Amnesiac

Boy did I forget how much I like this project at times. Believe it or not I actually like Amnesiac a good bit, I think it still suffers from the biggest problem Kid A also has. That problem being this album wants you to feel things at the cost of the tracks coming together a bit clunky. I won't lie I get why people don't like Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors but it is far from Radiohead's worst song. Also call this Kid A B-sides all you want but we all know that this was supposed to be a double album so that means they are in fact not B-sides but a whole other experience. I find this album to be a really good driving album, everything feels so vast like watching a mountain slowly fade into the distance when driving on the highway. There was a point in time where I thought this album was better than Kid A but now I know that opinion is just wrong. It's a solid listen but is nothing compared to it's much more appreciated and loved twin.

Part two of Kid A, at times its leftovers, at others its genuine extension. In either case, Amnesiac isn't very exciting: even w/ its signaling of forgetful and bewildered states of mind, I'd have liked more energy, at least more in-your-face lethargy if a slothful approach is indeed what they're going for. I wouldn't call this a caricature of the Radiohead sound, but only a handful of the tracks poignantly command the band's signature resonance: 'You And Whose Army,' 'Knives Out,' 'Morning Bell/Amnesiac.' Lyrically, Yorke relies too heavily not only on the obscure but the trite: 'There are doors that let you in / And out / But never open'; 'While you make pretty speeches / You feed me to the lions / A delicate balance.' Ya can't tell me that’s not...soft.

Never listened to this album before because I heard it was Kid A leftovers. I can hear why this is the case (Morning Bell is literally on here again, love that song so I can't hate). A lot of boops and beeps. I'm not a huge Kid A fan so that doesn't help, but Pyramid Song alone bumps this to 3 stars for me.

Often times an extremely artistic and beautiful album, interjected with possibly the single weirdest songs I’ve ever heard which make for a bizarre and often unpleasant listening experience.

Amnesiac is the first Radiohead album I’ve had to listen to for this challenge and, while it’s not the first album of theirs I’ve heard, it might be the one I’ve been exposed to the least. Not to say I’m massively knowledgeable about the band’s discography, but most of their albums have at least one song I’ve heard or are brought up enough in wider music discourse that I at least recognize its name/artwork – that was not the case here, so I went into Amnesiac virtually blind. After listening through it, do I feel like I’ve been missing out all this time? Honestly, not really. I’ll always appreciate Thom Yorke’s drive to make thought-provoking, experimental music, but this particular batch just didn’t have a lot of tracks that landed for me. What happened the majority of the time was that a song would open up with a cool idea that would make me turn my head a little a go “oooooh,” but then it would get looped to the point of annoyance and/or not progress in an interesting way. Only a few cuts on Amnesiac left enough of an impression on me to make me want to revisit them, so I wouldn’t say the album is a MUST listen – I feel confident that there are much better Radiohead LPs coming later on! Highlights: Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, Life in a Glasshouse

Mai mult de fundal

It's Radiohead. It's weird. I always loved the Pyramid Song. I don't know that I'd ever care to get more than surface level on Radiohead, so this was fine in the background.

This is the first time I feel like I kind of get Radiohead. They’ve never really worked for me but I appreciated the melancholy of this. Some of it (like Pulk/Pull) really didn’t work for me, but a lot did

6.5/10

When I first bought Radiohead's "Amnesiac", upon its initial release, it was largely a disappointment. My view has mellowed over the intervening years, but it remains a mixed bag. For me, the album is anchored by three stand-out tracks: "Pyramid Song," "You and Whose Army?," and "I Might Be Wrong." The remainder of the material ranges from decent but somewhat dull to outright poor. Three stars. No. Title 1 "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box" (2/5) 2 "Pyramid Song" (5/5) 3 "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" (2/5) 4 "You and Whose Army?" (5/5) 5 "I Might Be Wrong" (4/5) 6 "Knives Out" (3/5) 7 "Morning Bell/Amnesiac" (3/5) 8 "Dollars and Cents" (3/5) 9 "Hunting Bears" (3/5) 10 "Like Spinning Plates" (3/5) 11 "Life in a Glasshouse" (3/5) Total - 36 Average - 3.27 141/1001 72/141 albums reviewed were new to me.

An important step in their transition into their Weird Shit Phase. I get it and appreciate more than I did at the time. Some incredible arrangements and structures here, inside some admittedly hard to deal with noise and vocals. You're rewarded with some all-timers in Pyramid Song, I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out. Life in a Glass House is goofy but I like it. You can also see Jonny Greenwood's path into film scores.

Why's this guy so sad?

It's definitely something different

Objectively it’s good but it lacks fun factor for me

Kudos for the inventiveness of this album. Not my jam, though.

Feeling 3.5ish, def see how this laid the foundation for their later work

I think I sit on a 3.5 for this one, I do enjoy Radiohead but this particular album doesn't seem to hit as hard as their more revered projects. This is another situation where I think I'm going to get the book to see where there headspace was at when suggesting this album in particular. I'm not the Radiohead SAVANT but when the options are The Bends, Kid A, In Rainbows, and OK Computer it's strange they went with this pick instead of those others. In regards to the album itself, its easy to listen to and has the Radiohead charm I enjoy. But no track really jumped out to me as one I'd deliberately put on and jam to. Perhaps the reason this one came up was because, similar to the Foo Fighters album, it's the project less people are familiar with?

I’m going to preface this review by stating that “Life in a Glasshouse” may be one of the most me-coded songs I’ve ever heard. Quite frankly this is one of the best pieces of music I have ever had the privilege of listening to. The brass section was doing things in 2001 alongside this sadboy ass music we haven’t heard SINCE 2001. What the fuck. HOWEVER, I think the rest of the album is alright. Nothing particularly stood out to me in a strong direction one way or another. I’m going to give this a strong 3.5. Leave your strongest creep cover in the comments.

I know I’m supposed to love Radiohead, but often they’re just perfectly fine to me. 6/10

Ja naja, Radiohead. Passt schon.

I'm not sure why this is on the list (according to the index I've been using it isn't, but that must be outdated.) It's a bunch of atmospheric B-sides that surely appeal to the diehards, but I didn't need to hear them.

of all the radiohead albums I think this is the one you need to hear the least before you die. kid a but less good

Slightly missed the mark for me, a mid tier Radiohead album at most. The sister album Kid A was a much more coherent version of this one.

radiohead again. still ok but boring

I like Radiohead a lot but I don't think this album needs to be on this list.

