Comments[edit]

why is this labeled art rock and EXPERIMENTAL??? it gives radiohead way to much credit, this is just beats and electro stuff your talkin about, that doesnt make it artyWould a disambiguation notice be in order? With a link to dissociative amnesia? Except that's rather a non-article right now so it may not be worth it -- sannse 15:57 Mar 29, 2003 (UTC)

done. Angela 18:13, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

This is a concept album? What's the concept? Everyking 06:33, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

Isn't it obvious? All the songs have the theme 'We couldn't fit these on Kid A'..no, seriously, there really isn't one, but some fans have tried to link it up with the Kid A concept. --MockTurtle 23:22, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, I removed the concept album bit a little while ago because I don't think there is one. If someone wanted to make a case for it, though, I suppose they could add it back in some form. Everyking 00:02, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Just in regards to Christgau's review: His star system is a bit weird, since it isn't out of 5, and is part of his Letter grading system.-- Weebot

How the hell is this album jazz-inspired? The only slightly jazzy track is the last one. I took that part out.

^ I have no idea when the above comment was made, but it is still wrong. The rhythm section in Pyramid Song, Knives Out and Dollars and Cents (the first two actually being the album's singles) is blatantly jazz-inspired, and You and Whose Army uses a jazz style string bass. The last track on the album (Life in a Glasshouse) is not 'slightly jazzy', it is a wholesale appropriation of New Orleans/trad jazz style, actually using well known British jazz players- Radiohead doesn't even PLAY on the track, apart from Thom Yorke singing. Besides, your or my subjective feeling about the album's jazz inspiration or lack thereof would be original research. The album was often noted as being partially jazz inspired in reviews, and this is because the band themselves described jazz, particularly Mingus, as a major influence on songs like Pyramid Song. Certain Mingus songs might not sound much like 'jazz' to you either, I'm guessing, like the ones where people sing/shout or there's handclaps (these being the inspiration). It is certainly appropriate under these circumstances for Wikipedia to note the album's otherwise widely noted jazz inspiration, without going to such an extreme as classing its genre as jazz or anything (that would only apply partly to the final track, as you said). 172.144.0.252 13:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Anyone else think hunting bears sounds like the musi on ecco the dolphin(on sega mega drive)?

Some possible additional information for the article:For the Music and Lyrics section:

The second song on Amnesiac, “Pyramid Song”, actually originated in 1999 under the name “Nothing to Fear” during the Tibetan Freedom Festival before the album was even released. This was a track they played live before ever polishing it in the recording studio. The title then changed to “Egyptian Song” and in 2001 became known as “Pyramid Song”. In 2001 Courtney Reimer of MTV News compares this track to The Beatles’ “Yesterday” because of the orchestral element of “Pyramid Song” that features quiet piano chords and similarities to a ballad.

According to writer Allan Cross, the fifth song, “I might be wrong”, is inspired by Thom Yorke’s relationship to Rachel Owens whom he considers an important positive influence in his life. In an Interview given to Cross, Yorke says about Rachel’s inspirations that “The song really comes as much from what Rachel was saying to me, like she does all the time: ‘Be proud of what you’ve done. Don’t look back and just carry on like nothing’s happened. Just let the bad stuff go’.” (cross)

For the Recording section:

A noticeable difference in style achieved by recording some tracks in a more traditional group style compared to the studio recordings on Amnesiac. Bassist Colin Greenwood describes the album as a “50-50, it's got more traditional Radiohead-type songs together with more experimental, non-lyrical based instrumental-type stuff as well, and it works as a record in its entirety, which is what we care about. We didn't want to do a double album, with stuff from today as well, because it would have been sort of the boring prog-double album.' (Schumacher-Rasmussen)

For a promotion section:

Following Radiohead’s own trend of embracing the digital format of music a program called Active Buddy was introduced to the public at the same time of Amnesiac’s release. Active Buddy delivers band content like music, videos, and exclusive tracks. A capitol Records spokesperson said people would “be able to hear the whole album, download exclusive tracks, watch videos.' (Reimer)

