Amnesiac

Amnesiac is a Radiohead album so it’s awesome but I probably wouldnt include it in essential listening… it’s Kid A side B. Which is still awesome! But surely Ok Computer, In Rainbows and Kid A are coming…I’ve already had 2 albums and I thought only 4 were on the list….

Nope just nope. Won't be listening to this again.

I like the band, but this album isn't for me. It is well done, but it feels like music searching for a film to accompany.

It’s fine, nothing special and far from Radioheads best.

Great ambient album (even if it's possibly redundant to previous albums that Yorke listened to and that I never will). Plus, Glass Houses is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Knives Out is probably the saving grace of this album. The rest is pretty forgettable and generic Radiohead.

If alien cats would play jazz music by scratching their nails to the walls of their metal spacecrafts, this is probably what it would sound like. I didn't know how to delete this album as fast as possible from my iPod after listening through. It's like one of those negative thoughts that pops up in your head at random during the day and then keep pestering around. 0/5

It's okay. A bit too meandering and empty for me, but nice atmospheres.

Чтобы послушать этот альбом, пришлось прослушать всю дискографию Radiohead до него. Мне кажется это обязательно, без этого непонятно почему он так звучит и как к этому пришли, да и вообще что такое Radiohead. Конкретно этот альбом - дальнейшний уход коллектива в сторону электроники и экспериментов. У него гораздо больше общего с IDM, чем с изначальным для радиоголовы гранжем, и это замечательно. Сложное звучание, которое, тем не менее не звучит как сложность ради сложности, оно создает определенную атмосферу и передает эмоции. Отличный альбом.

my loves

Feel this is maybe an underappreciated Radiohead album? People talked about it like it's just Kid A b-sides. I think it's fricking great. No filler

Pretty drab and forgetful at the start and tbh gets worse. There’s some redeemable stuff but I’d rather just listen to Kid A. 1.0/5.0 Best Song: I Might Be Wrong

How on earth has this made the list, absolute shite

25. septembar 2026. 23.33h loved it, cokov (mozda) omiljeni album radiohead-a, imamo zajednicku best pjesmu best: packt like sardines in a crushd tin box, life in a glasshouse

2,9/5

You can clearly see that this is the second side of Kid A, same weirdness. I found it slightly less approachable, but still enjoyable.

Très bon album pour moi j'adore cette ambiance Kid A, mais on sent que c'est les "restes" de Kid A, le meilleur est déjà passé. Des sons mémorables quand même comme: 1) Pyramid Song 2) You and Whose Army 3) Life in a Glasshouse et un 4) Hunting Bears

Je crois que malheureusement j'ai pas kiffé de ouf

9/10 – Great

Although I enjoyed hearing the influence of Charles Mingus, "Pyramid Song" is a nothing song to me - as are the rest of the songs (with the exceptions of the first track and "Life In a Glasshouse"; Humph on trumpet). I simply do not get the almost mythological status this band holds. I enjoyed OK Computer, I might like Kid A and/or In Rainbows, but I don't see why this album in particular needs to be on this list.

Amazing

ya lo escuché varias veces igual, radiohead es CLAVE (es más un 4 y medio pero no le voy a dar 4 estrellas a esto)

3.5

Classic Radiohead after it went experimental.

This isn't the first time I've listened to this album this week... I gained a huge love of Radiohead during the COVID lockdowns...especially, The Bends. But I like this one for the electronic influence. I feel like this one is where the electronic, the pop, and the rock all come together in a good way. I consider this a top Radiohead album, but I also fall into the category where I think the only one that is questionable is 'Pablo Honey'

Just okay…. Just like the title, I could easily listen to it and forget about it. Not my favorite of theirs.

Kid A's less attractive sibling.

radiohead are just pure ass, bro

Love this album. One of my favourite albums by one of my favourite bands.

Absolutely brilliant. Probably my favorite Radiohead album, though OK Computer is more 'listenable' and has all the bangers.

No bad songs here but nothing transcendent. Packt like Sardines and I might be wrong are both fun listens.

The Radiohead album I play the least. Still absolutely love Knives Out and Pyramid Song.

This album shows Radiohead's range. Good example, but maybe not for everyone.

Суперский альбом!!!

A really nice album, lots of meaningful lyrisc and interesting instrumentals; a solid background music for the day 😇

KID A gets a lot of love and rightfully so but it comes at the expense of this album. I find Amnesiac equally as brilliant. It's a little less perfect but I also think that's what makes it special. It's like KID A but messier. Pact Like Sardines and Pyramid Song is one of the best 1-2 punches of their whole discography. I might Be Wrong, Knives Out, and the haunting You And Whose Army round out this masterful effort. Showcasing band just ascending to new heights. I won't but you could argue the KID AMNESIAC era of Radiohead is their pinnacle.

bas je ludo, ima mnogo specifican vajb i razlikuje se od albuma do sada koje sam slusala sa liste bas. nekako je spoj svega i svacega, ali ne na preteran i neprijatan nacin

Loved Radiohead back in the day but this is the album I stopped listening to them. It was very experimental but there was some tracks with some real substance. Obviously the Pyramid Song is so unique and beautiful. Other faves were: Knives Out, Dollars and Cents and Life in a Glasshouse.

nao curti

Really don’t care for this

It's an okay lo-fi album. Nothing that really stands out and sounds very experimental.

Man, what can be said about Radiohead that hasn’t been said before? I’ve always liked them, but Amnesiac is probably the album I’ve listened to least for whatever reason. The first half is so strong, and Pyramid Song alone is worth 5 stars, but there’s too much filler/drag in the second half to justify the full 5. Still, though, Pyramid Song might be among the best tracks Radiohead ever recorded.

This album landed pretty much in the middle for me. The first couple of songs were fine, including the familiar “Pyramid Song,” but nothing really grabbed me. Early on, I thought this would make good background music in a coffee house, and that feeling stuck with me through most of the album. When Radiohead got more experimental, I could appreciate what they were trying to do without necessarily enjoying it. “Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors” was interesting but definitely not my thing, and “Like Spinning Plates” sounded like somebody was playing the record backwards. I get the creativity behind it. I just don't need to listen to it again. “I Might Be Wrong” was my favorite discovery, especially because of the guitar, and I didn't mind “Knives Out.” The vocals on “Morning Bell/Amnesiac,” on the other hand, annoyed me for some reason. The biggest surprise came at the very end with “Life in a Glasshouse.” I loved the New Orleans feel of the horns and thought it was a cool way to finish the album. Overall, I appreciate the experimentation and musicianship more than I actually enjoyed the album. Nothing here was terrible, but there also wasn't enough that made me want to come back for another listen. Good coffee-house background music, but not something I need in my collection.

Awful

I was listening to fun, energetic and innovative pop all morning and then I remembered I had to catch up on my albums. Probably not the best headspace to be in when reviewing this album. Didn't want to do it, didn't really enjoy it, but didn't really hate it either. 5/10.