I like Radiohead in small doses. I wasn’t really in the mood for this album, however, there were a few songs I was already familiar with that I enjoyed. Added to Library: Packt Like Sardines Pyramid Song I Might Be Wrong

More Radiohead. As the list progresses, we now get multiple repeat offenders per week. Radiohead has been ok for the most part but I’m certainly not “giving thanks” upon seeing Thommy Yorke and the lads nudge their electronic instruments into frame. Considering that I haven’t even heard OF this record, I’m not anticipating a classic. I’m sure that news has shaken the earth in a far-flung nation somewhere. Or maybe that was just a regular earthquake. Listen, we don’t have time to discuss. There are lives at stake. Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box - Zany song title that is accompanied by a track that is actually pretty fun. More shock. See? I too am a reasonable man. Please do not go near my case, it contains armadillo innards. Do NOT ask why. Pyramid Song - This song tried to get me to listen to two other songs and to get those songs to listen to two other songs. I tried to get Limp Bizkit’s Break Stuff to listen to Giant Steps by John Coltrane but now I’m just financially destitute. Damn you, Pyramid song. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors - POV MFW I pull the pulk door TMI TBH FYP #respect #pulkhead This is actually another pretty cool song. You and Whose Army? - The imaginary army I invented as a toddler (just now) that is comprised of armoured walruses with swords for tusks. That’s my army. Who is in your army? Emaciated music nerds? The reanimated corpse of skrillex? Try me pal. I Might Be Wrong - You were on this one. Geez this is dull. Knives Out - Due to the ample girth of my fingers, I often use “O’s” and “I’s” interchangeably or add superfluous instances of either letter. This is, of course, not intentional, but alas, happens regularly. I say all this to say that adding an O to English words with an I already in them makes them sound like you have an English accent. Morning Bell/Amnesiac - This is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. Dollars and Cents - Pounds and pence didn’t test as well in the good ol’ USA. I say “good ol’” satirically. No “good ol’” place has the top Cause of Death for children as guns. It usually just has fresh baked goods and a friendly shopkeep. That’s a good ol’ place. I like the jazz underneath this track. Enjoyable. Hunting Bears - Twink anthem to the tune of the opening riff from MTV stunt show, Jackass. Like Spinning Plates - It’s pretty ‘ard, innit? Life in a Glasshouse - It gets real hot and the sun burns my vintage Haystack Calhoun 8x10’s. Fuck the glasshouse. Ruining my good shit. Priceless hoss heirlooms. Best song on the record though. I love avant-garde stuff, but this just feels a a little dull. Lifeless. Ultimately it feels safe as far as pushing the boundaries. We’ve heard plenty of albums from around this time that do the quiet synth atmospheres and this mostly just buzzes next to those droning slogs, occasionally raising its hand meekly with a stab of jazz instrumentation or a decent track, only to retreat back into the doldrums of mediocre indie electronica. I like some of this and I hate some of this, but the rest of it was like painting your walls blue. Unconventional? Sure. Groundbreaking? Not in the slightest. I don’t hate this record, but I wanted to be challenged a bit more, or at least provided the fascinating fusions of Life in a Glasshouse. I guess I can just go listen to Neutral Milk Hotel for that. 2.5-3 HIGHLIGHTS: Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box, Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors, Life in a Glasshouse

Good study music

43 minutes of my life I will never get back. Hate to share publicly that this was an enjoyable listen. The tone of this album was fun and I won’t turn it off if it comes on.

Not my fave album of theirs, but still solid. I do always love "Knives Out" when I encounter it.

A bit hit and miss for me

much more instrumental/lofi than i was expecting, given my only exposure to them before was Creep

i like this. less likely to go back to than their others

This is perfectly fine but I am driven insane by the fact that I simply do not get the Radiohead hype. What am I missing?!?!

Not their best effort

all the songs sounded the same depressing

Wow a Radiohead album I don't hate. It made me realise it's that singing style he does where he sounds in pain and smug at the same time that rips my knitting. There was less of that on here.

Much better than I thought it was when released.

I should have given OK Computer a 4

This album has both some of the best songs I've heard by Radioheard and some of the worst. The tail end of this album especially is a massive fall off from the start.

I actually like this better than Kid A, but Radiohead is still more interested in amusing themselves than in entertaining the audience. This awkward middle part of Radiohead's discography is my least favourite part of their work.

Not sure why this isn’t Kid A I’m reviewing. This album isn’t bad but it sounds exactly like what it is, the leftovers from an all around better album. 3/ 5

= the Beatles The best Radiohead album yet

An album you can admire more than love

Oddly enough, this might be the album that broke me on Radiohead. It was genuinely pleasant to listen to, as it was largely in the background while I did work. That said, I might actually put this on again.

Musically really nice all the songs are interesting and never boring lots of exploration of blues and old timey jazz. But over all to mush of a downer to listen to in long spurts

I really wanted to like this. But I didn't. Maybe another listen would reveal musical depths I'm missing.

Medium-good Radiohead album. Very medium-good. UPDATE: project partner xilef couldn’t get the edit function to work so he sent me his review to add here: It's uh very like computery and autotuned in some songs and I like that but it's also like normal and that's what makes it good. I also really liked in the first song the drums. It's a good mixture of electronic and rock. And also the tiniest bit of pop. xilef's rating: 4 stars

Like a bevy of modern art, there’s merit here but it largely fails to connect with me. There are some intriguing soundscapes and motifs but they fail to build in to something bigger, even as it does strengthen in the second half. Unsurprisingly, the more traditional song/lyric combos were the strengths for me. Can’t appreciate the lyrics if you can’t understand them…however even when they are discernible they’re often repetitive past the point of effectiveness. Listened to: VT to NYC train. Favorite tracks: I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, Hunting Bears, Life in a Glasshouse

would prob be more enjoyable if I was high. A bit out there

It is an interesting album, but it’s just largely not that enjoyable on the whole. The musicianship is obviously top level, though there are not many songs that grab my attention. Highlights - I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, Pulk/Pull ⭐️⭐️⭐️

ничего не поняла но первую песню теперь узнаю. проект познания радиохед продолжится… позже

Their music is a bit more musically complex, avant garde and interesting than a lot of other rock. Unfortunately for me, Thom Yorke's voice is an annoying distraction.

Kind of odd stuff. Not bad but just not great.

Like Topographic Oceans era Yes - it's the tones man, not the tunes. A lot of neat sounds pumping through a set of headphones. Three stars for I Might Be Wrong. The rest - less impactful. At times - genius level distraction. But distraction nonetheless.

I enjoyed it, but in the most melancholy way you can enjoy something. I’ve always loved yorkes use of minimalism, and this is no exception, if in fact one of the best examples.

Close to a 4, but it's a very solid 3. Some great tunes but then a couple clunkers that bring it down.

This is honestly about the time I don’t care as much but Radiohead. The vocals are all incomprehensible moaning. The music is trying so hard to be Unique with weird time signatures. They are obviously good musicians but they start to lack any interesting melodies.

