1. Why do some people consider it a weaker version of Kid A? (I disagree with that assumption, I think it's a nice album with it's own ideas and execution) 2. "Pyramid Song" is one of their best songs ever PERIOD 3. Why "Hunting Bears"? Any suggestions, comments, insults welcome... :) |
||||||||

I kind of see Kid A and Amnesiac as two parts of the same project, as if it were a double cd.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I mean, they both are unique but still complement each other. |
||||||||
|

I love Amnesiac...its something completely different but it still has the Radiohead feel to it....I love it. There isnt one Radiohead I dont like. |
||||||||

when i first heard amnesiac i thought it sucked, and thought pyramid song was the best song ever, recently i started to really like the other songs on it, as well as pyramid song. im like that with a lot of cds , they grow on me with my moods but i think it can still hold its own as a radiohead release, although im no expert |
||||||||

I think amnesiac is ok in parts,.. but definately the worst release radiohead have ever put out which still makes it better than pretty much everything else out there in the pop rock department oh wait,.. pablo honey sucked too :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think the sound the same at all. amnesiac is heavier, not that it's a heavy album at all though. |
||||||||
|

Im finding all of Radiohead's songs to be awesome...even Pablo Honey is cool...well most of it. I don't like that Iron Lung EP...i don't like that stuff. Amnesiac isn't that heavy for me. Kid A is though. probably their heaviest for me. sounds like they went through a depression and really didn't want to use their instruments and relied on computers a lot. in fact maybe thats why they used a lot of computers on it? i can see that there must have been a lot of weight on their sholders after OK Computer...i mean how do you top that? only thing to do is go into another direction..maybe thats it. |

i think it's best not to appraoch music creation with the idea that you have to live up to a previous release or make a better one or make something different or whatever. past music should have nothing to do with it. one should just make what they are inspired to make. it's not a game, it's music. |
||||||||

I thought it was a bit uneven at first, inconsistent, it's pretty eclectic. But a few of the songs are really amazing... Knives Out and Pyramid Song may be my two favorite tracks by them. But there's a hanful of tracks that I skip, wheras OK Computer had none and Kid A had only one... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Which one off Kid A, Ophecks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Treefingers. Off Amnesiac, I skip Hunting Bears, Packt, and Pulk/Pull. Three, yikes! And I'm not too fond of Life in a Glasshouse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you skip pakt? it's one of the best tracks on there! this is pure heresy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

WORST SONG EVER=MORNING BELL\AMNESIAC Ruins the whole album, i cant believe its so bad, why in gods name would they remix a song from kid a and ALSO make a horrible song. why does everyone hate pulk\pull and hunting bears, I like both a lot. and Packt... is probably one of the best on the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. It blows the entire album out of whack, I usually just skip it... |
||||||||

i love both kid A and amnesiac and while they were released around the same time i accept them at two separate, distinct & EXCELLENT radiohead albums. people feel the need to complain about a lot of things and i look at any complaints like: - they shoulda released them as a double CD - they wanted to make more money so they released them separately blah blah blah....etc etc etc as just another excuse to pick on radiohead because they didn't make another CD like OK computer. for a lot of radiohead fans, that was the seminal album and anything that diverages from that is shite......and IMO thats a bunch of SHITE =0) (my .02 cents) |

no one should release double albums. there are so few artists that can pull this off. my 2 bucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If Radiohead made another OK Computer, I doubt people here would care about them anymore... There's nothing worse than watching a promising artist rise to artistic heights and then feed off it... Right Moby... :P ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kid A and Amnesiac both have their share of shit. But I like Amnesiac better, probably because of Knives Out, You and Whose Army, Life in a Glass House, Pyramid Song...I dunno, they're both good. |

agreed.......but i've found that a lot of people HATE change.....and doesn't matter if it's aphex, radiohead, the roots.....etc.....but it seems to be a general disappointment when they go in a different direction than the one everyone fell in love with. i think thats why i admire U2(amoung others)....they've wandered off to the EDGE.....(no pun intended) made some mis-steps (IMO) and found their way back to making GREAT and different music that their fans enjoy. i dunno......every artist makes crap songs/albums.....and i have my own fav's and NON-fav's, but i think that overall quality should be recognized if not always appreciated by all. =0) |

"but i've found that a lot of people HATE change" it's weird, because the 'general' reaction of this mb when an artist doesnt change enough their style and reuse their old style, people complain (ie, drukqs), and people also complain when artists seems to change too much too (ie, confield). it's rare that people are ever satisfied. if they are, it takes a while. i think that most people now love drukqs and confield. just an observation. |

people also complain when artists seems to change too much too (ie, confield). That wasn't the huge step lots of people made it out to be. Actually, that was a culmination of everything Ae did from Chiastic Slide onward... |
||||||||

|
i think people like to COMPLAIN.....hahahahha i'm not saying i'm immune to that (i complain too), but negativity seems to be a natural state for a lot of people..... sometimes i think we all need to take stock and READ what we write day in and day out, sometimes we follow a patterns that we don't notice, but others do from a distance. |

i dont think so too, it sounds like the logical step forward in their evolution path. but most people thought it was a pretty drastic change. but i can see why they might see it like that though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just dont get how some people never seem to be satisfied! and ive done my fair share of complaining too, i must admit... |

there isn't one bad song on any of their 4 albums or the airbag ep. my iron lung has lozenge of love and lewis (mistreated) which i'm not a big fan of. i'm sorry some of you don't appreciate lp's 4 and 5 but i don't think radiohead could've done anything better, musically or strategically (i don't mean marketing, i mean the progression of their art). yay for radiohead. |

i cannot stand pulk! terrible amateurish tripe. but it doesn't matter, as Like Spinning Plates is on this album, and that is their best song, period. |

Pulk/pull is alright, I hated it at first but now I kinda like it. Hunting Bears I never did get. Life in a Glass House is one of my all time favorites. Amnesiac and Kid A are both neat, but right now I'm stuck on The Bends for some reason. Totally different style. They're cool cause you can hear their feelings. That makes me happy. Happy slappy "I just do music" bands piss me off. |
