Kid A vs Mark Beaumont?

Casually reading some articles online and strolled upon this:

Mark Beaumont, who I've never been much of a fan of (although respect him telling it how he thinks it is, even if it isn't!), re-reviews Kid A...and decides that he was right and it was shit.

I can understand why people may not like Kid A. It took me a fair few listens to realise that it was one of the best albums ever recorded. To say that 'How To Disappear Completely' 'mumbles and drags too drearily' is pathetic....it's most definitely one of my favourite songs of all time.

For the Radiohead fan or not.... it's always fun to read everyone going nuts in the comment section when something like Kid A is being discussed.

For those interested, here is the link to his review back in 2000:
