Amnesiac

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

grande album ainda nao ouvi mas irei amo

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Song Ratings: P.L.S.I.A.C.T.B. 5.2/10 Just felt very hollow and dry. Pyramid Song 9.1/10 The piano throughout was incredible I doubt there will be a better song than this one. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors 4/10 Straight Up Noise Pollution You And Whose Army? 9.1/10 The build up into the outro was 100 percent worth the wait. Such a well made song. I Might Be Wrong 7.6/10 Very solid I’m liking what I am hearing. Knives Out 7/10 A slight step down but still a good song. Morning Bell/Amnesiac 6.8/10 Not sure what was missing but something was. Background vocals were amazing though. Dollars and Cents 6.3/10 There were definitely some lacking elements but the production was amazing. Hunting Bears 4.7/10 Not necessarily bad just an instrumental. Like Spinning Plates 5.4/10 Just felt like a lot was happening without any real purpose. Life Is A Glasshouse 7.4/10 Whatever those instruments were they were elite.

Not my favourite but good all the same

The Radiohead album you know you’ve listened to, but can’t really remember anything about. Listening notes include: “Oh, weird, I thought that song was on Kid A”, “I think I just heard that song in an tv show recently”, “wow, this record has a lot of Radiohead classics on it… or maybe just songs that sound like other Radiohead classics?”, and other similar thoughts.

Mournful lyrics, rich music. I think I like this, but sometimes I'm not sure. The most wishy-washy review I've written. It doesn't immediately grab me, but it doesn't repulse me either. I feel like I need to listen to more Radiohead as it is making me curious, and that isn't a bad thing.

Still not my favourite Radiohead record. Probably the one I’ve listened to the least, always found it a bit inaccessible. I’ll devote more time time it because I’m sure it will eventually grow on me 25 years later. Favourite track: the pyramid song

This is my favorite Radiohead album on the list so far (3rd one). I liked a few of the songs, but Spinning Plates made me feel physically uncomfortable…so weird!

Having only listened to the song creep, I felt like I knew what I was getting into with this one, basically more of the same stuff that's made up this list so far. Alt Rock nonsense was my expectation. Instead, this album is experiential as heck. I'm not quite sure if I like it, but it does some interesting things. I guess the most surprising is hearing sounds they recorded in 2000/2001 that just sound like 2010s soundcloud or even more modern hyperpop. Do I like it? Not particularly, but I can see why this may have made the list. Favorite Track: I might be wrong

man I be side eyeing radiohead after I learnt the lead was acting funny. This album is cool, definitely would re-listen with some headphones. It evokes a mood but I'M WORKING! I'm realizing if an album isn't speaking to me while I work then I know it's not for me.

The companion of their previous album Kid A and recorded in the same sessions. A very creepy-sounding record, aural paranoia and isolation conveyed by minor keys, syncopated drum machines, and odd synth sounds and vocal treatments. Thom Yorke sounds especially morose and/or irritable on any given track, often wailing in a banshee falsetto. These two records further distance the band from the 90s guitar rock band they started out as. Compared to Kid A, there is less cohesion and theatricality; I think this really comes off as collection of stuff that they thought wasn't good enough or similar enough to be on Kid A, but still deserved release. The songs are an acquired taste and bear out some interesting ideas after repeated listens but this is not an accessible collection. If The Bends is their most accessible, conventional album, this is more of a piss-off (or even pissed-off) experiment. It ranks pretty low on Radiohead albums for me - there just isn't enough fire. That said, there are some stand-outs. I Might Be Wrong is a menacing yet haunting electronic groove. Dollars & Cents is an understated shuffle groove with paranoid-sounding synths and guitars. Life In a Glass House is a New Orleans funeral march.

average radiohead album but i didnt really like it thst much it wasnt the vibe

Took a bit to get into. Not my fav Radiohead but not bad

So not in the mood for this album today, or ever. Never been a Radiohead fan bc their sound irritates me. I know I’m in the minority. They’d never be in my top list, but I get that they’re somewhat significant.

I got this just days after getting The Bends, which is kind of unfair to this album. I love “Pyramid Song” and “I Might Be Wrong”, but otherwise didn’t feel especially into this album as much as Radiohead’s other masterpieces.

radiogood

I have normally overlooked this album, it's got some amazing songs, and some very unsatisfying ones

6/10

Good

Good jazz, very cool

Tuesday May 26th, 2026. Its giving "Intro music of a moderately well rated 2000s TV show". I am a fan of many of the more famous Radiohead songs but I wasn't a huge fan of this album. I like the piano parts in some of the songs but I didn't like some of the electronic effects. I really liked the intro of "I Might Be Wrong" though. 6/10.

There’s pretty songs on here for sure, and even the more abrasive experimental songs sound good, but it’s all just fine. I feel no emotions listening to this. “Life in a glasshouse” is the most interesting song thanks to the jazz instrumentals, but even that song just barely clicks with me. Maybe after listening to Kid A I’ll understand this companion album better, but for now it’s just meh.

Enjoyed this one, especially the jazz at the end. However, a friend said to me recently: Radiohead sounds like a whole lot of waiting for something to happen but nothing ever does - this album is true of that, not much if any rise and fall, fr it’s like if edging was an album

Impressive experimentation but nowhere near as cohesive as Kid A or In Rainbows

Certainly far from the best Radiohead album

283 It’s Radiohead, so you pretty much much know w hhh at to expect. Highly accomplished musicians, nonsense lyrics sang overly sincere, the smuggest fandom in music. Probably my least favourite Radiohead album but it contains my favourite Radiohead song (I might be Wrong) Highlights I might be Wrong Knives Out Morning Bell/Amnesiac.

It was certainly an interesting album. Nothing "bad" necessarily, but also not super enjoyable. Nothing I'd listen to again, but I can see how this would be very unique for its time. It sounds like it was made well, I just didn't vibe with it.

Huh?

honestly solid 3.5

Would give three and half stars if I could.

