Pitchfork List: Radiohead's Amnesiac

The thing to like about Radiohead is how they can vary their sound yet you know it's Radiohead when you here their music. Amnesiac is a great album, but actually not one of the bigger know ones like say Kid A. There are some great songs, and the sounds particularly on the last song, "Life In A Glasshouse", is just amazingly beautiful. I wish more songs with a a jazz fusion had been on the album.

History: Radiohead would release their 5th album only a year after they released Kid A. Most the songs on Amnesiac actually were recorded in the same sessions as Kid A as well, which isn't surprising considering the close release dates. The album would still be very comparative in good quality to the previous album. Admitting, critics did't believe it to be as good as Kid A, but definitely one that was a stand alone great album.
