Super underrated album. So dark and atmospheric. Not Radiohead's best, but still an amazing album. Feel like it gets swept under the rug due to the sheer weight of the rest of their discography.

Not sure it makes sense to me how an album ranked #100 all-time can possibly be "really underrated" and "super underrated"

Radiohead's most eventful record. Had the decency to fix Morning Bell. Like Spinning Plates and Life In A Glass House the greatest most forward thinking music Radiohead has ever come up with. You And Whose Army? and Hunting Bears the most backward thinking music Radiohead has ever come up with. I Might Be Wrong is the grooves. Packt and Pyramid are beautiful head-scratchers. And they threw Knives Out on it to appease their OK Compy deserters.

Track picks:
1. Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box
2. Pyramid Song
3. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors
4. You And Whose Army?
5. I Might Be Wrong
6. Knives Out
7. Morning Bell/Amnesiac
8. Dollars & Cents
9. Hunting Bears
10. Like Spinning Plates
11. Life In A Glasshouse

Nice tribute to Boards of Canada on Pulk/Pull. Dollars & Cents a sign of what's to come a few years later with thm's solo debut (yes, yes, i know the glmng was even more indicative, but dollars&cents lit. could'v been a track on the Eraser).

I love all of you.


Also I like it. I'm not in the camp that it's better than Kid A as some are, but I do really like listening to it. For me it lacks the cohesion that puts Kid A a step ahead... or 3. Even so, some brilliant songs on here.

Also someone gave me the Knives Out single which came with a really cool underwater cartoon music video... and I can't find it anywhere now... kinda bummed.