Ei sitä ihan parasta Radioheadia. Amnesiac edustaa elektronista ja taiteellisempaa puolta bändin uralla. Ehkä useammalla kuuntelukerralla tästä saisi vielä enemmän irti.

I don't get the appeal. THis is just fine and rather boring

Plodding and dire. The last track was particularly awful. Rating: 1.5

Maybe my least favourite Radiohead album - not to say there aren’t brilliant moments on here (the first side of this album is really good overall and Pyramid Song is incredible), but I’ve never shaken the feeling that half the songs on this album are Kid A leftovers. Morning Bell/Amnesiac is literally a reprise of the given song from Kid A that sounds like it starts halfway through the song. Can appreciate the experimentation that carries on from Kid A but it simply isn’t as cohesive or interesting as its sister album. In between 3 and 4 stars but I’ll edge it towards 4. Not on the same level of the several Radiohead albums that will get 5* though

Not my favorite Radiohead album, but... still a Radiohead album, so what am I gonna do? Obviously it's a 4.

This album was everything I think of when I think of a Radiohead album. I can’t actively listen to Radiohead it just needs to be on in the background until I learn the songs. This was pretty good and I know I would like it a lot more with multiple listens but I just don’t want to choose to put it in on, I just want it to play.

Bland and whining

They really put Kid B on here 😭😭😭 (it’s actually pretty good I just wanted to get that joke off).

Bäk in bisnes

ei oikee lähe tällane ihme musiikki en oikee ees tiiä mitä tää on. Niinku puhuttii radioheadil oma sound jota en kyl ymmärrä. En myöskään ymmärrä sitä hypeä koko bändin ympärillä. Joo hyvää musiikkia ovat tehneet mutta en milloinkaan vertaisi muihin brittijätteihin. 3/5

There's good songs on this record, though at some point, it begins to feel like left-overs from the Kid A sessions rather than a separate entity. I guess that just speaks to how good Kid A is. They put all their most groundbreaking material there and then put all the other moderately good stuff on Amnesiac. The exceptions are Pyramid Song and Knives Out which are both phenomenal - but that's really about it. They do these songs best live, just check out the I Might Be Wrong live release with the title track, Like Spinning Plates and Dollars And Cents. Way more energetic and developed than their studio counterparts (7/10, 3/5 on this scale)

Showing my Radiohead bias maybe. Not their best but still some great tracks. Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army, Knives Out, and a new respect for I Might Be Wrong. Best track is Life In a Glasshouse though. Makes you feel like you’re a detective in a noir film, sat in a bar, whiskey and cig in hand as you go over your findings.

I love Radiohead but this may be a for fans only album. Kid-A B-side album primarily. Certainly aint on the 1001 albums you must hear. It has got some of their best ever songs on - "you and whose army", "pyramid song", "knives out". I'd only bang "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" on if I wanted to upset my child

Think Amnesiac is an underrated gem tbh. Can do without Pull Revolving Doors, but rest of album is really good Think 'I Might Be Wrong' was the first Radiohead song I remember liking. I remember the video. And Knives Out is one of my fave Radiohead songs 4.5

It's probably the Radiohead album I've listened to the least and although Pyramid Song is amazing the rest of the album just doesn't hold up the same way. They are interesting songs but they don't move me.

Seemed like a transitional album between their earlier sound and the later dark moody sound

Otro álbum complicado de calificar, es un sonido elevado, tiene delicadeza y tiene potencia, tiene muchos elementos ocurriendo de manera simultánea Se siente como un álbum reflexivo y de mucha madurez en cuanto su producción Es un infravalorado dentro del catálogo de Radiohead sin embargo tiene canciones de mucha presencia, y no creo que en este caso les haga falta algo que algún álbum interior aportara, es decir, contiene su esencia pero a la vez incursionan en un ámbito nuevo y eso está bien le da mucho más valor a la propuesta del grupo en si Es un buen viaje, recomendado para sesiones de concentración

It's a good album, just not my favorite Radiohead album. Probably not even top 5 for me. Album seems more electronic to me then some of their earlier stuff that I like more.

Is this the best Radiohead album? Probably not Is it still absolutely fantastic and deserving of five stars? Yes

I like the older Radiohead songs better. To me this is not their best representation for this project.

Not usually the first Radiohead album I pick but so many good songs

Ugh, I tried to listen but I get it after one song—weird electronica drone stuff. Downhill since OK Computer.

Wow! So this album is so weird! But I'm also weird and this is the type of music that I like in the right context to stretch my brain. I'm so impressed by radiohead's use of sounds that I've never heard in other albums. They're a mix of time signatures just makes it to where. If you appreciate music you can appreciate this. I don't know if this is going to be on my playlist when I'm just driving around or with friends, but I do know when I want a active music listening session. This will be on my playlist four out of 5:00

Have listened to before, I mean who hasn't???

Oh, right. The droning pretentious version of Radiohead that I really don't like. It's not completely without merit, but my overwhelming reaction to this record is irritation.

This one just passed me by a bit. Interesting for sure, but not something I'll be returning to I expect

Radiohead really stresses me out with some of their music. I know that's probably their intent but it really puts me on edge and I do not like that.

Amnesiac rules. The companion piece to Kid A brings in guitars again, but continues their experimental streak, and it's just as moody as its sibling. Amnesiac, feels to me, in a similar category as Hail to the Thief, in that they are fantastic, yet under-appreciated Radiohead releases.

2.5-/5

Yikes. Didn't like this even a little bit. Which is crazy, because I gave the Bend's 5 stars. This was whiny and annoying. 1.5.

Felt like listening to a soundtrack to a psychological thriller. This is one of the rare times we should’ve stopped a group of privately educated white men from “experimenting” musically.

Maybe I would like it sometimes Will I listen to again: 35%

Amazing all the way through.

This was one of the few albums I skipped of theirs, I found them pretentious. However listening this time I found it much better, very ethereal for a want of a better word. Yeah, good one

Meh. I know Radiohead is a good band. I just find them kind of whiny.

La primera mitad del disco me enganchó porque era electrónica, sin embargo me mantuvo con un "Bueno, tendré que leer las letras después para conectar más" pero a partir de "You And Who's Army" el disco se volvió MUY sólido, me queda esa espinita de querer escuchar más de los vientos que suenan en el último tema... hubieran quedado hermosos en todo el disco

i heard the first song and it was cool im definitely intrigued enough to keep listening

Brilliantly mismatched songs and a few of the greatest hits from their entire catalogue.

It's good, but it's not their most game changed album. Very listenable, but there are others I would prefer.

Good, but speak in comparison to several of their other albums. OK Computer, Kid A and In Rainbows especially.

7/10

Definitely not as good as earlier radiohead stuff, not my style at all but I guess its alright.

i know why this radiohead album is forgotten

As a follow on to Kid A, this is a masterpiece. Solid all throughout. It really shows their willingness to experiment while retaining what makes them Radiohead. Always will be a 5 star album for me.

too experimental for me

Not a fan.

