Amazon.com's Best of 2001:
More song-driven and acoustic than Kid A, Radiohead's Amnesiac isn't quite 'Kid B,' but it is unquestionably cut from the same far-out cloth, as the band revels in fascinating quirks and abject nihilism. It's also the first time in Radiohead's career that a new record hasn't meant a complete shift in artistic priorities. Surely, however, regardless of which was released first, they both deserve recognition; after all, Amnesiac, like Kid A, is an amazing piece of work.
Only lightly augmented with electronics, songs like 'You and Whose Army?' and 'I Might Be Wrong' almost sound like they came from a typical five-piece rock band. You may even believe the band still employs a guitarist after hearing Jonny Greenwood's wistful surf-guitar lead on 'Knives Out' or his subtle but noticeable contributions to the anticapitalist rant 'Dollars and Cents.' But inevitably, the band continually shifts gears, moving into Boards of Canada territory on 'Like Spinning Plates' and delivering dark, bass-laden oddities like 'Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors,' a fuzzed-out piece of avant-garde techno that could just as easily be on an Autechre or Aphex Twin record. The song's half-sung, half-spoken vocal was laid down by either a heavily distorted Thom Yorke or, just perhaps, a loquacious microwave oven. Either way, the music always has momentum, regardless of whether propelled by man or appliance. Radiohead as a band understand how to make rock interesting again, and in the end, that's all they set out to do when they recorded Amnesiac, as well as Kid A. It's more than can be said for the bad frat-punk, teen-pop and soulless techno that currently rules the charts, and for that alone, Radiohead's astonishing exploration of 21st-century anguish deserves credit. --Matthew Cooke
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - I'm a reasonable man; get off my case.
While Radiohead's 2000 album Kid A was already a shocking experience, nothing could have possible prepared fans for what would proceed the album in only a year, the vastly obscure Amnesiac. Written as a parallels to one another, the two albums fit together like pieces of an obscure and disturbing, yet ultimately ingenious puzzle. Kid A had it's fair share of uplifting moments throughout the paranoia and gloom, but Amnesiac pulled no punches, and searched for an answer in the same vein as Kid A. Both ... Read More
Rating: - WOW! AMAZINGAMAZINGAMAZING.
I rarely give ANY product this kind of review - but Amnesiac is one of those rare CD's that can be listened to in entirity. Moody, extremely layered, sad, whistful.
Listen to it once and you will be hooked.
Rating: - INCREDIBLE!

LIKE SPINNING PLATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: - The Art of Despair
Rock music does a lot of things extremely well, but one emotion that it seems to have difficulty capturing is despair.I'm not talking about the blues.The blues involves reveling, often in a kind of self-satisfied way, about one's awareness of how badly one's life is going.There's nothing smug or self-satisfied about despair: it is a prelude to the death of hope, the reaching of a point from which one can't "come back.""Amnesiac" captures despair better than just about any rock album I can think ...

Rating: - Maybe not for blasting out your car stereo...
I remember listening to this album while reading at the library on cold winter days somewhere in upstate New York when the sun did not shine (which was often).These songs have a haunted feel that perhaps matched my surroundings and my mood.I agree that this album is maybe not right for every single occasion, but I feel I have to defend some songs on this album that have been pounded on by others.In my opinion, this is one of the best albums in terms of interesting music that you can actually enjoy ...
