Radiohead- Amnesiac
Bought this album from Music Dog For £12 back in June 2004. When I listened to it the first several hundred times I thought 'wtf.' The track which goes 'come come on if you think your hard enough,' the first minute of that song struck me how over inflated the ego of this band had was. The music is very inaccessible and way to leftfield to pick up on. The majority of people don't want to listen to anything that is dark to the nth degree (which is why alot of the top 40 goth band come out of Kerrang magazine) Just sounded like failed Indie formula number 5 to me (cause all the indie kids will strongly disagree with you).Read full review...
Amnesiac - Radiohead
How do you review an album like this?
First of all the track Pyramid Song I usually put on the jukebox - (It actually does not get switched off by the landlord/landlady/staff) - as it is the only Radiohead song on the Jukebox - Extremely melodic/mournful and wonderful.
I had not heard any of the other tracks before, but my favourite on two listenings is ... The final track : Life in a glasshouse.
This has a great jazzy feel to it and brings a difficult album to an end.
Radiohead are invariably a complicated band to sum up (other than depressing etc.etc.), but in general I find them uplifting!Perhaps that's just me.
Maybe this album will turn out to be a grower.I hope so.
Perhaps I will update this review if I this is the case.

The same but more so
More terrifying stream of conciousness music from Radiohead. Immediately easier to listen to than either Hail to the Thief or Amnesiac despite more ominous undertones in places. Perhaps this impression will fade with familiarity as I remember being similarly surprised on listening to Kid A. If you are into Radiohead then you will enjoy this album.Read full review...
Kid A / Amnesiac
Recorded along side and beautifully complementing Kid A. There is a similar feel but somewhat more erratic and spontaneous. As with all radiohead albums I recommend listening to the entire album a few times. At the end you will either love or hate. I am glad I took the time to listen. This is nothing like the Bends or OK Computer but that does not mean that you cannot appreciate both on their merits. Pyramid song is a great 7/4 timed chiller and is very atmospheric.Read full review...
Radiohead did it again
An amazing album, a fine piece and example of musical artistry, very ambient album, nice to listen to when waking up, melancholic but very very enjoyable. An amazing addition to my collection of Radiohead CDs.Read full review...
