@nuru0nuru I actually always thought that one of the reasons Kid A and In Rainbows are so good compared to other albums by the band because they both have excellent closing tracks (these are Motion Picture Soundtrack and Videotape, which you say were both ruined). Also, The Bends, with Street Spirit, has a very good closing song.
They did the same thing to a lesser extent with Videotape as well. I swear, the last track on their 9th album is going to be Gagging Order with a fucking kazoo accompaniment for the last minute and a half.
I'm not sure why they decided to ruin this song for the album. I mean it was going so well with the organ for the first part, then they just broke it. Reminds me of Plinkett's commentary on the Star Wars Special Editions... You're into the song, and then they put all this crap in the way which takes you out of it. I mean, I feel like they must've known that they absolutely wrecked it when they put it on the album. They may as well have just added fart noises for the last half.
Apparently this song was written before Creep according to Wiki. If it was, goddamn dedication to Thom for keeping this beautiful song for nearly a decade!
@deandave24 "Beautiful Angel, seperated at birth" line. Removed from the Kid A version. Hard to believe MPS was written around the same time as Creep.

Still upset that they didn't use this version of the song to close out Kid A, would have made it equal to OK Computer in my book.
