2008 EU reissue on  2 x 10 inch vinyl EP =Known for their explorative and restless sound, taking influence from old style rock like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Pink Floyd as well as from electronica and hip hop, each of Radiohead's albums marks a cornerstone in their musical evolution. Although it's more song-driven and acoustic than Kid A (2000), Radiohead's follow-up 2001 effort Amnesiac was hulled from the same sessions and it served as the first time in the band's career that a new record didn't bring about a complete shift in artistic priorities. It's nevertheless another brilliant offering from the most musically innovative band in modern music and another fine example of the fact that they're comfortably in a league all their own.

Tracks:
A1 Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box
A2 Pyramid Song
A3 Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

B1 You And Whose Army?
B2 I Might Be Wrong

C1 Knives Out
C2 Morning Bell/Amnesiac
C3 Dollars & Cents

D1 Hunting Bears
D2 Like Spinning Plates
D3 Life In A Glasshouse 

Faced with a deliberately difficult deviation into experimentation Radiohead and their record label promoted Kid A as just that a brave experiment and that the next album which was just around the corner really would be the real record the one to satiate fans looking for the next OK Computer or at least guitars At the time people bought the myth especially since live favorites like Knives Out and You and Whose Army were nowhere to be seen on Kid A That however ignores a salient point Amnesiac as the album came to be known consists of recordings made during the Kid A sessions so it essentially sounds the same Since Radiohead designed Kid A as a selfconsciously epochal genreshattering record the songs that didnt make the cut were a little simpler so it shouldnt be a surprise that Amnesiac plays like a streamlined version of Kid A complete with blatant electronica moves and production that sacrifices songs for atmosphere This inevitably will disappoint the legions awaiting another guitarbased record that is after all what they were explicitly promised but what were they expecting This is an album recorded at the same time and Radiohead have a certain reputation to uphold It would be easier to accept this if the record was better than it is Where Kid A had shock on its side along with an admirably dogged desire to not be conventional Amnesiac often plays as a hodgepodge True its a hodgepodge with amazing moments the hypnotic sway of Pyramid Song and You and Whose Army the swirling I Might Be Wrong Knives Out and the spectacular closer Life in a Glasshouse complete with a drunkenly swooning brass band But these are not moments that are markedly different than Kid A which itself lost momentum as it sputtered to a close And this is the main problem though its nice for an artist to be generous and release two albums these two records clearly derive from the same source and have the same flaws which clearly would have been corrected if they had been consolidated into one record Instead of revealing why the two records were separated the appearance of Amnesiac makes the separation seem arbitrary theres no shift in tone no shift in approach and the division only makes the two records seem unfocused even if the best of both records is quite stunning proof positive that Radiohead are one of the best bands of their time AMG