Modeselektor[edit]

Removed the reference about Modeselektor being an inspiration for Thom on Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors. Modeselektor made their first release one year after Amnesiac was released. - ZEROpumpkins (talk) 04:30, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Christgau reviews[edit]

I have started a discussion at Talk:OK Computer regarding the removal of the Christgau review templates. Please discuss the matter there. Papa November (talk) 23:14, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Grammatical edits, vague statements removed, prose improved[edit]

Since GeneralCheese marked my edits as vandalism, I thought I'd create this section to point a few things out:

(i) There are two sections entitled 'Reception', both focusing on the same aspect of the album in question. Only one is needed.

(ii) The sentence: 'Like Spinning Plates' was particularly noted for being a departure from the song's studio version, makes no mention of who noted it. I at least now show how it's different and provide a link to the single.

(iii) The following is not neutral, lacks citations and includes what is possibly original research: While Kid A garnered much critical attention, Amnesiac is sometimes viewed as the less accomplished of the two works.^{[citation needed]} Although the album garnered a generally positive critical reception, it has been criticised for a lack of cohesion.^{[citation needed]}Some critics and fans even refer to this fragmentation as a deliberate device used by Radiohead to escape the formula of their previous work.

(iv) The sentence: The album is something of a fan favorite; Amnesiac managed to receive universal acclaim upon release, and was ranked as one of the best albums of the year by countless publications, is a statement concerning critical reception, which is precisely what the statement under the original heading should be about. In other words: repetition. In addition, which fans, whose favourite is it, and where is the citation or poll data?

8 Outtakes[edit]

Where did the specific page for this EP go? Granted it was basically only released to radio stations and is so rare it is practically non-existent (no copies on ebay, for example), but it a least deserves a mention under 'B sides'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.31.70 (talk) 21:42, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

'Like Spinning Plates' and 'You And Whose Army'[edit]

I removed the wiki-internal link for 'Like Spinning Plates', because clicking it simply returns the viewer to the article for Amnesiac. However I'd like to note here that I think 'Like Spinning Plates' deserves its own page, as it has a pretty unique structure. I don't actually know how to do that (since it automatically redirects), so I just thought I'd note it here. 76.167.253.199 (talk) 07:54, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

'You And Whose Army' is a classic and fan favorite and receives enough attention from fans where I'm sure they'd pick it as the most deserving non single from Amnesiac to have an article.

Neither song deserves its own page as they don't meet notability requirements. They weren't singles and haven't received enough attention from reputable sources to otherwise to be significant. If you want to create a page for either song, you must provide trustworthy citations demonstrating their notability. Popcornduff (talk) 17:19, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved for astonishment and long-term significance, but it was close call. -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:34, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Amnesiac → Amnesiac (album) — the primary use and most prominent educational use of this is a person suffering from amnesia, so it should redirect there. A hatnote can be added to amnesia to cover the album. 70.24.251.71 (talk) 08:31, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Survey[edit]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with*''Support''or*''Oppose'', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

• Oppose as unnecessary precision. There is no confict between article titles and no evidence that most people searching for or linking to 'Amnesiac' (as opposed to 'amnesia') are expecting something other than the popular album - this article has a couple hundred incoming links and had 26,000 views last month, which is in line with or less than other Radiohead albums,[1][2] indicating most readers are not landing here by mistake. Any possible confusion is easily handled by the hatnote in place. Station1 (talk) 09:36, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

• Support as per the nominator. The concept of amnesiac will continue its significance, while as time goes on the album will fade in importance. I barely resist the urge to make some pun about its being forgotten. Many of the incoming links are via Template:Radiohead, which can easily be changed. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 00:43, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

• Support – Considering the principle of least astonishment, 'amnesiac' should point to the eponymous meaning, not the derived. Re the unnecessary precision argument, what WP:PRECISE actually says is, 'when a topic's.. name.. is ambiguous.. and.. not primary, that name cannot be used and so must be disambiguated.' In a worldwide context, I would think that the condition would be the primary meaning, but certainly not the artwork title, so the artwork title should be disambiguated.

