Horn section?[edit]

Does anyone know the names of the session players in the horn section? AuntFlo (talk) 06:34, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The names are mentioned in the cd sleeve for Kid A. I'll be sure to include them in the article! TheTwoRoads (talk) 22:21, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Album art and other issues.[edit]

Leavepuckgackle1998 made some changes recently, one edit that is in question is their addition of a fan-art screen grab as the infobox image. After several reversions by Popcornduff and myself I am starting this conversation (as apposed to my talk page) to allow Leavepuckgackle1998 to explain their case.

Yep. Additionally, this text:

It initially received polarised reviews from critics[2][3], but has since been, to a large extent, re-evaluated (with the rest as Kid A), in an almost unanimously positive light; the album itself was voted by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and The Times as the greatest album of the 00s at the turn of the decade[4][5][6][7]. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield wrote of the album- " It’s safe to say that OK Computer and The Bends, great as they are, remain so famous today chiefly because they were made by the guys (Radiohead) who went on to make Kid A." [8]

... is poorly written and poorly formatted, and is also a case of WP:SYNTH; you can't merely give evidence of the album having a good critical reception as proof that this track also has a good reception. Go into the sources and find specific mentions of the song instead. Popcornduff (talk) 13:54, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are multiple strongly positive and strongly negative reviews of the song itself in the critical reception section. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 19:02, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