It's Radiohead, so it's pretty great. But this is not my favorite Radiohead album. When I get a Tier 2 album from a great band, it makes me wonder of all the tier 1 albums from that band are also on the 1001 list.

Perhaps appreciated for its advanced times of experimentalism, I could understand the draw. I personally will forever hold The Bends and In Rainbows as two must-listens, and hope that at least one of them may be on this list of 1001 Albums to Listen to Before You Die.

Listening to the spinning plates song felt like a spiritual experience

Very one note but Radiohead makes great ‘soundtrack’ albums!

I like some of the grooves, especially in the middle tracks, but this is too quiet, too meandering, too boring.

Engaging background music. Yes, that's a paradox, but I don't think Radiohead would mind.

Too abstract for me. I didn't truly dislike any of the songs, nor did I really enjoy any of them either. 2.5 rounded up to 3.

I was expecting this to bore me to tears. And to be fair, the vocals here do bore me. The instrumentals, however, do not (mostly). There are enough little touches of interest through the long stretches of Thom Yorke's lethargic whining to make me think that maybe they were on to something. Apparently this is the stuff that didn't make the cut for "Kid A". Maybe I'll like "Kid A", then? We'll find out, I guess. Anyway, somewhat better than I was expecting.

an interesting, multi-layered listen, with lots of bursts of noise and synths and clattering beats. I think the noisier, glitchier, more disorientating tracks are the best

aaah bicha se eu tivesse 15 anos quem sabe. trenheira meio enjoada, mas até que teve uns momentos bacaninhas

Listened to during walk at work and 5k run. Not the best for running, but a good vibe chilling wise. Not the biggest fan of the songs with just-electronic sounds (Packed like Sardines a good example). Stand outs are Life in a Glasshouse, Pyramid Song, and Knives Out, with Pyramid Song being my favorite. Not bad, would try again (probs not though).

Sempre estranho ouvir Radiohead. é experimental demais. São vários estilos dentro de um disco. Mas nesse eu senti algo muito repetitivo. Parece uma coletânea de músicas não acabadas Ouvirei novamente

I mean, yeah...it's sad. It's whiny. It's brilliant in places. It's Radiohead.

Very intense. And kinda whiny. Wish I could give 3.5 but rounding down

Radiohead always has this recognizable sound. Definitely visible here. Very somber. Morning Bells/Amnesiac and Like Spinning Plates were my standouts. 6.5/10.

I remember getting this album in 2001 or so and thinking Radiohead were over. Such a comedown after the run from Bends to Kid A. They rebounded with In Rainbows but they have not been at the same level as they were for their golden run. Happily this is better than I remembered it. I might have listened twice back in the day, but I enjoyed this overall

I’m a fan of Radiohead, but not sure why this one made the list. There’s a few songs I like, but it definitely feels like the leftovers of Kid A at times. Rating 5/10 Favorite song: You and whose army?

Radiohead er et af de bands jeg ikke ved, om jeg nogensinde bliver kæmpe fan af, selvom jeg har givet dem 2 5’ere og har nydt alt jeg har hørt med dem. Det bliver aldrig helt ved mig. Den her kunne sagtens være en der bliver bedre hvis jeg kommer tilbage til den

Some songs are supremely good. "Packt," and "I Might Be Wrong" securely fit into Radiohead's best space as strange, surreal, but still accesible alt rock. Other songs are tough to get through, to say the least: "Pulk" comes to mind. And then you have the Radiohead special of quizzical alt rock with sinister riffs, ghostly Yorke vocals, and plenty of reverb everywhere. Those are still good, but they're not the showstoppers like the first-mentioned songs.

I enjoyed this album and find I appreciate Radiohead’s unique and haunting sound.

Hmmm. Decent, because Radiohead is great but hard to get into many songs. Great sound ofc but again, there were many songs I found trouble fully enjoying.

Es un álbum totalmente blanco y negro. Los temas buenos son buenísimos y los malos son malísimos, pero valió la pena escucharlo

Liked the Pyramid Song for the piano, Amnesiac for the percussion, and Life in a Glasshouse for the horns, piano, real music, not synthesized to death like the rest of the album. The whiny, flat, off key vocals were depressing and just plain irritating.

buena instrumentación, pero en lo personal me gustan las canciones mas cantadas

this project in general has totally expanded my music tastes but it has also shown me I am just not a Radiohead-head :/ Wouldn’t turn this off nor would I put it on

Not there best but good

Compared to every other Radiohead release it isn't particularly melodic or experimental. And just like its title it was one of those albums which I listened to but can't tell you anything that really happened.

This probably found me on a wrong day, because it sounds like I should give it a 5/5. Sadly I just didn't feel it.

Life in glasshouse é a melhor musica do álbum na minha opinião, misturando jazz e melancolia desesperadora. E Hunting Bears também me chamou atenção, uma vibração de caça mesmo. Mas o restante do album eu não gosteo

I am a certified Radiohead enjoyer, but this ain't their best work

ahhh radiohead. pyramid song, knives out... exceptional songs! I might be wrong stood out to this time around, thats the new playlisted track from here. Overall will have to give a 3 however! All in all a few skips and or forgettable songs, with an unforgettable pyramid shaped song in there too. Not my favourite radiohead album and thats okay! Still an enjoyable listen that i return to once in a blue moon!

A Radiohead album I've never listened to. Good, but not their best.

3.5

Me gusta cómo el álbum se mete en algo medio raro, como en una realidad alterna, con sonidos experimentales que se sienten fuera de lugar pero a propósito. No conecto del todo con lo lento y melancólico, pero se me hace interesante hacia dónde va y lo que intenta hacer; también siento que son de esos álbumes que entre más los escuchas mas los comprendes y más te gustan, un gusto adquirido.

they're so sad.

It's OK. Not my kind of music, but pleasant to listen regardless.

