in college maybe.  He fucks up a lot.  He drinks a lot of beer.  He laughs a lot at the world, people may not like him for that, and because they're serious and they're marrying Diana.

And in which case, you didn't said it.  You saided, "What the shlam is this momo talkin' about?"

Idioteque is beautiful.  Sometimes he has to laugh at what he sees or else he'll scream.  But it doesn't matter because the world's going to shit.  So what do people do?  They get married and buy shit.  They go to Cancun...and...and they don't take any homeless people with them.  

I don't like Morning Bell.  Interesting title. I don't get how people can get married 4 times.  I've never gotten married 4 times.

Then Motion Picture Soundtrack, beautiful, beautiful.  He dies at the end.  The album doesn't end but no one can say what's happening.  It's just the music of whatever is happening.

I kind of lost interest at my album review when the guy started sounding like me.  That's hackneyed!  But I think it's a good album review.  I asked my friend down the street who also gives me advice on how to get women and he agrees.  He said I should submit it, but only if they give me some money.
