Amnesiac

Solid as a complete album with a few standout tracks like Pyramid Song. I personally don't love Radiohead but can't deny this album's merit.

Begin van het album is mij te abstract. Word halverwege wel beter, sommige nummers ook wel nice maar als album zou ik er niet snel naar luisteren Would not buy

Never been too sure about Radiohead. I think of it as kind of background music rather than something I would sit and really concentrate on. Pretty sure I've heard Knives Out before. Not a favourite. I won't listen to it again.

Ouch. Self indulgent crap. I don’t know why this band is so well regarded. Either whining or noise, or both. Good if you’re having a bad dream or in some fever pitch. This must be a test. Ok, I’ve listened… never again.

Not an easy listen if you’re after another OK Computer, but this whole album, nay period, of Radiohead is sheer genius. If you give it a chance it will surprise, thrill and strike you with joy of untold levels. You just NEED to give it a chance!

If this album generator challenge taught me anything, it’s taught me that I LOVE Radiohead!!! I love the singers voice, love the background instruments, and I love how calm and slow it is. You can tell they had fun with this album because it sounds very different than the first album we had to listen to. Was much weirder! Like I said, I loved this and can’t wait to hear more from them. 10/10

Another bizarre album with a melancholic undertone. I don’t remember Radiohead sounding this way from the first album I listened too. Either way, I enjoyed this one. 7/10

Good album, but I can't help but just look forward to the other Radiohead albums that should be on this list. The first half of the album is absolutely amazing but man does it fall off a cliff after that, so much so that it feels like a different album for the last 20 minutes. Still really good and fun to listen to. 7/10

Slow, electronic, experimental, emotional. The vocals wallow in the heavy dramatic instrumentals. This is once again not what I thought Radiohead sounded like. Much better than the last Radiohead album we got. I feel like you have to be in a very specific mood to listen to this album by choice. It seemingly sucks the energy out of you and makes everything heavy. A tonally haunting album. The latter half of the album dragged a bit and became a bit repetitive. I still can’t understand anything he is saying. 7/10

There's a lot of genius here, but I think also a lot of experimentation. I don't think I'd listen to Hunting Bears ever again. Not because I don't like hunting. Or bears. Even the Chicago variety or the bad news version. But when it leads up to Like Spinning Plates, I can imagine that's how difficult it is to continue to listen to.

Definitely a bit more challenging songs than average for some Radiohead albums, but Pyramid Song, Packt, You and Whose Army, I Might Be Wrong, Morning Bells are all amazing. I've really enjoyed Thom Yorke's vocals... they are unique and perfectly suit the music. A favorite.

A great "feeling" album. Especially if your depressed.

so weird and i love it

Another Radiohead masterpiece. I’ve always been grateful they chose to release this as a stand-alone album that acts as a companion to Kid A (rather than a lengthy double LP, or cutting them completely). There’s such an incredible atmosphere and mood to this album. It’s insanely creative, passionate and timeless to me.

I like radiohead, but this album did nothing for me

Surprised this one and Hail to the Thief were on here. Would much rather the Bends be on here so people who weren’t familiar with the band could see where they started before OK Computer/Kid A and also because it’s an awesome album. But whatever. This one is probably between my 6-8th favorite RadioHead album. Don’t listen to it much but still super unique. It’s so hard not to compare it to Kid A which is just better. Rating: 4.4

Where Kid A was a divisive record that most people can be convinced on how incredible it is despite the weirdness and inaccessibility, Amnesiac is the even more experimental and divisive follow-up that those people say "you've already used your excuses with Kid A, now what?" The mainstream audience will listen and be left confused. Critics will hear this and shrug off the more experimental tracks, and claim the better ones are merely Kid A B-tracks. Fans will say this is them at their most creative with the most thoughtful and constructive tracks in their repository. Compared to Kid A, this one places less of an emphasis on ambient in favor of krautrock and jazz. What this means is that the tracks are glitchier and static. Kid A was smooth and delicate but also loud and flashy. The tracks in Kid A had many complimentary dimensions that created a world in your head. Amnesiac has less layers, and yet those layers are more pronounced and repetitive, creating a sound that is colder and more ominous yet still knows what it tries to be. Two other observations. The first is that the tracks are less coherent than Kid A. Because of how harsh each of is, songs don't transition as well. Sure, the track ordering is still fine for what they have. Tracks 4-6 are rock-oriented and the most accessible, while "Hunting Bears" and "Like Spinning Plates" nicely build to the mood of the closer "Life in a Glasshouse". But the tracks stand on their own a bit too much, and it makes it harder to enjoy it as a full satisfying experience. The second is that the tracks are less fun and accessible. Beyond the strangeness, Kid A has some very beautiful melodies in maybe half the tracks that anyone could catch on to: catchier flashier melodies, but also more emotion in Thom Yorke's vocals. But here, even the acclaimed songs like "Pyramid Song", "Knives Out", and "Life in a Glasshouse" are more disjointed and confused, even a bit shy. It's harder to get into them or sing along. That is where a lot of the charm is though. These songs are less predictable but subtle, delicate, and intriguing. Many people may consider these characteristics as worse as an art form. I don't believe that to be the case. I think it makes it more difficult to appreciate and listen to casually, but it doesn't take away to the impressive work Radiohead has put in to every track. They're master classes in production work, breaching beyond what is conventionally possible with soundscapes. And you have to appreciate the crazy effort they have put in, perfectly incorporating rock, pop, electronic, jazz, and other sub-genres into something that creates such a unique and outstanding mood. Very few albums could compete in what Amnesiac has achieved.

I'm almost surprised to see this one here. Don't get me wrong, I love this album, but it's sort of just the B-side to Kid A, no? A little more experimental and electronic than their earlier work, but not executed as successfully as Kid A, in my opinion. Certain tracks here like "Knives Out" and "I Might Be Wrong" are some of my favorites by Radiohead, but I don't find this album as a collection to be among their top work. Certainly not top 5. But it's still one I throw on a few times a year. And at the end of the day, it's Radiohead. It's still really, really good.

Me sorprendió. De una extrañeza que me ha gustado

Not good. Felt like cotton balls were stuffed in my ear and RENT was banging on my head.

Radiohead is a band that I just can’t get into. I can buy the praise and accolades, but nothing in any of the songs on this album grabbed my attention. Overall, they’re just not a band that I “get” or love any of their songs. I know a lot of it is experimental, but I suppose some things just aren’t for everyone.

The towering cliffs of Nebraska to throw myself off of. I didn't know what Radiohead's music was like before. Now, I have no desire to know more. One of the titles says it all, "Like Spinning Plates". Yeah, like flat things going nowhere.

Meh

I like Radiohead in small doses.

Not a fan of this one. Isn’t even good background music.

Much too depressing and chaotic for my tastes.