I'm getting Radiohead fatigue. Someone needs to cheer these guys up a little bit.

Enough with the Radiohead already

Kind of a high three. Like this one but is mostly just Kid A turned up or down...better than everything they did until Moon Shaped Pool probably

Day 11 To my Kid A fans, Morning Bell/Amnesiac haters are invited to the club. Fav track: Life in a Glasshouse

1 star, I'm unsure as why this is a must listen album?

IT WAS RADIOHEAD OFC!

3.5/5

Hooray, more Kid A! And just as good as it, too!

Radiohead... I’ve never really listened to them properly. This album does have a few decent tracks, but that’s about it. Two stars...

Haunting album. I think I just sorta always assumed this was overhyped but I honestly can't say that anymore. This is just good. Straight up. All the tracks feel the same in a good way.

I'm just not a Radiohead fan

Great

Nah

The more times I listen to Amnesiac, the better it gets. Radiohead never misses.

꩜ This is not a Radiohead album that I remember listening to.

7/10

Not in the mood today thom

Need more Radiohead

not my favorite of theirs. Too electronic and not enough Jonny on the guitar

No

I had totally forgotten this album! But each song was super familiar. I think I must have listened to it dozens of times when it came out.

Catch the mouse, Squash his head, Put him in thee pot

Not my favorite Radiohead album

Cover to cover garbage. Cant believe the shit that made its way onto the list

I judge anyone who likes this nonsense just a little bit.

pretty boring overall, nothing really stood out

Finally free of Radiohead after today! I'm up-and-down on their discography and you definitely have to learn to tolerate them through this list. But sometimes, you get surprised. Radiohead were well into their experimental phase by 2001, barely a year after the release of the now-acclaimed "Kid A". "Where do you even go from there?" some might ask. The close release window to "Kid A" suggests that some of the content here may have been cut from that album, which actually seemed to be partially true from what I read. You hear that early on, with all sorts of electronic elements being used. Overall, with the exception of a select few tracks, this simply wasn't as interesting or novel as "Kid A", though. Just felt that the "meat" here wasn't as tasty, with the exception of the abruptly jazzy closer "Life in a Glasshouse".

Una canción seguida que intenta ser interesante pero no lo logra

Cada vez me hacen pensar más que son una banda conocida por los hits

Packt like sardines- 8.5/10 Pyramid song- 8/10 Pulk- 8.5/10 You and whose army?- 8.5/10 Might be wrong- 9/10 Knives out- 9/10 Amniesac- 8.5/10 Dollars- 8/10 Hunting bears- 7/10 Spinning plates- 8.5/10 Life in a glasshouse- 8.5/10 BONUS CREDIT- 1.55 FINAL RATING- 5/5

Typical Radiohead album, not a bad album if you are into it.

I like Radiohead a lot I really really really do not understand why there are 3 albums on this list that are essentially the same sort of Radiohead.

Very atmospheric and melodic album. Thom Yorke's singing is something magical and mesmerizing. However, musically, it isn't the most versatile album and is a bit dull. I'd rather listen to it for a particular vibe.

#216/1001 🇬🇧 I can't actually remember (no pun) when or why i drifted away from Radiohead. This was probably the last album i bought of theirs. Some of it is familiar whilst some seems completely new to, like for example the very last track which is stunning. Best Tracks: Life in a Glass House, Morning Bell / Amnesiac, Pyramid Song.

Haunting and so underrated!

Maybe my least favourite Radiohead album - not to say there aren’t brilliant moments on here (the first side of this album is really good overall and Pyramid Song is incredible), but I’ve never shaken the feeling that half the songs on this album are Kid A leftovers. Morning Bell/Amnesiac is literally a reprise of the given song from Kid A that sounds like it starts halfway through the song. Can appreciate the experimentation that carries on from Kid A but it simply isn’t as cohesive or interesting as its sister album. In between 3 and 4 stars but I’ll edge it towards 4. Not on the same level of the several Radiohead albums that will get 5* though

3.5

Kid A's oddball, jazzy cousin. Love it.

4.5

Oh goodness, I listened to this album while biking home sick from work and it transported me into a different dimension. Wasn't my favorite based on the vocals.

RAD IOH EAD

I HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO THIS RADIOHEAD ALBUM. Which is very odd, as I rate all their albums. This is no exception, lovely, flowing considered music. I'll never get the luddites that get their pants in a knot about the more creative latter albums by Radiohead. It's also clearly not the Kid A offcuts, which is equally lazy as a critique. This sounds like silk flowing through my ears.

Radiohead sits in a realm of experimentation and innovation. It begs to be interpreted and analyzed. Is this the greatest album? The soundtrack heard overheard at an alien DMV? You decide and make peace with your choice.

Should've stayed in the drafts

Heard Before? Of course. Notes: - last i checked, Radiohead is STILL trying to avoid the obvious - this is an entire album of odds n sods. - that said, there are some fascinating textures in these half-written songs, glimmers of interesting production choices. - but on the whole it suffers from the same problem as Kid A but much worse: musical innovations pilfered from exciting contemporary electronic musicians, watered down and doused with sad-sack yowling. - i would probably be more inclined to like this (many of my favorite sounds and production ideas are present) if it weren't accompanied by a tsunami of hype and adulation. context kills. Verdict: Today this is just a boring album of tossed off sketches. But back in 2001, when you had to wait three hours to pirate one song with dial-up internet and all you got was "Hunting Bears"? Rage-making. Listen Again? I was actually pleased to hear "Life in a Glasshouse" again. But no, I don't need or want this album in my life.

El disco que menos me gustó de Radiohead hasta ahora.

Heard before?:❌️ Will listen again?:❌️ Weakest radiohead I've heard. Some songs are good and some are just pretentious fucking about. Overall a bit forgettable. Fav: You And Whose Army?

It’s aptly called amnesiac bc I always forget it’s as good as it is.

It's 5 stars. I'm not even sorry. I cannot rank Radiohead anything lower than that. Yes, nostalgia definitely factors into it too as I loved Radiohead as a teenager but obviously I wouldn't have listened to the band as much as I did back in high school if I didn't vibe with it. For an actual review, though: I just really enjoy listening to it. There's so much going on sonically to keep me engaged. Hail to the Thief and In Rainbow are tied for my favourite album but there aren't any bad albums on this list.

Terribile accozzaglia di suoni

Even when it's a bunch of B-sides and cast offs that didn't quite fit it's still ace.

A few outstanding songs like Pyramid Song, but also some shite songs that I skipped. OK album

kid b. There is a reason this album is often paired with Kid A. It just feels like a compilation of unfinished songs save a few absolute bangers like Pyramid Song. That being said it is still good. Just not fleshed out. A 3 for me personally but I can see a 4

Nicht gut

Really don’t like this band. Didn’t like album either

Terrible waste of talent

One of my favorite albums of all time. Very jazzy. Vocals are perfect. Fascinating, strange, beautiful songs.

