Amnesiac

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!

Tot molt literal: Llaunes —> enllaunada Piràmide —> Egipte Coherent i tal Molt hardware?? M’explico? Indie fosc suposo Veu delicada però maca, no com the cure per exemple, innocent? 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.

I’m such a huge Radiohead fan that even an album like this, which most don’t think is their best effort, starts with a presumptive 5. Call it the Radiohead floor. But they earn it here with Knives Out and a Pyramid Song alone. Pyramid Song in particular is just epic. It really rises so far above most music of the time. But to me Dollars and Cents sounds like classic melodic Radiohead, I Might Be Wrong sounds like classic guitar-band Radiohead, and Sardines sounds like a bridge between Kid A and the Radiohead sound that was to come in the ensuing decade. And You and Whose Army is just so pensive. Those are all songs I like to sit and listen to. Others aren’t, but they’re still good: Pulk/Pull, Spinning Plates, Hunting Bears and Glasshouse for me represent the band’s willingness to experiment with new sounds and constantly evolve, but all in different ways (from dueling guitars to New Orleans jazz), which is what makes Radiohead so great. Even so far as to take a song they had just recorded on their last album (Morning Bell) and rerecord it here in a different time signature. None of those are meant to be the next hit single. They’re just the product of talented, curious musicians who found them interesting. Yeah, still a five, and I think they’ve earned it.

I really like this album. Even one of Radioheads worst is ingenious, but I can’t give it a five because some songs are just hard to listen to

what a trip listening to this immediately after the Bends. I basically agree with Jacob’s assessment. The first 5 or 6 songs are stellar. Then it just starts to sound like b-side ideas and jimmying. I quite like Hunting Bears tho. That did something to me.

To listen to Radiohead around the Kid A period, you have to be in a kind of a bummer mood. This is, after all, the most successful bummer band. I love these albums, they're evergreen to me... I discover new things in them the older I get, that 16-year-old me didn't see or understand. The lyrics alone you could spend a long time on. It always surprises me how alien Radiohead starts to sound at this point. Alienated from the sound and styles of the late 90s / 2000's, kind of lonely in their pursuit to get to the natural conclusion of this sound. And their sound palette alienates the listener a lot of the time. It's that mix of those noisy, antisocial, uninterested blasts of drum machines with the refined sound of Nigel Godrich's orchestration. And Thom Yorke has that quality to anything he sings... arresting. The bittersweet, tonal, in the same way a theremin solo can almost make you cry. This is supposed to be the Pt 2 of Kid A, but to me it still feels like half Part 2, and half b-sides or slightly less polished demos from those sessions. Once we get past Knives Out, things get a little muddy. And there is some muddiness earlier than that as well. but then Life In A Glasshouse comes around, which kind of puts the whole project in context. Thom Yorke as jazz crooner of this dysfunctional band. Kind of an incredible ending. I'm on the edge between 4 and 5. I am going to round down for the slightly messy middle. But really, hard to argue with those first few songs. 4/5

Dank and lonely. Pyramid song is pure beauty!

4.5

Honestly was just ok. Mostly I just sat down the whole time thinking when will the album will be over. I would give this album a 3/5

An overall much more consistent Radiohead album in its tone and quality compared to most of their albums, but it doesn't nearly reach the highs of any of their other albums on the list, including stuff like Hail to the Thief. Still a solid record for the consistency and high polish, but it does feel like it's riding off the high of Kid A. Great album, otherwise. Seem pretty negative here but I should specify that this is still great. Would have loved more of that jazz influence we see at the end.

This is more interesting than I was expecting it to be. I don't know more electronic. These guys have never done for me, but this was fine to listen to.

Today I will take issue with this being the fifth Radiohead album in this project. Over two-thirds the way through, I believe there are other artists I haven't heard from who deserve to be here more. This just didn't stand out. That said, this often had a very cool sound that I appreciated, like you were somewhere special late, late at night with the last folks at a party. It also sounds like no one on this album had slept in days, that they were absolutely weary and dreary and barely able to stand up. Thom Yorke's vocals, in fact, sound like he's already dead and his ghost is haunting the studio.

I am growing somewhat fond of Radiohead. Kind of a moody groove that I could slip into today, although it wouldn't fit me every day

Very nice.

I love Kid A so it is little wonder I love this too. It might be a little less broody and dark but still packs a punch. One of the great albums to feed the disillusionment time has bestowed upon me.

9/10

It's impossible to talk about this album without talking about the companion album, Kid A. Originally planned as a double album, Radiohead decided to break the massive recording sessions into two releases. That decision allowed Kid A to shine on its own. Amnesiac is the less impressive of the two albums but helped solidify their status as one of the best bands of the 2000s and not limited to their electronic direction of the last album. When these two albums were reissued together, it was a joy to hear then side by side as orginally intended. But it needed to have been separated at the time to have worked.

