Okay it's been a year. We would really love to have that "A Tribute To Hail To The Thief" video now. Thank you🥲

Amnesiac is genuinely my favorite radiohead album. The atmosphere and mood it sets from the beginning perfectly carries throughout the entire album, it's beautiful and so weird. I love it.

[robster]

I like to imagine when I listen to Amnesiac that I'm hearing a series of vignettes about periods of time (Ancient Egypt, Holy Roman Empire, Wild West America, Jazz Funeral New Orleans) and its interesting to me that as the album progresses the songs become closer to modern day

Knives Out feels like empathy to me. I have been through that situation of imminent danger where I got those cold stares, people looking through me, the same people who could have changed the course of my life by merely snapping their fingers but preferred to judge and leave me for dead, who stick around only to pick up the spoils of my demise. I kept saying "If I disappear, no one will come looking for me, and they know it. They are vultures." So Knives Out really speaks to me. I know that if I had been a dog, they would have drowned me at birth. This song makes me feel seen, heard and understood, a rare gift.

The guitars on this track are also unbelievably pretty.

Packt like sardines in a concrete bulldozer

calling 'Like spinning plates' a "rather experimental" track just shows how far down the rabbit hole we've gotten on this channel 😅

[Gomba]

This is my favourite record of theirs. I can't help defaulting to it when I listen to this band. I usually remember one song from any one of their records, listen to it, and that song leads to another song leads to another song leads to Amnesiac, which I then listen to in its entirety. Always. The beauty of the compositions, the emotion, the fact that it is easy to make meaning of the lyrics and to relate, and the singular musicality of it (no, this isn't Kid A) are haunting.

These people are such conscientious artists, pushing themselves to leverage all they've got, and not in the least interested in "the product, " in being impressive, in introducing novelty. They seem to be in a constant state of flow (psychology) and to live for their craft. They are people with experiences, thoughts, feelings, and they have something to say about them. I feel like a lot of the lyrics are self-reflective, they are not meant for me to listen to, I am witnessing another human being lost in thought, and it makes me do the same. Extremely stimulating music, which we are fortunate to have been blessed with.

"I might be wrong" is quite a special song for me
Lately I've found myself stressing over the topic of climate change and global warming it really scares the shit out me
From day to day I just slowly falling deep into this rabbit hole, from the topic of global warming all the way to the topic of humanity to the point where I've become so paranoid and hating humanity entirely and seeing human as this evil creature and slowly distancing myself from this shitty thing called the humanity
I found myself in a crisis
One day I had enough with all of these bullshit and just wanting to stop thinking about all these things and just living my life but I can't
So I use this song to cope
To me the song is about wanting to find peace in life as the world burns you choose to not care about it at all and just living your life and just focusing on yourself and just be careless y'know
And this carelessness philosophy thing also backed by my friend, one day I vented to my friend about my life crisis and dissociation and my friend told me to just take care of myself and nothing else and stop caring about things outside of me
And now I'm in the process of letting things go and start focusing on internal stuff instead and not having this crisis and this song helped me a lot :')

An unexpected surprise, but a very welcome one. This was amazing, you really did Amnesiac justice. It’s also interesting seeing one of these tribute videos cover an entire album in one video unlike what it normally is. But not to mention the editing and transitions was amazing, that You and Whose Army to I Might Be Wrong was great. Seriously I can’t give you enough praise, you are great at this, and I can’t wait to see what you make next!

THE ALGORITHIM WON TODAY.. im gonna binge these videos oh my god

[pinkraven]

To me "Kid A" is icy and frosty mountain peaks, while "Amnesiac" is to me having a heat stroke in an empty desert.

I think "Kid A" is a better album, it has more variety and better flow but to me "Kid A" works really great with "Amnesiac" as a whole in the aspect of atmosphere and mood. As I said at the beginning, they compliment each other

[Invisbke]

Well Stemp, all I can really say is that upon returning to nearly each album(and I generally listen as a piece, not individually unless I’m just jonesing for that quick fix turn of phrase, elevation of whatever mood I’m struck by) and what a world they paint with sonics and sentiment. I have amnesia each time upon return and exit and the cycle is fascinating. I don’t have this experience with any other discography as a whole or individually. It’s like a phase of my favorite painters and this was the style they adopted, explored and perfected. Each revisit is an experience in and of itself with only a memory of the past visits like repeatedly visiting an unfamiliar place over and over to get a sense of it and then suddenly your back home. Each visit has its own amnesia. I go under and feel the world I’ve sank into to awake later saying wasn’t that grand. It pours over me like a water; my body enjoying each drop. I’m clean and go through my day.
I’ve really enjoyed your breakdowns as I never experience the songs this way. I just have a feeling and it’s usually like a perfect pair of shoes or we’ll broken in pants that you slip on with delight that you are going to feel alright today, in your most comfortable version of yourself. Time travel to the distance between now and then. Then it was different but familiar all the same. Thank you 🙏

This is exactly the kind of video you need to watch when you are learning to sing these songs. The songs become much deeper and you can feel them much better when singing them.

[MauricioJara]

Pyramid Song, You And Whose Army, Knives Out, and Dollars & Cents are my favorite tracks from Amnesiac.

[naiald]

amnesiac is my favorite album of all time and my fav songs are ''i might be wrong, hunting bears''

[christophernoia]

As a radiohead fan for almost 20 years, amnesiac has become one of my favorite and most played RH album over the past 4 years or so. I feel that the album has aged much better than HTTT, which is also a good record but doesnt get much play time in its entirety these days. If im going to listen to Amnesiac, I play it from start to finish. Call me crazy, but once I started to really understand amesiac, I stopped skipping "Pulk/pull rebolving doors" and it actually works really well in context of the album! Its such a hypnotic few minutes.

I really love every song on the album, especially dollars and cents, hunting bears, like spinning plates, and the absolute epic closer.

This album is so fucking underrated.

Late reply but just wanna add something,
On a Q magazine I read about radiohead's amnesiac album, It was said that Alice In wonderland was actually the inspiration for Thom to write Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors. Thom said it was because of the chapter on that book where Alice is in a hallway surrounded by doors. There are different kinds of doors that leads to different kinds of places. Just like our life has different choices that makes different results. There are open doors, locked doors, secret doors, and trapdoors, that you can't come back from.

Amnesiac is my third favourite Radiohead album, thank you for making this!! Great to see some Amnesiac love :)
