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."