Found this highly enjoyable. Thom Yorke’s vocals are delivered with passion and soul over an ever-shifting soundscape that defies gene. Separate the numerous pieces of instrumentation and you’ll find yourself wondering how it all fits together; but sitting back you let the alchemy work its magic and don’t ask about the man behind the curtain. Highlights include “knives out” “packt” and “morning bell.” Loved it.

Yet another experimental album comes my way with Amnesiac. This album is also another really weird one with a majority of the songs sounding like fever dreams and maybe making me fear i took some drugs without noticing. The experimental nature does work pretty well with these songs though. The more weird sounding ones often tended to be the better songs on the album. I feel this album is an acquired taste like all the other experimental albums i have looked at but i can easily see why this album has quite a bit of fans. Best Song: Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box Worst Song: Hunting Bears

Moody and melancholic.

It’s really a testament to Radiohead’s songmaking ability that a collection of songs that were rejected from Kid A are still good enough to be considered one of the best albums ever. “Pyramid Song”, “Knives Out”, “Morning Bell/Amnesiac”, and even “I Might Be Wrong” are some of Radiohead’s greatest, but this album is noticeably less consistently good compared to most other Radiohead albums (except King of Limbs which I can’t find myself to enjoy at all). One of the low points includes “Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors” which sounds fine but for the modulated voice. Not sure why but whenever they use computerized voices, it really breaks up the flow of the album for me (also see “Fitter Happier” on OK Computer). I probably haven’t listened to this in 10+ years, and while I rated this album highly, I definitely didn’t think I’d remember it that well. About half the tracks are definitely forgettable, but I also forgot how much I enjoyed “Morning Bell/Amnesiac” (“releeeease meeeee”) and a few others in addition to the 2 singles.

Not bad. I normally don’t care for Radiohead but it was better than expected.

Too depressing! Hard nooooo!

The music itself ranged from great to at least fine. Not one to frequent, but as an isolated experience, I’d say it was a very good album.

A lot of experimental tracks, doesn't seem to have any noticeably consistent theme or flow. As much as I like being pretentious and enjoying pretentious music, I can't back this album as a "oh you should totally listen to this, but you might not get it" to friends. Maybe I can be pretentious by being too good for this album. I do not understand how 'Pyramid Song' is the most popular on this album, was it used in a movie or something? 'You And Whose Army' and ' Life in a Glasshouse' were good, slower songs that I could see throwing into my mega-playlist and enjoying when they show up, if only to be able to keep saying "Yeah, I listen to Radiohead". 2/5 or 55/100

Amazing album and an amazing band. It's not just music, it's art.

every Radiohead album is a 5/5, I don’t make the rules

Woah didn't expect this to make the list at all Not their best work but there are some great tracks on here

On the whole, not for me. Knives Out okay and album gets slightly better as you go along.

Same old radio head, not much my jam. Also did this song have songs off of kid a? That or they sound the same

Questionable

Unique, with lots of interesting sound. Compelling in places, dull in others.

The unbelievable subtle details in the music throughout this album reveal what a great effort they went through to record it. Wonderful experience!

So bad Thom's voice really grinds my gears and the music just seems so pretentious.

There is alternative music then there is this

This isn't Radiohead at its best, but still contains some good tracks.

Très bon album pour se réveiller un lundi matin par 0°c. Y'a rien qui m'a marqué particulièrement mais l'ambiance givre était là

Spinning plates, ma chanson de confinement

Blech - not one of my fav’s

Ambiental, agradable, experimental, una pizca snob

I just simply do not like Radiohead. Pyramid Song was ok. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors is garbage, as is the rest of it

Just can't gey on with his voice. A struggle to get through the entire LP, another one for my 1001 records not to listen to until I die!

They sound sad, they should try not being sad.

This is an awkward listen, it feels almost like a film score. It's as if I'm watching a live performance through my fingers, searching for something to connect with. There are odd glimpses of familiarity, but overall, the album pushes me away instead of pulling me in. STAND OUT TRACK - Knives Out NUMBER OF BANGERS - 1

I was obsessed with this album when it came out I have to give it 5 by default

Was good.

Didn't connect lyrically with much of this but appreciated more musically. Pyramid was the best song lyrically and sonically with the greatest emotional impact.

Loving this one, haven’t got tooooo deep into RadHed tbf. Feels pretty riffy which I like.

Hard to believe this is the same band who released Pablo Honey and The Bends. Terrible.

Jazz and horns. Very low key

Everyone talks about OK Computer. And I understand why that is. But man, this album is such a good damn vibe.

Highlights: Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army?, I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, Morning Bell/Amnesiac Disliked: Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors (just not my thing, don't like electronic voices or talking in songs anyway, that was always my problem with Fitter Happier on OK Computer as well). Hunting Bears just feels like filler. Like Spinning Plates is an interesting song and I like the way it builds but I find the fluttering noises a bit unpleasant. Overall: I'm a big Radiohead fan and this is an album with a lot of my favourite Radiohead songs (Pyramid Song, Knives Out, , but not my favourite album of theirs overall - I did think as I was listening to the first song that if this was my first exposure to Radiohead I might not really get the hype immediately, but as an existing fan putting it into the context of the rest of their catalogue I like it a lot. Thom Yorke's voice is ethereal and beautiful as always. I like the combination of their more classic guitar riffs with electronic drum beats, I like a lot of the experimental stuff they did. Tough to know whether to give this a 4 or a 5 - It's a 4 compared to their other albums, but a 5 comparing it to all music. So I think in the context of the project it's a 5.

A few songs are great.

Not really my kind of music. Wierd!

Primer disco de Radiohead, entiendo que no es de los que todo el mundo les flipa. Está bastante bien, tiene momentos buenos, pero se queda ahí. Aunque no me importa tenerlo de fondo, la verdad. Ganitas de que lleguen los álbumes populares de estos.

It what I was expecting. Very mellow.

I’ve never been able to love this as much as Kid A, despite them obviously originating from the same sessions and complementing each other. There’s a few stunning standout moments, most notably “Pyramid Song”, but it doesn’t cohere as well as its sister record. It’s still a very good album, but it doesn’t hang with the absolute pinnacle of their work.

some crazy great ideas, not an amazing album Masterpieces : Packt Like Sardines, Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, Like Spinning Plates, Life In A Glasshouse

I'm surprised that this may be my favourite Radiohead album so far (or at least tracks 1-6 may be my favourite half a Radiohead record). Yes, it's whiney and pretentious, but it really leans in to its whineyness and pretentiousness, and creates a consistently gloomy feeling which is surprisingly appealing. Rating: 3.5/5 Playlist track: Knives Out Date listened: 03/01/24

4 stars, good stuff

3,5

While I can appreciate some of Radiohead's work and in fact like a number of their songs this album doesn't hit for me. There are 3 or 4 songs that I like on work but much of the rest of the songs seem like they should be on an outtake's album. They can be difficult to listen to and in a bit irritating. If nothing else this album is pushing me to listen to a few of their other works to see if they sit better than this one. Favorite Songs: I Might Be Wrong, Pyramid Song, Knifes Out, Life in a Glow House. 2.5 out of 5.