Collectors Edition[edit]

There's a 2 disc Collectors Edition of Amnesiac [http://www.amazon.com/Amnesiac-Collectors-Edition-Radiohead/dp/B002BF96IY available], with 15 extra tracks on the second CD. I'd add it to the article myself but I don't know the standard format. nagualdesign (talk) 20:59, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

This should be added, yeah. Try copying/rewriting the text used on the OKC/HTTT pages. I should have done it but for some reason I haven't got round to it (same goes for rewriting the reaction section). Popcornduff (talk) 18:12, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

This has now been added. We could do with some stuff on charts/commercial performance if anyone's up to it.Popcornduff (talk) 14:21, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Infobox[edit]

• No issues

Lead[edit]

• Amnesiac is the fifth studio album by English rock band Radiohead, produced by Nigel Godrich and released in June 2001 on Parlophone.→ Opening sentence should only include information about what studio album number it is and who it is for ('Amnesiac is the fifth studio album by English rock band Radiohead.')
• Amnesiac debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart and #2 on the US Billboard 200.→ Change '#1' and #2' to 'number one' and 'number two'
• ..and released in June 2001 on Parlophone.→ Write full release date, and change 'Parlophone' to 'Parlophone Records'
• In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked the album #320 in their updated version of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.→ Change '#320' to 'number 320'
• Expand this lead section to include things like international chart information, critical reception, reissue, etc.

Recording and relation to Kid A[edit]

• Change section name to 'Background and recording'

Music and lyrics[edit]

• An extended version of the track was released as a B-side for the 'Knives Out' single.→ Verifiable?

Art and packaging[edit]

• No issues

Reception[edit]

'..many considered it inferior to its sister album Kid A.' Source? (I ask because I considered it then, and still do, as superior. Perhaps I am in the minority, but I have zero stats to back up either assertion and therefore believe the author to be imparting opinion in place of what should be only fact.)71.202.118.211 (talk)

Track listing[edit]

References[edit]

• OVERALL MESSAGE WITH THIS SECTION: Proofread these references to fix the mistakes; I listed issues I could find with the first sixteen as a guide.
• Reference 1 → Include publisher of Chicago Tribune
• Reference 3 → Include record label
• Reference 4 → 'Rolling Stone magazine' should just be 'Rolling Stone'; Publisher of magazine is needed
• Reference 6 → Include 'Viacom' as publisher

• Reference 8 → Publisher needed
• References 10, 16 → Follow archive format for references
• References 12, 14 → Follow reference formatting for written publications

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put it on hold at this time. There are a few prose and citation issues, but the biggest issue is the reference formatting. I will give you the general seven days to fix these mistakes and/or address ones you believe do not concern good article status.

Orphaned references in Amnesiac (album)[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Amnesiac (album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named 'KENT':

• From OK Computer: Kent, Nick (July 1997), 'Press your space next to mine, love', Mojo
• From Radiohead: Kent, Nick (1 June 2001). 'Happy now?'. Mojo.
• From Colin Greenwood: Kent, Nick (1 June 2001). 'Happy Now?'. MOJO. Retrieved 2007-03-26.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 06:30, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Concerns

• Skimming though the article, I'm a little concerned about WP:QUOTEFARM. Quotes are helpful to understand the viewpoint of artist, but I feel two or more per paragraph may take away from the concept of prose. Thoughts? — MusikAnimal^talk 03:27, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

  Yeah, I can see in the Background and recording and especially the Music and lyrics sections that the quotes are abundant. I'll see if I can shorten it so that there's both important info and is told through short sentences without the need of quotes. DepressedPer (talk) 04:15, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

  I've removed a few more of the quotes. Popcornduff (talk) 18:26, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

  I think we're mostly okay with the quotes. The remaining ones seem relevant and read nicely. However to me it's not very clear what Ed is trying to say in Background and recording, 'The tendency with a double album is..'. Is it that if they had done a double album, they would have omitted some tracks that instead became Amnesiac? Perhaps this one is better put it in our own words.