Sonically proficient lyrically lacking

Good songs but kinda repeating

A good album, too many purely instrumental songs and parts of songs for my liking though

If only Radiohead stuck to maximalism. They would be one of my favorite bands. But they didn’t, so, naturally, my only resort is complaining about it on the internet. But really, their maximalist songs (examples from this particular album: Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army?) are so fucking chills inducing. I wish we could get more of this from them instead of what they usually prefer. Radiohead is one of the only bands (besides Swans, off the top of my head) who are capable of producing music that is so my thing as well as music that’s so not my thing. I don’t mind the atmosphere in their music most of the time. I just don’t enjoy how quiet a lot of their songs are. Most of their albums, this one included, are a mishmash of songs I find incredible as well as some that I think are kinda meh. I like a lot of their music, but there isn’t a single album I find wholly satisfying. 7/10

Radiohead's The Bends is one of my favourite albums of all time, so I feel a little disappointed to give Amnesiac quite low rating. It's definitely not one of their better works. I already knew I wasn't a big fan of their works past 2000, and I have listened to a couple songs from this album before, but really the only part of the album that I really like are the instrumentals. You And Whose Army? and Knives Out were really good listens though, but most of the other songs were kind of meh. The songs are sort of underwhelming in a way? They start off good and build up towards something, but most never really seem to reach it if that makes sense. It's just a pretty forgettable album.

Pyramid Song You and Whose Army? I Might Be Wrong Knives Out Like Spinning Plates Life in a Glasshouse

I can’t get into Radiohead. I have tried and tried and tried. Maybe because I didn’t listen to them in their prime? I have no idea. Weak neutral.

BOOORINGGGG. some parts are pretty good but it gets genuinely bad at times so it evens out

An interesing album. Not really my type. I really liked life in a glasshouse and hnting bears. Love the slow music , it's calming.

Now that we have had all 6(!) Radiihead on the list, I shall rank them: #6 - In Rainbows #5 - Amnesiac #4 - The Bends #3 - Kid A #2 - Hail to the Thief #1 - OK Computer Accordingly, this is a 2.5

Not my favorite Radiohead album but still enjoyable. I think I’d rank it a 4/10 but going with a 3. Felt like they’re getting just too weird here for me to really like it. Some crazy jazz feels on life is a glasshouse, such a different vibe for them and heavy electric vibes throughout. Fave songs: knives out, Life in a glass house

💘 Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box 💘 I Might Be Wrong

Легко прослуховується і має свою атмосферу. Проте якісь конкретні треки з першого прослуховування мені не запам'яталися

I can appreciate the technical brilliance of the music, but it's just not for me.

Easily my least favorite Radiohead album besides Pablo Honey and i'm generally surprised that's not consensus. First four tracks are great, cool new version of Morning Bell, aside from that I mostly skip this.

This is the fifth album from British band Radiohead, from 2001. It’s the first entry from them on this list - how many more will there be? To me this is a hodgepodge of alternative/electronica, and seems to be more mellow than their earlier music. I like that the band’s name is taken from a Talking Heads song. Overall it’s ok, 3.5 stars.

Yay!! Radiohead are so weird. I don't have this album because I found their singles in this era annoying. But it's all relative, because I like them a lot better than the majority of artists on this list. 'Knives Out' even has a movie named after it. Still, if I'm being honest, this is a 3 for me. Too plaintive, no hooks. I like the instrumentation though. Highlight: 'Life in a Glasshouse'

I really appreciate the experimental spirit of this album, but I think the result of these experiments was a bit lackluster. Overall it’s a little boring with some interesting moments. I’m not really a fan of Thom Yorke’s vocal flavor, but when I mentally recalibrated his singing as texture, it became less obtrusive. The atmosphere of Amnesiac is unique, but as a whole, it’s not for me.

A lot of weird stuff which I like but I don’t hear anything that’ll get repeat listening. Enjoyed more on a second listen with headphones.

I was kind of hoping more from this Radiohead album, but I just couldn't seem to find what I was looking for.

Vakkert, stemningsfyllt. Radiohead-sound.

Wasn’t in the headspace for this album on this first go around, so maybe I’ll change my mind later. Dull and forgettable. I’ve always thought the radio head glaze is crazy, but at least for good albums. This just wasn’t that enjoyable of a listen at the moment. Favs: I might be wrong, Knives out

knives out omggg

I remember Radiohead from the ’90s as a progressive-alternative pop band. There’s not much of that here; “Amnesiac” is more suited for falling asleep to. The songs aren’t even bad (“Knives Out” could even be called good), but somehow each one feels like it’s missing at least 10 BPM. It might work as a soundtrack for taking sleeping pills, but I don’t have the right occasions for that. It would work for me personally as elevator music, but first of all, I don’t have an elevator, and second, it’s probably too unconventional for the mainstream. Nice try, but for me, this record is an oversized sleeping pill. As I’ve seen, there are more Radiohead albums coming—that could get exhausting...

I really enjoyed the melodies on this album. It's exactly the kind of alternative rock I like! It feels very dreamy and dark at the same time. Edit: I listened to Kid A just a few days later, and I found it far more consistent, powerful and groundbreaking ! Rating: 3.5/5

I mean it’s alright. Kinda meh for Radiohead. You and what army reminded my brain rotted mind of that Nick eh 30 clip.

Lite svagare än de tidigare på listan men inte dåligt!

Bra sound, och ikoniskt märkligt. Ett par låter höjer albumet men träffar inte riktigt ett för mig i helhet, men najs att ha lyssnat på!

Radiohead är 5/5 när de är som bäst, tyvärr är de det för liten andel av tiden

very depressing, not in the way i like it. "You And Whose Army?" has a nice feel. Pyramid Song and Knives Out is too one dimensional for me.

Não gostei muito desse álbum. Os outros do Radiohead são melhores. Achei muito eletrônico e chato.

Much better end to end than Kid A - no song quite as much of a banger as 'everything in its right place' but a far more chilled and enjoyable listen imo

Not bad, but clearly Kid A cutting room floor scraps. Not essential.

I’ll say what said about Kid A… I appreciate Radiohead’s artistry, but th bulk of their catalog is for critics and hardcore fans; not the casual listener.

