Customer Reviews

You don't like Pablo Honey do you.

Well your wrong. The purpose of this review is to explain why your wrong.
1. You haven't heard a thing from Pablo Honey except for creep
2. You try to Prove Yourself by saying it's overrated, and that Amnesiac is underrated.
3. Your wrong again. Both albums are underrated. Get both
5. You didn't notice I skipped 4. Thank you for reading my review.

The Most Appropriate Title

The end of the CD booklet suggests the viewer/listener to disassemble the pages, put them into a box and forget about them. Those directions, along with the title of the album, strike such irony. I can't remember the last time I mentioned Radiohead and somebody else brought up Amnesiac, which is a damn shame. Right after this album originally came out, it was my favorite of theirs only to eventually be usurped by Kid A (what a leap, huh?).

However, in all seriousness, I view this album as Radiohead at their most creative and visceral. The atmosphere of "Pyramid Song" never fails to replace the world around me and when the climax of "You and Whose Army?" occurs it always sends a chill down my spine. This album is remarkably real and although it should have been released along with Kid A, it stands just as well on it's own.

Don't let this album die in the shadow of Pablo Honey. Explore the darkness--you won't be disapointed by what you find.

The lost Radiohead masterpiece.

Tha argument that Kid A and Amnesiac should have been released as a double album instead of seperately is valid, indeed that is what Yorke wanted to do in the beginning before Kid A's release. However, that should not take away from this overlooked 'second half' of the Kid A recordings. This is the better of the two Albums, and the best Radiohead album recorded to date. Kid A was converged and very carefully exacted, Amnesiac is much more expansive and seems to drift in and out of the overall theme of apathetic reflection. Eventually this will be recognized as the apogee of Radiohead, before it became yorke and greenwood and company. It should have been a double album, but either way the best songs are on here.

Biography

Formed: 1989 in Oxford, England

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

Radiohead were one of the few alternative bands of the early '90s to draw heavily from the grandiose arena rock that characterized U2's early albums. But the band internalized that epic sweep, turning it inside out to tell tortured, twisted tales of angst and alienation. Vocalist Thom Yorke's pained lyrics were brought to life by the group's three-guitar attack, which relied on texture — borrowing as much from My Bloody Valentine and Pink Floyd as R.E.M. and Pixies — instead of virtuosity....
