Amnesiac
Radiohead's 5th is releases on May 30, 2001. It was actually recorded at the same time as the previous album -- Kid A -- but split into two separate albums instead of the double LP. The thinking was there was just too much for the listener to take on -- it was too dense -- for a double album. Amnesiac ends up being one of the stellar albums of the year. It's #320 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." #Radiohead #altrock #amnesiac #electronic…

Tell me what this sounds like to you. Passage from 2000.
“. . . Ordo into streaming mode where it will decrypt the files just long enough for him to read them and then, when he closes the windows, expunge the plaintext from the computer’s memory and from its hard drive.”
@icastico yeah I know lots of people who feel that way.
I much prefer Kid A, but ultimately, I would have preferred one album with the best of both.
You wanna partake in an exercise?
My friends and I did this a lot.
Pick TWELVE songs combined from both Kid A and Amnesiac, and construct ONE album, taking into consideration the flow of the chronological order.
As to not sway you, I’ll withhold mine til after.