Other reviewers mentioned that Radiohead albums tend to be ephemeral. You forget about it after a few months, and certainly after the next cycle, an album would come out. I think that's true. I haven't heard this album in a long time, probably since it was released, but damn if it isn't good.

Two songs stood out to me but mostly it sounded like a parody of Radiohead.

Very hard work and honestly the worst cliché of hard to get Radiohead.

já tinha escutado, é um dos meus álbuns favoritos da vida.

Got deep into the radiohead phase at the start of last year, so it's pretty likely I would've gotten around to listening to this album too eventually. I've heard a couple songs from it too before that I really like. Overall a good listen, but not my favouriteee Radiohead album.

It oscillator between intriguing and annoying. I don't think I cared for it.

LOVEEEEEE. you and whose army is one of my favorite songs forever

Some good instrument sounds but can’t get over the vocals.

5/10

Not my cup of tea. Strange. Too progressive.

Besties, you might be able to say that this sounds interesting, but you can't say it sounds good, can you? Just a lot of "instrumental" that I don't like the sound of.

Classic

3.3/5 - Was OK at best, may not have been the day for it. Might come back another time to give it another go.

oh my lord.... its so peak..... 10/10. Vocals are so majestic.....

I love Kid B. The thing is, this album really does stand alone. Packt Like Sardines is a great opener. It’s darker than Everything in its Right Place. Actually, I’d argue, the WHOLE album is darker. Pyramid Song is about traveling to the afterlife. In fact, just like the title suggests, there is a sense of eerie confusion and displacement to the entirety of the album’s arc, laid bare in Morning Bells/Amnesiac with its plaintive query: Where'd you park the car? Where'd you park the car? And it’s call to: Cut the Kids in Half - a very “Solomonic” response to a broken relationship, where furniture and clothes are now found on the lawn, instead of where they ought to be. And then it closes with Like Spinning Plates, a song literally constructed forwards and backwards and forwards and backwards, and capped with … life in a Glasshouse. That finale is such a strange, alternate universe NOLA funerary march. Humphrey Lyttelton Nails the feeling of a New Orleans funeral dirge with his trumpet, managing to sound both mournful and slightly drunk. Like we’re all stumbling down the street. And then I look at the cover art again, and I think: “yes! You guys are so, SO amazing. You took songs you REJECTED for your main album and you crafted THIS MASTERPIECE.” 5 - 50 - 500 - Boolean:TRUE

25 v ilmestymisensä jälkeen oivallinen soundtrack tälle masentavalle maailman aikakaudelle. 4/5

It’s an interesting listen in places but is there a chorus on the record. Radiohead used to have choruses

My fourth Radiohead album! While I cant say I loved it, I can say that I think I'm starting to understand Radiohead more. Their music is much more focused on vibes and progression than on set structure and "listenability". As with most of my Radiohead experience thus far, there were parts I enjoyed and parts I really didn't care for. Still- you can't deny their artistry and talent.

Some very good songs on this one. "Pyramid" is a classic. "You and who's army" and "Life in a glasshouse" are solid as well. Definitely an album that gets betger the more you listen and thr songs are stronger when listened as an album.

Whoever said that Radiohead are the musical successors of the Beatles was way wrong. Just plain boring and overrated.

Pre Listen: Fuck me...it's the first of SIX Radiohead albums on here. I've never enjoyed a Radiohead song before genuinely, with "Creep" being the closest exception, of which I only enjoy in an ironic 'This song fucking sucks' sort of way. I've been dreading this day for some time, I knew it was coming eventually. Expectations are in the gutter. Notable Tracks: Pyramid Song - It...isn't what I expected. I didn't enjoy the previous song, but this one isn't even close to as dogshit as I anticipated. Perhaps my expectations were too low, so now this sounds alright..? Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors - Ah here we are, the complete and utter shit I was expecting. I was worried for a second that I might not hate this album as much as I anticipated! Life in a Glasshouse - My favorite track on here, if the vocals were removed it may even be playlist worthy. I was absolutely not expecting a jazzy song on here. I nearly sat up straight when I heard the brass and clarinet. Post Listen: That was....better than expected? I mean, I expected absolute rat-infested trash, so I guess the bar was very low. I don't even know how to explain why I dislike Radiohead so much. Maybe it's the depressed, self-hating, "Just how I'm wired" vibe they carry in most of their songs? Maybe it's the random experimental techniques they employ which never really work for me. Maybe it's from the type of people who really like Radiohead from my experience, who are ***generally*** disagreeable and annoying to be around. Maybe they're just fucking pretentious to me. Maybe it's even the band's weird hypocritical relationship to politics, not really practicing what they've preached. Hey, on the bright side, this wasn't a 1/5 like I expected it to be! It had more variety than I expected, good moments, and one or two good songs. I will approach future Radiohead albums with a bit more grace, I guess. 3/5

I like Radiohead. I’ve enjoyed other albums. This one didn’t do it for me. I don’t know if it was too somber or experimental but this one was a bit of a slog. Glad I listened to it but I kept waiting for one great song to excite me and it just didn’t happen. Life in a Glasshouse was a highlight I guess?

Ho un rapporto strano con i Radiohead. Quest'album spezza in maniera molto equilibrata fra musica elettronica, Radiohead rock e Radiohead sognanti.

me gustan Radiohead, no es su mejor disco, pero tiene un nivel alto.

Amnesiac is perhaps Radiohead’s most literary album. It doesn’t unfold like a novel with a clear arc; it reads like a box of recovered memories—some complete, some damaged, some impossible to place. That makes it less immediately satisfying than their masterpieces, but endlessly fascinating.

Pakt like sardines, I might be wrong, Dollars and cents, life in a glasshouse

A darker/moodier Kid A. Leaves a bit to be desired when compared to the rest of their discography (at least the albums I've listened to so far)

Sounds good but somehow unremarkeable.

As with all of the Radiohead albums they are produced in an amazing way. Musically they are always a piece of art. For my personal taste it’s just too melancholic and dark for a whole album.

Some tracks were a little too experimental for me, but overall the album is very unique and interesting. The music style across the album is incredibly varied, which I enjoyed. Appreciate it as a creative musical exploration but not an album I would play on repeate.

There's somme jazz bit in there!

Sounded very evil. I do like some radiohead but I wasn't a fan of this one.

Faves: Sardine song Knives Out

They’re all on here aren’t they? 😔

Pyramid Song is one of the best songs ever, but the rest is pretty bad. A little bit too experiment, too up its own asshole - and this is coming from a Radiohead fan. The meme where Radiohead spend 40 minutes tuning their guitars on-stage and the fans go wild is real. Play the Kid Amnesiac game on Epic though, its the ideal way to experience this music.

Anxious music like an extension of Kid A but at the end of semblance of control.