3,5

So dreary....

amazing bits & pieces. i might be wrong / knives out / life in a glasshouse elevate a weaker supporting cast!

First one - giving straight up 3 stars as a benchmark to the rest. This is about me, not Radiohead

Not bad, but not a huge fan either

it's slightly annoying me that at the moment my top artist on this website is Radiohead because i gave 5 stars to two of their albums so far (and i haven't even got to OK Computer yet). idk why it just feels really basic lol, like "who's your top artist on the 1001 albums generator website" "Radiohead" - idk it just bothers me, i thought i was cooler than that (i didn't think i was cooler than that). anyway, for some reason i'm really familiar with every Radiohead album APART from Amnesiac which i always just skipped over for no reason. i think there are some Obvious Bangers here but also a lot of stuff that is just OK.

Enjoyed this album more than I expected.. sonically there’s a lot of industrial vibes but not too abrasive to distract melodic nature of the songs. Think Gorillaz mixed with NIN

This is like if you went 1-5 in a baseball game but you hit one bloop single and struck out four times

This one was a little slow to be honest. Good music sound and the vocals and lyrics you would expect. But lacked a bit of energy and standout tracks.

A decent album with some industrial touches.

3.5

When I first started *Amnesiac*, I thought it was pretty much one of those albums that separates the real fans from the bandwagon fans. This is truly an album only an uber-Radiohead fan can love. But after reading the history of it I honestly believe that this is more of an album of what was left of the *Kid A* sessions. It feels like they released the more accessible material on that album, and left the more experimental tracks on this one. There are a few nuggets so the accessible line, like my favorite track "Dollars and Cents", as well as "I Might be Wrong" and "Knives Out" which I also liked. Most of this album, though, reminds me of what people say when they call them too bloopy. I did not dislike all of the experimental tracks on the album. One that really stood out to me was "Hunting Bears" with the guitar playing around the white noise swish. Still, all in all I think I found more material that I either didn't appreciate or didn't like.... but it has its moments (6.8) ★★★

"Pyramid Song" is my favourite Radiohead song, but I am not overly keen on the rest of this. 3.5 stars

Not the best of the band.

There's some good depressing songs and some mid depressing songs in here.

I’m not overly in to Radiohead so would have never listened to this album independently I must admit it surprised me. I enjoyed a few songs and the album as a whole didn’t grate on me as much as I thought it would

I like 5/11 songs. There was one song I think belongs in Sinners.

not my cup of tea

I mean I've listend to it some times back in my day when I was in the mood for Radiohead and was tired of all their albums. Like it's fine, some great stuff on here!

I went on a deep dive with Radiohead this year after them passing me by completely whilst growing up. I guess my music taste is probably subdued enough these days to appreciate them… This isn’t my favourite of theirs, but could see it growing on me with a few listens. Definitely has it’s moments, and they can’t be beaten for underlying textures and vibe. Knowing what else they’re capable of I think I’ll have to go middle of the road with this one.

I’ve started my Radiohead journey recently, beginning with The Bends. This album is quite the departure from The Bends, and while some songs I enjoy quite a bit, Amnesiac doesn’t quite resonate with me as much as some of their other albums I’ve listened to.

Ihan hyvä levy, ei selkeästi erottunut mitään yksittäistä biisiä, mutta toisaalta inspiroi kuuntelemaan tarkemmin Radioheadin muuta tuotantoa. 3/5.

I liked what I heard but it was a bit too slow/quiet for me to really enjoy. Best tracks were Knives Out and Life in a Glasshouse.

Probably a high 3 for me. I like it more than Hail to the Thief, but I know there are other Radiohead albums I like a lot more and this just doesn't feel as fresh and interesting as Kid A.

I liked the second half (I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, Life in a Glasshouse, Like Spinning Plates) way more than the first half, I think some of the songs would definitely grow on me if I listened more times. Vibes were depressing though, I felt like I was a brooding male protagonist in a film walking down a dark street contemplating a fatal mistake I had made :D

track 1: the buddhist temple esque bells creates an interesting contrasts against the synths. thom yorkes vocals are kinda muted and muffled here but it adds to the atmosphere the instrumentation evolves into something a little more experimental as the song progresses; i kinda like it track 2: it reminds me of another radiohead song but i cant put a name to it rn. the strings swelling in the outro is nice track 3: the drums reminds me of d&b track 4: my favourite song so far. its a prog rocky song; it starts with just guitar, then some vocal effect and eventually swells with keys and drums track 5: not feeling this one tbh track 6: not feeling this one either track 7: whered you park the car? track 8: these songs are starting to sound the same track 9: finally something different, interesting short instrumental songs with guitars and a synth? track 10: esoteric song i like it track 11: review: a bit too esoteric for me seems like music ppls listen to when on drugs

Good, but not my favorite era of Radiohead.

Not very good for a Radiohead album

I really like Radiohead’s other albums, particularly OK Computer and In Rainbows. However, I feel like this record is comparatively disappointing. The instrumentals are not as interesting as in its older brother Kid A. Some parts feel more so experimental than made to be good. Thom does not really go that far in his vocals, especially compared to other albums. However, when songs hit, they do heavily. Pyramid song is a masterpiece. Mid 3.

So I’ve only gotten The Bends and In Rainbows from Radiohead so far. Loved the former, thought the latter was ok. As someone hoping to get to the meat of Radiohead, you know, the shit everyone likes, I have a question: Is this really just Kid A’s rejects? I know that there’s someone out there waiting to go “Well, actually” to me, complete with the nerd glasses and all. But that’s really all I got from this. Just a lot of second hand stuff. It’s not bad second hand stuff, hell most of it is alright. But this feels a little forced to be on this list, unless it’s necessary for Kid A. If you can’t tell at this point, this list is my real first experience with Radiohead. Always heard about them, never really heard them. I’m starting to get a little weary that I think I might only like Radiohead’s early material, before a lot of the experimentation. Granted I still need to actually listen to the meat of Radiohead (if this generator will take a fucking break from the country kick it’s on), but after In Rainbows, I’m figuring out there’s a chance I don’t really care for Radiohead a lot. …or maybe this was just a collection of b-sides. Probably that. Favorite track: I Might Be Wrong Other hits: Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army?, Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors, Knives Out, Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box

I was not in the mood for this. A lot of varied sounds throughout, but a lot of it was in your face and came across more as noise.

