. 'Released: 16 May 2001. 'I Might Be Wrong'Released: 4 June 2001 (promotional). 'Released: 6 August 2001Amnesiac is the fifth studio album by the English rock band, released in June 2001. Recorded with producer alongside Radiohead's previous album (2000), Amnesiac incorporates similar influences of,.
Only one track was recorded after Kid A: 'Life in a Glasshouse', a collaboration with the.After having released no commercial singles from Kid A, Radiohead released two from Amnesiac, accompanied by music videos: ', '. Amnesiac debuted at number one on the and number two on the US. By October 2008, it had sold over 900,000 copies worldwide.Though it disappointed some hoping for a return to Radiohead's earlier rock sound, Amnesiac was named one of the best albums of 2001 by numerous publications. It was nominated for the and several, winning for for the special edition. 'Pyramid Song' was ranked one of the best tracks of the decade by Rolling Stone, the.
In 2012, ranked Amnesiac number 320 in their updated version of. See also:Radiohead and producer recorded Amnesiac during the same sessions as its predecessor, released in October 2000. The sessions took place from January 1999 to mid-2000 in Paris, Copenhagen, and in Radiohead's Oxfordshire studio. Radiohead incorporated influences from, and, using synthesisers,. The strings, arranged by guitarist, were performed by the and recorded in, a 12th-century church close to Radiohead's studio.
Drummer said the sessions had 'two frames of mind. A tension between our old approach of all being in a room playing together and the other extreme of manufacturing music in the studio. I think Amnesiac comes out stronger in the band-arrangement way.'
The sessions produced more than 20 finished tracks. Radiohead considered releasing them as a, but felt the material was too dense. Singer said Radiohead split the work into two albums because 'they cancel each other out as overall finished things.
They come from two different places, I think. In some weird way I think Amnesiac gives another take on Kid A, a form of explanation.' The band stressed that they saw Amnesiac not as a collection of or outtakes from Kid A but an album in its own right.Only one track, 'Life in a Glasshouse', was recorded after Kid A was released. In late 2000, Greenwood wrote to jazz trumpeter to ask the to play on the song, explaining that Radiohead were 'a bit stuck'. Greenwood told: 'We realised that we couldn't play jazz. You know, we've always been a band of great ambition with limited playing abilities.'
Lyttelton agreed to help after his daughter showed him Radiohead's 1997 album. According to Lyttelton, Radiohead 'didn't want it to sound like a slick studio production but a slightly exploratory thing of people playing as if they didn't have it all planned out in advance'. The song was recorded over a seven-hour session, and left Lyttelton exhausted: 'I detected some sort of eye-rolling at the start of the session, as if to say we were miles apart. They went through quite a few nervous breakdowns during the course of it all, just through trying to explain to us all what they wanted.' Music and lyrics.
'I read that the believe when we are born we are forced to forget where we have come from in order to deal with the trauma of arriving in this life. I thought this was really fascinating. It's like the. Amnesiac may have been recorded at the same time as Kid A. But it comes from a different place I think. It sounds like finding an old chest in someone's attic with all these notes and maps and drawings and descriptions of going to a place you cannot remember.' —SongwriterAmnesiac incorporates,.
Bassist said it had 'more traditional Radiohead-type songs together with more experimental, non-lyrical based instrumental-type stuff as well'. 'Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box' is an electronic song built from, with vocals manipulated with the pitch-correcting software to create a 'nasal, depersonalised sound'.' ' was inspired by the song 'Freedom', with lyrics inspired by an exhibition of ancient art Yorke attended while the band was recording in Copenhagen and ideas of cyclical time discussed. Selway said the song 'ran counter to what had come before in Radiohead in lots of ways. The constituent parts are all quite simple, but I think the way that they then blend gives real depth to the song.' 'Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors', an electronic track, was built on a. It incorporates loops recorded in the OK Computer sessions, including elements of a version of ', a song Radiohead did not complete until their ninth album, (2016).
The band disabled the on the tape recorders so that the tape repeatedly recorded over itself, creating a 'ghostly' loop. They used Auto-Tune to process Yorke's speech into melody; according to Yorke, the software 'desperately tries to search for the music in your speech, and produces notes at random.
If you've assigned it a key, you've got music.' Yorke said 'You and Whose Army?' Was 'about someone who is elected into power by people and who then blatantly betrays them – just like did'.
Attempting to capture the 'soft, warm, proto- sound' of the 1940s harmony group, Radiohead muffled microphones with eggboxes and used the ondes Martenot's resonating palme diffuseur loudspeaker to treat the vocals. 'Pyramid Song' was influenced by jazz musician. This sample, from the song's second verse, demonstrates the string arrangement and irregular rhythm.Problems playing this file? I Might Be Wrong' combines a 'venomous' guitar with a 'trance-like metallic beat'. Colin Greenwood's bassline was inspired by bassist. The lyric 'never look back' came from advice given to Yorke by his partner,: 'Be proud of what you've done. Don't look back and just carry on like nothing's happened.