  Done.Popcornduff (talk) 10:56, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

• I've found the SPIN review in Google Books but I'm finding it difficult to cite it without making it awkward when viewers click on the link. DepressedPer (talk) 03:00, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

  I'm not sure if I know what you mean. Does the footnote itself look off? I recommend Apoc2400's Google Books citation tool. — MusikAnimal^talk 03:28, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

  I got it fixed. Thanks for the citation tool. DepressedPer (talk) 18:06, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

• The Commercial performance section is rather short. Maybe we could merge it in the with Reception section? — MusikAnimal^talk 03:41, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

  Good idea, done. Popcornduff (talk) 10:03, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

• From Kid A#Marketing and release it looks like there was a tour associated with the two albums. MOS:ALBUM suggests a tour section between the artwork/packaging and reception sections, but we may not have enough content to warrant that. Instead, maybe we could make note of it in the background section. — MusikAnimal^talk 05:03, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

  Actually, the Amnesiac and Kid A tours were separate, but I can't find any sources to back that up.. Popcornduff (talk) 18:57, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

  I've found a few sources that may be of help: ABC News, Rolling Stone, LA Times. If we can gather enough information, I think a dedicated section for the tour is preferred. Otherwise we need to at least make mention of the tour, and the Background section seems the most fitting. — MusikAnimal^talk 16:25, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

  A few more sources: idobi.com, Chicago Tribune. From this I can't gather when the end tour ended, but maybe there's some more relevant information in there. If after repeated attempts we are unable to verify when the end of the tour is, it's ok by me to omit it. That being said, I'm going to look over the article again in full. I think it is very close to passing :) — MusikAnimal^talk 03:07, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

• In the Music and lyrics section 'The ninth track, 'Hunting Bears' is unsourced. Picky, I know, and hopefully not a WP:BLUE-like request, but obviously we prefer everything to be verifiable. I tried to find a source describing the song to no avail :( — MusikAnimal^talk 18:33, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

  I searched around but can't find anything we can use either. I have to confess I find describing songs and music in Wikipedia extremely difficult for this reason. For example, Pyramid Song is a piano ballad, plain and simple, and that's a really useful and clear piece of information to put in the article, but it requires finding some critic or something to have used the same description. What a pain in the ass! Popcornduff (talk) 18:57, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

  I agree that it's pretty frustrating. I stroke luck and found this Google Book that covered 'Hunting Bears' in detail. Not sure if we were aware of this book already, but it seems to offer copious amounts of information on this album. Feel free to expand on the article with this newfound resource, but as far as the review is concerned I think we've covered the major aspects (3A), with exception of the tour (see above). — MusikAnimal^talk 15:52, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

• Any opposition toward using the {{album chart}} template in the Charts section? I'm happy to do this if no one else is up for it. — MusikAnimal^talk 16:30, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

  I've gone ahead and done this. — MusikAnimal^talk 02:24, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

• I noticed the lead makes mention that the lyrics and artwork 'explore themes of memory and reincarnation'. I don't see anything about memory or reincarnation in the body of the article. Are there particular songs that fit this description? Do we have a source to support this? — MusikAnimal^talk 03:16, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Really? In the current article is this quote from Thom Yorke: 'I read that the gnostics believe when we are born we are forced to forget where we have come from in order to deal with the trauma of arriving in this life. I thought this was really fascinating. It's like the river of forgetfulness.' Also Pyramid Song being inspired by 'ideas of cyclical time discussed by Stephen Hawkins and Buddhism.' Also Morning Bell/Amnesiac 'sounds like a recurring dream.' And the artwork: 'We wanted it to be a like a book. And someone made these pages in a book and it went into drawer in a desk and was forgotten about in the attic. And the attic was then forgotten.' Popcornduff (talk) 09:46, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