It’s alright.It’s mainly just beats and noises.Atmospheric.Pretty empty and kinda boring at some times.Thom yorks vocals are great as always but tbh I didn’t really dig this album that much.

Good. Not my thing.

I thought I liked Radiohead - this album proved otherwise.

starts off with some super interesting sounds on Packt in Like Sardines... this album is okay, a little depressing for my taste

8,6/10

Pretty good

So much going on on this album, lots of mood shifts, interesting instrumentation and arrangements. They really expand their range and for the most part it's satisfying, but I know they have even better albums I should listen to again. I do like it a lot!

Forgot how much I enjoy Radiohead. Not an album I’ve listened to much but liked it a lot

What I imagine death sounds like

I don’t judge people for not liking this album. God will judge them and send them to hell.

Cheer up Radiohead it might never happen

Some pretty great Radiohead tracks on this but there’s also a few less interesting or lack luster cuts as well but I’m pretty sure this is made from the same recording session as kid a unless I’m talkin out of my ass. Would def give it a listen if you already like Radiohead but this def isn’t the first Radiohead record I’d show to someone. Best tracks: Life in a glasshouse Pyramid song Knives out Morning bell/amnesiac Dollars and cents

3.1 just meh, it's still a good album overall but given it's radiohead i'm always expecting moree fave songs: knives out, you and whos army?

Ok

I'm a big Radiohead fan so this is straightforward for me. This is a musically strange random album about fear and isolation. It is one of the greatest albums ever created. Considered by many to be the rejects from KidA but there are many tracks on here I consider very highly and in fact better than on the earlier album.

it's radiohead

I love radiohead and this album is a great one. I haven't listened to many songs off of this before, but it's really just a great blend.

Bit depressing for the summertime vibes

Boring. I’m indifferent to it.

I was already familiar with 3 songs, and Radiohead in general, but this album blew me away. The album encapsulates the worst emotions, the sheer eeriness of these tracks is harrowing to me (in a good way). There is not a single bad song on this album, I love how the experimental and haunting nature of the record intertwine with each other. Favorites: Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box / Pyramid Song / You And Whose Army? / I Might Be Wrong / Knives Out / Morning Bell/Amnesiac / Dollars and Cents / Like Spinning Plates / Life In a Glasshouse

early 2000’s radiohead is the best radiohead. definitely their most sonically diverse album ever. perfect blend between all hail the thief (my fav album of theirs) and kid a. fav songs: pakt like sardines in a crushd tin can, pulk/pull revolving doors, i might be wrong, like spinning plates, life in a glasshouse.

Not the best of Radiohead

An incredible piece of work

Feels like a proto-hail to the thief but a reaction to kid A

not sure about it as far as radiohead goes, songs were too long and nothing stood out to me amongst all the noise.

Classic radiohead

ive not heard kid a, so this is kinda contextless - doesnt have most of the stuff that i like in radiohead fave track: knives out?

This was fine, definitely not their best or my favorite by them.

Not my favourite Radiohead album, too whiny.

I'm very glad that Radiohead decided to separate Kid A and Amnesiac instead of making a double album, because the net products are a great album, and this album. Amnesiac feels like a less whole album to me; it almost feels like session B-sides. There are some gems in here though, so it's not all that bad. But off the top of my head, it's easily in the bottom-3 of Radiohead albums.

Like it but not as much as Kid A.

Has aged well. Sounds better than it did over two decades ago.

Radiohead is on the list of bands that every time I hear their work, my listening ears are intensely interested, yet somehow I don't pursue their music. However, as with other bands on that list (like Muse), I had a strong feeling they'd grow on me, and this album seems to building a case for that theory. Radiohead calls to mind for me bands like Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, and Muse, not so much in the content of their compositions and performances but in their ever-evolving approach to music. Like those other bands I love, they seem to work hard not to repeat themselves, and I admire that. To me, it's one of the most difficult places to reach in one's art: finding new ways to express oneself without simply experimenting for experimentation's sake. I don't claim any clairvoyance and I am as easily fooled as anyone, I suppose. I can only share my own personal subjective experience with the art as I encounter it. I'll definitely come back to this album and I'm motivated more now to explore their catalog.

9/10 (не 10 потому что это не мой любимый альбом у радиохэд). Эта музыка вытаскивает из меня всю возможную и невозможную хтонь. А ещё сразу вспоминаю Зака. Боже, я могу вечно переслушивать этот альбом. Всем, кто оценил его меньше, чем на 5 из 5 в этом рейтинге желаю дикого поноса.

I knew within 20 seconds of this starting that I was going to hate it. And so it came to pass.

Better than easy a, but still not for me. More diversity yet still experimental. I appreciate that there are more vocals

So this is supposed to be a bunch of throwaway songs that didn't make the cut for Kid A? I'm so glad to live in the same timeframe as Radiohead.

In my top 3 of Radiohead's great discography. A masterpiece.