Maybe if I heard this before Ok Computer is love it. But with that context it's just... Ok. Life in a Glass House saves the album. But it's still not great.

Didn't expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. Really good, eclectic mix of stuff on this. Some absolute belters as well. Overall, definitely a must listen to, I think.

Cool

Not my favorite from them but still pretty good.

Loved Ok Computer when it came out. Was impressed that Kid A was using inspiration from Warp Records artists. Then this album came out and it was just more of the same. It's good but doesn't need to be on this list if Kid A is already here.

Very interesting album in their canon, but still an absolute masterpiece.

I feel like these guys are really overrated.

I was not particularly moved by this album and found that Ok Computer was more lively and engaging.

Amnesiac is difficult one to rate because, like with all Radiohead albums, it’s got some absolute gold on it, but I still don’t really know how I feel about it as a whole. I know a lot of these songs were recorded in the same sessions as Kid A, but for me, it’s just not as good. When you look at their wider discography, Amnesiac just doesn't feel like a major, career-defining record compared to the other legendary stuff they’ve put out over the years. To be honest, it feels more like a collection of different ideas thrown together rather than a fully realised, cohesive album. That said, it definitely has its moments; "Pyramid Song" is great track I often go back to and "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box" is really good opener. I also love "Morning Bell", even though it’s a totally different vibe from the Kid A version. Life in a Glasshouse" and that whole jazzy finish—honestly, I still don't know if I actually like it or dislike it, but it’s an interesting track to close on. They’re parts of this album I love, but as a full project, it just doesn’t stack up when you compare it to their top-tier albums. “I’m a reasonable man, get off my case"

Released in June 2001, Radiohead’s Amnesiac sits in one of the most fascinating spots in their discography. Recorded during the same infamously intense 1999–2000 sessions as Kid A, Amnesiac was initially pegged by critics and fans as "Kid B" or a collection of leftover B-sides. ​Look past that history, and Amnesiac reveals itself as a dark, claustrophobic, and deeply rewarding album. If Kid A felt like looking at a distant, icy apocalyptic landscape from a satellite, Amnesiac is the sound of being stuck down in the mud, fire, and rubble of it.

Experimental Very instrumental Very Radiohead

This not boat music

Um disco inconsistente. Ótimos momentos de guitarras e cordas e momentos nem tão inspirados nas percussões eletrônicas e faixas um tanto "arrastadas".

I know this is a good album. But if i am reviewing based on subjective feelings it was an ok listen. I don´t know.. it feels like i should really like radiohead, it is experimental, emotive music.. but for some reason i´ve always had this feeling that there is something lacking.

beautiful. nothing else to say other than purely beautiful.

Electronic Dread Amnesiac is a weird one. Dark, kind of jazzy... fragmented? Like you're wandering through the backrooms... sometimes you find something beautiful, sometimes you just want to get out. It's nostalgic in a way I can't quite explain, after all I've never heard these songs before, but they feel familiar. Like a half-remembered dream. For me it's the electronic textures that really do it. "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box" is a funky little opener. I love the untraditional percussion, really industrial sound. The rhythm isn't quite the usual. Yorke's distorted voice fits perfectly. The synths are interesting, the bassline is cool. I love the electronic aspects. Very nostalgic. 5-6/10. "Pyramid Song" is sprawling and pretty. The piano beginning reminds me of Kendrick's MMatBS. It meanders without a specific rhythm... hypnotic. Sounds very sad. The strings in the back are like birds flying by. But the sadness was all-encompassing without much payoff. 4-6/10. "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" was an incredible experience. Musically not a fan, but the experience was something else. Lots of nostalgia. Feels like I'm in the Backrooms here for sure. The wind chimey sounds gave me chills. One of the coolest songs I've heard. Very eerie, like a broken machine. Vocoder voice is always cool. 7-8/10. Not a playlist add despite the high rating, but so cool. "You and Whose Army?" is a quiet fighting back that somehow works really well. I'm more attuned to this than something like "We Will Rock You." I love the piano and then the guitar slow strumming. Beautiful build. 7-8/10. Playlist add. "I Might Be Wrong" has a cool guitar riff. Hypnotic loop. Super rhythmic, gritty guitar and beats. Sounds intimate, sensual. The second guitar riff is so cool, and that synth is nasty. This shit is cooking with fiyah. 8/10. Love the electronic textures. Playlist add. "Knives Out" is a cool melancholy one. Why does this album make me feel so nostalgic? I guess they're that influential. I love the edge of Radiohead. I can feel the emotions with which this song was written. It's great. Had it on loop for a while because I was in a sad mood. 8-9/10. Playlist add. "Morning Bell/Amnesiac" is very eerie and ghostly. Like a Pokémon ghost town. Dreary. The backing vocals are haunting. It's creepy in a good way, slow, takes its time. Berserk ost. Kinda chill. Lyrics are painful. It sounds like he's dreading waking up. The only time the song seems positive is when he's asking to be released. I don't like it. It makes me uncomfortable the longer I listen. To be fair, that's the point. Still not a playlist consideration. 4-5/10. "Dollars and Cents" has a cool vibe with a repeating bassline and strings. Nice moments when Thom's singing becomes more intense, the drums build, and then you're left with the bassline. But the lyrics are ironic. Thom Yorke with the most whiny voice singing for people to be constructive about their blues, brother, how about you be constructive? It's goofy. Name capitalism or bosses, not just "money." Catharsis slop. Thom don't pretend you're punk, once you're big, you should be buying elections or starting a vanguard party, otherwise you're a fraud. Musically cool how it builds. 4-5/10. "Hunting Bears" is an alright instrumental. Cool dialtone-like synth in the back. 3/10. "Like Spinning Plates" sounds like being beamed into a UFO. Otherworldly. The unsettling-ness is fantastic. Anxiety-inducing track and one of my favorites. Cyberpunk, Blade Runner-like moodpiece. The reversing effect is really cool, and knowing Thom learned to sing backwards for this song is incredible. Technically a feat. Completely electronic. Love the layering. 6/10. "Life in a Glasshouse" was a shock... I wasn't expecting a jazz piece. Pretty cool, but I like Radiohead for their electronic sound, not exactly this. The trumpet adds so much, adds to the spiraling paranoia. Good lyrics. Emotional. 7-8/10. Playlist add. Final Verdict: Amnesiac is a polarizing album. When it works, it's incredible—the electronic textures, the experimental production, the haunting atmospheres. But when it doesn't, it's either boring or annoying. The lyrics are sometimes powerful and sometimes goofy. It's an album of highs and lows, a journey through a dark, fragmented mind. Rating: 7/10

Meh this album is overrated and a whole lot of incoherent nonsense. Still has some good standalone songs. 4.5/10

Not a great radiohead album

Quite nice

3.5 Kid A has never been my favorite Radiohead album, so not really surprised that this one didn't fully do it for me either. Still, a band at their 'worst' (in terms of my enjoyment) still being a 7/10 is pretty good really

Honestly, most of it was kinda borning ngl. Knives Out and I Might be Wrong were great, and Pyramid Song too ig. Otherwise I wasn't too impressed

To be honest I never really sat down and listened to Radiohead. I've only ever heard people speaking about it. I really liked majority of this albums songs. Would definitely listen to this album again.