Pues otro álbum más de Radiohead, no sé cuántos llevo ya. A este lo suelen llamar irónicamente "Kid B" por haber sido producido conjuntamente con Kid A (aunque lanzado un año más tarde) y que muchos consideran más débil que su predecesor, como si, de alguna manera, estuviera compuesto por descartes de aquel. Y la verdad es que ambos álbumes se parecen bastante. Los dos tienen ese sonido post-rock tan Radiohead de finales de los 90: un rock experimental con toques de electrónica, krautrock, música clásica y mucho más. Aunque este tira más hacia el jazz (sobre todo la percusión) y es algo más relajado que su predecesor. Me quedo con "Life in a Glasshouse", una colaboración de órdago con la banda de jazz de Humphrey Lyttelton. Un discazo, sí. Pero no le voy a dar mejor nota porque creo que ya hay demasiado Radiohead en esta lista y, de todos modos, prefiero el Kid A.

The first two tracks very much sound like leftover Kid A tracks. Not a big fan of Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors, not enough of a melody for me. I love the instrumentation on I Might Be Wrong. The fuzzy guitar, intriguing bass line, and especially the way the synth slowly takes it over.

hey im gonna blow yr fuckin mind: that's a book on the cover. people will get mad at you for calling this table scraps from Kid A but it's not like, wrong? i think at one point this was my least favorite Radiohead album other than Pablo Honey. i don't stand by that anymore though. i've learned to appreciate the weirdo aspects this album has as a metaphorical little brother with weird niche interests to Kid A. Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors is so underrated tbh, which i have a pass to say because i listen to a lot of electronic and i know good idm goddammit deserves to be one of the 1001? no. Radiohead has plenty.

boring

Dreary but ok. Some good tracks, some not so good. Standard Radiohead fare.

упоролись пацаны

Album 892, my sixth and final Radiohead album. I've enjoyed the five Radiohead albums I've reviewed so far, but The Bends has stood out as my clear favorite of the bunch. I gave it five stars, bought a copy of it on CD, and I listen to it pretty regularly. All their other albums got four stars from me; there's something about Radiohead's way of arranging their music that I find incredibly pleasant. I believe this might be their lowest rated album on this list, but I'm still looking forward to reviewing it. Ah, I can see why this is the lowest rated Radiohead album on this list. It’s fine, but it doesn’t really do anything to further bolster Radiohead’s reputation as one of the greatest bands of this century, and it also doesn’t do anything for influential or groundbreaking for popular music. Musically, it has some bursts of genius, and the songwriting is solid, but Amnesiac didn’t really create much of a spark with me. Even though I wasn’t wowed by Amnesiac, it did have some songs that I enjoyed. “Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box” had a sound that I really enjoyed, bolstered by the electronic pulsing, bass playing, and tinny percussion. “I Might Be Wrong” was my favorite song on the album. The opening guitar riff was fantastic, and the percussion gave it a fantastic punch. The song just kept getting better as it went on. “Knives Out” was really good too. I loved the tone of the guitar, and the soft cymbals sounded great. “Knives Out” had my favorite vocals on the album too. The rest of the album was fine, and I didn’t mind listening to it, but I just didn’t feel like Amnesiac really brought a lot to the table. Maybe I just have Radiohead fatigue.

Progressive, techy soundspace

Radiohead has a unique sounds that pulls me in for the first few songs, but gets tiring over a full album. My attention just isn't held by the airy vocals.

big 3

Gute Melodien, teilweise etwas whiny. Top produziert. Nach einer Weile aber etwas langatmig

Where does one track end and the other start? Unbelievably boring.

I mean, it's Radiohead, it's good, it's interesting, it's layered and intriguing... But I never put this one on, it's not got the songs I enjoy especially on it, it's got great atmosphere but it doesn't spark joy. I heard things this listen that I hadn't heard before and it's all good, but I just don't enjoy it compared to most of their other output.

kind of eerie

This is where Radiohead kind of go too far for me. I can’t deny the creativity but I’m more of a ‘The Bends’ / ‘OK Computer’ kind of guy. I like the hits even if Thom Yorke doesn’t! Still, there’s sonic beauty throughout this record.

I do like Radiohead, but this album is definitely a lot more experimental than earlier works

Not my favorite Radiohead

I like Radiohead in small doses, a whole album is just too much whine to digest at once.

See my other reviews of Radiohead. This is more of the same. To recap: Good high brow tracks but Yorke’s vocals get annoying.

It's fine but not my thing. Thom Yorke's voice is still weird.

I always liked the idea of Radiohead more than I actually listened to their music. And they're kinda intimidating. Yes, they make music. But.. you know, music nerds' music. But I liked this.

This was a suprise - I wasn't expecting an almost ambient album. Again I started with not really enjoying this but came around by the end of the album.

I am putting this at a four as I enjoyed it without ever really getting hooked. I do plan to return to this though and I feel like it's an album that is likely to grow on me more over time.

alright!

Amnesiac – Radiohead (2001) | Experimental Rock / Art Rock | Avg: 6.7 | Favorite Song: “Knives Out”* Amnesiac is one of those albums that feels like it’s constantly drifting in and out of clarity—beautiful in moments, but frustratingly elusive overall. “Knives Out” is the one track that gave me something to hold onto: a clear groove, memorable melody, and emotional resonance that cuts through the fog. A few other songs—like “Pyramid Song” and “You and Whose Army?”—show flashes of brilliance, but much of the album stays wrapped in abstraction. The textures are rich, but the emotional payoff isn’t always there. It’s not that Amnesiac lacks ideas—it’s overflowing with them—but too many of those ideas feel like sketches rather than complete thoughts. Compared to the tight emotional arc of Kid A, this one feels more like a companion piece with a looser grip on cohesion. That said, I get why some people revere it. There’s a cold beauty in its disorientation. But from my perspective, it’s Radiohead at their most cryptic—an album I respect more than I actually enjoy.

Good

A really good mostly slow rock album. A bit to subdued for my everyday taste but definitely something I could see myself listening to whilst reading or doing stuff around the house.

Never heard anything by Radiohead besides Creep. They’re good, but not amazing, if this album is anything to go by.

Nothing great

I was ignorant of Radiohead

I've only ever listened to Radio Head in the post album format, but as a full album it is very powerful. Atmospheric and moody. The Pyramid being well set up as a second song and gaining power in the transition from, "Packt Like Sardines....", and then sliding into a more electronically focused, staccato, revolving doors. There is beauty here, sad beauty with a silver lining of hope. The time flew quickly while listening. But I am not drawn back for another listen.

No need for deep cut Radiohead when we already have several better albums by them on the list. It was fine but nothing stood out.

I guess I just don’t appreciate Radiohead. I don’t see why critics love them so much. Perhaps I’m not sophisticated enough but like most of their music I’ve heard I think this is highly esoteric and self indulgent. I don’t hate it but I don’t really like it very much.