This powerful album knows exactly where to pull all the heartstrings in my soul.

I've loved Kid A ever since it came out, but I never realized this album existed. I've never paid much attention to Radiohead otherwise, for shame. That said, it's basically just Kid A part 2, so I obviously loved it!

I must admit I always looked down on Kid A’s less popular brother, it had come out too quickly after the world was blown away that it kind of felt like a cash out. And besides Radiohead at the time were harping about both albums being written at the same time meaning it felt like a b-side album. But now, after all these years with fresh ears - it’s a good one - probably one of the more underestimate neo-Radiohead records, albeit a bit on the darker side, it’s still a gripping listen.

Absolutely fantastic follow up to kid a

Not the most consistent Radiohead record as the second half tails off slightly (until the incredible Life in a Glasshouse) but the first half is incredibly strong and contains some of their most fragile and beautiful songs

fajne

I always fall asleep when listening to Radiohead, so I think it was good but missed the last few tracks. It’s their typical “music from an advanced form of intelligence” format. Lost of odd sounds, instrumentation and lyrics that are passive aggressive. 4/5

No way. This is my second favorite album - right after kid a -

This is about the point where they lost me. I loved The Bends and OK Computer but after that they just got a little too downbeat and drony.

I know it's meant to be a big album but it was relaxing and a bit boring to me, sorry 2 stars.

I wanted to like this when it came out, but I don’t really enjoy the art noise of Radiohead. Kid A was probably a bit better.

shit hated the album. In part with KID A.

eh eu gosto de ok computer e rainbows e não sou muito fan de kid a. pelo que eu ouvi dizer esse album é kid a 2, então sei la. radiohead é uma banda complicada, justamente por eles inovarem demais pra um lado depressivo, algumas das musicas nesse album são pra mim aconchegantes de alguma forma, mas tambem são bem esqueciveis. pyramid song é legal, cabe bem nessa descrição q eu acabei de dar. eu gosto da maneira como ela é repetitiva nos acordes mas com novos elementos cada vez. agora vem pulk que é exatamente o que eu não gosto em kid a. you and whose army é boa tambem, o jeito como evolui pra uma explosão lembra ok computer. glasshouse soa como jazz meio king crimson ate. em geral é um bom album, preferi bem mais que kid a. talvez eu não seja avançado o suficiente ainda pra entender a suposta genialidade de kid a, mas eu não ligo, esse album me soa como musica consistente mesmo e não puro caotismo repetitivo eletronico, e é isso que importa. talvez eu tenha que re escutar kid a? nah eu não quero.

Loved it. One of those albums you listen to alone at 3am just taking in the atmosphere.

Not a huge Radiohead fan. Album was mediocre.

This was the point at which I started liking Radiohead's album covers more than the music. I miss the guitars. It's not even that this sounds bad and several moments draw me in, but this also puts me to sleep after a bit. I'm an old man and I require an old man's rock n roll. I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, and Life in a Glasshouse are all standouts. It just ain't the experience I want going in.

I'm seemingly immune to the charms of this band. I scored Limp Bizkit one star higher than this album the other day. You know what? I'm not wrong.

I'm gonna blow up the curve here slightly. Genuinely expected to be cool on this one after not listening to it for a number of years, but I enjoyed almost all of it. In fact, I really quite like the back half of it from "I Might Be Wrong" onward through to the end. It's moody and explores a bit without ever feeling too tedious or dull to me. And then the whole thing culminates with a jazzy sad ditty. What can I say? It works for me.

first time listening favorite you and whose army? least favorite pulk/ pull revolving doors

Not bad, Thom, not bad. Radiohead: the band I’ve tried and tried and tried again to get into, but I just didn’t get it. However! I enjoyed Amnesiac. It had all that experimental Radiohead stuff, but some cohesiveness, too. There were elements of jazz, electronic and rock music with Thom Yorke’s haunting voice. Enjoyable. Best tracks: Pyramid Song, Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors and I Might Be Wrong. This album makes me a bit more excited for several upcoming Radiohead albums in the future.

I've always been under the impression that Amnesiac was a b-sides album, but understanding that it was recorded with the intention of essentially being a split double album seems to ring truths to me now I'm relistening to it. There's definitely purpose to the album that I didn't hear before. As for the review, it's Radiohead. Easy 5. Something about these guys just resonates so hard with me through this time. Definitely didn't at the time, but as I get older they sound stronger and better.

3.5/5

it’s mostly whiny tom yorke that lets the air out of this band

11/12

Listened Before? N I've never heard any part of this album before. I believe this is the 4th or 5th Radiohead album I've gotten off this list now, and it's my least favorite. Not bad, just not anything that stands out. It's slow and weird and I'm not high enough for it. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Knives Out

This is what comes to my mind when I think about Radiohead, and unfortunately is the worst Radiohead album I got on the 1001 list (this is the sixth Radiohead album I got here). It's sad that, since they are a band I like, the "standard" song that comes to my mind is not their best work and instead is this one. This is a 2-star album with an extra point for the excellent jazzy last song.

