Ok, to coincide with my Kid A thread, here is an amnesiac one... now this album is definitely not as good as Kid A... far from it... but it has some killer songs on it... Kid A works much better as a whole, and the individual songs on Kid A are better too I think, but still Amnesiac has some good ones... namely the first half... Up to and including Knives Out... Like Spinning Plates is nice too, but the rest of the second half is pretty mediocre imo... especially the crap version of morning bell... favorite songs: Packt Like Sardines..., Pyramid Song, Pulk/Pull Revoling Doors, I Might be Wrong |

You missed 'you and whose army'.... or did you ? anyways...I LOVE that song. too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nod, I enjoy that one... the others tracks I listed as my favorites I enjoy more... wanted to keep my favorites list compressed... :) like I said, I really enjoy all of the songs up to and including Knives Out... |

Personally i prefer amnesiac over kid a. It took me a fairly long time to understand the album though... at first i thought it was just okay, but a little messy and incoherent. But as i kept listening to it, it certainly grew on me... alot. Nowadays i don't find the album incoherent at all anymore. It works brilliantly as a whole album, and to my ears all the songs fit together perfectly. The highlight of the album for me is infact Morning Bell/Amnesiac :-p What don't you like about it then funkmaster? It's completely different than the Kid A-version. The amnesiac-version sounds haunting and very intimate. Much warmer and more personal than on Kid A. "Up to and including Knives Out... " Another one of my favourites... The 2nd half is easily as good as the 1st imo. Especially Life In A Glass House has to be mentioned... i just love the sound of that trumpet... and the way Thom sings those lyrics so... so... nonchalant (is that english?). Great album-closer! |

I can't wait for Hail to the Thief... it had better be good... I've only heard There There... |

what don't I love about Morning Bell from Amnesiac? Well, it just sounds crap to me... like the sounds don't fit together well, and I don't know, it just doesn't work for me... I'd say it's probably my LEAST favorite radiohead track from any of their albums... I just hate it! |
||||||||

|

it will be good, but i hope everryone hates it. |

Maybe it's because you already heard the other version so much... and all the differences between the two versions make it sound 'wrong' to you. Or to put it another way: you might have enjoyed it more if they released this before the Kid A version. I like how Thom Yorke described it as a "recurring dream". He's so right! It sounds exactly like that. Like you dreamt about the song, and as you are waking up you can only recall broken fragments. |

I'm going to try and buy all the single releases with this album too... try to collect them all... and also whatever other singles of theirs I can find... I want it all!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
nod, you're probably right... Morning Bell is supposed to sound like Kid A in my mind, not the version on Amnesiac... |

So, do you all think HTTT will already be on sale tomorrow? I know it's supposed to come out on monday... but i bought almost every cd that was supposed to be released on a monday, on the friday before that. But then, since the stores are closed on this monday, it's technically coming out on tuesday... which might mean they won't have it yet tomorrow :-( |

I'm not crazy about this album, it let me down after Kid A... it was far too hyped and couldn't possibly live up to it anyway. I haven't listened to it in an eternity and I don't want to. A lot of weak tracks... I remember the third track making my eardrums hate me. However, Pyramid Song is one of the best track I've ever heard, ever. I also love Knives Out, and I remember hearing slower, sparer live versions before Amnesiac came out that were pretty good too. |

man you HAVE to go back to it. thats what i did, and now i have a verry high opinion of it. not Kid A, fairr enough, but therre arre some grreat songs that should not be overrlooked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I'll put it on later... it does have some underrated tracks. ''You and Whose Army?'' is damn good, not as gimmicky as a lot of songs on there. Sounds imcomplete though... it's lacking something. Dollars and Cents is pretty awesome though, great percussion and bass playing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

First 6 tracks. Enough said. |
||||||||
|
|

it is lacking something, and thats why as an album its harrd to like. (orr like as much) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
like spinning plates is grreat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I knew someone would say that. Well I didn't but I knew it was likely. Like Spinning Plates is nice but, after enduring Morning Bell/Amnesiac, Dollars and Cents and Hunting Bears I'm not really very interested. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i like spinning plates in reverse: i will. |

Morning Bell/Amnesiac, Dollars and Cents ARRE GRREAT |

"So, do you all think HTTT will already be on sale tomorrow?" Ah yes! It was! I just came back from the store, where i bought HTTT + there there-single. Am now listening to it for the first time. Boy this album is alot more accesable than the last 3! (first 4 tracks anyway). I'm already liking it alot. Sounds more or less like the next logical step forward from Amnesiac to me. The artwork is really strange though... (bought the special edition). I must admit it really does look like a roadmap. Right down to the crap typography and the ugly borders around each picture. I can't say i really like it though. I would have made that map alot more detailed.... as it is, it looks like a small map blown up to gigantic proportions. Hm... i was just expecting more i guess. The music's still great though. Whoever said it sounded a little bit like Pearl Jam (jarworski?) was right! I mean it doesn't really sound like PJ, but i can hear the similarities in the sound of the guitars and the way the songs are built. |

"its meant to thats what it is" Yes i know. I realise, and that's why i said i had to admit it. Like: "it looks pretty crap, but i must admit it does look like a roadmap." Still, it would have been SO much better if the actual roadmap (the fold-out picture) would have been a little more interesting and detailed. Like the picture on the front. Only 20 times bigger, with 20 times more colored squares with words in them... really something to study... ah well... I really love the music though! Oh my god, just now i was listening to myxomatosis... what the hell is going on in that song? I love it! :-) |

"Yes i know. I realise" WOAH cowboy hold the rreins, i was only saying, don't bite my head off, therres no need, lets keep the peace. i'm not a fighterr. |

"don't bite my head off" lol, relax :-p I'm sorry if what i said came out sounding angry or something like that? It wasn't intended to be. Just two people having a friendly conversation about the Hail To The Thief artwork. :-) |

Morning Bell/Amnesiac and You And Whose Army? are two of my least favourite Radiohead tracks. I loved Amnesiac when I got it. Since, it's grown off me, though. I still think it should have been an EP. Packt - Pyramid Song - Pulk/Pull - Like Spinning Plates - Life In A Glasshouse |

DOLLARS AND CENTS YOU AND WHOSE ARMY? HUNTING BEARS LIKE SPINNING PLATES Hail to the Thief is awesome, their best album EVER, IMO. The best ones are Sit Down, Stand Up/Backdrifts/Where I End And You Begin/Myxomatosis/Scatterbrain/Wolf at the Door.... :) |