It's all very clever musically, it's a shame Thom's voice grinds my gears, only so much of it i can take.

Weird, elegant, a bit dull but challenging- typical Radiohead album. I enjoyed it, especially the last song. The ultimate thinking man´s band, for better or worse.

top 3 - Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, Hunting Bears. It’s fine, that’s about it.

Some bangers some to experimental for me

É sempre aquele misto de grande som e desconforto, não quero ouvir mais

E um álbum OK de Radiohead sem grandes highlights

A bit too depressing for me but nice instrumentals.

hard to listen to, but still ok.

Fun album, feels much fresher than its age.

Years ago, this was one of my favourite Radiohead albums. Now, I can clearly hear what a lot of people talk about in those days: this is a Kid A B-sides. Three songs stand out, though: Knives Out, I might be wrong and Pyramid Song. A 3,5.

A great headphones album but, to my ears, this is a "lesser" Radiohead album made up of songs that are like interesting ideas but not fully formed songs. There are a few exceptions--"I Might Be Wrong," "Knives Out," and the gorgeous "Pyramid Song"--but a lot of these ate like outtakes from Kid S, especially on the back half of the album. I do like the closer "In a Glasshouse" with its New Orleans horns and arrangement. But, overall, it's nowhere near as cohesive or engrossing as their best albums.

I like Radiohead but this album was kind of slow and plodding.

Okay

A good, solid, chill vibe.

Honestly there are some great songs on here, but this is not my favorite Radiohead album. Still, a 3 for just being Radiohead. 3/15/26

I enjoy Kid A, and I’m surprised I haven’t heard this. After review, this was released about 9 months afterward and is basically more material from those sessions. It seems a tad more experimental and some of the vocal effects might not have been super needed, but really enjoyed this! 3.6/5.0

Solid tunes but a bit abstract to be frequently listened to

I’m a big fan. However tracks on this album very mixed for me. Maybe not quite in the mood so a 3.

Added to Dissociation playlist

I knew a couple of these songs going into this album, The Pyramid Song and Like Spinning Plates. Knowing that this comes after Kid A, I feel like I like Kid A more, but similar vibes surely. This one is a little too same-y. I enjoyed You And Whose Army and I Might Be Wrong. But maybe I just wasn't in the right mood to enjoy as a whole. Life in a Glasshouse was a pleasant ending but came a bit out of left field with the trumpet and extra band, I would've like more of that maybe sprinkled in throughout. But I enjoyed that dynamic of song more than most on the album.

I like the overall idea and vibe of the album, but too many tracks are a tad too experimental, noisy or disharmonious for me so I wouldn't decide to listen to them on my own. Tracks I couldn't connect to at all: Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors Tracks I could've liked but something's off: Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box, Morning Bell/Amnesiac, Like Spinning Plates, Life In a Glasshouse Tracks I like: Pyramid Song, Knives Out, Hunting Bears Tracks I really like: You And Whose Army?, I Might Be Wrong Tracks I love: Dollars and Cents

I like radiohead not one of their better ones but got better as it finished

Pyramid song is perfect, the rest ranges from bleep bloopy to great

I only just had Radiohead. In fact, the last 3 days I've had an album from a band I've had before. I want something new! You can hear how good they are, but the whine really stops the music from going anywhere to be banging. As with the other Radiohead albums - good music, shame about the whinge.

nice little mood piece with a few very pretty songs, but kind of a silly inclusion on this list, even next to other records by the same band

Suena demasiado a lo que tiene Thom ya de solista, y eso no es malo pero está medio aburrido

first of many radiohead albums here and this one is partially a flop in my book. at this point they were shifting in their music style but they were on the verge of flying off the cliff also. still has some goods though.

My least favorite thing in this exercise is bumping into an album that swings between 2 and 5. Do I settle on 3, which I consider OK but I won't come back to this album much if at all? Or do I settle on 4, which to me means I'll definitely be coming back?

It's Another Radiohead album. Good stuff not really different than any other RH album

This was fine but I never felt very pulled by it.

Every radiohead song blended together and slopped into a walkman would sound like this. It's John Radiohead. Can I have some other artists now please??

I like Radiohead. They're unique and adventurous. But this album was a bit too different at times for too long. A few really good songs. A few decent listens. But another 3.

Ok

Pretty decent; It's no OK Computer or The Bends, but it's also not garbage.

This is the least engaging of the Radiohead albums I've listened to, many of which I love deeply. This ends up feeling like the leftover ideas from Kid A instead of a complete, finished work. Still sounds nice though.

I don't really care for Radiohead, mostly because of the vocals. I prefer Amnesiac to the more famous OK Computer. I'm swithering beteen 3 and 4 for this one.

Gimme in rainbows tho

Some killer some filler

Wow. It's so different.

Tempted to give it a 2 but there are some good tracks that save it. Not Radiohead’s best work.

Hmmm taki raczej słabszy Radiohead. I mówię to jako osoba, która kocha kilka ich kawałków. Ale ta płyta była taka senna w złym tego słowa znaczeniu. Pozbawiona iskry. 6/10

mysterious, alien invasion

joa

7/10

Har svårt att behålla fokus. Det blir bakgrundsmusik. Men bra bakgrundsmusik.

the sounds of doom and gloom

Listens: 2 Standout Tracks: Pyramid Song, I Might Be Wrong I think this album, and Pablo Honey.... and maybe The King Of Limbs are probably the albums I am the least familiar with in the Radiohead collection, so I am looking forward to a proper and thorough listen. --- This album had a few bangers, but otherwise felt pretty experimental. That's not a good or bad thing necessarily. The use of trumpets was pretty nice, and not so common on their other albums. I am not sure that this needed to be on the list, unlike OK Computer, Hail To The Thief, The Bends and Kid A (and I can only assume In Rainbows at this point).

Thom Yorke will write a good melody and sing the same word 10 times and people will cum without even touching themselves. It’s pretty good

Truly, I have never gotten into Radiohead and this was not in my top three of what I have listened to by them.

loveeee radiohead

It was a decent listen

Not listened before, I think I checked out with Kid A. When this is good, this is pretty good, as long as you like listening to his voice. When it's bad (I'm looking at you Pulk/Pull Revolving Door) it's really bad.

