Kid A is not only a revolutionary step forward for Radiohead, but for music in General.
Although many people love to say how this album has bordered on "Trip Hop", I think it really is something all on it's own that can only be classified as "Innovative".
Radiohead doesn't seem to move from Genre to Genre, they just move on the path that they have created, and stick to it.
I found that they album is much more centered around the dull (Not sharp) keyboard sounds, and Thom Yorke's incredibly manipulated electronic vocals, rather than the basic "Guitar/Bass/Drums" of the past.
Take a listen to my favorite track, "The National Anthem" while you finish this review.
Radiohead - The National Anthem
My favorite part of the above song (The National Anthem) is it's amazing use of the wind instruments (Mainly the Saxophone). That solo near the end nearly gives me diarrhea every time, no joke.

So yes, the album is incredibly revolutionary, but is it catchy? Will it hold your attention to the end?
I think very much so. Even the ambient, instrument-less "Treefingers" has something of a calming quality to it that makes it very much worth listening to, and even adding to your CD shelf.
The album flows incredibly well, and I think is a must-own.
Gorillaz is a super classic band, and for a good reason. With some of the best combinations of electronic music, featuring artists from Mos Def, to MF Doom, it's a really incredible band.
Their newest album, "The Fall", was even recording entirely on an iPad! I highly recommend they become an integral part to your music library, and I've been listening to them for the last month straight (Religiously).
