Rob Sheffield of "Rolling Stone" later wrote that the "mastery of Warp-style electronic effects" had appeared "clumsy and dated". In an "NME" editorial"," James Oldham wrote that the electronic influences were "mired in compromise", with Radiohead still operating as a rock band, and concluded: "Time will judge it. But right now, "Kid A" has the ring of a lengthy, over-analysed mistake." Warp co-founder Rob Mitchell felt "Kid A" represented "an honest interpretation of influences" and was not gratuitously electronic. He predicted it might one day be seen in the same way as the 1977 David Bowie albums ""Heroes"" and "Low", which alienated some Bowie fans but were later acclaimed.