Just let the bad stuff go.' According to a studio diary kept by guitarist, ' took 373 days to record, 'a ridiculously long gestation period for any song'.
It was influenced by the guitar work of of the.' Morning Bell/Amnesiac' is an alternative version of 'Morning Bell' from Kid A.
O'Brien said that Radiohead often record and abandon different versions of songs, but that this version was 'strong enough to bear hearing again'. Yorke wrote that it was included 'because it came from such a different place.
Because we only found it again by accident after having forgotten about it. Because it sounds like a recurring dream. It felt right.' 'Dollars and Cents' was edited down from an eleven-minute, using an editing approach inspired by band. Colin Greenwood played a record by jazz musician over the recording, inspiring his brother Jonny to write a 'Coltrane-style' string arrangement. Yorke said the lyrics were 'gibberish', but inspired by the notion that 'people are basically just pixels on a screen, unknowingly serving this higher power which is manipulative and destructive'. Jonny Greenwood used the, an early electronic instrument.
Its resonating palme diffuseur loudspeaker (pictured centre) was used to treat the vocals on 'You and Whose Army?' Hunting Bears' is a short on electric guitar and synthesiser. 'Like Spinning Plates' was constructed from components of another song, 'I Will', which Radiohead had tried to record in the same sessions. Unsatisfied with the results, which Yorke described as 'dodgy ', the band reversed the recording and used it to create a new track. Yorke said: 'We'd turned the tape around, and I was in another room, heard the vocal melody coming backwards, and thought, 'That's miles better than the right way round', then spent the rest of the night trying to learn the melody.' Yorke sang the lyrics backwards; this recording was in turn reversed, creating. 'I Will' was released in a new arrangement on Radiohead's subsequent album (2003).'
Life in a Glasshouse' features the playing in the style of a New Orleans. According to Lyttelton, the song starts with 'ad-libbed, bluesy, minor-key meandering, then it gradually gets so that we're sort of playing real wild, primitive, stuff'. The lyrics were inspired by a news story Yorke read of a celebrity's wife so harassed by that she papered her house windows with their photographs. Artwork and packaging Amnesiac 's was created by Yorke and longtime Radiohead collaborator. It depicts a weeping of on the cover of a book. Donwood said the artwork was inspired by 'taking the train to London, getting lost and taking notes'. Likening London to the mythological, he saw the city as 'an imaginary prison, a place where you can walk around and you are the Minotaur of London, we are all the monsters, we are all half-human, half-beast'.Donwood also designed a special edition package with a hardback CD case in the style of a mislaid library book.
He imagined that 'someone made these pages in a book and it went into drawer in a desk and was forgotten about in the attic. And visually and musically the album is about finding the book and opening the pages.' The special edition won a at the.
Promotion and tour Radiohead announced Amnesiac on their website in January 2001, three months after the release of Kid A. After having released no singles from Kid A, Radiohead released three from Amnesiac: ' in May, followed by 'I Might Be Wrong' (radio only) in June and 'Knives Out' in July, backed by music videos.

Reception Professional ratingsAggregate scoresSourceRating75/100Review scoresSourceRatingC+8/109.0/107/10After Radiohead's previous album, Kid A, had divided listeners, many hoped for a return to their earlier rock sound for Amnesiac. The titled its review 'Relax: it's nothing like Kid A'. However, Rolling Stone saw it as a further distancing from Radiohead's earlier, '-like' style, and Pitchfork found that ' Amnesiac is about as close to as is to Jamaican'. Critic Mike Powell wrote that although Amnesiac was ' slightly more straightforward' than Kid A, it 'solidified the postmillennial model of Radiohead: less songs and more atmosphere, more eclectic and electronic, more paranoid, more threatening, more sublime'.of the felt that Amnesiac, compared to Kid A, was 'a richer, more engaging record, its austerity and troubled vision enriched by a rousing of the human spirit'.
The Guardian named Amnesiac 'CD of the week'. Critic, who had disliked Kid A, felt Amnesiac was superior, writing that it 'strikes a cunning and rewarding balance between experimentation and quality control. It's hardly easy to digest but nor is it impossible to swallow.' He criticised the electronic tracks 'Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors' and 'Like Spinning Plates' as self-indulgent, but felt they were 'overshadowed by haunting musical shifts and unconventional melodies'.Several critics felt Amnesiac was less cohesive than Kid A. Critic wrote that it 'often plays as a hodgepodge', and that the albums 'clearly derive from the same source and have the same flaws. The division only makes the two records seem unfocused, even if the best of both records is quite stunning'.
