Rating: THE REVIEW
I drown every pressure in the rain, let the music of Amnesiac crawl to my most recondite neurons.
I drift in an ocean of sounds that swim straight to the heart of my perceptions, flooding them with sublime melancholy.
Played as if made of fog, it cradles me towards new points of view of reality, teaches me that emptiness is a constant need, leaves me oblique to reflect on the spirals of smoke that my cigarette leaves behind.
Walking on rain-drenched streets, I myself turn into water and let snippets of the absolute like "Pyramid Song" and "Knives Out" guide me into rarefied spaces, where the only need is not to grasp, not to perceive.
Placid yet resolute in the continuous denial of escape routes, claustrophobic like an autumn evening in a deserted park, dirty with unfulfilled necessities.
I limp and stagger through "You And Whose Army?", "I Might Be Wrong" and "Dollars And Cents", leaning here and there on the wet trunks of hazy bass loops and finally, lost, I collapse on the bench of the last three tracks, undone and exhausted.
Submerged world, each track decrees the victory of obliqueness, of non-lucidity.
To be listened to alone, sad, drunk and tremendously alive.

This album is the greatest blend of masterpieces and nonsense put together.
Radiohead experimented so much they ended up being strangled by these innovations or got too caught up in '70s jazz.
By Moretto
The album does not give the impression of being a collection of 'leftovers'.
Amnesiac... strikes against the rhetoric of certain hackneyed rock through their continued and never self-serving desire for experimentation.
By myork
We are soon “squeezed like sardines in a can of sounds.”
If these are the things that, as Thom says, “you forget and then remember again,” then they will remain forever clouded in the minds of our beloved Radiohead.
By FregaUnCazzo
Radiohead offers us a break with ‘Knives Out,’ a simple melody filled with emotions; another excellent example of alt-pop.
‘Amnesiac’ thus proves to be more than a step forward compared to ‘Kid A’; there are more ideas, more confidence in their means.
