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.
Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box- 4.6/5 Pyramid Song- 5/5 Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors- 4.3/5 You and Whose Army?- 5/5 I Might Be Wrong- 5/5 Knives Out- 5/5 Morning Bell / Amnesiac- 5/5 Dollars and Cents- 4.8/5 Hunting Bears- 3.7/5 Like Spinning Plates- 4.1 Life in a Glasshouse- 5/5 Total- 4.7/5
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

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.
The music in here is quite stunning at times. The vocals essentially sound like 45 minutes of whining though. Favorite track: Like Spinning Plates
definitely experimental, but i vibed with it.
Some good ones; some too experimental. Doesn't compare to OK Computer. 8.5/10
2/5. I don’t usually mind Radiohead albums, but they begin to become repetitive to me. Amnesiac really didn’t differ itself too much from their other albums, but I did particularly like the song “Hunting Bears.”
Interesting Album
A bit long and droning, experimental millennium rock. Complex, but not my go to sit down kinda music. I enjoyed Kid A more than this one. Listened twice, good but doesnt grab me.
How are they so popular WTF
No way this is Radiohead. Sounds like some poorly created electronic music on Garage Band
Turn of the century electronica/exotica/cabaret combined with turn of the century singer-songwriter. I didn't find it very interesting. I do like that they did a track with Humphrey Lyttelton though, it’s the best on the album.
First time with this album and I can see it growing on me even more. It's got a more chill vibe and the jazz influence on a few track adds a nice little extra.
Aah, I wrote a whole review comparing and contrasting Amnesiac to Kid A but obviously didn’t save it. Bugger
Head before: yes I have a sneaking suspicion that if I were to listen to this 20 more times it might become my favorite R****head. As it is, I can say that I enjoyed it significantly more than when it first came out, and I thought it was just endless whining and wanking. It *is* endless whining and wanking, but there is significantly more depth than I gave it credit for, cool melodies, rhythms and ideas hidden in the loam. It helps to listen to it in the rain in London on a crisp day. Until that 20th listen though, this one is for the ‘Head heads. Top tracks: Pyramid Song, I Might Be Wrong, Life In A Glasshouse
Both this and “Kid A” are uneven albums for me. They both definitely have some of Radiohead’s finest work on it. But then there are some real head-scratchers on it as well. I had gotten “Kid Amnesia,” the anniversary release, but I have yet to listen to it. Hearing it all in one block, I am not sure if I will change my mind about the album. All in all, the band is growing and trying new things which is still great. And when it works, it’s truly an amazing moment. “Pyramid Song” is easily one of the most amazing things I’ve ever heard. So haunting, and the way the drums come in and completely turn the beat around… chills for me every time. “Life In A Glass House” seemed like such a grand experiment back then, now it’s also a song of theirs I really love. never got into “Knives Our”, it seems unfinished to me. I can imagine trying to follow “OK Computer” is not so easy. Moving into a different style seems very risky. But I think it works more in “Kd A,” even though this has some songs that are better, imo.
I never understood why people got so turned off by this Radiohead album and the closely linked previous album Kid A when they loved OK Computer so much. To me, it's the natural progression from all the experimenting and electronica in OK Computer to these two. Now if you want to bitch and moan that it's different from The Bends, fine. But it's still a good album. Not my favorite of theirs, but the first half still has some beautiful soft pieces (Pyramid Song), some crunchier rock pieces (Knives Out), and several that just like OK Computer nicely blend rock and electronica to almost sound rock, even if it's looped beats from time to time (Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box, You and Whose Army?, I Might Be Wrong). Yeah, I zoned out a little on the last half of the album but the last song Life in a Glasshouse is really cool with the jazz and trumpet sounds. Not quite Radiohead at their peak, but still real solid.
4.0 + A better version of “Pisces Iscariot” by the Smashing Pumpkins. They’ve polished up some of the lesser tracks from the “Kid A” sessions and put together a surprisingly listenable album that can be enjoyed with just a couple of skips. Standouts: “You And Whose Army?”, “Pyramid Song”, “Like Spinning Plates”, “Life In a Glasshouse.”
Love
Gorgeous. Could not stop listening to this album.