There a rich texture to this record, and some of the songs sound very modern. But the record can feel a little less impactful with their tendencies. And I can understand what all the rage was about with Radiohead back in the day. One of the only bands of the era who could claim the status of being both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. Songs like Pyramid Song and Life in a Glass House sound like they could have been released last week, but half of the record feels a little unremarkable. Fav tracks: Pyramid Song, You and Who’s Army?, I Might Be Wrong, Life in a Glass House

Sometimes I feel like a philistine when I see all the praise heaped on Radiohead. When the band hits, they really hit. But many other times, I just feel like I'm missing something. I just kind of fail to connect to what they're doing in the way I'm led to expect a lot of the time. While undeniably beautiful, this record unfortunately lands a little more in the forgettable category (no pun intended) for me. Despite the standouts, there's plenty of wheezy electronica and ponderous meandering kicking around this one that really starts to blend together for me. It's not a bad record by any means (I'd take this over Deep Purple any day), but not their strongest showing either, at least to me. Rating: 3.5/5 Favourite songs: I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, Pyramid Song, Life in a Glass House

Interesting album. It feels old timey, psychedelic and experimental all at the same time. I'm not sure when I would sit down and listen to this to "enjoy". It feels like an album people say they love because it's cool to love something so different and alternative.

It's not the best Radiohead album so I was considering giving it a 4 but I listened through again and it's a masterpiece still.

Album 276 of 1001 Radiohead - Amnesiac Rating : 4 / 5 Another Radiohead I like but just doesn't go over the top, for me. I think they may be a constant 4/5 band, for my listening.

great album, honestly not my n1 of radiohead but it still great top songs ~ You and whose army? ~ Knives out ~ Like spinning plates ~ Life in a glasshouse

very experimental as expected for a radiohead album. Some parts of the album had a meandering feel as if there was no direction but, that doesn't mean there wasn't a purpose. It felt atmospheric and ambient, thus impressionistic. I liked it though I've enjoyed most radiohead albums I've listened to.

2/5. Boring. Depressing. Radiohead.

I imagine that anyone doing a 1001 album listening to and reviewing project considers him or her (probably him)self a "music nerd" but obviously there is a giant degree of variation as to what that term means to different people. Some people think that if they have been to five Dave Matthews Band concerts that they are a music nerd and some people think that if you haven't got a top ten list of favorite 1920's-era Zimbabwean throat-singing noise disco artists then you aren't really a music fan at all. I am somewhere in that spectrum, probably on the more basic end, and even in full recognition of that basicness I have some serious apostasies from what I consider to be music nerd orthodoxy. For example, I unironically love Neil Diamond; I cannot for the life of me get what people like about Gang of Four, or post-punk in general; I think Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket were better 90's bands than Nirvana and Peal Jam; I wouldn't kick Air Supply out of bed for eating crackers; and damnit do I hate Radiohead. I think that if Radiohead were just a one hit wonder grunge era band that kept on making some kind of weird music in their subsequent career that a few people really liked then I would probably say, "The singer's voice is not for me, but its okay" and move on, but Radiohead is held up as the end all be all of music nerd music and I just don't get it. OK Computer is okay. Creep is a pretty good song. But everything else they have ever done can be tossed to the bottom of the ocean for all I care. If they come on the radio I turn the channel. I fucking hate them. I think it is mostly Thom Yorke (had to be "Thom" didn't it? Couldn't possibly be "Tom")'s voice, but its probably just everything. Fuck you, Radiohead. Fuck you, music nerds who think everyone has to like Radiohead. I wish I was an amnesiac and could forget that this band ever existed. And I think what makes listening to this garbage even more upsetting is knowing full well that there are probably at least three other shitty Radiohead albums on this list. Let's see . . . yep, four albums total. God help me, I'm going to have to endure In Rainbows again. Kill me now.

Not bad but not really my style. I like other Radiohead stuff but this one just didn’t work for me.

Excellent!

Good album. The only stand-outs for me were “You and Whose Army?” and “I Might Be Wrong.” I knew of only “Creep” before so the lyrics not being on that level of flow was a little off-putting, but interested in more. 2.5

I like Radiohead, but had never heard this album. I enjoyed it very much! Maybe not as memorable as some of their others, but atmospheric and interesting.

Was surprised by this album. I was such a fan of OK computer that I never listened when they went electronic. There was some filler towards the end of the album but a lot of great songs.

This is absolute shit

Usual Radiohead class

Very ethereal, a perfect album to cry to or just mellow in a dark room, this album needs a certain setting to enjoy it fully like i cant listen to it in the car ride home from like work but its great to write note app paragraphs lol I freaking love Radiohead

Not really into Radiohead.

To experimental. No guitars

Don't think this is the best Radiohead album. Very trippy but after Knives out becomes abit too abstract for me to fully enjoy (maybe someone on crack will tell me otherwise). 3.5

Not cohesive for obvious reasons but gozzy being gozzy

Sad boi classic

Pretty chill but nothing that hooked me.

No es mi favorito.

It had some innovative noises but was overall bland

taman je period nekakav za ovo, navečer lagano dok kiša pada (iako ne pada ovih dana), ali opet

listened to again one of their most slept on albums

it’s an album!

It's not perfect record like radiohead's previous. But, if you're willing to see a band go out of their comfort zone and make a bit of a mess, a greatly enjoyable record nonetheless

Noise

Really good album. I have been meaning to listen to the Radiohead albums for a long time, but I don't think they were on Spotify before. This is going to be a lot of fun. I unsuccessfully tried to listen to this album on my run with my earbuds, and realized that it was pointless. I needed good headphones to experience this.

With the exception of I Might Be Wrong, this album from Radiohead doesn't really do it for me.

Not in my edition of the book. 2001. 3 stars. Well done, but lacking standout tracks and strays dangerously into prog rock wankage. Not their best work by any means - who selected this for the 1001 albums list?

01) Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box - 9,0 02) Pyramid Song - 10,0 03) Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors - 8,0 04) You and Whose Army? - 9,5 05) I Might Be Wrong - 9,5 06) Knives Out - 10,0 07) Morning Bell/Amnesiac - 8,5 08) Dollars and Cents - 8,5 09) Hunting Bears - 9,0 10) Like Spinning Plates - 8,5 11) Life in a Glasshouse - 8,5 TOTAL: 9,00 (90/100) I remember being disappointed with Radiohead albums after "OK Computer" but after today's listening to "Amnesiac" I can't remember why. This sounds fresh, maybe it was ahead of its time?