Good music, great sounds and great moments. Sardines and pulk drag it down. Not my favorite Radiohead either but I can always listen through it. 3.5 but rounded down.

Brilliant, although I often get it mixed up with its brother Kid A. 5 stars 🌟

*2001. *Man, I keep trying to like Radiohead, and they just make it so difficult. *This might be the worst of the Radiohead albums so far - boring, tedious, electronic, whiney. *I have to imagine Radiohead got traction only because angsty British teens in the 90s/00s weren't getting enough sunshine and Vitamin D, so this spoke to them. As an almost 40-year-old woman in Florida, this just isn't it for me. RATING - 5/10

Es jodido sacar este disco cuando los anteriores 4 son la hostia. Aún así muy guay, me lo he escuchado dos veces, y a la segunda escucha ha mejorado bastante. Si no prestas atención creo que podría sonar todo igual pero si no tiene temones como You And Whose Army? y I Might Be Wrong. Le pondría mas puntuación si no fuera porque venimos de los anteriores 4 discos.

Lo escuché sin prestar mucha atención y no me gustó demasiado, pero me puse a escucharlo con más calma y la verdad que hay canciones que pasaron desapercibidas la primera vez que me han gustado mucho. You and whose army? mi favorita, pero me guardo además Knives out, Life in a gasshouse (la segunda mitad de esta canción: wow), Packt like sardines (un arranque de disco muy guay) o Pyramid song. Hay un par por ahí que no me han gustado nada, tbh, pero en general me ha parecido un descubrimiento muy bueno.

Tremendo album. Me ha gustado practicamente todo. Todo sonaba de locos. Quizas alguna cancion un poquillo mas experimental de lo que me gustaria pero sonando bien igualmente.

Honestly, liked this more than I thought. Never listened to it back to front like this, actually liked it heaps more than I’d thought. Far more justified to buy it on vinyl now!

Here we (mostly) have dreamy background noise paired with a thin, slightly whiney drone of a voice. As has been heard before. And before. And before besides that one of theirs I liked. I just don’t get it. can someone explain to me what’s so good about this? Anyone?

More of the same overly moody ambience but for some reason this is the one that kind of connected

There's a hint that this album is a compilation of Kid A cast-offs, but it stands up well enough on its own. A lot of songs are post-rock Radiohead interpretations of old styles, and while it can get a little up-its-own-ass snobby, it still is a good listen

Monotonic, repetitive melodies; repetitive lyrics, I get the feeling the singer is falling asleep or stoned at the microphone. The percussion is the most engaging aspect of this and for that it gets a two. I Might Be Wrong, Dollars and Cents has some redeeming qualities. The others not so much

Love it. Love love love it. Thank you Thom and Johnny

Great album. great band. This is certainly not for everyone as it is quite ambient and quite and weird somehow too but full of beautiful melodies and sounds.

This thing fuckin slapped. In Rainbows was a bit of a letdown but this album got me back on the Radiohead train. Pulk/Pull is like a dip into Trip Hop and the album just takes off from there. Wonderful surprise.

7/10 It's cold and hard, like granite. And it also has weight and feels significant. But it is hard to love.

Only 9 months after Kid A, Radiohead's next album came along. Unlike Kid A, which is a beautiful atmospheric album, this one is pretty damn rough around the edges. It's a tougher listen than Kid A for sure but the album is pretty good overall. There's also more influence from Radiohead's previous albums - Knives Out sounds like a chopped up version of Paranoid Android - than Kid A had so it's not quite "B-side collection" either despite the worse Morning Bell version on here. Like Spinning Plates is by far the album's best track though, that's a masterpiece.

I understand why people don’t like the whiney singing but I love it. Some tracks are a bit too electronicy for me but I really love the atmosphere created on the album. I love sad music. I love music that just lets you sit with a feeling. I like that there’s a variation of styles across the album even while it largely sits in that melancholy space. I especially like the jazz influences. Fav song: Life in a Glasshouse Least fav: Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

Not huge on this. Realised that Geese sounds exactly like this. How have they got away with ripping this off. Specific rating - 3.7 Fav song - pyramid song Least fav- like spinning plates

Something about this album just makes me feel incredibly anxious the whole time it's playing. He just whines at exactly the right frequency to make me feel like something awful might happen. Favourite song: Knives Out Least: Pulk/Pull Revolving Door

Jamais écouté avant. Il y a quelque chose d'une quête esthétique permanente chez Radiohead, d'une recherche infinie d'une issue, par le haut, hors d'une prison sonore dont les murs semblent sans cesse s'éloigner. Sur Amnesiac, c'est par la continuation des explorations électroniques de Kid A et l'hybridation de leurs racines alternatives avec des motifs tirés du jazz, voire de la musique savante d'avant-garde, qu'ils espèrent trouver leur salut. Et le fait est que, quand ils trouvent la clé, notamment au cœur de l'album, le résultat confine au sublime, tout en langueur mélancolique et en désespoir difficilement contenu. Sur d'autres morceaux de l'album, en revanche, les expérimentations vont trop loin ou passent carrément à côté. L'ensemble est donc inégal, et pâtit d'un esprit de sérieux sans doute trop prégnant. Reste que Thom Yorke et les siens ont au moins le mérite de prendre des risques, de ne jamais se contenter de ce qu'ils sont et de ce qu'on attend d'eux. C'est admirable, surtout pour un groupe qui a rencontré un tel succès et qui aurait eu beau jeu de réchauffer sans cesse les recettes qu'ils connaissent par cœur. Top : I Might Be Wrong Flop : Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

Tough to rate (as all the other Radiohead albums have been) as I should enjoy this more than I seemed to during my listening. These tracks seemed to blend together on me a bit more than desired, and I think I enjoy its sister album a little more. I will need to revisit this but going 3.25/5 for now

seit dem letzten album ist mir radiohead sehr ans herz gewachsen. sehr schönes album wieder, You And Whose Army absoluter banger, Life In a Glasshouse sehr interessante komposition

Incredible music. Beautiful, haunting, mesmerizing, intricate, moving. I could go on. I just love this record. All the elements that make Radiohead such a unique and special band are on full display.

Some really good songs, but some songs feel a little out of left field in a weird way. 4/5 for me

Class

One point off for the Zionism

Aye, good gear

All Radiohead gets 5

Worst torture

2.0 Almost good, or at least okay. Not a fan of the singer' voice, if it was better I might like Radiohead. Oh well.

Not my type though

Not my favourite Radiohead album but I think it bumps to a 4 star album simply for Knives Out.

