how do you guys rank Kid A so much higher than Amnesiac?

They're obviously pretty similar in my mind. They have comparable numbers of good songs, and I think Amnesiac might even have a slight edge in that regard. But, I think Kid A has two things going for it over Amnesiac:
1) It came out first.
2) As an entire, sequenced album, I think it's structured better. Everything In Its Right Place is a KILLER lead-in, and Morning Bell followed by Motion Picture Soundtrack is a pretty dramatic way to close. Amnesiac doesn't have that seem feeling of flow to me.