It seems like this album is just leftovers from the Kid A sessions? That sounds right to me. This was definitely the weakest Radiohead album we've heard so far and while it does have a cool overall vibe, I was not as wowed by it as the other albums. Still their worst is better than most bands' best so it gets the 3.

There are some great songs on this album, Pyramid Song is one of Radiohead's best IMO. But a lot of it is also just a bit "whatever" or even downright feels like a joke... I'm looking at you, "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors"...

Dystopian dark moody noise

Ok

Solid throughout, but nothing grabbed me.

Good album

From an atmospheric standpoint, I really enjoyed this. Another listen might improve the score, but overall, still, a quality album!

Lots of interesting songs, not my favorite but I don't hate it. I wish it were heavier.

Not a bad album but doesn't quite reach the heights of some other Radiohead albums. Thom's ghoulish whaling gets a bit tedious towards the end of the album. 5.5/10 (2.75/5)

Algún día veré en Radiohead lo que la gente ve. Hoy no es ese día.

Not bad at all, just a bit boring. I know Radiohead can do better.

I can see why people like them but not for me

A band trying to find something new but still not quite there yet but its still good because its radiohead

I think raidohead are at their best when not going fully electronic and overlaying live instruments. Think this album bears this out, the best songs are less electronic. Not their best overall but still decent 3.5*

Zanimljiv, anksiozan, vanzemaljski album. Elementi pravih instrumenata sa digitalnim se lijepo ispreplicu. Thom nekad stenje previse po mom ukusu i nekad su stvarno preapstraktni. Bubnjevi i bas gitara super hipnoticni u dosta pjesama. Top 3 pjesme: I might be wrong Life in a glasshouse Pyramid song/you and whose army 3.5/5

Liked it ok.

oh yeah? you and whose army?!

Such a melancholy album. What was their headspace like at the time? Cross between 40s band and Billy Corgan

Only strengthens my belief that Radiohead is one of the most overrated bands ever.

Favorite song: We ride tonight.

Not bad but not their best

I just can't get myself to enjoy Radiohead. It isn't that it isn't good but I can't fall into an album. I literally can't enjoy it. Individual moments sure. I think that's a me thing. It's a fine album.

Not their best but that’s still damn good

So this was an interesting album. I’m very much a surface level Radiohead fan so I was excited to learn alittle more, especially cause I never would’ve picked this album from the bunch cause the cover artwork is underwhelming. But I think it starts great. The first two tracks are great, and I really enjoy where those two songs go. But I kinda lost interest in the milk of the middle of the album. It was all alittle to subtle and quiet and slow for me. But the good news is that my favorite two tracks on the album are the last two. So the album saved face at the end. Both of those songs are kind of what I want more out of Radiohead, which is sort of mildly silly songs that are just kinda fun. Like both of those last two tracks feel so far from what I think of when I think of Radiohead. Overall though I did enjoy this album even if the middle and bulk of the album wasn’t my favorite of their material.

Not a bad album, but like it's name, not a memorable one. Some interesting things were going on, but nothing that really piqued my interest beyond going "huh, cool". Not enough for me to add to any of my playlists. 3/5

Good stuff. A bit to emo for my taste.

I’ve never been able to separate this from the much superior effort of Kid A. It really does seem like the outtakes and their messing around in the studio and then just decided to release it. That said, Radiohead’s outtakes are better than most band’s work, so still a worthwhile listen. 3⭐️

- kam nicht ganz an die Alben ran, die bisher von Radiohead dran waren, aber insgesamt war es meist entspannt und unterhaltend

Four Radiohead albums and counting. I am not surprised. Not bad for a post-OK Computer album, but still doesn't touch the greatness of the early stuff in my opinion. Some songs try, however.

Un clásico, pero prefiero OK Computer

aparentemente, era o kid A era pra ser um album duplo mas "acharam denso demais" e dividiram em dois. PEIDADOS. no mais sei lá né. não foi necessariamente ruim. mas ainda nao me pegou, acho pretensioso demais mas essa life in a glasshouse eh boa mesmo, nem a voz de gripado do mano conseguiu zoar essa. parabens ai

Very rough, but also some gems in there.

I understand the love for Radiohead and really want to like them but I always struggle to enjoy their albums. It’s not bad but it reminds me of music a 12 year old wannabe edgelord would layer over anime clips from Cartoon Network.

Not as good as OK Computer. I did enjoy some tracks like You and Whose Army? and Knives Out.

I got a Radiohead album just a few days prior to this. While I still wasn't a tremendous fan of this one (as I also wasn't with the first one I listened to), I did feel like this album gave me more insight at the type of band Radiohead is. I felt like this was a pretty good package for them, and the musicianship was, of course, great. This would've been a little bit better for me had the two Pulk songs not been in there. Otherwise, this got me just a tad more interested in Radiohead. It wasn't bad.

A few good classic radiohead songs, a few I don't care for, and a few kid a leftovers

3 out of 5. Never heard of this album before. Some good little melodies and can hear the Boards of Canada influence but nothing grabbed me.

Trippy with nostalgia hits.

Very Deftones, but nothing really stood out

Cover: 5 Can easily fall asleep to this. They're all ok. Nothing stands out to me, not on first listen.

There's some Radiohead that hits for me and some that doesn't. This album is a mixture of both.

Pretty good Radiohead album, same ole depressing "we live in a society" sounds but with horns at points. 3 FYI I am a Radiohead fan, just more of a Ok Computer/ The Bends guy.

Some songs are better then others, but overall a nice album!

Radiohead is for me a difficult band. On the one side you have wonderful, great, magnificent songs like Creep and Karma Police. But on the other side albums like this one, which is ok but far away from the heights of the songs mentioned. I really like Knives Out and Life In a Glasshouse. But the rest did not impress me.

Too weird to listen to on its own but he perfect amount of weird to listen to while working on art projects. 🎨

A decent follow up to Kid A. Not as gopd though

Standout Songs: Pyramid Song Knives Out Life in a Glasshouse

I like the few Radiohead songs I've heard before, but never listened to their full albums really, besides Pablo Honey. But this album is really varied and interesting. A bit experimental, but sound is really unique and varied. Falls off in the second half.

Great band I struggle to follow them on all of the journeys this isn’t a favorite

Wow, way much better than expected!

Yawn. The way that some people feel about emo vocals is how I feel about Thom Yorke’s vocals. Nails on a chalkboard.

Not bad, not good.

I don't know if I can do a second day of Radiohead in a row. Ok so I made it to the next day without listening to it because I really didn't want to. I decided to just give it a little listen because the point is that i listen to it all, and I found it considerably better than the Kid A. This one has a lot more going on, and I somewhat enjoyed knives out. I still generally didn't enjoy whatever artistic intention he had with the dissonance/avant-garde style and god did I get annoyed with hearing his voice. 7/10

Was aight, some real good moments but overall just aight

Pretty good album.

