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¢s lit. could'v been a track on the Eraser). _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.

A really underrated album in Radiohead's discography, but a bit too disjointed to be among my absolute favourites. Most of the songs here are very strong, though, and it might be the most seductively dark album they have released besides AMSP. Pyramid Song, I Might Be Wrong, Life in a Glasshouse, Pakt, Knives Out, are all great songs. You and Whose Army is really interesting in terms of production, and was used to chilling effect in Denis Villeneuve's brilliant film Incendies (seriously, use of Radiohead aside, it's a great movie). _________________ Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by indieshins

You know you're listening to an amazing band when this is only their 6TH BEST ALBUM. It's not their most consistent work, but it still has a lot of classics, including tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 11. I really love Amnesiac's mood and atmosphere, and it's a great album to listen to on a rainy day, especially while I'm driving.