The highs (“Packt Like Sardines”, “I Might Be Wrong”, “Knives Out”, “Dollars and Cents”, “Life in a Glasshouse”) are high, but some of this album drags badly and sounds exactly like what it is: Kid A leftovers. This might be sacrilege to some: TKOL > Amnesiac.

This was a good album, not for me, but enjoyable. 6.4/10

Not hooking me. Fine for background. First song is interesting tho.

Life in a glass house is pretty cool with a jazzy feel. Hunting Bears could work really well in a movie scene, I can see it in my head. Overall, too many songs are just meandering. Again I am not super into radiohead and think I need to be in a specific setting for it to work for me.

I would consider myself a Radiohead fan. Really enjoy listening to their albums that I own. Understanding that I’m sure they are an acquired taste and appreciation comes from multiple listens. I did find this one a bit ‘more of the same’ and as I’ve said when reviewing other Radiohead albums, Thom’s whining can be a bit much at times. I found this one OK but probably would put on another Radiohead album if I was in that kind of listening mood.

Be Radiohead. Start a song fragile, whispy and moody, run that for half a song, add in a couple of tracks thwn keep adding jntil you have 100 instruments (most of them the same instrument) playing a wall of sounds, back it off a bit, rinse, repeat. Its not a terrible album but i find it a bit repetitive and I aint dancing to it. To be fair i like it a bit more than OK Computer. Its closer to UNKLE’s Rabbit In Your Headlights which Yorke co-wrote and I quite like, but a while album of the same mope, build, crecendo, drop?

Classic Radiohead. Impeccably produced. Boundary pushing. Impossibly impenetrable.

Cool and interesting

Haven’t ever managed to conclude this is a good album. I might be wrong (is decent). And Knives Out more typical fodder. Can’t get into weirder stuff like Like Spinning Plates. Headache inducing. Will be generous and give it 2.6.

Overall not as enjoyable as Kid A (like the White Album, a great single album exists for these two, albeit likely widly different for everyone..) My highlights were Dollar n Cents where they manage to out Can Can but then inexplicably stop short of 5mins instead of jammimg for another 10-15; and the last jazz track - when the trumpet kicks in - man, that cat can really blow!!

Meh, I’m not sure of this. It very much sounds like a band playing with ideas, but not always developing the concept into a fully formed song. A few highs include pyramid song, hunting bears, and the glasshouse track at the end was really interesting. It just does not offer enough consistency to make me want to come back to it.

good :) might be biased i already like radiohead so gave it a fairer shot than maybe some other albums; life in a glass house, you and whos army?, i might be wrong are stand outs

Feb 4, 2026 - This is a whole movie soundtrack honestly.

⭐⭐⭐ 3 Fav: Knives Out Menos fav: Punk/Pull Revolving Doors Muy bueno todo, me encantaron las composiciones y se escucha muy bien. La vibra general es bastante tranquila y medio depre. En algunas partes se siente medio experimental, pero de una buena forma. Tiene ritmos lentos y mezcla partes acusticas con algunos efectos que quedan muy bien. Hay algunas letras que no les veo mucho sentido, pero suena bien igualmente. Si escucho todo el album junto la verdad es que me resulta un poco reprtitivo

A tough listen. I know I like things that are interesting. And this was. But the voice is much better in some of the lovely warm songs they do rather than this alienating yowling.

I appreciate this album more than I like it. It's an artistic achievement in the sense that it's creative without any restrictions, but it's mostly just moody moans over ambient guitars and sampled drums

Feels like the vocals arent really living up to the background in this, still enjoyable enough easy listening but got a bit samey over the course of the album. Love the brass in glasshouse tho i’d written a harsher review before they chirped up.

It started off slow, but really picked up in the middle and towards the end. It’s Radiohead, so it’s going to be some weird atmospheric stuff for at least part of it, but it’s still really good, and not at all unexpected. I’m a fan and I liked it.

Amnesiac feels like drifting through a fog at night. Uncomfortable, beautiful, and hypnotic.

the album doesn't have a unifying theme, but there are some good individual songs in there.

3.5

This one took me a long time to decide on, and I'm still not sure. Radiohead is such a curious band. Instrumentals are interesting, albeit pretty repetitive at times, providing a blanket of sound. The vocals, sultry and quiet, are like running a hand softly over that blanket of sound. Providing a cool but comfortable listening experience. Not sure I'd reach for it, but I did enjoy it and listened multiple times.

surprise inclusion! I don't think this is their best work, particularly Yorke's, but I do think there is some beautiful jazz instrumentation going on here. Hard to argue this over ok computer and Kid A. Alas, I think this would be a "great" album if it weren't in the context of their other body of work. 3.5

The shorter songs from Kid A make for an interesting collection on Amnesiac, some of which are good but it is a mixed bag.

Experimental but enjoyable

tolles album, schöne songs - aber wenig packend.

I think the reason I stayed engaged with this album for the most part is the variation in instruments and musical style from song-to-song. The Revolving Door song is heavy and mechanical with drums and the next song is relaxed and fluid with piano. As someone who is usually most attentive to lyrics and meaning, the way the instruments were used is what I enjoyed most about this album and what kept me interested. I feel the artist is meditating on pain and angst which I can enjoy to some extent but by the end of the album felt a bit draining as a listener. I think the album could have been much shorter.

Drowsy samesy kind of album

Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box - 3/5 Pyramid Song - 4/5 Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors - 2.5/5 You And Whose Army? - 4.5/5 I Might Be Wrong - 4/5 Knives Out - 4/5 Morning Bell/Amnesiac - 4/5 Dollars and Cents - 3/5 Hunting Bears - 2/5 Like Spinning Plates - 3/5 Life In a Glasshouse - 4.5/5

The bends is still undefeated

I think I'm comfortable with the fact that OK Computer is the only Radiohead album I really like. This album is kinda cool, I just don't know what to do with it. I wouldn't listen to this while on a road trip. I wouldn't listen to this while making dinner. I don't want to listen to this while I'm doing work or cleaning up the house. You and Whose Army? is pretty cool. So is I Might Be Wrong. Life in a Glasshouse, cool jazzy vibe. Too much shit in between it all, though. Glad I listened to it, respect the talent...probably won't return to it.

