Wow. Pompous much?
Andrew Fleming:
Radiohead are terribly formulaic.
Kid A had its moments, but most else is simply boring and predictable. Especially In Rainbows.
WriterofAllWrongs:
Honestly, I enjoy In Rainbows. It's a very clever album that basically sounds as DynamiteKid says. Comfortable people making really pretty and warm songs. It sounds like after all of the experimentation and poking around with strange textures and timbres and distortion and guitar pedals, they've come to the conclusion that it would be a bit predictable to do something bleak and busy like their other albums. It actively shows that they have the capability to make an album beautiful and romantic without the outlandish use of surprising sounds. I'm not knocking these experimentations at all, though. Kid A is probably my favorite album by Radiohead, and that's how I've voted. This album is more classical than any of their past efforts, and that's what I think sets it apart from Kid A and OK Computer. The songs sound like compositions less than songs, in no small part thanks to Jonny Greenwood's musical influences (Gorecki, especially) and tendencies towards the compositional.

Not sure were you're getting this from. Kid A is obviously very unpredictable (it's not until the second to last song that they come close to repeating themselves). Amnesiac is very unlike Kid A, HTTT is all over the place to the point of being too scattered, and In Rainbows maintains a pretty decent variety of sounds as well (the first three tracks are so different that they really shouldn't be grouped together like that, imo). They all sound like Radiohead, but pretty much every band makes music that sounds similar to their past work.
