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 \u003ci\u003eKid A\u003c\/i\u003e on these two albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marianne Tatom Letts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.08w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253222725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/17\/2010 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarianne Tatom Letts holds music degrees from the University of North Texas and the University of Texas at Austin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39946315268211,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_86e8fda1-ce29-42ef-9eaa-b98cd61b133e.jpg?v=1648313857","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/radiohead-and-the-resistant-concept-album-how-to-disappear-completely-9780253222725","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