On est en terrain connu de Radiohead, avec un aspect électronique plus développé et intrigant. Prend parfois des proportions cinématographiques, ou encore une dimension de recueillement. Sûrement mon album de Radiohead favori, si on excepte OK Computer

Had er meer van verwacht. De leukste nummers zijn wel tof, maar het niet waard om door de nikszeggende onzinnummers te gaan. Misschien ben ik niet intelligent genoeg om het te waarderen. Ach

Not bad, but really does feel like Kid A rejects.

already listened to it. one of my lesser favourite radiohead albums but i don't dislike it

4* as I’m Radiohead Neek BUT it ain’t Kid A

4.25

el primer tema el agudito de morning bell se acuerdan del video de knives out? que locuuura muchas estrellas

Es Radiohead, es oro puro siempre. Sonidos que te resuenan por todo el cuerpo, y llegan a las emociones. Les amo.

¿Cómo hacer un disco perfecto? Amnesiac es la respuesta. Siempre me pareció el disco más infravalorado de la historia, cuando lo sacaron y ahora también. No tiene tema flojo, es totalmente conceptual. Luego de In Rainbows mi prefe. Cierra el disco con, a mi gusto, el mejor tema de Radiohead y uno de mis prefes de la vida, el de la casa de vidrio. Siento que Thom descolla más que nunca acá. Y las baterías??? puffff un descontrol. Las capas de viola... nah nah que maravilla de disco por favor. Gracias Radiohead por existir, sos como el mar y las montañas.

Cinco estrellas indiscutidas

Este está entre los 50 álbumes a escuchar antes de morir

I like the vibe

The first three tracks are Radiohead leaning way too hard into what made OK Computer unique--musically, that's not an interesting way to start an album. But then the rest of the tracks are leaning into what made OK Computer good, which is the music ultimately. Still a really good album, but this is a pretty massive step back from OK Computer. Favorite track: Knives Out

I forgot how good Hunting Bears is. This album in general is better than I recall but that song in particular is great. I’m not sure Radiohead has a bad album. This is a 4 star

There were some nice tracks in here, but unfortunately there were a few too many that felt like just whininess on top of dissonance. It had potential but some of the artistic choices were just a bit over the top.

Solid album, very smooth to listen to

Amnesiac (and Miles Davis' In A Silent Way) has contributed more, from a technical perspective, to the recording of popular music than any other album made in the last...60 years? Yup. I do believe this.

слишком много эхо бля

lite wonky och deppigt. experimentellt. gillar radiohead som rock men inte deras vibe. 3.2

My favorite Radiohead album.

When I was younger I really didn't like this album, but there's at least eight good songs on this album. Many are much better live.

Radiohead is just not my vibe. I feel like I only ever hear about 1 or 2 of their songs and whenever I try another song, I just loose interest immediately. I can get behind the jazzy bit in "Life In a Glasshouse" because it's not just a solo whinefest.

Not my favorite Radiohead album.

A little out there for me to just have on and listen to. 2.5

Radiohead at its finest. Weird, enigmatic and very memorable.

Despite this feeling like a reminder of a musical phase I'm no longer a part of (I loved many of the Radiohead records when I was younger but never really spent time with Amnesiac) the electronic textures, melodies, and endless eerie/melancholy moods still hit me in a special way. When this music matches your mood, it's sublime. One star deducted for the fact that there aren't many tracks that jump out as individually memorable with the possible exception of Pyramid Song because of all the hooplah surrounding its time signature.

depressed boards of canada

Is this supposed to make me feel depressed?

I like this era of Radiohead quite a bit. This, OK Computer and Kid A are a holy trinity to me. This may be the weakest of the bunch as it's something of Kid A leftovers, but its still great.

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: It was ok, had a nice somber feel to it Favourite song: Track 2 - Pyramid Song

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Pyramid song, You and whose army, Knives out, Morning bell/Amnesiac

A real good album. Radioheads second worst album 4

i’ve already heard this 😭

Helt okej.

Kind of melancholy, atmospheric

4.5

I've never listened to this as an album before (as opposed to individual songs off it). It's great! Still only 4* - more an 8/10 than a 9/10.

Genesis for Pixies fans. Now, reconciling the tension between alt rock and prog rock is no mean feat. But I'm real tired of hearing how everything before Radiohead was banging on rocks, while everything after is a cheap knockoff. I Might Be Wrong can stay.

3. Enjoyed this and would listen again but probably wouldn't buy.

Love this album.

Sleepy stuff. However, I will say that the album is appropriately titled. Five minutes after it was done playing, I couldn't remember why I'd listened to it in the first place.

