Wasn't Amnesiac released so quickly just because its songs were written along with Kid A songs? :\ How true is this? however, they do differ from each other.

 

 

yes, the songs from amnesiac were written and recorded at the same time as the kid a songs.

They're still great in my opinion. Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, etc....all great songs

*hands down* I agree with both of you. Amnesiac was my fav before I discovered Kid A. They're still pretty close, tho. Sometimes the first one is higher rated than the latter, hehe :)

One should buy Amnesiac for Life in a Glasshouse.

 

That's slowly becoming a fave of mine.

The songs on Amnesiac are probably individually better than most of Kid A's, but Kid A is a kind of perfect 50 minutes of sound. If you can get past Sardines on Amnesiac without getting bored, the rest is great. In Kid A the songs all complement and blur into each other, but with amnesiac there is a huge contrast between tracks, which makes it seem slightly disjointed and seem not like a 'real' album. I imagine Amnesiac was also meant just as a way of releasing those great songs without Kid A having B-sides.

Rhoo, I get your point, but what do you mean with If you can get past Sardines on Amnesiac without getting bored, the rest is great. ?

Kid a is really brilliant yes..but HTTT too..i cant choose between those albums.

Amnesiac is brilliant as an album, I strongly disagree with what you said about it being like the B-sides throwoff of Kid A. When I bought Amnesiac I didnt know it sort of came from the same session and I thought the songs were a lot suprior to the ones of Kid A. Well, I still like the album better, but both are brilliant.

I agree, I'll never be able to hear it as a collection of b-sides. It doesn't sound like songs that just didn't make the cut. I just view it as an output of a very creative time that Radiohead was going through, maybe songs they had started but hadn't finished.

If they'd think of Amnesiac as a collection of B-sides, they wouldn't even release this LP in my opinion.

And also look at how good the b-sides are from Amnesiac....

I have no idea why I dont like amnesiac,I wish I could like it,but I can't :cry:

Kid A is really so far better Imo:undecided:

i have to say httt is probably my favourite radiohead album. although all of them are brilliant (sans Pablo Honey - i doze off half way through every time i attempt to listen to it)

by the way, i also have heard some on a friday demos, and i thought some of them were actually far more interesting than most of publo honey...i guess what they were going for on PH was the "grunge" sound that was so popular at the time, which doesn't sound all that exciting now, does it.:thinking:

And also look at how good the b-sides are from Amnesiac....

they're veeery good.... to bad they didn't make it :(

I thought about that today. I Want To Know is so much better than most of Pablo Honey, and so is Jerusalem actually.

they're veeery good.... to bad they didn't make it :(

Yeah, Cuttooth was pretty close I think.

If they'd think of Amnesiac as a collection of B-sides, they wouldn't even release this LP in my opinion.