Pitchfork wrote that 'the questionable sequencing of Amnesiac does little to hush the argument that the record is merely a thinly veiled B-sides compilation', though its 'highlights were undeniably worth the wait, and easily overcome its occasional patchiness'. Stylus critic Powell wrote that 'it stands as an excellent disc', but was not as 'exploratory or interesting' as Kid A. Accolades Amnesiac was nominated for the 2001, losing to 's, for which Yorke provided guest vocals. It was the fourth consecutive Radiohead album nominated for a, and the special edition won a in the.Several publications named Amnesiac one of the best albums of 2001, including, the, the,. In 2005, Stylus named it the best album of the decade that far. In 2009, Pitchfork ranked Amnesiac the 34th best album of the 2000s and Rolling Stone ranked it the 25th. It is included in the 2005 book, and in 2012 Rolling Stone included it at number 320 in its updated list of.
'Pyramid Song' was ranked one of the best tracks of the decade by Rolling Stone, the NME and Pitchfork. Reissues After a period of being on vinyl, EMI a double LP of Amnesiac on 19 August 2008 along with Kid A, Hail to the Thief and OK Computer as part of the 'From the Capitol Vaults' series.On 31 August 2009, EMI reissued Amnesiac in a two-CD 'Collector's Edition' and a 'Special Collector's Edition' containing an additional DVD. The first CD contains the original studio album; the second CD collects B-sides from Amnesiac singles and live performances; the DVD contains music videos and a live television performance. Radiohead, who left EMI in 2007, had no input into the reissue and the music was not remastered. In Pitchfork's review of the reissue, Scott Plagenhoef wrote: 'More than Kid A – and maybe more than any other LP of its time – Amnesiac is the kickoff of a messy, rewarding era.
Disconnected, self-aware, tense, eclectic, head-turning – an overload of good ideas inhibited by rules, restrictions, and conventional wisdom.' The 'Collector's Editions' were discontinued after Radiohead's back catalogue was transferred to in 2016. In May 2016, XL reissued Radiohead's back catalogue on vinyl, including Amnesiac.

Just randomly watching some Radiohead videos on Youtube and thought I'd post this one.Street Spirit (Acoustic):)That was awesome. I've never heard that song before. Before Oink went under, I downloaded a vinyl rip of Kid-A. I got In Rainbows when it came out, and recently ripped my friend's copy of Pablo Honey to my computer.
I also bought two EP's at Circuit City two days ago. COM LAG (2plus2is5), and Airbaig/How Am I Driving?So I'm slowly increasing my Radiohead knowledge. But where can I find more acoustic stuff? I was waiting till Christmas time to download the acoustic compliation on Oink. Obviously that isn't happening. So any help would be appreciated.
Okay, this is the last time. I swear.What is the address for that blog / site that has lots of live files. Mainly high quality mp3's and some FLAC stuff.I promise I'll bookmark it this time.:lol This is like the fourth time you have asked for it,:lolwill you consider the upcoming 2nd disk of songs CD2 of a double album or simply bonus tracks?CD2 of a double album because the kid that got the disc said that it had fillers in them, which in my mind makes it it's own album. I need some help.
I've been totally reoganizing my music. Relabeling, converting, moving into different folders, and I'm all but finished.However, there were a few casualties.A) Entire Modest Mouse discography and two live shows.-I don't have torrents at school but can grab it all in one click in two weeks when I get home.B) Pablo Honey, The Bends, Iron Lung EP, and HTTT.-they were stuck in some Nina Simone folder I trashed and can't get 'em back. If anyone is so kind to upload.Why would you trash Nina Simone? Why would you trash Nina Simone?I thought that comment might b coming, but didn't really think it would so I didn't give any more info.I don't trash Nina Simone. I have everything.
It was an old and mis-labled folder with nothing left in it (I thought) but the MoMo collection was hiding inside.So you want someone to upload all those for you?I would just hold off untill you are able to use torrents and just go to ISOhunt, or piratebay or something along those lines.And.not the Modest Mouse stuff, just whatever you want to do for Radiohead. HTTT / The Bends are what I really want right now. I can hold off for the rest; but if anyone gets generous and wants to put up the other stuff too I would love it. But mainly needing HTTT / The Bends right now. I thought that comment might b coming, but didn't really think it would so I didn't give any more info.I don't trash Nina Simone.

Just getting into the wild world of Radiohead as of recently, and am having a hard time getting out of it.What are your guys' thoughts on The Tourist.
This is slowly becoming my favorite song on OK Computer. Sorry if this is sounds NooBIsh but everyones gotta start somewhere. When he hits that 'slowwwwww dowwn' note, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.ur entering a world love mass arguements of love.lol.IMO Ok Computer is their best album.and one of the best albums ever!!! Kid A is also good, very loved on this board.I don't follow. Everything sounds correct.