While there are some great tracks on this record, I find it a little experimental in patches for sit down listening.

I think that I’m too dumb for Radiohead. I liked some of the songs, the instrumentation was great but I don’t really GET it..

Amnesiac is a continuation of Radiohead's Kid A, an experimental Electronic album that took a while to grow on me, but oh boy has it. Amnesiac took a shorter time to grow on me than Kid A did, but it didn't grow nearly as much. There are some moments of absolute brilliance as is to be expected from nearly every Radiohead album; Pyramid Song being the obvious standout that's comparable to the highs of Kid A. The anxious jazz-influenced sound of this record does work well, they manage to keep the production interesting for about 70% of the album. Amnesiac's main fault lies in its lack of focus, especially compared to Kid A. The album lacks cohesion, mostly feeling like a collection of songs thrown together without much thought (which I guess in some sense it is). Much like the Krautrock that inspired the album, some songs just fiddle around a little too much without really doing anything noteworthy. In general the album is just a lot more unpolished than the precedent set by Kid A. While I know it's not the fairest to base the quality of an album off another, with how closely these two albums are related it's hard not to. There's definitely still merit to Amnesiac, it has some incredible moments that make it well worth it to brave out the slower bits. It's definitely not the first album I think to put on for Radiohead, probably not even top 5, but that says more about how consistently amazing the band is.

“i know you can feel overwhelmed and underwhelmed, but can you ever just feel whelmed?” -bianca stratford

I enjoyed a few songs

I'm enjoying this. But it's far from perfect. There are moments of brilliance interspersed with moments of sheer meh.

Okay

Really got into this as background music while I'm working

This album was very experimental, and there were some ways where I felt that it really worked for the most part. It really just wasn’t my cup of tea overall didn’t have the most enjoyable time listening to this album, but I can really see why people like it it’s just not something that I would find myself going back to for the most part. There are definitely a few songs in this album that I like though.

Appropriately named. Listened, liked, and can't remember a bit of what I heard.

Couldn’t get into this album, not one of their best

eh

A really good sperimentali album. We can hear the real sound of the band and the sperimentale things they do. Really liked dollars and cents good rythm

A very cool and interesting listening experience, Radiohead do very good job of creating this atmospheric music. I feel like this album would make a killer soundtrack for a sci-fi type of film. One or two of the instrumental tracks I wasn’t really a fan of too much and I feel like they still could benefit from some vocals. The overall mood created is quite sombre, but it’s very well done, again Radiohead really excel in this field, the production quality of the sound is insane, super crisp and well built. Most of the songs to me feel like an outro song to the end of a movie or a TV series, which is great as music pieces/scores but unfortunately, I can’t really see myself listening to many of the songs again unless I’m in a very specific mood. Standout songs ‘pyramid song’ and ‘knives out’ I would rate on the higher end of 3 stars 100% but just not quite a 4 for me because I am unlikely to re-listen.

2.5

2.5

The album is abstract. The songs accentuate rhythm and repetition. It's pop. It's electronic with guitar used sparingly. Vocals are very light and ethereal. It's good, but, I didn't love it.

Very lackluster, yet again why is this a special album?

I love Radiohead, as anyone does, but i’m surprising myself in that this album is not familiar to me at all. Enjoying it so far. Still somber but great production as always. A little bit strange but I like it a little goofy

Have a unique sound which I like. I don't know any of these songs but I will familiarise myself more with this band as they interest me. Listened to painting kids cupboards.

3.5/5 Interesting and creative. I definitely enjoyed it more than expected but the dreary whininess of the vocals prevent me from giving a full 4/5

Not bad background music

admittedly really good music but a little too depressing for my taste... I've heard You and Whose Army before in my American Protest Music class and really like that song, and I also liked Dollars and Cents and the Pyramid song but the rest I found very dreary and melancholic. I can see why people like Radiohead and would like to try to listen to some of their other albums.

Not their best stuff. Couple of classics like Knives out and Pyramid Song. As other people have said before, this feels more like a collection of tracks than a cohesive whole. I prefer the single B-sides over most of these songs.

prefiro o radiohead comercial 😅😅 bem chatinho os instrumentais “experimentais” parecendo um ventilador. não prestei muita atenção em todas as letras, as que prestei eram só ok

Ok

I wasn’t a radiohead fan and I know very few songs from them. this was a new experience for me and I realized I would’ve been a huge fan in highschool. Yet this sound is not to my liking anymore and it makes me feel gloomy. some songs would be nice to add to my playlist, yet the whole album experience is a little too heavy to digest at once. 3.5/5

Beautiful dreamy music

It is a little too conceptual of an album for me. It's Radiohead, so I believe there is a genius background with methodical and deep elaboration of these songs, but maybe wasn't the right fit of the mood for today. Still, there are some good songs I'll add to the playlist I use when I want to cry and feel horrible. "Knives Out" stuck out to me from the rest of the album. There are great instrumentals. They bring these nostalgic, moody, and sad emotions, but aren't always my type of music. "Life In a Glasshouse" is a good finishing track for the album.

Meh.

Some good tracks (Pyramid Song, Knives Out), but overall a bit slow and samey. Probably a 3.75 all the same.

Not my stile

nice enough

ehhhhhh

Leider anders als erwartet. Ziemlich psychodelic angehaucht für meinen Geschmack dadurch echt schwer anzuhören.

Not my favorite of theirs but live Radiohead!

Feels like all the cut content from Kid A was just dumped here. Regardless, it had a few standouts: You and Whose Army, Knives Out, Morning Bell and Life in a Glasshouse. A solid album, not Radioheads best but I like the ambition and experimental sounds of it.