Not even the best Radiohead album.

Can't say I've ever been in love with Radiohead. They definitely have some good stuff but this one was pretty melancholy. Likely would not put this in heavy rotation in my house.

A lot of this album felt like an intro to a song that never happened

Meh... Radiohead is very hit or miss with me. I believe I'm more of a mainstream Radiohead fan & this album doesn't have any of their mainstream hits on it. I'm sure die hard RadioHeadies love this sort of album, but for me, it's a Meh.

I think there’s definitely some interesting tracks here that are worth revisiting but as a whole, I wasn’t too interesting in this project

I thought that this was one of Radioheads worst, but seriously all their stuff ive listened to is above a 9/10. I haven't listened to all of it though but still. Songs on this album are eerie and spectacular

This is actually one of my favorite Radiohead albums. The top 5 on this album is just so great, although weird in some parts: ‘Pyramid Song’, ‘I Might Be Wrong’, ‘Knives Out’, ‘Like Spinning Plates’, and ‘Life In A Glasshouse’. What can I say? This album also just hits so different from the rest of them. I don’t know why, but it just feels like it’s in its own world. Anyway, great album bye

Love Radiohead! I can’t wait for there next concert

Moody, glitchy, wailing. VIBES

I hate his voice

I think that this album tries to create atmosphere. I just don't feel it at all.

No toe-tappers here, but the album is full of interesting, melancholy rhythms. Not for all occasions, but if the mood strikes, this is a fabulous piece.

Ahh, I love Radiohead's sonic experimentation. Just wish I had more time to just sit down and listen because there's a lot of layers. So I guess Radiohead is like an Ogre. I jest, but this band DOES NOT. This is their main flaw - so serious! That and Thom Yorke's vocals don't always resonate (no pun intended). Sometimes feels like the musical equivalent of the movie Eraserhead. This is a really interesting album, heavy both thematically and structurally. A unique, risk-taking band band that somehow makes their experimental psychological meanderings almost accessible. One last thing - if EVERYTHING is obscure, nothing is obscure.

This is theoretically interesting, but not great. I just don't get peoples' infatuation and fascination with Radiohead. They are over-estimated - the ultimate navel-gazers. Who listens to this? why? I am not a fan.

Spooky jazz. A much better album than I thought. And I’m finally embracing Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors!

I definitely owned the first four Radiohead albums but I think I realised their highs were incredible but had very little interest in the rest. Some of it is just background noise. The singles though are haunting and ethereal and truly great compositions. You can’t mistake a Radiohead song. I would be happy to give a 3.5… but this isn’t my fave.

Before we started this project, if you had asked me, if I liked Radiohead, I would have said, no, with the exception of a few songs. And this album is the reason why. This one seemed a little off the rails, kind of sonic landscape-y. Same sort of thing (but executed differently) I didn’t like when Wilco did after YHF. I very much liked the other three (?) Radiohead albums that we have already heard on this journey.

As a Radiohead fan, this seems a pretentious bid by whomever decided to include the album to seem like they know something the rest of us don't. This is a middling album by a transformative band. I love that Radiohead is intentionally ambitious, but this doesn't rank among their best.

Each song is pretty good, with a few being very good. but goddamn, i can't take a whole album of this.

We had a family listening session and Adler is a huge Radiohead fan. He and Andre were critical about this album. All I could think is it’s Radiohead and their sonic universe is damn near perfect all the time.

My kind of weird

#63. I quite like Radiohead, but this particular album isn't their most interesting. 3/5: acceptable *this is the fourth album I purchased from this list. Mostly just because it was the only Radiohead album I didn't already own, so I figured why not complete the set. Song added to playlist: Knives Out I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book. This list can be found here if you are interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7MAXDGLWlwLkFLb8veGfkA?si=FqkQQPgZTFWG0jAUJXLFZA&utm_source=copy-link

As if I didn't think Radiohead were bad enough before I heard this, Jesus Christ, what is this shit!?

didnt like it much at all wasnt my style and honestly didnt think it was very good.

Surreal and beautiful

Ask me if I’ve heard this album in a week and I will have no recollection if I have or haven’t.

Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tim Box // Pyramid Song // You And Whose Army? // Knives Out // Life in a Glasshouse 4/5

Well after listening to these guys, I'm beginning to think I was a little hard on Frank. Good gawd, I've heard of Radiohead and I've heard they have some good music. Apparently, I heard wrong or this album was some type of experiment on whining like a lil bitch. I listened once and have no desire to listen again. About song #3, Pulk or something like that, I had flashbacks to some of the worst albums I have heard off this list. Suicide (the band, not the act itself) popped into my head. Yea...this was not good at all. My 1 is for the worst of the worst. These guys were close. I'll give 1.5 and that's being kind. Scoreboard will show 1 1.5

2 A collection of songs recorded during the same sessions as the group’s previous album, Kid A, that they felt warranted a full, separate release. Well, I think this definitely feels like a collection of outtakes from a superior album, and anyone who calls this “Kid B” is right on the money. There’s no cohesion or connective tissue between anything here, and while there’s at least a unique sound to each song, it really just comes off feeling pretentious most of the time. At least we got a pretty good murder mystery movie out of the track Knives Out, which also happens to be probably the best song here as well - though likely because it’s the only one where it doesn’t sound like Thom Yorke’s head is fully up his own ass. One of the most overrated groups out there, and it frustrates me when their fans try to assert this kind of thing as a masterpiece. Yes, Radiohead has some great tunes, some innovative, some just bangers, but there’s so much pretentious, annoying bullshit in their catalog you have to sift through to find those. Will die on the hill that this band is not as great as music nerds made out to be.

Back to front 5 stars f'real

Quite liked this one. 1 if my favourite albums (of all time) is the Bends, so I was expecting good things. Quirky, strange influences and wholly er, interesting is this album. I do wonder with albums like this that the band may be still looking for ideas and could be guilty of trotting out the some of the same, as before. A very good album but not as good as the aforementioned Bends or OK Computer.

Right ok so i know radiohead is meant to be the shit but I just couldn’t get into this album…

This is peak Radiohead for me. Dripping with emotion and class.

NOT a fan

Bit full of itself without the content to back itself up. Mopey. Keep waiting for it to improve and it just never does. Only decent track is Knives Out and even then I'm in no rush to revisit

Knives Out

Haunting, musical, and soothing at the same time. Beautiful instruments and vocals. Some distorted sounding songs that build tension. Great album.

huge radiohead fan. I think this is radiohead at their most weird/experimental (yes even more than tkol) still love this album as a whole, even though i just regularly listen to half of it. Kid A morning bell >>

R A D I O H E A D

Rumore. Prog sì, così tanto non so veramente quale possa essere l'appeal

Love this album! Not my favourite Radiohead album, but love it more than I used to. Used to be thrown off by it’s experimental style which felt a little off balanced in the album back in the day, but I feel like it evolved the band towards some sweet future albums. Overall 4.5 strong album but not my favourite Radiohead album

ngl, always found them a little dull.

