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.

[@MOOSEMAN.69]

"Im a reasonable man, but sometimes i must do unreasonable things" Packt like sardines in a concrete bulldozer

[@robster191]

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

[@andyblanton6570]

What song would be what period?

[@danielakatzenbecher2811]

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

[@joachimb5721]

It‘s also rather catchy, though.

[@Gomba13]

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.

[@chrissteiger4199]

Knives out bears an uncanny resemblance to paranoid Android. Its pretty blatant though, I don't think they were trying to be inconspicuous about it though. They just made an entire new song from the same chord progression/sequence.

[@xtremegamer3000]

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

[@Gomba13]

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.

[@hacerTBB]

4:01 That transition is SO GOOD

[@naiald9466]

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

[@tonnynaomi3926]

"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 :')

[@chrissteiger4199]

Hmmmm. Lol

[@theorangeoof926]

Also it’s nice to actually combine You And Whose Army, Hunting Bears and I Might Be Wrong into one continuous song. They all flow very well.

[@k-leb4671]

@@theorangeoof926 Yeah they flow well together. The "Open up" refrain in IMBW sounds eerily similar to the latter part of Hunting Bears, in terms of chord progression and even the melody. Makes me wonder which came first, and also whether both of them were specifically inspired by Brian Eno's Zawinul/Lava, one of them was, or none of them were and it's a strange coincidence.

[@Chabascus]

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!

[@Stemp]

Thank you so much!

[@pinkraven4402]

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

[@pinkraven4402]

Also, I think of "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" as a desert version of "Idioteque". Both songs' base is an amazing electronic rhytmic pattern but "Idioteque" sounds absolutely COLD. The main synth sample is just chillingly frosty. At the same time "Pulk/Pull" is more psychedelic, dense, like a stroke caused by heat and sun. I love both of them. And, Obviously, "Pulk/Pull" is more minimalistic but I just love this forkin' FAT beat so much that I just look at it as an advantage

[@MauricioJara]

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

[@christophernoia5197]

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.

[@ControlDesigns]

Enjoyed working on this with you, came out really nice :) Amnesiac is an album that deserves to be remembered.

[@morganedwards3966]

I wish there was more commentary on Dollars & Cents... One of their more overlooked gems.

[@GIBKEL]

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 🙏

[@Gomba13]

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.

[@Gomba13]

I think if this record didn't get as positive a reaction as some of their other records, it is because it is less accessible, nothing like a pop record. There are some crazy things on it that are quite a ways off the beaten path. You know how it is: the really good stuff only exists for those who can appreciate it. People throw away diamonds in the rough all the time, preferring vulgar rhinestones to them, because a diamond in the rough needs to be cut and polished first-and that's work. This is why I don't judge any piece of art by its popularity and gravitate towards the lesser known, less popular works.

[@arkin2263]

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.

[@MarcoGosatti43]

Pyramid Song is about everything going in circles Thom Yorke. I look at Amnesiac as KIDAs twin brother. I Might Be Wrong is a great track.

[@emilsmith2293]

Was this inspired by jschlatt’s video on ok computer? If so, it’s really cool that people still acknowledge the existence of that video and that my favorite album got reviewed in that format. edit: Whoa, I just checked the rest of you channel and you have one on Kid A too! You really deserve more attention for this.

[@Stemp]

Yes! It is 100% inspired by the Ok Computer vids! I really enjoyed watching them and always thought it was a shame he didn’t finish them so I wanted to try it but for Kid A! Now, Amnesiac and will probably do more in the future! Thanks for watching, and I’m glad you enjoyed!

YESSS BLIPPS

[@Christian-97]

3. Life in a Glasshouse 2. Dollars and Cents 1. Pyramid Song My top 3 from this awesome album. The only thing I would change is the opener (Amazing Sounds would fit way better and it sets the jarring mood of the album really well, Cuttooth could also really fit) and take out Morning Bell/Amnesiac. Still adore the album, though.

[@starynajebany2137]

Amazing

[@stitchgrimly6167]

The problem with Knives Out is that it's about the only time they've ever really repeated themselves, with inferior results. The main riff is basically Paranoid Android-lite. It's kinda like Led Zep doing Tea For One after Since I've Been Loving You.

[@danielplainview2584]

Literally only the first chord, and melodic contour carry over from Paranoid Android. It’s not even the same rhythm. They’re more than different enough.

[@GamesWithBrainz]

[@farhanissimo]

Do you know what Amnesiac means? It's about someone that experienced apparent death, and when he wokes up he is amnesiac. That person is me, i'm the man who sold the world. Now the world is getting warmer because of the global warming. Nobody nor the die hard Radiohead fans know what Amnesiac means. *sorry english is not my native language

[@bruhcashmoney]

nah you lost me with the ‘cancel’ point in the first song. chud talking point

[@joachimb5721]

When Amnesiac came out, I had the feeling that most people see it as a better album than Kid A for some reason. Understandably, that changed over the years. Amnesiac is one of the three weaker Radiohead albums.

[@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedFantasy6]

So excited for this, Amnesiac is my favorite album of all time

[@Stemp]

I hope you enjoy!