If you don't think all that supports the claim then just delete it from the lead, it's not critical. Popcornduff (talk) 09:54, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. Makes perfect sense.. — MusikAnimal^talk 14:55, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

• The Donwood quotes in the Art and packaging don't appear to be in the linked source. Looks like the source is the third page of the interview, and the quotes we want are probably within the other two, but Wayback Machine doesn't have a record of them :( I'm not sure what to do here, as these are direct quotes so it is fairly important to have a verifiable source. When I searched for the quote I got only other wiki's and blogs.. Is there a print copy of this interview somewhere? Or maybe other internet archiving services have records of the first two pages of the interview. — MusikAnimal^talk 15:24, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

After much digging around, I found it archived. This is now fixed. (Man, this is much tougher than any other GA I've gone through..) Popcornduff (talk) 16:53, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I am admittedly pretty strict, but per WP:MINREF the quotes must be attributed to a reliable source, GA or not. Worry not, we're about done here. Just want to do another run through. Thanks again for your patience! — MusikAnimal^talk 17:28, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

@DepressedPer:@Popcornduff: I apologize for the lengthy review. All issues appear to have been addressed, and I hereby pass this good article nomination. Congratulations! — MusikAnimal^talk 03:54, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Great! I appreciate your thoroughness. I wrote most of the current article myself a couple of years ago, so it's nice to finally see it become GA.

Now, if you're feeling brave, have a look at the Hail to the Thief page.. can we get that to FA? ;) Popcornduff (talk) 10:17, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Not sure if I am the right person to ask.. I have slim to no experience reviewing FA's. I recommend submitting for a peer review. Going to close this review as we're all done here :) Best of luck on future endeavours! — MusikAnimal^talk 18:55, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Amnesiac is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released in June 2001 by Parlophone. Recorded with producer Nigel Godrich during the same sessions as Radiohead's previous album Kid A (2000), Amnesiac incorporates similar influences of electronic music, 20th-century classical music, jazz and krautrock. Only one track was recorded after Kid A: 'Life in a Glasshouse', a collaboration with the Humphrey Lyttelton Band.

After having released no singles from Kid A, Radiohead released three from Amnesiac, accompanied by music videos: 'Pyramid Song', 'Knives Out' and the radio-only single 'I Might Be Wrong'. Amnesiac debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and number two on the US Billboard 200. By October 2008, it had sold over 900,000 copies worldwide.

Though it disappointed some hoping for a return to Radiohead's earlier rock sound, Amnesiac was named one of the best albums of 2001 by numerous publications. It was nominated for the Mercury Prize and several Grammy Awards, winning for Best Recording Package for the special edition. 'Pyramid Song' was ranked one of the best tracks of the decade by Rolling Stone, the NME and Pitchfork. In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked Amnesiac number 320 in their updated version of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Recording[edit]

Radiohead and producer Nigel Godrich recorded Amnesiac during the same sessions as its predecessor, Kid A, released in October 2000.^[4] The sessions took place from January 1999 to mid-2000 in Paris, Copenhagen, and in Radiohead's Oxfordshire studio.^[5][6] Radiohead incorporated influences from electronic music, 20th-century classical music, jazz and krautrock, using synthesisers, ondes Martenot, drum machines, strings and brass.^[4] Strings, arranged by guitarist Jonny Greenwood, were performed by the Orchestra of St John's and recorded in Dorchester Abbey, a 12th-century church close to Radiohead's studio.^[7][8] Drummer Philip Selway said the sessions had 'two frames of mind .. a tension between our old approach of all being in a room playing together and the other extreme of manufacturing music in the studio. I think Amnesiac comes out stronger in the band-arrangement way.'^[8]

The sessions produced more than 20 finished tracks. Radiohead considered releasing them as a double album, but felt the material was too dense.^[9] Singer Thom Yorke said Radiohead split the work into two albums because 'they cancel each other out as overall finished things. They come from two different places, I think .. In some weird way I think Amnesiac gives another take on Kid A, a form of explanation.'^[10] The band stressed that they saw Amnesiac not as a collection of B-sides or outtakes from Kid A but an album in its own right.^[11]