Some standouts but not something I'd regularly listen to. Very slow and angsty.

*Amnesiac* is the sound of Radiohead trying hard to not repeat itself in the wake of *OK Computer*. This album turns the band's sound inside-out, empasizing what used to lurk in the background and eschewing many of the elements that made up their mid-to-late 90's sound. The aim of this album seems to be to use the most minimal amount of instrumention as possible and yet be able to convey some sort of emotion or feeling. The vocal melodies are less conventional also, almost as though singer Thom Yorke is using his voice for texture rather than serving as the focal point of the songs. The results, however, are often more admirable than enjoyable. The album as a whole conjures up an atmosphere of mental dislocation, but because the individual *songs* are so skeletal, not many of them have a strong emotional impact when taken on their own. Only the more fleshed-out songs (such as "Pyramid Song", "You And Whose Army?" and "Knives Out") come close to having some distinct emotional punch.

Huh, who thought Radiohead could be decent. ⭐⭐⭐

I can tell this is a great album that I should sit with and break down but it doesn't sound good enough to do that

Good. Radiohead good, which is to say, they do it all very well, but it doesn’t move me

Obsessed with the first song's title alone, but really cool song too. Pyramid Song is great. Didn't like Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors. You And Whose Army? is alright. I Might Be Wrong - cool riff to this one. Cool unexpected chord progressions in Knives Out. Morning Bell/Amnesia - love the unexpected major chords breaking up the minor ones. Dollars and Cents - reminded me a bit of Pale Green Ghosts by John Grant, but in general I found it more unsettling than enjoyable - instead of being both. Hunting Bears - nondescript enough. Like Spinning Plates - same. Life In a Glasshouse - love the old-timey drum and brass in it - reminded me of the unexpected old-fashioned sweetness of 'Good Night' from the White Album. No a fan of the song itself though.

Et av de svakeste albumene til Radiohead

Haven't ever properly gotten into Radiohead to understand their hype. Wasn't blown away by this but would like to listen to more

Not their best but still enjoyed it.

I liked 2 songs (Knives out, Life in a glasshouse), the rest is experimetal soundscapes that for some might work but not for me much. Still better effort than some other bands. 2 and 1/2 stars (rounded up)

It’s just too ethereal and too much electronica for me. Some good songs, but tough to sit through at times.

Fine, I guess.

If you appreciated "Kid A", you are likely to enjoy "Amnesiac". Similar to my review of "Kid A", "Amnesiac" features subtle and complex instrumentation, with numerous tracks lacking traditional hooks or ABABCB structure, focusing instead on the exploration of sound and musical composition. While both albums can be viewed as related, "Amnesiac" distinguishes itself with more mainstream-friendly melodies, reduced electronic elements, and a lesser degree of dissonance. "Amnesiac" is also not as demanding to listen to, although I question whether my perspective would be the same had I not spent time listening to "Kid A" first. While both albums are strong, "Amnesiac" surpasses "Kid A" in terms of quality and accessibility, though they both may not appeal to everyone. A better introduction to Radiohead would be "The Bends", which is arguably their finest work.

Pyramid Song is a personal favourite from Radiohead, it has Everything In Its Right Place vibes. You and Whose Army? is another track that sticks with me. As an album, I would happily put it on, but those two tracks are what I would go back to most.

Bit too pretentious for me

Largely forgettable, with a few standout tracks. Feels like a collection of throwaways from Kid A that didn't make it. On the whole, it's just decent.

Ooft

good

Definitely Radiohead's most inconsistent album, but the best moments still make it worth your time overall. This has some of their weirdest and most out there moments, and I think that's what overall makes it one of their lesser albums, with those moments not really fitting in all that well, and some even being a bit too experimental and sounding weird alongside the much more tame songs. But at the end of the day it's still a Radiohead album, it still has Thom Yorke's amazing voice, and it still has Pyramid Song which is easily an all time favourite Radiohead song for me.

Obv not their best but still got some tunes

Lite väl mycket gnäll för mig, men några låtar som håller

Done

Honestly - not sure. Radiohead are great and all, but a lot of the songs in this felt a bit too experimental at times. I can feel some of the tones that come out of this, especially a twist of Jazz: Life in a Greenhouse in particular. I’m sure Kid A overshadowed this album, released a year earlier. Down the middle(ish), 5.8/10.

Trying to be unbiased here because I love Radiohead, but it's safe to say, this is not their strongest release. It has a strong middle segment with You And Whose Army?, I Might Be Wrong, and Knives Out, but the rest is just a bit... wailing and nothingy.

I really adore Kid A, this feels like the leftover tracks from that record that really didn't need to be released on an album, maybe just release each Kid A track with a B-side? Still better than most albums on this list but not Radiohead's best work.

came into this with the thought of my radiohead fans that this isn't a good album, and whilst yeah, pulk / pull revolving doors is on there... there are a bunch of cool tracks on there. interesting album inbetween some greats.

Honestly, the way that Yorke sings and the music that is played behind it fit well. Just a bit of an atmospheric sound that floats around in your mind. Not a bad album, but some of Radiohead's other, more grounded albums are better than this.

First two tracks were chill vibes, third track is crunchy. Second to last was backwards. Ended with some good horns and vocals. Overall very flowy album, probably wouldn't listen to it again.

Not my fav Radoohead album but better than others I've heard on this list..

This is a good follow up to Kid A, but lacks the same tight direction of previous and subsequent albums. It feels a bit cobbled together with some bright spots. Solid Radiohead album, but not up to their usual standards.

Meh

За ранее говорю что я не фанат Радиохед и альт рока в целом, мне нравиться другая музыка, так что если что-то оценил "не так" то скорее всего я не выкупил эту песню, но постараюсь быть объективен Первая песня (Packt Like...) вроде бы интересная но не моё (6/10) Вторая песня (Pyramid Song) более цепляющая (7/10) Третья песня (Pulk/Pull Revoling Doors) вообще что-то странное (2/10) Четр Четвертая песня (You And Whose Army?) вроде интереснее чем предыдущая но не моё (7/10) Пятая песня (I Might Be Wrong) пока что моя лучшая песня из этого альбома (Концовка мне чем то напомнили Серегу Пирата лол) (7/10) Шестая песня (Knives Out) шикарная, очень приятная акустика и вокал, это песня переплюнула предыдущую, мне кажется что это будет лучшая песня этого альбома (8/10) Седьмая песня (Morning Bell/Amnesiac) по идее должна быть худшей песней этого альбома, но она мне даже немного понравилась (6/10) Восьмая песня (Dollard and Cents) лучше чем третья и на этом можно закончить, в моменте мне даже хотелось скипнуть эту песню (3/10) Девятая песня (Hunting Bears) по идее должна быть интерлюдией? если да то пойдёт (5/10) Десятая песня (Like a Spinning Plates) это не музыка, это набор звуков, но с появлением вокала стало лучше (2/10) И последняя песня (Life in a Glass House) после трёх предыдущих песен это как глоток чистого воздуха, хотя этот свист немного подбешивает (6/10) В целом альбом нормальный но повторюсь, я не фанат такой музыки, мне понравилось всего 3 песни, общая оценка альбома (6/10)

Solid outing but not my favorite radiohead album. Listenable though and better than initially gave it credit for upon this revisit

Mñeh.