Genres: Experimental rock, electronica, alternative rock Formed: Run time: 11 songs, 43 min, 57 sec All the tracks have at least 8M plays on Spotify, many have over 30M and “Pyramid Song” has over 60M plays. They have a very good following! This album is so depressing. I can’t imagine who the target audience are. If you weren’t down before listening, you would be by the end. If you were already depressed, it would tip you over the edge. I can see they aren’t afraid to experiment and they are blazing there own trail, which is commendable in a world of commercialised crap. It’s just not for me. My Rating: ***

Like this album, but it's not my favorite of theirs. Really like Morning Bell / Amnesiac

Pretty good

Moody broody. Good to listen to on the bus. Not my fave Radiohead album.

Brilliant album, brilliant band!

Radiohead said that this album wasn’t leftovers from Kid A but I sure as hell sounds like leftovers from Kid A. It’s still Radiohead though, right?

5. It's Radiohead, always happy to listen to them.

Ehkä radiohead ei vaan ole mun juttu. Ei niin hyvä levy ekalla kuuntelulla. En tyrmää, voisi kasvaa ajan kanssa mutta nyt 2☆

Love Radiohead, love some tracks on here. But it's possibly their weakest album.

Oh nooo I did not like this album. I cannot say anything positive about this. His voice was bad the music was bad bad bad. I did not like this.

Next cloudless night you're out in the country - far away from any city lights - get in the car and find an isolated place to park, then put on the song "Pyramid Song" at top volume, turn out all the lights, and lie down and stare up at the universe. It will change your life. Additionally 20 years on and I still can't entirely get the timing right on that song. Which I kind of enjoy that it's still a challenge. (also: if your wife hates Radiohead this album *really* isn't gonna change her mind and I'm not gonna push it (e.g. "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" on the stereo would get me a tent in the backyard without a key to the door).) Related: this one is gonna have an absolute deluge of 5s and 1s. I get it. This (and "Kid A") was my gateway to breaking out and discovering a wider world of electronic rock/pop. The sheer variety of music on this album is just whacked; just thinking of the percussion sounds alone: digital tickety-tack, noise-percussion, then standard acoustic kit (the latter esp. on "Knives Out" which is arguably the most "normal" song on the album but with the standard Radiohead disquieting chord progressions). Electronic washes and digital manipulations ("Pulk/Pull...", "Like Spinning Plates") - utterly bizarre and almost incomprehensible yet it all works. Truthfully, the album falters just a bit in the second half on a song-quality level (n.b. I'm not a big fan of this version of "Morning Bell" - the Kid A version for me is unassailable, this is oddly too straightforward, almost plodding); it was *almost* enough for me to dock it a star, but the impact this album had on my overall music listening is probably something I'd not thought enough about. I wouldn't call this my favourite Radiohead album because ... well oddly partly because of everything above (i.e. difficulty/entry level: HIGH). At the same time it came out at the exact perfect time in history and my life to change everything. Played amidst or just thinking of the backdrop of 2001 is forcing the issue but holyshit was it the right soundtrack for the apocalyptical shit that launched in that year and has never ended since. Amnesiac is more of a "whole is greater than the sum of its parts" vibe and taken as a singular 43 minute unit it's in my pantheon of most-influential (to me) albums. 9/10 5 stars

So hypnotic and on another wavelength that it started over and I didn’t realize it looped until Pyramid Song started again.

Another Radiohead album on the 1001 list. Like my previous reviews I really like Radiohead but I think one would be enough. Amnesiac is more experimental than Kid A but still very accessible. It's not my favorite album from their discography of even in the top 3. I would recommend listening to Kid A or OK computer instead. Even though it's good it doesn't fit the list of must listen albums before you die.

Boring.

No more Radiohead

There is a very fine line for me between Radiohead being good/enjoyable/unique and Radiohead being so far up their own ass that they cannot see the sunshine. This album jussssstt squeaks into the first category for me. I loved it! More this and less OK Computer please

Like it's predecessor, Kid A, an interesting album that has its ups and downs. On this one, I definitely enjoyed the tracks that followed a bit more traditional rock structures more than the more experimentally electronic ones. I can imagine that this one might grow on me and get 5 stars on a subsequent listen. But after a first spin it's a 4 for me. Highlight: Life In A Glasshouse

Was tempted to give this album a 5/5 just because it's Radiohead, but honestly, it's always been one of their weaker albums in my mind. It's still very good, and it's kind of astonishing that (I think) it's mostly just B-sides from the absolute wellspring that was the Kid A sessions, but I don't really revisit it too often, and there's probably a reason for that. Standouts: Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box, Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army? I Might Be Wrong

One of the most amazing things ive ever listend to

Not great. I lost interest after their first couple of albums, never quite worked for me since.

Simply fantastic. Not my favourite Radiohead album but nevertheless it is great.