Only one track, 'Life in a Glasshouse', was recorded after Kid A was released. In late 2000, Greenwood wrote to jazz trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton to ask the Humphrey Lyttelton Band to play on the song, explaining that Radiohead were 'a bit stuck'.^[12] Greenwood told Mojo: 'We realised that we couldn't play jazz. You know, we've always been a band of great ambition with limited playing abilities.'^[13] Lyttelton agreed to help after his daughter showed him Radiohead's 1997 album OK Computer.^[12] According to Lyttelton, Radiohead 'didn't want it to sound like a slick studio production but a slightly exploratory thing of people playing as if they didn't have it all planned out in advance'.^[12] The song was recorded over a seven-hour session, and left Lyttelton exhausted: 'I detected some sort of eye-rolling at the start of the session, as if to say we were miles apart. They went through quite a few nervous breakdowns during the course of it all, just through trying to explain to us all what they wanted.'^[12]

Music and lyrics[edit]

—Songwriter Thom Yorke^[14]

Amnesiac incorporates experimental rock,^[15]electronica,^[16] and alternative rock.^[17] Bassist Colin Greenwood said it had 'more traditional Radiohead-type songs together with more experimental, non-lyrical based instrumental-type stuff as well'.^[18] 'Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box' is an electronic song built from compressedloops,^[19] with vocals manipulated with the pitch-correcting software Auto-Tune to create a 'nasal, depersonalised sound'.^[4]

'Pyramid Song' was inspired by the Charles Mingus song 'Freedom',^[20] with lyrics inspired by an exhibition of ancient Egyptian underworld art Yorke attended while the band was recording in Copenhagen^[11] and ideas of cyclical time discussed by Stephen Hawking and Buddhism.^[11]Selway said the song 'ran counter to what had come before in Radiohead in lots of ways .. The constituent parts are all quite simple, but I think the way that they then blend gives real depth to the song.'^[21]

'Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors', an electronic track, was built on a Roland MC-505groovebox.^[19] It incorporates loops recorded in the OK Computer sessions,^[19] including elements of a version of 'True Love Waits',^[22] a song Radiohead did not complete until their ninth album, A Moon Shaped Pool (2016).^[23] The band disabled the erase heads on the tape recorders so that the tape repeatedly recorded over itself, creating a 'ghostly' loop.^[19] They used Auto-Tune to process Yorke's speech into melody; according to Yorke, the software 'desperately tries to search for the music in your speech, and produces notes at random. If you've assigned it a key, you've got music.'^[4]

Yorke said 'You and Whose Army?' was 'about someone who is elected into power by people and who then blatantly betrays them – just like Blair did'.^[20] Attempting to capture the 'soft, warm, proto-doowop sound' of the 1940s harmony group the Ink Spots, Radiohead muffled microphones with eggboxes and used the ondes Martenot's resonating palme diffuseur loudspeaker to treat the vocals.^[4]

'I Might Be Wrong' combines a 'venomous' guitar riff with a 'trance-like metallic beat'. Colin Greenwood's bassline was inspired by Chic bassist Bernard Edwards.^[20] The lyric 'never look back' came from advice given to Yorke by his partner, Rachel Owen: 'Be proud of what you've done. Don't look back and just carry on like nothing's happened. Just let the bad stuff go.'^[20] According to a studio diary kept by guitarist Ed O'Brien, 'Knives Out' took 373 days to record, 'a ridiculously long gestation period for any song.'^[5] It was influenced by the guitar work of Johnny Marr of the Smiths.^[24]

'Morning Bell/Amnesiac' is an alternative version of 'Morning Bell' from Kid A. O'Brien said that Radiohead often record and abandon different versions of songs, but that this version was 'strong enough to bear hearing again'.^[25] Yorke wrote that it was included 'because it came from such a different place from the other version. Because we only found it again by accident after having forgotten about it. Because it sounds like a recurring dream. It felt right.'^[26]