Jag gillar verkligen Radiohead men hur jag gärna än vill älska detta så jag gör inte det. Absolut inte dåligt men inte heller det bästa... Jag gillar Pyramid Song och You and whose Army? Radiohead är alltid Radiohead men älskar ej detta.

Meh?

The album is called Amnesiac because I forgot half the songs on it(the rest were pretty good though)

I have a lot of feelings about this album. I came in sure that out of all the Rafiohead albums, this one was a four. The Amnesiac version of Morning Bell feels unnecessary especially considering how good the Kid A version is. Like Spinning Plates is not essential at all. BUT, registering to this album after all this time, this isn't just Kid B. It stands on its own and contains some essential Radiohead songs ( Pyramid Song, Knives Out, I might Be Wrong, Life in a Glass House, etc). It's excellent, and is closer to a five, but I'll still give it a four due to a low point or two near the end. Also, they fucked up not including the trumpet solo at the beginning of Life in a Glass House. The extended version of the song with the trumpet solo is superior.

1.5 - What a bunch of pretentious bullshit. I've never found anything in the world that is more overrated that this awful band, shame on all of you that think you're cool for liking this garbage.

grande album ainda nao ouvi mas irei amo

I'm not sure how this album was received at the time; I'm sure it was divisive. No obvious hits, slower tempo, more experimental. Wouldn't recommend as a way to introduce someone to Radiohead. But this album goes to show how great Radiohead is because musically it's delightful and their popularity didn't suffer from this bold album. 3.5

these guys are just the best, not even their strongest album and it smokes most bands output

Good record, moody, but you can tell it's a lot of Kid A offcuts. It's a bit pretentious too.

"Amnesiac is bad!" and 50 other lies you can tell yourself.

I love his voice. I wish more songs were like hunting bears. Some songs definitely surprised me including life in a glasshouse. I keep going back and forth between 3 and 4.

Good album for the morning if you want to take it easy. Has one of my favorite guitar riffs with I Might Be Wrong. Not their best but still good.

Not the best Radiohead album, but a bunch of really great songs on here

Fine, never listened to Radiohead before so I'm looking forward to their other albums

Not one that’s up there with my favourites from Radiohead but I do still enjoy it. Pyramid Song is up there with the very best songs they’ve recorded. Top Track - Pyramid Song

Decent ambient stuff. It was okay. I’m just not a big Radiohead fan.

I've seen Radiohead live a couple of times, great band. Big fan of OK Computer, and Kid A and The Bends and some of the later albums. But this one album in particular has never clicked with me. I continue to find minimal enjoyment in listening to it. Couple of great tracks in it like pyramid song and might be wrong that pull the album up to a 3/5

Bastante abstracto para mí gusto, pero también hay una componente de desconocimiento de esta banda por mi parte. Radiohead no es solo creep.

A Radiohead album, but that doesn't mean it's good. While it has really good songs like "Pyramid Song", "Knives Out" and "Life in a Glasshouse", there were times on the rest of this album where I was like "what the hell am I listening to?". The best example for this is the third song, like genuinely, what the fuck is that song, it's boring and the vocals are awful. Anyway, this wasn't the greatest listening experience, surely one of their worst projects, if not the worst.

I came into this relisten with plenty of love for the album. I would honestly rank it in the band's top 3 at that point. Kid A is by far my favourite Radiohead album and sonically this is the next best thing. It seems that I forgot how incredibly disjointed Amnesiac really is. There is absolutely no flow to it. While it makes sense, considering the haphazard nature of its creation, it's not the greatest excuse. Incredibly strange sequencing, even stranger because I honestly have a hard time explaining why it takes me out of the groove this much. Half of this tracklist would easily slide into my Radiohead-best-of collection, but it's simply a project lesser than the sum of its parts. To be fair, when this album has low points, they really stand out. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors and this version of Morning Bell are some of their worst tracks not made in the Pablo Honey era. Favourite track: Life In a Glasshouse

yeah good new radiohead for me, liked it

Really liked I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, Dollars and Cents, and the jazz departure of Life In a Glass House. A very broody, yearning/lamenting kind of emotion behind everything here, has a rainy day feel but it was sunny out, maybe that hurt the rating here

I'm glad this album eventually picked up because the first four tracks were Not Good (and I say that as someone who typically LOVES weird shit). I Might Be Wrong was the first enjoyable track on here and fortunately it was mostly listenable from there on out. There were a few spots throughout where I was really vibing with the music, but it definitely was not a majority of the runtime and I was not upset when it was over.

I have no idea how to effectively rate this. On the one hand, this band is genuinely really good and one that I like more than most of the bands so far on this list. On the other hand, this album was so much nonsense. The random songs didn't make sense, they had some that were basically two songs in one, and they kept trying to do this jamming things where they were just making sounds for the sake of it.

Не самый лучший их альбом, но Pyramid song у меня лайкнута

Sad, depressive-ish.

The moment the album starts, I felt like in a trance-like state, absolutely phenomenal.

Finally! An album from my favourite band of all time. As soon as I saw this pop up, the rating was already clear and etched into my mind. Brilliant album!

4.5. This one grew on me. I hated it on first listen. I still don’t think it’s on the same level as OK Computer or the Bends, but Its close.

I'm glad the other reviews aren't just full of people who think anything Radiohead makes is gold. My second Raidiohead album. My first was In Rainbows which I was highly disappointed with given all the hype around it. This time around my expectations were lower, but I still liked it less than In Rainbows. I just can't get into Radiohead. The songs I do like by them come from the earlier albums, so maybe there is still a chance for them to click for me. Favorite Track - Hunting Bears Least Favorite Track - Morning Bell/Amnesia ⭐️⭐️

Great album, Pyramid song 🔥

She radio on my head until I amnesiac

Original and evolving, every Radiohead project sounds the same but in a good way. Not my favorite of theirs because of some of the subdued nature, but nevertheless a shining example of making interesting noise to compliment interesting moods

Pretty good.

5.0. Melhor album dos cabeça de radio

I spent two and a half decades not listening to this, and I have no regrets.

Is this better than Kid A? I don't think so.

This is the third or fourth album by this band on this list - talk about over-tepresented. It offers the same as the others - mediocre music, bland writing and atrocious vocals.

Phenomenal. Before being assigned this album, the only song on it that I knew was Pyramid Song. So I am at an early stage of getting to know the other songs here. Some of them have grabbed me quite quickly. I am comfortable to give the others more time. I can already say this is Incredibly Wonderful, 10/10.

80/100. A good and thought-provoking album. Artful, slightly disorienting, and quietly powerful. While not every track lands with equal impact, the overall experience is immersive. It’s a record built on atmosphere and tension rather than hooks.

I’ve always felt that Radiohead is overrated, but this album has two of my favorite Radiohead songs- Pyramid Song and Knives Out. Both songs are haunting beautiful, cinematic and emotional. I feel like they have these glimpses of brilliance where I understand the appeal and genius, but so much of their music falls flat for me.