For whatever reason, I never really got into any Radiohead albums after OK Computer (which I very much like). Amnesiac is fine, just whatever the thing was that "got me" with OK Computer wasn't quite there for me on this album. Maybe it needs several listens to "get it"?

While I do enjoy some songs of theirs, I am generally pretty indifferent to them. This wasn’t a bad album but I feel like it’s more atmospheric than anything, like something you’d have on in the background of a small group gathering where everyone is really high. 2.5/5, rounded up to 3/5.

I've always thought that if Radiohead had released this before Kid A, then everyone would probably be gushing over Amnesiac instead. It's quite obvious that they are two halves to the same thing, and I'd feel a bit disingenuous giving it another rating. It's awesome.

Overall, this was amazing! The first 5 songs were the best in the album and the last 6 is where the album started to get boring for me. But nevertheless I enjoyed it very much!

I love Radiohead but this is probably my least favourite album after their debut. I think a lot of the songs are really abrasive, but Radiohead are still great and “pyramid song” and “I might be wrong” are two of their best songs. So there are some good songs here but I’m not sure both this and Kid A needed to be included.

I've always had an affinity for this album. When it was released, I think Amnesiac was generally regarded as a lesser album than Kid A, but there is a warmness to these songs that I think is missing from Kid A. Maybe its the red album cover. I love Life in a Glass House, but so many of the songs rank in my top Radiohead tracks.

Ya gotta love some Radiohead! First listen through of this album tho! Very good coming right after Kid A I still think this album holds up next to it! Really nice music for this whole album! Did not disappoint!

Give them another 5 already

meh

Love Radiohead. Always playing with the formula and trying new toys.

There are some bands that you have to see live for the hype to make any sense and Radiohead is one of them. But since I am reviewing their album and not their concerts, I have to say this was pretty disappointing. Felt like the same whiny, boring song 11 times in a row.

Probably my favorite radiohead album. Just as experimental as kid a, but it feels less cold and isolated. This one has a bit of the warmer, more organic feeling sounds of later albums while still making you cry.

Pretty solid album with three or so weak tracks. I like the incorporation of various music genres, such as electronica and jazz. The songs fit together and have the ability to transform your brain into another world. Favorite Songs: Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, and I Might Be Wrong.

5th Radiohead album served to me here, none of them my favourite Radiohead album. And here I was, thinking I already got the point. But it's not just Radiohead fatigue: this one feels completely redundant, and not only because of the annoying squeaky vocals.

Didn't hate it. Trippy, relaxing. Vocals are weird.

Thom

3/5 A few good songs, the rest are just hard to get into. I think I've heard this album a dozen times and it still hasn't attached itself to me... I'll keep listening though because they do have other albums that I really like.

Stop with the Radiohead albums. They are not good. I was bored and annoyed the entire time. The songs aren't memorable and are bad. I suffered through it. Radiohead is at least consistent in releasing bad albums. No need to revisit.

Good! Not a fan of some songs though.

Weird and interesting.

I went into this not liking Amnesiac a huge amount. I always saw it as just leftovers from Kid A that weren't as good as Kid A. But on this listen I found a lot more appreciation for it. It felt weirdly hopeful and curious, whereas Kid A was just bleak and stark. The closing track is this multi-layer orchestral piece that feels like the cheerful closing credits to the duo of Kid A/Amnesiac, the band basically saying "thank you for coming on this journey, we hope you enjoyed your stay." So while I still prefer Kid A, I have a newfound admiration for Amnesiac.

Da e nåken gode sanga her, men går bra om eg ikkje har dei på repeat liksom

Great

I Might Be Wrong is just so cool, that funky bass line is a joy. You and Whose Army? Wow! I've been too busy listening to write notes. Dollars and Cents just got completely under my skin. Maybe I want in the mood, but I found Kid A to be disappointing, whereas this weird collection is just magnificent.

jag tyckte tyvärr att det här albumet var ganska dåligt

Not their best album but I love Radiohead

Great album! It was cinematic without being over the top theatrical. I enjoyed all of the strings and horns.

Great album. Good vibe.

Interesting choice in that I think there's better Radiohead out there. Good, but not my favourite.

Jeez. Okay, fine. Radiohead makes atmospheric, experimental, cerebral music. They're somewhat too cool for school and not everyone will get the music their trying to make. If you get it, they're amazing and you, as a listener, are so intelligent - a true audiophile! Because this music is only for REAL music fans. If you don't like it, you're not a REAL music fan.

Depressing

not bad

Pas mon préféré d'eux, je le trouve un peu snooze.

This one took a few listens to grow on me. Overall, the instrumentation is very atmospheric, the vocals go from soothing to grating. I enjoyed the opening track, nice and laid back. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors was haunting, robotic and strange, yet oddly enough may have been my favorite song on the album. I Might Be Wrong was the most cohesive song on the album.

I really, really don't fucking understand what THE DEAL is with Radiohead. Can someone give me a call and explain it? Ny number is +61432976325. I'll go wait next to the phone. In the meantime, 1/5.

