Kid A was the album where Radiohead introduced their unique electronic sound. I thought they created an awesome album, filled with quirky and smart beats, freshly generated ambient tones, and soothing lyrics. Definitely one of my favorites from the band.

The album artwork fits well with its illustrative lines and painterly brushstrokes, all within a digital and sharp feel. A nice contrast if you ask me. The colors are mostly muted, blues and grays, with a pop of orange and red, along with a brighter blue on the mountains. Contrast and pop seem to be the main idea here. I feel that translated over to the music very well indeed.

I chose my favorites, the blue-grays. Soothing, rich, and peaceful, these hues can transform any space into a sweet haven of calm. Just my style.

I started listening to Beat Strings back in 2006 when this album came out. There was just something about their music that made me happy. It was uplifting and dynamic, and in many colorfully created. The album cover was a great first impression as well.

With its saturated hues and delicious texture, the artwork pops right off the page and hooks you in. From the blue skies to the red and pink sea, the colors seem to blend into each other like their melting. With a painterly style and comedic feel, it brings a nice introduction of what is to come. An album will with poppy sounds that will make you smile.