Radiohead isn’t known for upbeat music, but I found this album particularly dour. However, I liked the New Orleans vibe of the last song.

Some call it Kid B, which I get. But it for sure stands on its own. Love the experimental sounds and ambient effects. Very moody in tone but a pleasure for the ears. The jazz great playing trumpet on Life in a Glasshouse was an amazing way to end the album. So close to a 5

Voða fín, fyrsta almennilega hlustunin á Radiohead

Good album. I feel so relax wneh I listen it

Nr. 44/1001 Packt Like Sardines In a Crushed Tin Box 4/5 Pyramid Song 4/5 Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors 2/5 You and Whose Army? 3/5 I Might Be Wrong 3/5 Knives Out 3/5 Morning Bell/Amnesiac 3/5 Dollars and Cents 3/5 Hunting Bears 3/5 Like Spinning Plates 3/5 Life In a Glasshouse 4/5 Average: 3,18 Super interesting listen, especially the sound-scapes that are greated here. But I still can't enjoy Radiohead as much as others

I never appreciated it enough at the time

I like some Radiohead, but don’t see myself listening to this much.

Better than I expected but I always wish these guys would just rock out more

Would be a 5 but they have albums much more 10/10 and complete, i love the eerie weird vibe but not every song is amazing some are for vibe, great album though

I didn't think it was possible to make 44 minutes sound like 4 hours, but this managed it. What a crock of shit.

2/5 Not really my jam at all.

Nicht meins

Tror stadig ikke rigtigt jeg “forstår” Radiohead. Måske er jeg hård her, men det er bare ikke noget jeg rigtigt ville lytte til

Radiohead it’s always a great lesson. Whether it’s the earlier stuff or their leaders. This is new Kid A but it’s enjoyable and if you have not heard it, please listen.

If Kid A was the apocalypse that Ok Computer predicted, then Amnesiac is the barren wasteland of what came after

...is it called Amnesiac because they forgot to finish half the songs?

Soundscapey again! But maybe a hair below some of the other more intentional and cinematic sounds Radiohead has done before.

No. Just no. I hate this and all Radiohead art-rock whiney drivel. Too clever by half.

-i think i have already listened to a radiohead album as part of this list -excited to listen to another -i hate to keep saying this, but radiohead songs are very dull LMAO -these songs are definitely interesting but idk if its in a good way -you and whose army feels like the first real song of this album that is enjoyable to listen to -i might be wrong is so far my favorite on the album, i actually like it a lot -first couple of songs threw me because they were so meh but second half of the album is not actually that bad -overall its getting 3 stars

You and Whose Army - excellent song, easily my favourite by Radiohead, there's been times, when it was on a loop for a whole day. As for the rest of the album it's typical Radiohead. Some songs are quite good, catchy, melancholic, original. But others have just too much of Thom Yorke's wailing, which in bigger doses is on par with an audio torture. Still a great album, but don't listen to it too much, please.

A great moody album

Meh

There are better Radiohead albums.

I listened to this album twice yesterday, back to back. I never listened to Radiohead when all the cool kids were. Amnesiac is not as memorable as OK Computer or even Kid A, but in the end, it's mostly more of the same, yeah? That being said, I did really enjoy the jazz on the final track.

This was my first experience with this album. It was really good. I wonder where Radiohead people put this in relation to their other albums.

Ok, I think 4 Radiohead albums on this list is more than enough. I feel like Radiohead are overrated. I personally can't stand them. The fact that they have such a showing on this list, but other more deserving acts aren't even on the list is rediculous. I suspect it is because they are British, and this list is so heavily weighted to obscure English acts for some fucking reason. Thom Yorke should cheer the fuck up and stop moaning. This "music" is garbage. Nothing about this album is enjoyable to me. A truly painful listening experience. I pray that this is the last of their records that I have to endure, but I have a sneaky suspicion that Pablo Honey is probably on here too if this utter garbage is... Fuck Radiohead. Favourite song: Hunting Bears, simply because Thom shut the fuck up, and the song is only 2 mins long Least favourite songs: Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors, along with the rest of this insufferable garbage. 1/5

the best

After years of waiting nothing came

Un espectacular álbum que mezcla lo mejor de la electrónica con las tendencias alternativas desarrolladas por Yorke y su banda en su álbum previo "Kid A". Si bien, muchas de las pistas del trabajo se sienten como sobras de las sesiones de su disco anterior, son lo suficientemente sólidas como para construir un trabajo sólido.

Well beetje edgy 7/10

An absolute masterpiece, this album is a a timeless triumph of music, creativity and experimental bravery. There is nothing that sounds like this album and its companion album, Kid A, either before or since - a testament to its genius.

Fantastic album So underated People call this record "kid A leftovers". Amnesiac is so much more than that Probably my favourite radiohead album

This is not an essential album, and this is coming from a fan. With cuts like ”Pyramid Song”, ”I Might Be Wrong” & ”Knives Out” there are certainly great things to get from it, it’s just a bit goofy around the edges. Nonetheless, I am bound by blood to give it at least 4 stars

Tråkigt

Self-absorbed, tedious anti-music. Would rather listen to my washing machine, which squeaks. Loved Pyramid Song

This record was actually way better then the ones I had to listen to before. It’s the first radiohead album I enjoyed.

ample uses of technology along with thom yorke’s signature warble. i know that his vocal delivery can come across as “lazy” and “off putting” to some, but to me it comes across as almost another instrument in the mix of sounds. his approach is not really meant to be sung along with.

I'm actually a pretty big fan of Radiohead. This album disappointed. There were a couple of good tracks, but it was far more repetitive than their normal stuff. Sad day.

There’s a few moments where I start to dig the sound and then it just goes flat again. It’s just…..mostly…..boring. The vocals are too drawled out and whiney, too. I just don’t get Radiohead.

Litt rart. Litt alt eller hva man skal si. Skjer ikke mye føler ikke særlig.

Mixed bag. 4/10

Good album, but too experimental for me even though I’m a big fan of them. Favorites were Pyramid Song, Knives Out and You and Whose Army? 3/5

Incredibly experimental; I'm really surprised that this one, from what I've read, seemed to be so loved by the mainstream when it was released Dark, depressing, unsettling album, and so damn interesting. I think that how polarizing the album seems to be on the internet (alongside Radiohead in general) is a testament to how much they pushed music's boundaries on this one

It's not the best work of Radiohead. It obviously has the overall theme of the band, but throughout the whole album I only got my ear closer to 1-2 songs. Especially the last one is different in a good way. 3.5/5.

in a way i prefer amnesiac to kid a. i know i know, crucify me, but its way more melodic in the sense that its not all based on rythm. on the counterpart tho its not as groundbreaking as kid a. so i dont know. im a big fan of ok computer and thats it, was never really into any other radiohead album apart from in rainbows maybe. but this is great, just way too depressing and dark.

