5. I'm tempted to claim "In Rainbows" as my fave.
Don't know if it's because I've listened to OKC and Kid A a million times, but they seem less fresh compared to their latest.

6. I really like In Rainbows, but it didn't gut-punch me like Kid A still does

8. It is indeed a downer, and awesome, all at the same time.

Amnesiac...here's Pyramid Song

I saw them at Alpine Meadows during this tour I think, sublime. I think OK Computer, Kid A, and Amnesiac are a trilogy of sorts.

13. "rock" as opposed to "Rock & Roll" is the underlying issue here.
Rock & Roll is rarely or never depressing.