Not sure why this is on the list. Is my 5th RH album in 30 loadings and this one is just, there. Maybe it's just fatigue at this point but I was never grabbed.

I always thought this was one of Radiohead's weaker albums. Too experimental, not listenable enough. I've come 'round to it upon relistens, but not by a lot frankly. High points with "Pyramid Song" and this album's version of "Morning Bell", but a long drag in between those. That said, I appreciate this is an early attempt at the sound the would continue to cultivate through "In Rainbows" and "A Moon Shaped Pool", or even Yorke's solo "The Eraser". Would easily listen to this over "Pablo Honey" though, haha.

I was a Radiohead fan in my teens. I still appreciate them, but they don't hit for me like they used to. Furthermore, Amnesiac is not one of their stronger albums. They'd just come off one of the band's creative peaks in Kid A, and frankly, it seems like they didn't really know where to go from there. It's telling that the most I found myself enjoying the album was during Morning Bell, and my only listening note was, "What the fuck is Pulk/Pure revolving doors? Self-indulgent rubbish." I don't really know why this is occupying a spot on this list. Strong 2 / Light 3.

not my favorite radiohead album, but it does have a couple of really good tracks (Pyramid Song, Knives Out)

I think this is one I will come back to - I listened to it twice and liked it more on the second listen. There's celarly a lot to "get" about this album that I am still getting. But the highlights (Pyramid Song and Life in a Glasshouse) I really enjoyed.

Sort of passed me by this one. Not a Radiohead I’m aware of, and I am half a fan. Nothing stood out during as well. Simpsons: Yes

I did really enjoy some of the tracks, but other bits were quite boring and forgettable.

Op sommige stukken heel goed, op andere heel rommelig. Favoriete liedje: pyramid song

good

Pablo Honey is the only great Radiohead album. Fight me! I have not been able to stomach these guys since that album. The Bends has a couple of good songs, but everything after that has done nothing but annoy me. I have to admit I never once heard this album, though. And I'm not as mad at it as the rest. It's perfectly fine background music. I liked it better upon repeated listening. Thom's voice is pretty much at it's least annoying here. Still a bit whiny, but not as melodramatic as usual. Much more sing-talking and that's the best use for him. Sometime I think he thinks his voice is a guitar and he just makes weird ululations. I know the 2 guitar players are good. It's evidenced in their earlier works and I've seen them play with other folks on video. But here, as in most of their albums, they get buried under layers of production. Shame. It's Ok.KI wouldn't run to turn it off it came on somewhere. But I don't think I'll be pulling it to enjoy much either. I'm being kind and giving it a 3 because while I didn't love it, it's produced well (aside from hiding the guitars from me) and it doesn't have any really annoying bits.

you and whose army + life in a glasshouse greatest songs here, pulk/pull RD instrumental great, pyramids pyramids pyramids, packt like sardine is also very interesting but the repeated eeriness is throwing me off. overall production is carrying this entire album 7.5/10

On my Radiohead playlist so will revisit later

After the first Radiohead album, I wasn't particularly thrilled to listen and it was sketchy. Pulk nearly made me stop listening but after that? A beautiful album. It flowed so well and was so hauntingly beautiful at times

Good but not their best

Not sure. I don't mind the experimental aspects of the music so much, but it's the laid-back depressing musical style, (especially the vocals), that I'm not a fan of.

They all sound the same to me

Amnesiac is one of those albums that seems engineered for people who already speak Radiohead fluently. The textures are inventive, the musicianship is sharp, and there’s a lot of craft hiding under the surface. But for me, the emotional connection never quite shows up. Thom Yorke’s voice, which is the anchor for so many fans, ends up creating distance instead of drawing me in. It’s expressive, sure, but also a little alienating, and that colors the whole experience. The songs drift between eerie jazz, electronic experiments, and hushed ballads, and while I can appreciate the ambition, it’s hard to feel fully pulled into the world they’re building. I understand why this era of Radiohead is beloved, and I respect the creativity behind it, but the resonance just isn’t there for me. I’m glad to have spent time with it, but it’s more of a “respect the artistry” listen than something I’d return to. A solid three stars.

Just ok for me.

Amnesiac starts with so much potential. Pakt in a Sardine Can has such a cool groove, I’ve loved this song since I heard it in 2001. Then we get Thom’s caterwauling on Pyramid Song. Just can’t stand it. The music behind it is interesting too. Pull/Pull is a cool composition, the robotic voice over the incessant electronic beat. Back to the Caterwauling on You and Whose Army. The riff for You Might Be Wrong is so great. Typically I’d want garage style drums with it but the electronic beat and synth bass works well, it almost reminds me of an Aphex Twin type beat. I like the ominous Chromatic Mediant of Morning Bell but could do without Thom’s singing. Dollars and Cents is a cool surfy/psychedelic groove. Overall I enjoyed it more than I expected to.

I like it

I am a fan of Radiohead, but this is not the one you have to hear before you die.

It is its own thing which is great and I enjoy listening to it. You and Whose Army in Incendies put me on Radiohead and it remains their standout song on this album.

I would give it like a 3.5. The production is really good i’ll give it that there are some really interesting sounds and I love how full it sounds, everything just kind of flows into each other. I’m not a huge fan of music where I can’t tell what they’re saying though and it’s just not really my type of music in general, but it was good

The last song may have singlehandedly bumped this up but I don’t LOVE this album the way that I love most Radiohead albums. This is a solid 3.5 to a 4. There just doesn’t feel like a super cohesive idea here. And the best songs are so much better than the rest of the songs.

Pretty pointless Radiohead inclusion if you ask me. First two tracks are the best. 2.6/5

2.5 stars I’ve never been crazy about this album the handful of times I’ve listened before. Even though it was recorded at the same time as Kid A, if feels like a transition between Kid A and the mediocre HttT. But when I listen I remember that there’s a lot to like to the music. It just doesn’t really flow as an album to me. The pacing feels off. Some of the songs feel less impactful. But there are good songs and I don’t hate it when it’s over the way I do with their next record. But don’t know if it’s a must listen, particularly for people who aren’t fans of the band, considering they have at least 4 better albums.