Pretty good, great in places

It sort of floats about but doesn’t go anywhere. Possibly my least favourite Radiohead album.

I love radiohead. Every record is different, yet you still can hear its them. And everytime you listen to it you hear something new.

1. I skipped track one because I just couldnt be bothered lmao currently on track 2 but i'm gonna go back and finish track 1 after this songs ends. 2. This song gives me soundtrack vibes like I can deffs hear this on a tv show during a kind of eerie scene. 3. Searched up the meaning behind the lyrics for this and they're actually deep and also true. This entire song makes me feel so like "wtf is this" which I guess depending on how you look at it, correlates with how you can have that same thinking towards life itself. 4. Songs sounds drastically different from the first three tracks in the sense that it's just the guitar and vocals. not until the last verse that the instruments come in and gives me the same vibe as the previous tracks. Also I learnt a new word: "cronies" 5. Main guitar riff is cool. I'm noticing that most of these songs hit the 4 min mark but lyrically, they're quite short so there's a lot of space just filled in with the instruments. 6. I just know that I wont like any songs on this album but if I had to pick; this is my fav song on the entire album because it's the only chill one in terms of production lollll its just the vocals and light instrument back track yaaay 7. Okay this track is also very chill in terms of production but its just a bit eerie so number 6 still wins lol. The eerie vibes parallels well with him repeatedly singing "release me" 8. The genius annotation for this song, specifically the last verse is craaazy when you realise that this song was made in 2001 and still rings true, if not even MORE true now in 2023. 9. No lyrics, just guitar. 10. The annotation for this song is interesting as well. I'm seeing a pattern between these songs all having something to do with the government, politics and large cooperation's. Very cool! 11. I am loving the jazzy feel from the trumpets! I actually think this might be the track that I like the most of this entire album and only because of the Jazz feel haha Overall, very interesting! The lyrics for these songs as well were quite "out there" in terms of bashing the government etc but yeah. I most likely won't listen to this album ever again but it was really cool to listen to a genre of music I don't like.

Not the best Radiohead, but smooth

Just really not my bag. I do not enjoy listening to Radiohead

Thought I would like Radiohead more but so far super dissappointing 2.5

what a beauty this album is. album number 1000 for me on the list. the excitement over what treat could possibly await as album 1001 is palpable. If it's anything other than the seminal 'Up & Down : the party album' by the Vengaboys i will be sorely disappointed.

This record is very forgettable. It's not a kind of sexy legend like myself, Nigel Spackman. A load of boring nonsense that makes you long for a wank in the shower. I winder what spazjazz will make of it.

Fuck off 1100 albums. I was done at 1001

Paar goeie nummers en beats

October 31, 2023 Not first listen, but I recall the spookiness may be more than enough for today Wow my first Radiohead phase was longer ago than I thought, I don’t remember any of these songs! (Pun not intended) ‘Cept “Pyramid Song” and “Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors” :) Also, who knew I’d get my trombone fix with the closing track? It’s transitory, like an elevator going to a strange new planet, but still pretty fun and inventive. To think there’s a whole song that’s 100% a backwards recording, and my first thought is just yep- that’s Radiohead being Radiohead. HL: “Like Spinning Plates”, “Life in a Glasshouse”, “Pyramid Song”, “Morning Bell/Amnesiac”

I like it but it is not my favorite Radiohead album. Probably #5 or 6.

Not my style of music

3.9/5 No real standout songs but solid all the way through Best track: Hunting Bears

good

Another S tier album from Radiohead. Kid A is my favorite album from them but this one is such a great compliment to it.

W RADIOHEAD LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

Im one of the heathens that doesnt get the fuss around this

If 45 minutes of incoherent gibberish, and garbled Melodie’s is you’re forte you’re in luck. The only people who’d find joy in this album are pseudo musical intellectuals, who enjoy the concept of the album because it’s “edgy and experimental.”

More melodic than I remember but still a bit droney

Please stop this

This album was not for me. The drawn-out haunting-esque vocals on these songs did not work for me the way they do on some of Radiohead's songs I'm more familiar with. Unfortunately, I didn't care for a single song on this album.

Some great stuff but at times a tough listen. Always interesting

Actually enjoyed it

Fantasy

Cd

i like radio head

Not something I would usually listen to, 4/10

track 1. wtf steel drums. now theres electro drums ok. riffs pretty nice oh its getting good now cant tell what he's saying though, better get lyrics up. Its okay so far, probably would skip it if it popped up on my spoti. Its dragging on abit at 2:50. Lyrics are dragging on a abit. 3/10 track 2. oh ive heard this one before. the delay on the piano comin in on the off beat thingys are nice, proper stuttery. Swappin from the major to minor key nice. Here we go drums, oh shit that was nice. Gettin jazzy as fuuuuck. wtf is this timing. That was cool, need to relisten to find out what was goin on with the timing. 8/10 track 3. sounds like bring me the horizon, 0/10 nah what the fuck is this the world isnt ready and i never will be. This is shite 0/10 fucks sake i thought it was ending please end 0/10 again. track 4. like this intro so far really fuckin gooochi. shit we goin heavy lovin this. Decent 6/10 track 5. desert sounds. electric drums again ffs. this album sounds a lot like the stone roses in places. this songs not the bad actually so far but something different has to happen soon. Still dont know wtf hes saying. Readin the lyrics because nothing much more is happening with the music. Lyrics repeat a lot and dont mean much but probably pretend they mean a lot. Half way through the song and theres no more lyrics so might skip through it. but wait no its gone silent and we got some shit happening. This shit is way more interesting than the rest of the song, wasted half my life with the first half and finish like that, fuck off. 5/10 track 6. chords are going mental on this bad boy love it. why is he drowning dogs. now hes squashin heads and cooking them up. drums have been solid throughout this when they've not been midi. This is so repetative its dragggiiiiing on so long, the chords are nice and that but change it up for fucks sake and stop drowning dogs 5/10 track 7. We got mad chords drifting out of the key again. It sounds like travis or whatever he's called, that you've got a secret smile song. The harpsicord is creepy as fuck. Its okay this one fair creepy. whats he saying here? cut the kids in half? just checked ye he is. 6/10 RELEASE MEEEEH track 8. nice panning between the chords whatever the word is. not got a lot to say about this sorry. gettin chaotic here overlappin vocals now we chillin with juicy bass lines. drums have been so good on this i say again. IM GONNA STOP LISTENING HALF WAY THROUGH THIS SONG SORRY ITS GETTING LATE. MY END RATING WONT BE ACCURATE XOXOXO

awesome

This album is literally trash there was not a single song that was good T didn't like it neither did B it's literally the real life version of the guy from fresh meats dream album it screams I have a soul patch and play the bongos ... One of the worst albums I've heard.

