Oh no no no! Why does this get repeated over and over?
Amnesiac is gold! It's really a more mature version of Kid A. Evolved. In my opinion Kid A was the v1 product and Amnesiac was v2. Much more balanced and much fewer "bugs" and issues. There's not a single weak track on Amnesiac, whereas there are quite a few on Kid A.
To be honest I find Amnesiac is one of their best albums.
Yeah, Amnesiac is a great example of an album that defines which fans like different aspects of the band. I love this album, but I can see why some people would dislike it. The album takes a road that is not very common. Kid A was a big change for them, but some of the ablum's influence was already seen in other artists, like Aphex Twin, etc. Amnesiac is an evolution of a rock band. And usually when you break schemes is hard to please everyone.
This times 1000000000!!! I don't even like kid a that much but find amnesiac to at least have proper son structure. Pyramid song is the perfect haunting melody. You and whose army is a great take on 1940s lounge music with out the optimism. Amnesiac is probably my favorite radio head album
The "regular" Amnesiac album is a bit sleepy (get it?) but the Amnesiac College EP with songs like Fast Track, Trans-Atlantic Drawl and Kinetic is not to be missed!
This may be a bit pretentious... But if you're not listening to their smaller EPs you're missing out! (Airbag: How am I driving, is easily one of the best)
I've also always been confused by the apathy toward Amnesiac. Many of my favorite Radiohead songs are on it and it seemed just as interesting, if not more, than Kid A.
I've always found that I love the individual songs on Amnesiac as songs, but as an album, it's not as cohesive or gorgeous as Kid A. I can't back that up with anything but subjective perspective, but it's my feeling.