Runs for the full time. All music and lyrics.yup!! And thanks for mentioning albumhunt.i really like it so far. And thanks for mentioning albumhunt.i really like it so farSure thing.it can happen if the mp3s aren't encoded correctly.trust me, the disk is nearly 27 minutes long.It was only 26mb's.It would make no sense for a 75 minute disc to be only 26mb's.Actually iTunes says the Bitrate is only 32kbps. It sounds nothing like that low of quality though.Oh, okay. It's official. The times are off.
Last Flowers just finished about 1/2 way through the '18 minuete version.' For sure 27 minutes long.and not 32kbps. But beyond the ripoff of this whole ordeal, my biggest problem with this is it is not an album. It is a collection of mp3s that don't actually exist because you can't buy it in the store. They are nothing but binary code. Let's look at a breakdown here:Computer: realCompact Disc: realInternet: fakeInternet porn: fake but awesomeMp3s of songs from a compact disc: fakeRadiohead's In Rainbows: fake and assholesBy this logic, because the album doesn't actually exist and I can't hold it in my hands it's not an album.
It's no better than that friend of mine, the prince in Burkina Faso who's going to be sending me a huge cheque any day now. Because they didn't send me anything and I refuse to pay for the album, I haven't even actually listened to it. I just know based on my own prejudgments and assumptions that it's going to suck and those douches in Radiohead are running all the way to the bank.:lol. MK1 was sort of a transition from Videotape into the Bonus disc, but then the next three tracks don't flow at all.I like how they flow. Mk 1 is sort of a beginning and then things rip right into DITNU. Then we have a sort of a bring-down from that with Go Slowly.
Another weird transition follows with Mk 2 into another soft number, Last Flowers.The final 3 tracks leave you wanting more.God, this band is heaven-sent. I'm loving this disk.and it's only my 2nd listen.I might just have to consider this disk 2 of a double album (hell, Ryan Adams did it with Cold Roses).
Outtakes From Movies
Or just put them as tracks 11-18 of In Rainbows. The more I listen to this 'bonus disk', the more I love it.I was thinking: if you take all 18 songs and split them in half for CD1 & CD2, you have this:CD115 StepBodysnatchersNudeWeird Fishes/ArpeggiAll I NeedFaust ArpReckonerHouse of CardsJigsaw Falling into PlaceCD2VideotapeMk 1Down is the New UpGo SlowlyMk 2Last FlowersUp on the LadderBangers & Mash4 Minute WarningCD1 starts and ends with a loud song, and CD2 begins and ends with a slower song.The more I think about it, the bridge of Mk 1 from Videotape links the 'bonus disk' to In Rainbows as more than just a bunch of outtakes. Plus, both CDs apparently say 'In Rainbows'.
The fact of the one being shorter doesn't mean much. I guess, maybe like the original price of the LP, it's again 'up to you'?But I wonder if they'll add any or all of these 'extra' cuts come the 'official' worldwide release of IR? Just because they released them as bonus songs in a self-release doesn't mean anything. It would be nice. I've had the 8 Outtakes from Amnesiac for a long time now. I feel sort of special actually. It was on OiNK, picked it up there when I first joined and tried to use that site.
Had it for sometime now, and a little surprised you Radioheads wern't on it! You're slacking!Download and little more information:TrackThe Amazing Sounds of OrgyTrans-Atlantic DrawlKineticLife in a Glasshouse (Full Length)Just a bsides collection thisWorrywort, Cuttooth, Fog, Life in a Glass House (full version)are B-sides of Knives OutFast-track, Kinetic, The Amazing Sounds of Orgy, Trans-atlantic Drawlare B-sides of Pyramid SongChoice track as got to be Worrywort for me.' My personal favorites from it are Cuttooth and Worrywort. I've decided I officially thinkIn Rainbows Kid ANow I know that will be a very controversial opinion, but it's mine. I listened to both last night. Obviously In Rainbows isn't as 'visionary' or different, but it's more consistent to me by far, and contains some of their best songs.
Kid A obviously does as well, but it isn't as perfect start to finish. The first 4 tracks are near perfection, as are the last 3. But Treefingers - Optimistic - In Limbo? That's a pretty weak run IMO. And this is from a fan of Optimistic.it's a good song but every song on In Rainbows is better.Thoughts? What albums do they have besidesMILEPAmnesiacKidOKCPabloHTTTIRIR bsidesBendsAmnesiac bsidesI might be wrong eprecommend the Itch Ep, Drill Ep, High and Dry maxi-single Ep, Com Lag Ep, Pop is Dead single Ep.They each collect some more random b-sides/demos/live cuts. Not all of them though.
For instance, Talk Show Host is a b-side and also on the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack. And I Want None of This is on some benefit comp from 2005.Also, the fan-made compilation 'Towering Above the Rest' is a good place to find some more odds n' sods.

Just point me in the right direction.