'Dollars and Cents' was edited down from an eleven-minute jam, using an editing approach inspired by krautrock band Can.^[4] Colin Greenwood played a record by jazz musician Alice Coltrane over the recording, inspiring his brother Jonny to write a 'Coltrane-style' string arrangement.^[19] Yorke said the lyrics were 'gibberish', but inspired by the notion that 'people are basically just pixels on a screen, unknowingly serving this higher power which is manipulative and destructive'.^[20]

'Hunting Bears' is a short instrumental on electric guitar and synthesiser.^[27] 'Like Spinning Plates' was constructed from components of another song, 'I Will', which Radiohead had tried to record in the same sessions. Unsatisfied with the results, which Yorke described as 'dodgy Kraftwerk',^[28] the band reversed the recording and used it to create a new track. Yorke said: 'We'd turned the tape around, and I was in another room, heard the vocal melody coming backwards, and thought, 'That's miles better than the right way round', then spent the rest of the night trying to learn the melody.'^[4] Yorke sang the lyrics backwards; this recording was in turn reversed, creating vocals with lyrics that sound reversed.^[19] 'I Will' was released in a new arrangement on Radiohead's subsequent album Hail to the Thief (2003).^[29]

'Life in a Glasshouse' features jazz band the Humphrey Lyttelton Band. After listening to a demo of the song, trumpeter and bandleader Humphrey Lyttelton suggested arranging it in a New Orleans jazz funeral style.^[30] He described the song as starting 'with me doing a sort of ad-libbed, bluesy, minor-key meandering, then it gradually gets so that we're sort of playing real wild, primitive, New Orleans blues stuff'.^[12] The lyrics were inspired by a news story Yorke read of a celebrity's wife so harassed by paparazzi that she papered her house windows with their photographs.^[20]

Artwork and packaging[edit]

Amnesiac's cover art was created by Yorke and longtime Radiohead collaborator Stanley Donwood.^[31] It depicts a weeping minotaur of Greek mythology on the cover of a book.^[32] Donwood said the artwork was inspired by 'taking the train to London, getting lost and taking notes'. Likening London to the mythological labyrinth, he saw the city as 'an imaginary prison, a place where you can walk around and you are the Minotaur of London, we are all the monsters, we are all half-human, half-beast'.^[32]

Donwood also designed a special edition package with a hardback CD case in the style of a mislaid library book. He imagined that 'someone made these pages in a book and it went into drawer in a desk and was forgotten about in the attic .. And visually and musically the album is about finding the book and opening the pages.'^[32] The special edition won a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package at the 44th Grammy Awards.^[33]

Promotion and tour[edit]

Radiohead announced Amnesiac on their website in January 2001, three months after the release of Kid A.^[34] After having released no singles from Kid A,^[8] Radiohead released three from Amnesiac: 'Pyramid Song' in May,^[35] followed by 'I Might Be Wrong' (radio only) in June^[36] and 'Knives Out' in July,^[37] backed by music videos.^[8] In June 2001, Radiohead began the Amnesiac tour, incorporating their first North American tour in three years.^[38] Recordings from the Kid A and Amnesiac tours are included on the EP I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings, released in November 2001.^[27]

Sales[edit]

Amnesiac debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with sales of 231,000, surpassing Radiohead's 207,000 first-week sales of Kid A.^[39] It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for shipments of 100,000 copies across Japan.^[40] By October 2008, Amnesiac had sold over 900,000 copies worldwide.^[41]

Reception[edit]