I love radiohead. It had some bangers, but didn't do it for me like a few of their other albums. Maybe i need to just give it another shot

listened to a different radiohead album

Wasn’t down my lane, apparently it’s better to start with their other albums. I can maybe potentially see their appeal though

I have little to no experience with Radiohead, but I have heard that some melomaniacs hold them in pretty high regard. And there were a couple tracks on this list where that shone through. But altogether the album fell a little flat for me. Maybe it's out of my league, but my monkey-brain was thirsty for more rhythm somewhere in the album. To me, the songs tended to flow into each other in a way that made several of them indistinguishable, or maybe even unmemorable. Highlight: Life in a Glasshouse Lowlight: Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors Surprise Hit : Knives Out

- takes me back to living in Frankfurt, 2001 - Remember it sounding like the Kid A outtakes, which it more/less was - Worst aspect is that it is compared to other fantastic Radiohead albums

god Radiohead is one of the best bands ever 10/10

I liked it! Radiohead killer once again.

Favourite Songs: Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army?, I Might Be Wrong, Morning Bell/Amnesiac, Like Spinning Plates, Life In a Glasshouse

Experimental, but not in a good way. Felt like they were trying to make a Nine Inch Nails album. Not sure why this album is on this list.

Can see how it was influential with paving new ground. Good album but not easy listening.

Some parts of it were really nice, but overall it was kinda forgettable and it did not stand out with anything. But I will give it another listen.

Couple of good tracks but just couldn’t get into it.

i was excited because ive heard of these guys before but i actually didnt like it

Not my favorite Radiohead record, but it is still a Radiohead record.

Almost every Radiohead album I’ve heard has taken weeks, months, years to grow on me. I first listened to “Kid A” in about 2016, and wasn’t prepared to count it among my favourite albums until years later. “In Rainbows” didn’t live up to the hype for me when I first heard it four or so years ago, but when I reviewed it here I had to concede it was a five-star record. Even “The Bends”, which I always dismissed as “the album before things really got interesting”, is only just working its magic on me now. So, two weeks on from first hearing “Amnesiac”, I’m fully prepared to admit my opinion on it might change. But for now, it feels… relatively inessential. It’s 50% good-to-great Radiohead songs and 50% pretty transparent filler that didn’t make it onto the older sister album “Kid A”. I can’t quite buy the counter-argument that “Amnesiac” is on par with “Kid A” and people would have liked it more if it were released first. While it may have the same atmosphere, the same moody, glitchy electronics with a factory of twists and turns (exemplified in the muted, moody opening track), a lot of it smells suspiciously of filler. “Hunting Bears” is a couple of minutes of guitar licks. “Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors” is a throwaway exercise in electronics and distorted voice-over which disrupts the pace early on. We even end up with three minutes dedicated to a song also featured in “Kid A”, “Morning Bell”, in a drowsy, soporific arrangement which hardly does it any favours. Some of it, though, feels instantly essential. “Pyramid Song” is absolutely captivating, unwinding over a constantly shifting time signature I can’t quite work out across the course of the song. “You And Whose Army” shifts beautifully from hushed reprieve to epic climax. “I Might Be Wrong” is a surprisingly groovy, guitar-led track with some electronic flourishes. And it was wonderful to hear the brass section (used to stunning effect on Kid A’s “The National Anthem”) make a beguiling, idiosyncratic return in “Life in a Glasshouse”. Overall, “Amnesiac” is simply a good record from a band who have no excuse not to reach greatness. Here’s a wavering score which is more than likely to improve as the years go by.

- lots of interesting/weird sounds - in general I don’t like the moaning voice they use - songs don’t have a sense of direction/melody - usage of “boopy” technology sounds is cool - production is highlight I think, not many words - bpm is too low for me without other cool stuff going on - I did like pyramids song, and that it was sampled in let’s start here by yachty - it does just sound like b-sides from Kid A, which I don’t like either so - ok I admit there are at least a couple cool moments; trumpet and was cool - not enough for me to listen through the whole thing though

Pyramid Song, I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out

Pretty good 7/10

I just don't get Radiohead. They are super-popular so it's a "me" thing, but I really don't understand their music.

I’m not a Radiohead fan but this album is just mediocre. It’s completely forgettable, definitely not Radiohead’s best.

Weird and depressing. Well, that's like my two favourite things in the world. I also dig the noisiness, it's almost like this album was made specifically for me. Direct hit

Really smooth. Pyramid song is such a masterpiece genuinely Not their best album but the fact that Im giving them a 4 despite this says a lot about RH

Never have managed to get into Radiohead, nonetheless i enjoyed the album. I think it depends a lot on the mood. Liked "Knives out".

Radiohead has never really been my thing. They're a little too out there for me. This album was a fascinating listen though. Pyramid Song is great. All my favourite songs of theirs are on other albums though.

Eh, not my thing

classic radiohead. sounds like bonus tracks of OK Computer and I'm here for it.

Like 👍🏼

Front to back bomb tracks

Not my favorite of theirs.

Not a huge Radiohead fan, but this was the one I liked to listen to all the way through. It’s beautifully crafted with immaculate production. It’s underrated because it doesn’t have any massive hits

Ah Radiohead. I have to be in the right space to enjoy it and that space doesn't show up much. I could live a fine life without feeling like I missed out had I never heard it. Not a bad album, and it definitely had a space in my life when I was a younger human - but now it's too moody & whiney for me to want to hear it again.

Not bad, but not their best

Intéressant

So much to love about the album. From the weird songs, to the Radioheads classic sounds. Really enjoyed lessoning the whole way through

Forgettable

Somewhat sleepy for a no sleep title. I like their old stuff better than the newer stuff.

Kooky and inscrutable at times, though not as difficult to listen to as I recall. Still, I much prefer the earlier, more shallow but more melodic iteration of the band.

Meh, couple bangers, kinda boring.

Not too bad. Not a huge Radiohead fan though so biased.

# 84 : I really don't like Radiohead. This album didn't change my mind. They're overrated and this is not a good album. Nearly fell asleep on more than one occasion. Fav Track: I Might Be Wrong Listened: 10/10/2023

This is a great album i love All radiohead albums equally. I think this album has some weird songs but it also container so many amazing songs

good sounds like radiohead

I think I’ve yet to hear a Radiohead album that I thought was bad, but I’ve also yet to hear one that’s blown me away. They get so much love, I keep finding myself feeling let down despite finding the music pretty decent. Let’s see if today’s album can make me see them more wonderfully. Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army I think I can say with some level of confidence that this has been my favourite Radiohead album so far. I liked how the songs would blend together nicely. It makes it feel more like an album rather than a collection of songs. I definitely am realising why they don’t play Creep live any more (it’s not on this album, it’s just a note), as it’s so starkly different to most of their other songs. Overall, this was pretty good. Still not amazed though.

