"Everything in Its Right Place" sits on Radiohead's 2000 album Kid A, a song credited to all five members and produced by Nigel Godrich with the band; Godrich also engineered and mixed it. Keyboards lead the way, with Jonny Greenwood at the keys and adding backing vocals, Colin Greenwood on bass and Philip Selway on drums and percussion, and Thom Yorke's voice drifting through it like a half-heard broadcast.

The effect is hypnotic and slightly unsettling, a calm, circling pulse that never quite resolves, all cool surfaces and quiet dread.
