"Because we both knew we're just floating in the same space over molten rock, and we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft, there's nothing left except certain death, and that was comforting at night out under the moon."

My first listen to this was one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had while listening to music. I was stuck outside, slightly lost, in 30°C without water, and I swear to god that there was this crow that was following me. I never actually saw it move, but everywhere I went, it was there siting in a tree, staring at me.

"We all went to heaven in a little row boat, there was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt."

For a while this was my least favourite Radiohead album (aside from Pablo Honey, of course), but eventually I grew to like it. People often call it a bunch of b-sides from Kid A, but I feel there is a distinct difference between the two albums. While Kid A feels like a desolate, alien wasteland, Amnesiac is more claustrophobic and even sort of nostalgic, like a dusty old attic that nobody has been to in years. The B-sides are excellent as well, maybe even better than the album tracks, though I'm somewhat happy they didn't end up on the album, as they mostly don't fit with the mood. Cuttooth is far too upbeat for an album that contains Pyramid Song. I guess Amazing Sounds Of An Orgy and Kinetic would fit in fine though. I have no idea why they didn't use the full version of Life In A Glasshouse from the Knives Out single on the album.

Favourite Tracks: Life In A Glasshouse, Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army, I Might Be Wrong

Favourite B-sides: Fog, Cuttooth, The Amazing Sounds of an Orgy
