"Optimistic" is the first
Kid A track to leave. It was a promotional single in America, and technically the only "single" from the album. The track was a top 10 hit in the Modern Rock charts. It is the song on
Kid A that is most like Radiohead's 1990s material. The line "try the best you can" is what Thom Yorke's girlfriend said about creating a follow up to
OK Computer.
I'm really sad this couldn't make the top 20. It's enchanting and one of their finest lyrical moments. It feels so at home in
Kid A even if it is stylistically different from basically everything else.
9.4 
At least Creep is finally out. It's not bad at all, it's just not as good as some of their other songs.