Came on a day when I was viciously defending Radiohead to a person that slighted their fanbase. That being said, some of their stuff is wildly out there and very dissonant. Good album, but not In Rainbows. 5/10

Calm, different. Probably not something I’d listen to a lot

Liked it better than I though I would.

Amnesiac is the fourth Radiohead album I’ve listened too and it’s the worst so far. It wasn’t that bad but there’s nothing that blows my mind just good songs ig. Radiohead trying to be experimental again with the mix of electronic, rock and even jazz made some rly good songs and some pretty mid ones too. Overrall it was pretty good but nothing crazy so a solid 7.6/10 3.8/5

tbh I had no idea that Radiohead sounded like this

meow really good

You And Who’s Army is one of my favourite Radiohead songs but overall not my favourite Radiohead album. Kudos for continually evolving though.

Very esoteric. Kinda boring. Typical Radiohead. Morning Bell sounded better in 5/4. Life In a Glasshouse is probably my favourite but that’s due to Jazz elements.

Can appreciate the complexity of the arrangements but his voice just depresses me in a way that I don’t want to be.

This is my first Radiohead album from this list but I'm guessing there's a good 3-5 Radiohead albums in total just based on how biased this list has been so far towards angsty white boy rock. (I just checked and there are SIX radiohead albums on this list.) I do not need to hear this much radiohead before I die, there is so much variety out there. This list is crap. I do like the arrangement of strings and almost jazz-like percussion in Pyramid song. Pulk/pull Revolving Doors has some cool synthd sounds on it but I've been spoiled by the variety of other experimental synth bands out there and this is boring by comparison. You and Whose Army as well as Life in a Glasshouse are both shadows of Neutral Milk Hotel (who somehow did not make it to this 1001 list, despite their massive influence on indie sound as a whole, and clearly Radiohead). with all the love in the world Thom Yorke sounds the same on every track (including in his Smile stuff). I actually really like the chord progression in it but Morning Bell/Amnesiac sounds like a dozen other Radiohead songs, so I skipped it halfway through. Love the synth on Spinning Plates. Overall this album did stand out in a small but importnat (for me) way from other Radiohead albums - the percussion had lots of clear jazz influences. Would love to see the band pull more on that thread. Also even though they are playing from the Neutral Milk Hotel fake book, I do love that NMH sound so I enjoyed those bits of dissonant horns and wailing crackly half step melodies on this album. Yes I'm being harder on radiohead than I am for other bands on this list, because if you're going to take up 6/1001 spaces, you'd better deserve it. Queen is arguably both more influential and musically far superior and interesting, and they only have 3 albums on the list. Not impressed, Radiohead.

Sorry I didn’t love this more, Joe!

Not the biggest Radiohead fan, particularly privvy only to The Bends. But, Thom and the boys seem to capture the mental anguish and deterioration of a person in a semi permenant state of amnesia. Dulcet, confusing, abstract, abrupt, and haunting. Again as a typical hater of this band, there's not much for me here. But artistically and from a critical listening perspective this album is a good one.

As usual, it seems like Radiohead recycles all of the avant-garde music ideas of the past to put together really discombobulating records with not so many memorable moments. Nevertheless, I must highlight the melancholy 'Pyramid Song' for praise—this song has the grand air of a great jazz ballad, and its intriguing time-signature shifts always tickle my interest.

I expected more from Radiohead, given their reputation. Just a whole lot of mid

Jaha, ja, nej. Denna skiva var inte lika bra. Den första låten är rätt skön men sen vette fasen. Det är lite intressant, men det är lite för experimentellt. Känner 0 behov att lyssna mer.

Njae, det här är ingen av deras bättre skivor. Finns ett par bra låtar men också flera bottennapp. Lite väl gnälligt och gnyende också, även för att vara dem.

3* 76%

Another Radiohead? Alright that's fine. This one I actually listened to a lot at the time (I have vivid memories of listening to it while playing way too much Civ III when I should have been doing high school homework). Not one I come back to all that often anymore though; it really does come off as a bunch of leftovers from the Kid A sessions which I believe it more or less is. Funny thing is that I didn't really listen to Kid A until years later, go figure. Still like that one better though this is just fine though a bit uneven.

Yeah, that’s Radiohead alright. Think I liked this one a little less than the others I’ve heard.

Not their best

Not their best album in my opinion, still very good though.

I enjoyed this. It was much better than the previous ones I listened to here.

If I have a choice it will almost always be Kid A over Amnesiac. Upon listening again it is still interesting a very brave album.

This is an interesting record in Radioheads discography. As a big Radiohead fan I must say I think it's mostly lovely. Not as good as the ones that came before and after it, but unique nonetheless. I enjoy the jazz esthetics that shine now and then, and thom adds some great moments to the incredible Radiohead songbook. 2, 4 6, 8, 11 are among the highlights.

Not my favorite album by Radiohead

Always love some Radiohead.

A bit too meandering but has some good rock moments

I think the members of this band are true artists and possibly geniuses. That said, I can’t imagine what state of mind I would have to be in to willingly put this album on.

yep

první celý album co poslouchám od radiohead

Meglio di altri dai.

I liked pyramid song and thought that was really unique but I still don’t understand the rest of their songs!

Why is there so much Radiohead on this list? This album is better than the others so far but it’s still pretentious.

The vibe of this one was like negative..

weird but good, but not something i would go back to very often

The Bends is a better album

I liked 3 or 4 tracks, but the rest weren't really my style. I've liked radiohead from before but this also gave me an insight into their other music. I'll definitely listen to a few of the tracks again.

Some moments I really loved and some moments I could not stand.

Not my favorite Radiohead album, but some good stuff on it.