Det kræver nok en ekstra gennemlytning, hvis den skulle komme op på fire stjerner.

Great album, great band

juzzyi and depressed mood ... so radiohead jvh'ubfnca`;udbxnaw;i.uf`kbnc'

Really good album. I feel like I missed the boat on this era of Radiohead. Great songs mixed with a few fun experimental ones.

This is a great album. I really enjoy Radiohead and their albums were big for me in high school. This and Kid A together are an amazing set of albums. For whatever reason I felt like people would always make you pick which of the two was your favorite back then and I tended to lean towards Kid A. But now I'm an adult and we don't have to choose. 5/5. Standout Tracks: Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box, Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army?, I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, Morning Bell/Amnesiac, Dollars and Cents, Like Spinning Plates, Life In a Glasshouse

This album feels the most experimental of theirs, with some tracks ("Revolving doors") that are a little hard to digest at times. Yet it also has some of Radiohead's most sublime work. "Pyramid song" might be my favorite across their whole oeuvre. "I might be wrong", "Pakt like sardines..." and "Knives out" are classics. I can't not give it 5.

A mixed bag. They mixed the good stuff in with the warbly stuff. Best track: Pyramid Song

I think Radiohead are at their best when experimenting, and this is an incredibly experimental album at times even by their standards! Took me a while to get on bored, but I think this is a grower. Im a bit of a Radiohead fan, but I’d actually never heard of this one before. Turns out it was originally going to be a double album with Kid A but they decided it would’ve been too dense. Good call. The more this went on; the more I liked it. Not sure I agree with all of the plaudits just yet - it certainly isn’t as good as In Rainbows / OK Computer / Kid A / Hail to the Thief (imo), BUT I think given a few more listens I might redact that statement. The more it goes on the better it sounds. In Rainbows is pinnacle Radiohead for me, and when this started I wasnt sure it was on the same path, but by the end I was sold.

Great, the outtakes album for Kid A, the album that sounds like a bunch of outtakes. There is about half a really good album across both and there were some songs on this I enjoyed (pyramid song is a belter) but haway Radiohead, you can't just pad it into a double album with a bunch of offcuts. I feel like I'm really close to being a big Radiohead fan but this sort of thing puts me off.

Alright

I'm not a big Radiohead fan, I always feel Tom Yorke is wailing more than he's actually singing. Thought this album was just okay but so much of it seems like them fucking about rather than anything cohesive. Highlights: You And Whose Army? I Might Be Wrong

This was quite interesting. Didn't love it but was ok in the background. Prefer other Radiohead albums . Probably didn't give it a proper listen

It feels like this is the late to the party missing link between „OK Computer“ & „Kid A“. Some songs really are remarkable but as an album it doesn’t work for me. Especially since this list lacks so many other incredible masterpieces Radiohead‘s segue‘ish collection makes no sense to be featured here. 2.5

Spectacullar album, but then Radiohead rarely misses, its the kind of experimental music that is enjoyable to listen to

better than the first radio head album i listened to!

Desde a primeira vez que ouvi sobre este álbum, no final de 2001, fiquei tomado pela resistência na época por qualquer menção a experimentalismos com elementos de eletrônica. Agora consigo sentir que, mesmo diante das incertezas e da melancolia, realmente havia uma beleza no universo profundo criado pelas composições que apresentam uma atmosfera intensa justamente pelas texturas eletrônicas.

Idk, it's Radiohead. It's somber and crooning and I'm sure there's a depth there that I just don't really resonate with... but it's fine. 3.5

Wonder how Kurt Cobain say I Hate Myself And I Want To Die, while he didnt even had a chance to hear THIS

I was really thinking when I clicked the button it was gonna be like a Yardbirds album, but nope!! We got Amnesiac instead. This is some of the very best music in the world. The best band of our generation. The paradigm schism. What else can I say. Everything is basically perfect. I kept thinking about all the styles and all the instruments on this one album and how masterfully they are orchestrated. Just tip top.

I'm a reasonable man, but you've gotta admit this isn't as good as their other stuff, either before or after. Still a five, tho.

Even as a follow-up to “OK Computer,” “Kid A” and “Amnesiac” were bold moves by Radiohead. The music is sweeping, challenging, orchestral, haunting, electronic, discordant, pulling the listener into an aural storm. “Kid A” remains on the 1001, while “Amnesiac” has been removed in later editions. I think this is the right call, although I love parts of both albums. But “Kid A” had the biggest impact, as the direct extension of the “OK Computer” evolution. Both albums came out of the same recording sessions, so it's fitting to choose just one as essential Or maybe replace them both with the 2021 double album reissue? Whether you love it or hate it, I think this absolutely fits the bill as music that you’ve gotta listen to at least once in your lifetime.

Very interesting stuff here. I Might Be Wrong is my favorite. A 3.5. It’s a bit too concept-y to round up (Life In A Glass House).

