It's hard to call a Radiohead album underrated, but if I had to I would say it's this one. Pyramid Song, Like Spinning Plates, and Life in a Glass House are all songs that I would put in my top ten favorite Radiohead songs. Hunting Bears is its only flaw.

Everyone says this is "the forgotten Radiohead album" yet it sits quite comfortably in the top 100.
Still, a good album, even if it feels a little like a collection of BSides, they were clever not to market it as such.
Pyramid Song stands as my favourite Radiohead song.

Would probably be in my top 10 least favorite albums of all time, very few albums are as bad as Amnesiac.

More Kid A ain't a bad thing.
I wonder why they separated the songs into two albums instead keeping them together in one.. Then again, I'm just thinking from a chart perspective.

Stylistically they feel quite apart. Kid A feels a lot more experimental whilst Amnesiac uses traditional instruments much more. The different version of Morning Bell illustrates this best, I think.

I would have preferred it if they had found a way to combine the best songs from Kid A and this album and just have released the one record. I do like it but it does have quite a bit of filler on it which is unusual for a Radiohead record. It feels like a collection of out-takes rather than a fully realised piece of art. The appearance of Pyramid Song, Knives Out, and Life In A Glasshouse elevate it to being a very good record rather than an average one.
