eBook
Radiohead and the Resistant Concept Album
2010
Overview
How the British rock band Radiohead subverts the idea of the concept
album in order to articulate themes of alienation and anti-capitalism is the focus
of Marianne Tatom Letts's analysis of Kid A and Amnesiac. These experimental albums
marked a departure from the band's standard guitar-driven base layered with complex
production effects. Considering the albums in the context of the band's earlier
releases, Letts explores the motivations behind this change. She places the two
albums within the concept-album/progressive-rock tradition and shows how both resist
that tradition. Unlike most critics of Radiohead, who focus on the band's lyrics,
videos, sociological importance, or audience reception, Letts focuses on the music
itself. She investigates Radiohead's ambivalence toward its own success, as
manifested in the vanishing subject of Kid A on these two albums.