3.5

Utterly forgettable - slow, whiney, and boring

Holy shit this was boring. I wouldn't listen to this album again if I got paid to do so. Amnesiac, Noun 'a person experiencing a partial or total loss of memory' Sign me up for this to remove this album from my memory.

Pull/Pull Revolving Doors is the ugliest song I’ve ever heard. The rest of the album is tied for 2nd worst song.

Nope

Three songs in, this album is WAY ahead of its time. Love the use of electronic elements. So far I can't predict anything. Notable tracks - I Might Be Wrong Knives Out Overall pretty solid and unpredictable. Seems like a good jumping off point for more Radiohead for me... 8/10

An entirely different album when listened to on headphones. I'll return to this. Maybe beginning to get the people who reckon Radiohead better after OK Computer are coming from at least.

The OK stuff is OK. Merely OK. Not great. The terrible stuff is absolutely awful. This is one of those albums that the britpop music ponces cream themselves over. To them, this album is genius. If you don't like the awful, talentless thrashing of the bad stuff it's simply that you're too stupid to appreciate the craftmanship and the beauty of the Emperor's new clothes. I have briefly considered giving this two stars, given that there genuinely are a few listen-toable tracks in here. Unfortunate that the overwhelming wankiness totally obviates that.

Companion piece to Kid A and the resemblence is unmistakeable one can easily see that they are from them same sessions. Not as immediately bracing and engaging as Kid A. Less focused in approach so can't help but seem less groundbreaking and forward looking. It has some stellar moments, however; Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, Knives Out, I Might Be Wrong and Morning Bell which is unexplicably on both Kid A and Amnesiac. But there are also pieces of 100% filler. Can't help but wonder how great an album we would have ended up with they had released just one all killer / no filler album from these sessions. Still a fine album that I was happy to discover 3.5 stars

Bästa låt: Pyramid song och You and whose army? Sämsta låt: -

Too edgy for me, what happened to make it simple? Best song: I might be wrong Worst song: Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

Awesome album. Not the best of Radiohead, but certainly up there with the classics.

Hade nog behövt lyssna en gång till, men det orkar jag inte.

Classic

It stuffers from having followed a masterpiece and therefore is always compared to it, which led to this being referred to as "Kid B" in some corners. In truth, it's something of a letdown coming after both OK Computer and Kid A. Christ, it sounds like I'm underselling this album. It's still great. Being the 3rd best Radiohead album isn't anything to be ashamed of.

Sperriges Werk, aber zu recht in dieser Liste.

Kid A’s twin brother that languished outside the spotlight, but that’s almost fitting given how introspective and isolated this album feels. Yorke and company turn the slightly-off synths and excellent guitar work inward for a darker mirror image of the already heavy Kid A, and the end result is a tight, claustrophobic LP that suggests something dark and formless just beneath the surface. Excellent instrumental work (especially guitar) on this one, creative songwriting in spades, and just some overall great tracks (even if I can’t listen to them when I’m depressed). One wonders if this album was meant to live in the A shadows, as that’s where it finds the most gripping examination of loss and isolation put to wax.

I don't get it. This album thinks that it is hot sh!t in a champagne glass when it's actually a cold turd in a Dixie Cup

We Kid A was intended as a double album. This is effectively Kid B. It is often seen as the runt Dublin but I think it is as good. Some electronic noodling and I know Thoms voice turns some people off. Essential 21st century music.

A dreamy, spacey, and unique iteration on the Radiohead sound; I really appreciated the jazz/brass elements they incorporated into their sound. "You and Whose Army?" and "Morning Bell / Amnesiac" were so good!!

PREFS : Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box, Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army?, I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, Morning Bell/Amnesiac, Dollars and Cents, Life in a Glasshouse MOINS PREF : Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

Actively dislike Radiohead. It’s a no from me.

Who goes to see Radiohead?

I did not know that this was going to be a double album with Kid A and was produced at the same time but then separated because it had too much in it for one double. I absolutely love this, super beautiful and unusual and catchy. Morning Bell/Amnesiac has been in my head for weeks now for some reason so really nice to listen to that. I don't know how he writes these tracks, so mystical.

Well this isn't my favourite Radiohead. I would say the weakest of the albums around that time that I absolutely love. Feel like this one is more reflective of Thom Yorke's solo stuff. I did enjoy most of it but it left me unmoved compared to albums like Pablo Honey

Goooooood weird stuuuuuuuff

Was my least favourite Radiohead album when I was younger and first got in to them, now love it. Like Spinning Plates is a beautiful song (really recommend listening to the live piano version on the I Might Be Wrong EP). Also love the version of Morning Bell on this album compared to the one on Kid A. They were pumping out so much great stuff in those 1999-2000 recording sessions.

That's cool. I mean, this album offers you a broad variety of genres, also incorporating unusual moves.
