In 2006, [[Time (magazine)|''Time'']] named ''Kid A ''one of the 100 best albums, calling it "the opposite of easy listening, and the weirdest album to ever sell a million copies, but ... also a testament to just how complicated pop music can be".<ref name="Time">{{cite magazine|date=13 November 2006|title=The All-Time 100 Albums|url=http://www.time.com/time/2006/100albums/index.html|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110424141858/http://www.time.com/time/2006/100albums/index.html|archive-date=24 April 2011|access-date=3 March 2009|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> At the end of the decade, ''Rolling Stone'',<ref name="100 Best Albums of the Decade">{{Cite magazine |date=2011-07-18 |title=100 Best Albums of the 2000s |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-best-albums-of-the-2000s-153375/ |access-date=2024-02-11 |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |language=en-US |archive-date=1 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190701005627/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-best-albums-of-the-2000s-153375/ |url-status=live }}</ref> ''Pitchfork''<ref name=":3" /> and the ''[[The Times|Times]]''<ref name="The Times-2009" /> ranked ''Kid A'' the greatest album of the 2000s.

And 25 years later, there's near-universal sentiment that ''Kid A'' is not only a towering achievement by the greatest band of its time, but also a warning call that went completely unheeded."<ref name="rollingstone2025"/>