In the ever-evolving landscape of alternative music, Radiohead stands as a monolithic force of innovation and sonic exploration. "Amnesiac," the band's 2001 release, is a bewitching journey into the depths of their artistry, offering a disorienting yet deeply rewarding listening experience. This album, often considered a companion piece to its predecessor, "Kid A," deserves recognition for its enigmatic charm and audacious creativity. Clocking in at just over 40 minutes, "Amnesiac" feels like a dreamscape woven together from fragments of forgotten memories. The opening track, "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box," sets the tone with its glitchy beats and Thom Yorke's haunting falsetto. It's an unsettling introduction, inviting the listener to venture further into Radiohead's labyrinthine world. One of the standout tracks, "Pyramid Song," is a masterpiece of melancholia. With its ethereal piano melodies and Yorke's poignant lyrics, it evokes a sense of longing and existential contemplation. The accompanying strings create a sense of weightlessness, as if the listener is floating through an otherworldly realm. "Knives Out" brings a more straightforward rock vibe to the album, with its catchy guitar riff and Yorke's cryptic storytelling. It's a testament to Radiohead's ability to balance experimental elements with more accessible songwriting, providing a bridge for those who may find the album's overall sound too unconventional. "Amnesiac" also delves into electronic experimentation, most notably in tracks like "I Might Be Wrong." The pulsating rhythm and Yorke's distorted vocals create a sense of disorientation, mirroring the album's overarching theme of memory and its unreliability. It's a track that feels like it's constantly on the verge of unraveling, keeping the listener in a state of suspense. The album's title track, "Amnesiac," is a short but impactful interlude, with eerie vocal effects that reinforce the album's surreal atmosphere. It serves as a brief respite before plunging back into the enigma. Radiohead's sonic explorations reach their zenith with "Like Spinning Plates." The song is a disorienting experience, with Yorke's vocals reversed and reconstructed, creating an unsettling sense of distortion. It's a testament to the band's willingness to push boundaries and challenge conventional notions of song structure. Closing with "Life in a Glasshouse," "Amnesiac" takes an unexpected turn into jazz-inflected territory. With a mournful brass section and Yorke's emotive delivery, the track feels like a lamentation for a world that's slipping away. It's a poignant conclusion to an album that constantly questions reality and memory. "Amnesiac" may not be Radiohead's most immediately accessible work, but it rewards those who are willing to dive deep into its intricate layers. It's an album that challenges preconceptions, blurring the lines between genres and emotions. With its enigmatic aura and sonic experimentation, it's a testament to Radiohead's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what music can be. In the end, "Amnesiac" is a haunting, elusive masterpiece that continues to captivate listeners with its intricate tapestry of sound. It's a reminder that Radiohead's legacy is built not only on their commercial successes but also on their unwavering dedication to artistic evolution. This album stands as a testament to the band's audacious creativity and their willingness to venture into the unknown, inviting listeners to join them on a mesmerizing journey into the depths of their musical psyche.
good. more edgy.
I just don't like Radiohead
it's alright, certainly not my favourite Radiohead album
vaikea albumi. vaikea albumi. paljon mössöä tässä, mutta niin oli seinässäkin ja sille annettiin vitosta. pyramidi song on populääri hitti, joo on hitti tarvi kiistellä ja mielestäni myös paras, joka on yleensä huono indikaattori, mutta tykkään suurimmasta osasta albumista kuitenkin.... hadioread sesonki kyllä käynnissä kun kuukauden sisään tulee joka suunnasta albumia heh... perkele oli tämä hyvä. 5 mainoskatkoa tuli kun pistin koneelle soimaan enkä jaksanut klikkaillla... häiritsi objevctive kokemusta...ehkä saman verran tähtiä kun katkoja kuitenkin annetaan heh.... pyramid song
It’s Radiohead, so you kinda know what you’re gonna get. Not bad, but nothing really stands out.
Algumas músicas bem boas. Tem a clássica Pyramid Song, o que já é incrível. É uma ótima mistura de rock triste com eletrônica
Excelente
Definitely different
Solid radiohead album, with some bangers (pyramid song will always be one of my favs), would be a 3.5 stars
No
Pretty boring album even for ambient electronic
Absolute rubbish
What a masterpiece! This is what rock in the 21st century is. The way they play as a band mixing different sounds and making them into a song is like a painter mixing colors in a canvas and coming out with a full picture. Johnny Greenwood is by far a genius
For me it's way too experimental, trying to combine different sounds and noises, it works, but for my taste I would listen once or twice in my lifetime
pretty sad tunes kinda chill
Reminds me of a dream - great finishing song in life in a glasshouse.
i won't listen radiohead even if they paid me
Life in a glasshouse so good
a headphones album. an album u must listen to in headphones. way better than I remember. opener goes ridiculous pyramid song is great as always sonics on push pulk doors are impeccable as always etc etc. idk why id never taken this album seriously before. loads of great tracks. knives out is up there with their best. the one song im not sure about and that makes this feel like a kid b is the morning bell redo. good stuff altogether. could be a 5 upon revisits
Not alone or sad enough to get into it today
it’s radiohead, it’s fine
sounds like depression and trippin balls
Seichter unaufgeregter Rock.
i've listened to this one previously. the first half or so is great, from packt like sardines to knives out. after knives out it is not very good, and not really worth bothering listening to. but that first stretch is good!
Not a bad song on the album and some of my all time favorites, including Pyramid Song, Knives Out, and Hunting Bears.