I love this album

I haven't heard this album in 10 years. First song is fine. Pyramid Song still spanks. Push/Pull Revolving Doors is more soundscape than song and feels like a reject from Kid A. You and Whose Army is a wonderfully weird song. I Might be Wrong is not my favorite song but I feel this song could realistically fit on any Radiohead album post-The Bends and would fit. I like the return of Radioheads heavy bass lines. Knives Out - Genuinely good song Morning Bell is the inferior version of the song. Dollars and Cents - Good but I do not and will not remember this song. Hunting Bears - Good soundscape Living in a Glass House - A solid end just feels like something is missing. I like this Radiohead album. It just feels like a 3/5 especially compared to all their other albums.

I really enjoyed pyramid song, you and whose army, knives out and life in a glass house but I would skip the rest

Couldn’t get through it in one listening… played it at the end of my work day and was kinda burnt out anyway. I know some talk about Radiohead as an acquired taste so hopefully I can get into them in the future. Hoping Kid A will show up soon so I can try that one out. They give me Pink Floyd vibes and I adore Pink Floyd so I’m sure they’ll turn around for me!

😞

I think radiohead is just not for me. This is so mid.

Rock, Radiohead-lyden, indie, stort lydunivers, lidt trist vibe

I mean… I genuinely feel sorry for people who dont love them as much as I do. This one especially takes you to another world. Amazing

Before listening: not the biggest Radiohead fan but I’ll give it a try Definitely an odd album, great vocals, weird lyrics, and good tunes. Not my favorite, a little whiny but I think that’s the appeal. Whole album felt like living in a minor key, kinda cool but not my vibe. Top songs: Pyramid song Knives out Like spinning plates

Weird at first, but good Gets better as album goes on

ДА БЛЯТЬ ЕБАНЫЙ РОТ ГДЕ ПЕСНЯ КРИП СУКИ 7/10

I love OK Computer and I know Radiohead's first three albums pretty well. However, for some reason I'd never heard Kid-A or Amnesiac before. I bought In Rainbows when it came out (it was the last CD I ever bought), played it once, didn't like it. I felt this needed a few playthroughs to get a fair opinion, so I listened to it four times. I know I like it now, but it doesn't feel perfect. Maybe it will end up as a 5 star album for me, but it's a 4 star one right now.

Kallt, metalliskt, och ganska svårtuggat. Stor skillnad mot mildare The Bends. Bäst är 'I Might Be Wrong' med sin big-beatiga produktion, och 'Knives Out', som är mest "radioheadig". Av de mer experimentella låtarna gillar jag 'Life In a Glasshouse' med sitt jazziga blås. Fantastisk avslutningslåt. Kommer alltid hylla experimentlusta, men vissa låtar är lite för svåra att komma in i för att albumet ska få högre betyg. Det är dock något jag kanske får revidera i framtiden, efter ytterligare lyssningar. Bästa låt: Knives Out.

Great album

Somber, melancholic, haunting, nice Sounds, sometimes experimental; 3,5/5 4,5/5 if in the Mood

Decent Radiohead album. Not any memorable tracks. Was able to listen in one sitting very easily.

Just not for me. None of the songs clicked.

Not really resonated with me. Maybe there would be a time it would. The start of the album seemed more discordant than anything else, but then... I got to I Might Be Wrong. It picks up a bit, but really... The album feels more like someone's mind going through the day to day horrors of life. Recently I've experienced more horrors of life than I'd prefer. So maybe that is why it is bringing me down. It resonates with me, but not in a way I'd like. Like trying to play a song, but you get the wrong notes.

Way different than I expected Radiohead to be. I always thought their music would be heavier/more metal adjacent. I need to learn more about the production of this album.

i found it to be pretty boring. No Tracks stood out either.

Kid A was a dream. A frigid, postmodernist dream experienced by a soul unable to process its own emotions, and holding back any clear feelings it goes through--doubting them, even. It's a dream about modern alienation--a weird dream that might or might not be linked to the influence hypertechnology has upon us all, disconnecting us to ourselves instead of connecting us to others. Underlining this state of affairs at the turn of the millenium, the pardoxical miracle that this record operates is unique. The more feelings in it are repressed--the more their expression is muddled by static, oversaturation and informational entropy--, the more kindred souls can be moved by the failed attempts of Kid A's protagonist to convey their emotions in any recognizable or expected manner. Some of this thematic groundwork is covered by the lyrics, but most of it is expressed through the music itself. And contrary to what happens in Radiohead's other masterpiece *OK Computer*, emotions in *Kid A* surge out of a lack of emphasis, and not through a wealth of it. This is where the oneiric character of the record is pivotal. Disconnection and alienation are so prominent in its aesthetics, everything looks and sounds like a dream. It's not even clear if it's a good one or a bad one. *Amnesiac* is the companion piece to *Kid A*, recorded during the same sessions. And it feels like waking up from the dream that *Kid A* was. You try to pick the pieces in the morning and solve the puzzle. What was this strange dream about? What is wrong with me? Is there a way out of the labyrinth? You ask those questions to yourself as you're taking the tube to work, you and other commuters "packed like sardines in crushed tin box". Whiffs of the dream come back to haunt you in those waking hours (that other version of "Morning Bell"). You look tired and despondent and worried. And after a while, as you start contemplating the "real" world--real but kafkaesque, dystopian--you wonder if the dream is not actually going on. Except that this time, any sense of elatedness is gone. Only melancholy and frustration remain. *Amnesiac* is therefore less cohesive, more disjointed than *Kid A* is, but such disjointed aesthetics also serve a purpose in this record. And the album's got highlights every genuine Radiohead already knows about and love. It's got "Pyramid Song", a song for the ages with its strange meter, Escher-like chord progression and tortured wails in the dark. It's got the paranoid, dry and hieratic "You And Whose Army". It's got "Knives Out" and the cyberpunk, Bladerunner-like moodpiece "Like Spinning Plates", with its inverted vocal parts sounding like telepathic brain waves reaching your skull from afar. It's got cyclic "I Might be Wrong" and the brass-band-enhanced cri du coeur "Life In A Glasshouse". It's got soul and anxiety and so many questions for you. And just like *Kid A*, those question marks can resonate in you long after you've listened to the album. 4,5/5 for the purposes of this app, rounded up to 5 here. Number of albums left to review: 424 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 265 (including this one) Albums from the list might* include in mine later on: 141 Albums from the list I won't include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 175

Det er banger, men 4.3 pga revolving doors, ved ikke lige hvad de lavede der.
