by GregRadiohead  in Music, , Apr 23 '09
Pros: An excellent companion to Kid A
Cons: Not quite as good as Kid A
With hindsight, it must be said that it's too bad that Radiohead didn't release Kid A and Amnesiac on the same day. Since the two albums are from the same sessions and the band had toyed with the idea of a double album, they should've ...

Pros: There are things to talk about; be constructive.
Cons: There was plenty to fear and plenty to doubt.
Author's Note: I have committed the ultimate hypocrisy - I slammed this album for its inaccessibility and proclaimed that I would never buy a Radiohead CD. After years of waiting, they finally managed to rope me in - I realized that...

by flamepillar - Top 50, Sep 03 '04
Pros: "The Pyramid Song" and "Knives Out"
Cons: More like Insomniac
There comes a certain naïveté with being a Radiohead fan. We listen to music that makes no sense and lyrics that make even less sense, and maybe the only reason it makes any sense at the end of the day is simply that we want it to. Kind of ...

Pros: Picks up where "Kid A" left off, but with some true gems.
Cons: Picks up where "Kid A" left off, but with some real stinkers.
It’s about seven months after Radiohead’s career hit a peak commercially with their fourth full-length release, Kid A. The band’s first chart-topping album sold 207,000 copies in the U.S. its first week and garnered a Best Album...

Pros: An Excellent Album from Radiohead.
Cons: It's Very Inconsistent.
After the release of their 2000 masterpiece “Kid A”, Radiohead had retained their spot as the best band in the world. Fans and critics were overjoyed with “Kid A” and wanted more. Radiohead knew after they released “Kid...

by MattA75 - Top 50, Feb 04 '02
Pros: they let Johnny Greenwood pick up a guitar again
Cons: most of it just kind of bores me
I've held off writing a review of this album for a long time now. Released in June 2001, Radiohead's Amnesiac, their fifth album, is a tough listen, even for someone like me who loved the atmosphere created on 2000's Kid A. I'm...

Pros: .
Cons: .
Radiohead is a band. They make music. Amnesiac contains music. It was recorded in tandem with Kid A. Kid A was chilly. Amnesiac is warm as ice gets. We are very interested in your files. Thom Yorke is the singer. This means his words are the focal ...

by hiimfred , Apr 01 '04
Pros: Some of the best music I've heard in a while.
Cons: Hard to handle and difficult to get beyond differences.
Being an avid listener of Radio for years, it took me this long to accept Amnesiac and actually understand it. I didn’t want to hear a band driven and corrected by machines, because this was the band that was protesting the technological road ...

by e_burrell - Top 1000, Apr 17 '01
Pros: Some instant classics that Everyone can enjoy
Cons: The second half of the album leaves much to be desired.
I'm a big believer in good production value. If the production suffers, the album suffers because of it. I'm also a big believer in effects, pedals and keyboards. Sometimes, a song needs that extra bit of trickery to make it brilliant. On the other...

Pros: lots of creativity, Pyramid Song, Knives Out, and I Might Be Wrong
Cons: a lot of it is just too weird, filler, under developed
Members of Radiohead Thom Yorke – vocals, guitar Jonny Greenwood - guitar, keyboards and any other instrument you can think of Ed O'Brien - guitar Colin Greenwood - bass Phil Selway – drums One of the most mind boggling things ...

by MichaelHatton - Top 200, Oct 14 '02
Pros: Almost perfect music; timing; instruments; lyrics; tone; texture everything spot on.
Cons: Tracks 3 and 7 less than great.
Radiohead’s career so far has provided us with the most interesting changes in their sound. They became famous for the Punk One Hit Wonders with Pablo Honey, but that changed from a metallic and cheap sound to a much taller and bigger...

by salivation , Jun 02 '05
Pros: A one of a kind experience that enhances Kid A's themes to magnified closeness.
Cons: Not for every mood/person/personality/presence/being/entity/existence
Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear is the immediate phrase construed by the lovely bit of nothing / everything that is Radiohead's Amnesiac. I personally don't consider this a disc of leftovers as much as a complete little ...

Pros: Those who are willing to embrace the experimentation will find lots to like.
Cons: Those still yearning for a return to the band's past won't appreciate Amnesiac.
THE ALL NEW RADIOHEAD
Full Disclosure: I've been a huge Radiohead fan since 1995. I've seen the band perform live at least five times, and I've been blown away each time. However, that said, I will admit that their glory days...