Solid but not their best work. Won't be going back for another listen.

Sad drone

Well I've listened to a fair amount of Radiohead before, but actually have not listened to Amnesiac all the way through so this will be a first. "Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box" is quite interesting to me. The instrumentation is extremely out their and works well, and yet taken as a whole, there's something almost pop-adjacent about it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I do really like it. "Pyramid Song" I've seen this song mostly talked about due to the 'music theory' involved in it, but the song is doing a lot more then just trying to be pretentious for the sake of it. I love the feeling like the song is "catching" itself. Almost the musical equivalent of the feeling of falling asleep, only to catch yourself and wake back up at the last moment. Its also very cinematic, I can see the line between something like this and their attempt at a James Bond intro. "You and Whose Army?" just reminds me of Incendies at this point, great movie, never gonna watch it again. God damn "I might be Wrong" is good, sometimes radiohead just finds a tune and explores it perfectly and suddenly I "get" the hype. I am very off and on about the entire discography of Radiohead but when they hit it, they do it out of the park. "Knives out" sounds dramatically different from everything so far, and feels like it belongs on another radiohead album. It's very much a radiohead song that blends into all the other songs. The second half of this album really feels like it goes to nowhere after the first half. I don't know if that's the intent, but it feels quite unfulfilling and not nearly as fully formed as the first half. Perhaps I'm not in the mood for it, but it did feel like the album stalled out and so did my interest.

Продакшн и сведение конечно на высоте. Еще бы без нытья было, но это уже был бы не radiohead

Atmospheric. Had a nice nap to pair it up!

Radiohead's obviously quite a monochromatic band (that's kind of the point), but I prefer the records where there are brief splashes of color that invigorate that sound. Not enough of that here, despite some really good tracks

Doesn’t quite breakthrough at any point for me. A B- side album.

Good??? Depressing??? Masterful??? Boring??? Who could say???

Good for lo-fi, chiller vibes while I'm trying to accomplish tedious tasks, but this isn't really something I can see myself vibing to or putting on repeat in the future. Feels like the songs are hurt by how whispery/murmury the vocals feel too in addition to the random wailing. An alright album at best but not the most memorable I've ever heard. Couple points for Life In a Glasshouse being some sweet jazzy jazz.

This album is fine, but if I’m being honest, I’ve always preferred Kid A. There’s a reason most of these tracks didn’t make it onto that record—they’re looser, more fragmented, and while none of them are outright bad, they don’t feel like top-tier material either. Amnesiac has always been framed as a companion to Kid A, but the comparison ends up working against it. It’s like when your favorite movie finally gets a sequel: all the familiar ingredients are there, yet the spark—the heart—is missing. That, in a nutshell, is Amnesiac.

I've listened to maybe 10-20 Radiohead songs and nothing from this album. It's pretty good. It will be interesting to compare this album with others. 3/5 —————————————— Liked: — Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors — You And Whose Army? — Life In a Glasshouse

Solid record. Hunting Bears the highlight.

It’s Radiohead there’s not much to say, I like the electronic bits. A strong 3/5

I really liked "I Might Be Wrong" - the first thing on the album that really grabbed me. Never been a huge Radiohead guy and I don't really know why, it just hasn't grabbed me. I had OK Computer a few weeks ago and liked it a lot! So maybe I am learning. I think this album was pretty weird, I am surprised Radiohead is as mainstream as they are. It was also pretty boring - nothing really jumped out to me and I don't care for the vocals on this record really. Over a whole album it's just not for me. I am doing a “neutral” 3 stars because I’m still learning my rating system here. 2 stars seems too harsh.

Evil

I'm a Radiohead guy but this was pretty boring. All the songs are very samey, I get that its their style but ~50 minutes of just "ooooh aaaaaaah saaaaaaddd" over a reversed guitar track didn't do it for me. Was going to give it a 2 originally but Life in a Glasshouse was really really cool. Love the sax. Favorite Track: Life in a Glasshouse

I love them for their weirdness, their fearless will to experiment, but I don’t always enjoy the results.

half the songs are good the other half is more noise than music

начали хорошо, а после середины улетели куда-то в экспериментальные звучки и немного затерялись... поставила бы 3.5, но такого варианта к сожалению нет. не обижайтесь, радиохэд, у вас есть альбомы сильно лучше.

Not their strongest; would probably warrant a 3.5 as I'd enjoy it in some moods, but only really enjoyed a couple of tracks

I had to listen through this twice because of how quickly the 43 minutes go. "Morning Bell/Amnesiac" is the stand out for me, but really this whole album just makes me sad. It's raining today too, I'm haunted by the greyness, I feel like the little dude on the album. Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors - is such a trippy atmosphere. I definitely get the vibe that this is the B sides to Kid A. I do enjoy Kid A more, but both leave me feeling equally grey... Or feel like I should be sitting in the middle of a padded room, looking at the pulsing nature of the waves... idk LOL 6.5/10.

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

There are better Radiohead albums out there than this, but it’s not as bad as the last one they gave us.

It’s a pretty interesting album, of course Injust knwe radiohead from creep. But this other stuff from them its something I enjoy more. I also love the fact that it let me on a lot of nore music that I will hear more and more of.

Probably Radiohead’s most challenging album when it was released. Stripped back production on most tracks compared to their prior releases. I would say Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors is more experimental and challenging than anything on Kid A. The album has a cold, dark, mellow vibe overall. In some ways it feels more like a collection of polished demos than a cohesive album. As many songs as I like a lot here, mostly the middle section of the album, there’s as many that are meh or I really don’t care for. An interesting, worthwhile listen overall but I wouldn’t consider it an essential album. I consider it in Radiohead’s 2nd tier under The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows in Tier 1.

There are a good number of tracks I enjoy on here but let’s call a spade a spade. We could’ve left Kid A B-sides off this list (3.5/5)

Not my jam