This was an extremely uneven album. Almost half of the songs are nonsense and feels like they're there to tie the good songs together or set the mood of the album, one quarter is quite good - like 'Knives Out', 'I Might Be Wrong', 'Dollars and Cents', and the other quarter is ok. How do you rate that? I think I'll actually give it a strong 2 for once instead of weak 3. I just feel like the weak songs drag down the overall impression way too much to ignore.
This is a Radiohead album I never really listened to but I really enjoyed it, it's something with the dissonant melodies like in "Knives Out" and guitar riffs like that one in "I might be wrong" that just sits well with me. While it lacked hits like it's predecessors Kid A, The bends and Ok Computer it still was a nice listen and sounded pretty similar. Radiohead albums usually take a few listens for me to get into so maybe this one will get better in time.
One to sink into and let wash through you. This album captures the anxiety and anomie of the millennium - the dark depths below the shallow sheen of Blairism and Brit-poptimism. Unsettling poly-rhythms, dissonant harmonies, glistening shimmering textures that shift and mutate as instruments come in and out, fade outs where you realize there's been a guitar hiding in the mix that entire time, that warbling thin and piercing singing (I get way it's not universally loved, but it works so well for this music - how insane would this sound if they had a normal rock singer on this?!), the fluttering panning what is that sound snyths, electronica inspired drums and bass, melting horns and washed out strings. Korn for softboys, dance music for shut-ins, this is dismal and alienating exploration of the dismal and alienating feelings of shiny glass cities and the empty boom of the FIRE economy.
another Radiohead album and again I didn't like it... some songs were way worse than In Rainbows but a couple of them are quite passable
moody, atmospheric, fantastic. the sequencing is incredible, nothing feels out of place at all. kinda feels like kid a on sleeping medication, but like in a good way. best tracks: pyramid song, life in a glasshouse, you and whose army?
I kind of passively listened to this album today while I "worked". It's not their best stuff by any means but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I will give it 4 stars.
I think they're geniuses but this totally misses the mark for me.
Forgot to write any tunes lol
Kinda cool. Depression as an album. I would've loved this as a teenager. Reminds me of James Blake, Low Roar and Sigur Rós at the beginning. Liked almost every song, I think. I feel it.
I like the mix of genres. It grows on me the more I listen to it, but right now I still don't fully understanding (or maybe I'm not in the right mood). I think I like it more than Kid A. Very interesting!

Una mica mansió de terror Spinning plates —> tot es mou del revés molt de pressa fricció Moltes coses alhora, contrast amb quan hi ha només sintes o coses d’aquestes es com BOOOM BOOOM xt xt i a més amb lo senzilla q es la veu i lo dolça fa q cridi l’atenció enmig del caos i es llueixi en els moments de calma
The worst era of Radiohead.
I can see how some don’t like it, but the super cerebrial, almost ghostish voice of Thom Yorke is indelibly seared into my head as interesting and not ott. But I think that’s also because I came of age during the Napster era when they reigned as the mainstream “thinking man’s” music
3.5. I've only listened to The Bends fully and a bit of Pablo Honey and A Moon Shaped Pool. I did quite enjoy The Bends but I haven't quite connected with their other material. This album is quite hit or miss.
nektery pisnicky docela fajn, ale overall nuda, asi jsem se na to v tu chvili necitil
Sounded all the same, anxious and noisy
Radiohead is not a band for me it seems. I'm beginning to wonder if they're a "you had to be there" band.
Sorry, I'm not depressed and this music doesn't do it for me! Production was great... 3/5
Even unpopular Radiohead albums are full of gems
Loved it!
Альбом гипнотизирует. Меланхоличный. Снова прослушать его желание не появляется, но разовое путешествие было очень интересным.
idk
Jsuis VRAIMENT pu capable d’endurer ça ptite voix geignarde de pleurnicheur sur cette instru de BS.
Radiohead is a weird way yo start a Friday, but I didn’t hate it.
I want you to know He's not coming back Look into my eyes I'm not coming back So knives out Catch the mouse Don't look down Shove it in your mouth If you'd been a dog They would've drowned you at birth Look into my eyes It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth So knives out Cook him up Squash his head Put him in the pot I want you to know He's not coming back He's bloated and frozen Still there's no point in letting it go to waste So knives out Catch the mouse Squash his head Put him in the pot Basically Kid A part 2, and thats not a bad thing. 4/5
Who needs Radiohead on a Monday morning, especially when returning to work after some lovely annual leave?! Not me, that’s for sure. I just don’t understand them or their music.
TIL there's a little drawing of a guy on this cover. I never saw it before but had it up on the PC Spotify and it was finally large enough to see. Mind blown 🤯. 3/5 music though
a really chill mellow radiohead album that I actually enjoyed
I'm probably supposed to like this, but no.
I’m just not into the whole Radiohead vibe. I want to like them, I just don’t.
Good I guess.