After Radiohead's previous album, Kid A, had divided listeners, many hoped for a return to their earlier rock sound for Amnesiac.^[53][48]Pitchfork wrote that many wanted another album similar to Radiohead's 1995 album The Bends.^[54] The Guardian titled its review 'Relax: it's nothing like Kid A'.^[53] However, Rolling Stone saw it as a further distancing from Radiohead's earlier, 'Britpop-like' style,^[50] and Pitchfork found that 'Amnesiac is about as close to The Bends as Miss Cleo is to Jamaican'.^[48]Stylus critic Mike Powell wrote that although Amnesiac was 'slightly more straightforward' than Kid A, it 'solidified the postmillennial model of Radiohead: less songs and more atmosphere, more eclectic and electronic, more paranoid, more threatening, more sublime'.^[55]

Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times felt that Amnesiac, compared to Kid A, was 'a richer, more engaging record, its austerity and troubled vision enriched by a rousing of the human spirit'.^[46] The Guardian named Amnesiac 'CD of the week'.^[53] Critic Alex Petridis, who had disliked Kid A, felt Amnesiac was superior, writing that it 'strikes a cunning and rewarding balance between experimentation and quality control. It's hardly easy to digest but nor is it impossible to swallow.'^[53] He criticised the electronic tracks 'Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors' and 'Like Spinning Plates' as self-indulgent, but felt they were 'overshadowed by haunting musical shifts and unconventional melodies'.^[53]

Several critics felt Amnesiac was less cohesive than Kid A. AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that it 'often plays as a hodgepodge', and that the albums 'clearly derive from the same source and have the same flaws .. the division only makes the two records seem unfocused, even if the best of both records is quite stunning'.^[43]Pitchfork wrote that 'the questionable sequencing of Amnesiac does little to hush the argument that the record is merely a thinly veiled B-sides compilation', though its 'highlights were undeniably worth the wait, and easily overcome its occasional patchiness'.^[48]Stylus critic Powell wrote that 'it stands as an excellent disc', but was not as 'exploratory or interesting' as Kid A.^[55]

Accolades[edit]

Several publications named Amnesiac one of the best albums of 2001, including Q,^[56]The Wire,^[57]Rolling Stone,^[58]Kludge,^[59] the Village Voice, Pazz and Jop,^[60] the Los Angeles Times, and Alternative Press.^[61] In 2005, Stylus named it the best album of the decade that far.^[55] In 2009, Pitchfork ranked Amnesiac the 34th best album of the 2000s^[62] and Rolling Stone ranked it the 25th.^[63] It is included in the 2005 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die,^[64] and in 2012, Rolling Stone included it at number 320 in its updated list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.^[65]

Amnesiac was nominated for the 2001 Mercury Music Prize, losing to PJ Harvey's Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, for which Yorke provided guest vocals.^[66] It was the fourth consecutive Radiohead album nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album,^[67] and the special edition won a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package in the 44thGrammy Awards.^[33] 'Pyramid Song' was ranked one of the best tracks of the decade by Rolling Stone,^[68] the NME^[69] and Pitchfork.^[70]

Reissues[edit]

After a period of being out of print on vinyl, EMI reissued a double LP of Amnesiac on 19 August 2008 along with Kid A, Hail to the Thief and OK Computer as part of the 'From the Capitol Vaults' series.^[71]

On 31 August 2009, EMI reissued Amnesiac in a two-CD 'Collector's Edition' and a 'Special Collector's Edition' containing an additional DVD. The first CD contains the original studio album; the second CD collects B-sides from Amnesiac singles and live performances; the DVD contains music videos and a live television performance. Radiohead, who left EMI in 2007,^[72] had no input into the reissue and the music was not remastered.^[73] In Pitchfork's review of the reissue, Scott Plagenhoef wrote: 'More than Kid A – and maybe more than any other LP of its time – Amnesiac is the kickoff of a messy, rewarding era .. disconnected, self-aware, tense, eclectic, head-turning – an overload of good ideas inhibited by rules, restrictions, and conventional wisdom.'^[74]

The 'Collector's Editions' were discontinued after Radiohead's back catalogue was transferred to XL Recordings in 2016.^[75] In May 2016, XL reissued Radiohead's back catalogue on vinyl, including Amnesiac.^[76]