As a late-converted Radiohead fan, I'm still surprised by the identity shifts between the albums. It's rare after the 1990s to have bands that dare to re-invent and explore as much as Radiohead. What's fascinating about Radiohead is that with every excursion, they sound to me more like spearheads in this direction rather than tourists. Their range and musicality is peak and a dignified successor of experimentalists like King Crimson, David Bowie, or Frank Zappa.

Kid A was a complete world. Amnesiac is what didn't fit in it — the offcuts from the same sessions, reassembled into an album. Some of it is interesting. None of it hits the same way. 2/5 — Kid A's shadow is a hard place to stand.

Makes me want to go lie down in my bed and cry. Not exactly a quality I'm looking for in music. As in Kid A, I like some of the sounds (here, especially "I Might Be Wrong"), but wouldn't listen to this ever again. I'll politely say: Please go whine into somebody else's ears, Thom Yorke. 1.5/5 - weak

I had this album when I was in high school, and I remember enjoying it more then than I do now. Now mind you, there are some absolute rippers on this record - "Pyramid Song" is great, "Knives Out" is great. On the other hand, there are a few tracks that are just more errant noodling with Yorke's warbling vocals on top, which look: I think his vocals work really well when the song itself is good, but when it's just a nothing-burger of a track ("Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors"), it makes for a bummer of a listen. More than a handful of these songs aren't bad, but aren't really good either. They're just kind of... boring, which is not a great word to hear when it comes to a Radiohead album. I dunno, y'all. Kid A got the better songs from this project. More accurately a 2.5.

Veldig fin musikk, ikke min stil. Blei fort bakgrunnsmusikk.

Its ok

I am certain that I am not a Radiohead fan and never will be.

I enjoyed this way more than expected. Super soothing. Not a radiohead guy historically, but I've listened to two albums in the last two months that are making me start to question why I'm not listening to more

Haha. Second Radiohead album in a month. I like this better. About half of these are at least interesting to me. I have heard about four of these songs before and maybe I will grow to understand Radiohead and maybe love them. The first cut has elements that remind me of Einsturzende Neubaten, some minimal techno bands and the corner percussion player using found pieces to bang on. Strangely, this is better than most as Thom is pulled back and not at empty cup whining. Of course, at least Pyramid which was released as a single has the trademark voice. The piano sounds pained. The lyrics sound pained. Maybe that is what I don't like mostly about Radiohead; the leaning into emoting every little thing. I do like the swinging near the end of the song. "Loser" by Beck quality to "I Might be Wrong". This record definitely feels like Radiohead trying to find new sounds. I like the loping quality to this. Right. "Knives Out". I feel like an arse saying this but this feels petty. Like trying to sound deep while processing an ordinary feeling. I remember being angry at the age of 16 and telling my friends that I was going to write a short story about a teen who plans revenge on his friends for not listening to him. Yeah, this reminds me of that cringe emotion of wishing someone dead or at least making that movie through your head. "Life in a Glasshouse" ain't no St. John's Infirmary. At the end, I still haven't learned to love them. However, I do get the changes between albums and why folks like them. Funny thing, a PJ Harvey song came on after and I thought, wow this is good. So, I am still not sure what puts me off my feed. I know a few folks who love this album and I have definitely found a song or two hear that I like and would play again. How influential? Not sure. It is part of the Kid A sessions which I hear a decent amount of people reference, so I guess it is a 3?

This is my favorite band. I will always give them 5s. This isn't their best imo but still a banger.

I was first introduced to this album in a college music theory class, when the professor played the final track as a rare example of polyphony in modern pop music. It’s an interesting point, and that track is still a favorite of mine. There are plenty of polyphonic compositions released in recent decades – but crucially, this is indelibly pop music. It’s a beautiful balance between convention and experimentation. Much of this is due to the talents and interests of the group, but when I hear songs like “I Could Be Wrong,” I think that maybe Radiohead are really just trying to be a dad rock band like Rush or Zeppelin, but they’re just too eccentric to pull it off.

This was a slow burn for me. Started as I would expect a post "Kid A" Radiohead would. Tracks 3 and 4 disconnected me from the album for a bit, I found myself listening just to get through it..and then "I Might Be Wrong" brought me back to the heavy bass and overdriven guitar that I come to look forward to in Radiohead's music. From that point on, each track left me satisfied and ready for more. Great, cohesive album. This project continues to prove me wrong about Radiohead.

A great album with some absolute bangers like pyramid and Dollars and Cents. But why do Radiohead do such random songs that sounds like they’re just clanging pots and pans together or dropping things on the floor. Always confuses me

I'm a bit surprised that this album is included on this site, my understanding of it is that it's the b-sides of "KID A" an album I love, probably my favorite RH record. And while perhaps its unfair to judge an album as anything but an individual experience, so many of these songs feel like less complete versions of songs on "KID A." To use the most popular song off this album as an example, "Pyramid Song" feels like "How to Disappear Completely" part 2. It places in a more critical mood than I'm used to when it comes to listening to music, and as I am now in said mood, lemme spit my shit. This might be the worst that Thom Yorke has sounded an album, which lemme be clear, he is one of my favorite rock singers. Nearly every performance feels dejected, a tone that isn't inherently bad, but one that can sound so mfing sleepy when it's not fully committed to. Like, pleaaase listen to this version of "Morning Bell" and tell me that he's trying. There are also multiple attempts at making their version of a trip-hop song that never fully click. And why is "Hunting Bears" on this album, it sounds like an attempt to start a Funkadelic song but anytime they keep practicing the first bar of the solo over and over. Okay, and I know I just talked so much shit, but I don't think this is a bad album, maybe just a bad Radiohead album. I do like "Pyramid Song" and "You and Whose Army" though. 2/5

another radiohead album but worse

Solid

wish i could listen to it for the first time again when i didnt understand half the things thom yorke said t may not be the band's most experimental work, but it contains some of their most creative recordings, and i think it is a sonic statement that reflects the potential of the ideas they work with the choice of sounds, the production, and the influences shown in this album reinforce the feeling of uncertainty, of being lost, and of difficulty in putting together the pieces of a fragmented memory to achieve a clearer picture, a concept that works very well and that, despite being in the title, is often overlooked despite not being able to rationalize its flaws, i still feel it needs a little push to reach five stars

Oooh Radiohead, another critic and general public darling, whom I've never actually listened to a full album before now. Well, this is as good a start as any! Yorke's wailing vocals are mostly all the right amounts of devastating, but other times grating to the ears. The album straddles the line between artistic and meandering, but thankfully that directionless-ness was usually more hypnotising than stagnating. Overall, "Amnesiac" is an impressive and technically interesting showing of experimental rock!

The longer that I listened to this album the more I liked it. I was drawn into the soundscape they were creating. The high point for me was Hunting Bears