Есть музыка для лёгкой грусти, есть для печали, есть для депрессии, и есть Radiohead. Это такой звуковой эквивалент эмоционального вакуума. Как если бы на вас напал дементор, высосал бы из вас душу вместе со всеми эмоциями, а потом появился второй и сделал бы то же самое. Мне сложно назвать это музыкой. Это саундтрек к кошмару от которого не можешь проснуться. Погружение в бездну нечеловеческого подсознательного, где каждый трек, как новый круг ада. Том Йорк, конечно, гений, тут стоит отдать ему должное. Создать и воплотить в звуке такую удушающую атмосферу тотального одиночества — это нужно постараться! В общем, если вам нужно музыкальное сопровождение для таких моментов, когда даже глубочайшая депрессия кажется слишком поверхностным состоянием, то этот альбом точно вам подойдёт. Хотя в таком случае я бы всё же рекомендовал как можно скорее обратиться за помощью к специалистам.

Not bad, but nowhere near their best work. Thom got too caught up in making interesting sounds that it seems he forgot to make art that audiences could connect with. My girlfriend said that to me and I 100% agree. It’s still experimental like all of their work is, but this time way more alienating to the listener. Very little to latch on to. Wasn’t a chore to listen to though, so maybe someday I’ll try again. 3/5

Not one of my favorites by them. But still a classic.

the title is very appropriate since it made me forget that i mostly like radiohead

Probably the worst radiohead album ive listened to (not listened to king of limbs). Doesn't mean its bad but I think the rock ish songs which could be on hail to the thief are the best ones, and the kid A electronic ones are all a bit bad. Favourite songs: Pyramid song, Pulk/pull revolving doors, You and whose army?, knives out. Overall around 6/10

Sleepy.

There was probably a time when I would have enjoyed Radiohead more

Tbh this album felt like I was being edged by the intro of a Linkin Park Song. I wasn’t mad about it, until he started saying “cut the kids in half.” Not as much of a downer as I thought it would be though.

A few I really liked in here but probably wont be on super high rotation!

I had never heard this album and was surprised by the tone of the whole thing. I need more time with it to let it reveal itself but I’ll give it a 3 with the understanding that it could be a 5 within a couple of months.

I can't seem to get into Radiohead I don't understand them to me they sound pretentious there's some good tracks off of this but nothing that wowed me I must have missed the era or I must be missing something for them to be so generally liked

I've turned a corner on Radiohead since starting listening to albums off this list - and I can appreciate the dark moody electronica being presented here despite Thom Yorke's whiny vocals over it. Definitely not the highest rating I'll give to their work, but there's definitely some high points here. ALSO, having listened to Pull/Pull for the first time here, how on earth was that considered a viable single to release??

Not my favorite radiohead album

This, like much of their output, is not immediately accessible. There is plenty in there but I doubt that I want to invest the time to unlock the mysteries. Middling as it will stand, not rubbish but also far from outstanding.

Sometimes hard to listen to, sometimes nostalgia for a more emotional time.

Verrryy vibey radiohead record with a lot of good songs and also a lot of random shenanigans. Loved the atmosphere though and how the songs varied Fav Songs: I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out

I like Radiohead, mostly 90s stuff. I didn't really know this album. Nothing stood out too much, a bit samey.

Good album. Doesnt hit me like the rest of Radiohead's discography, but thats not saying much. Best 3/5 you'll ever listen to.

I don't buy that they "planned" two albums worth of material in the Kid A sessions. These songs did not make the cut for Kid A and that is how they sound. Same atmosphere, no substance. After "OK Computer" and "Kid A", they knew we'd buy anything. Doesn't belong on this list, but also not the worst thing on this list!

never been a fan of radiohead. bro moans too much

cool

Not really my bag. Kind of made me anxious. 3.5 stars

No denying the technical prowess and wide array of instruments used in this one. His voice is better in this one than most others, but still a bit whiny. Overall I think Radiohead is "good", I just don't think it's my personal jam.

Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box 2.8 Pyramid Song 3.2 Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors 2.4 You and Whoose Army? 3.1 I Might Be Wrong 3 Knives Out 3.4 Morning Bell/Amnesiac 3 Dollars and Cents 3.3 Hunting Bears 3 Like Spinning Plates 2.6 Life in a Glasshouse 3 Score: 2.981818182

I wanted to like this but the first couple of songs weren't for me. It started getting good from "You and Whose Army?" but not great. The album overall felt incomplete. I think a couple of songs will grow on me with time.

It seems I remembered this more fondly than I actually appreciated it. I thought I liked it a lot but now it just feels like the leftovers of Kid A. Maybe I did actually like it more a couple of years ago but then again the fact that I didn't relisten to it a lot or often is probably indicative of my never being fully taken with it. Packt (opening track), You and Whose Army?, I Might Be Wrong and Life In a Glasshouse are all great, but the rest I pretty much could do without. (Pyramid Song and Knives Out are also decent, but just sound so generically Radioheady.)

Tienen mejores 3.5/5

Probably a bit generous

All over the place Radiohead times. Somber, catchy, weird, etc.

Mostly boring but just quirky enough to be fun. Amazed at their popularity

Okayish

Lite för lungt för min del, kan förstå att folk gillar det

Kind of forgettable

messy

No question a disappointing follow up to Kid A. Leans too much into the industrial/outer space beep boops but it has its moments (not coincidentally it’s when they play their instruments)

not my fave album of theirs but i always appreciate the effort

There was another Radiohead album? One of them must have been removed since I thought they were only 4. Anyway my stance on Radiohead hasn't changed since I began this: they are boring and uninteresting. This album was fine. It's okay. Nothing special. Kinda dull. At least it was a smidge over 40 minutes which is a plus.

Actually liked it. Pretty indie imo

Whiny and melodramatic. I can't say I disliked it, but its definitely an album that confirms to me that Radiohead is overrated.

Some good tracks (opener Packt, plus mid-list tracks I might be wrong and Knives out, are the standouts) but overall meh. Not their most captivating or innovative

Not my favorite radiohead album, but knives out and like spinning plates are great songs

2.5 radiohead is so boring

While I do appreciate Radiohead being experimental, this album did not resonate. Maybe I just feel like this was not genre or era defining , nor is it significant from an artist perspective. Just a 3 for me...

Decent, there’s better Radiohead in my opinion.

As with most Radiohead music, I like pretty much everything except the vocals. 3 stars (4 stars, minus one for the vocals)

a tad bit mid, but just not my type of music again.

First listen. Quite good.

I love Radiohead, but I'm also willing to admit that not everything by them needs to be on this list and Amnesiac would be example number one of my argument. A begrudging 3/5

Interesting album, Might have to give a few more listens.

My favourite songs were Pyramid Song, Knives Out & Dollars and Cents. I didn't really get into Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors. I couldn't understand what Thom York was singing on You And Whose Army & I Might Be Wrong. I don't generally find lyrics super important, but I feel it may have helped here. Life In a Glasshouse has a weird vibe.
