History Music / Amnesiac

Lead singer Thom Yorke described it as "another take on Kid A, a form of explanation". Basically, the album could be considered as a "smoother version" of ''Kid A''. It's just as, if not more, experimental than its predecesssor too, having influences of {{Jazz}}, {{Krautrock}}, ElectronicMusic, and ClassicalMusic.

* BookEnds: The album's finale, "Life in a Glasshouse", has the line "packed like frozen food and battery hens", which possibly nods back to the album's opener, "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box".

* GenreRoulette: '''Oh yes.''' It's got electronica ("Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box", "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors", "Like Spinning Plates"), rock ("I Might Be Wrong", "Knives Out"), jazz (ranging from modern styles like the piano-driven "You And Whose Army?" and the cool jazz-esque "Dollars and Cents" to a New Orleans-style dirge in "Life in a Glasshouse"; arguably the Charles Mingus-influenced "Pyramid Song" also counts), and some things that don't quite fit into any genre.

* InheritedIlliteracyTitle: "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box" stemmed from some typos on Thom's behalf that the band felt were fitting to the song, so they left them in.

* XtremeKoolLetterz: It's subtle, but "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box". It actually stemmed from a typo by Thom, but due to it fitting the band decided to ThrowItIn.

''Amnesiac'' is the fifth studio album by English rock band Music/{{Radiohead}}. Released in 2001, it's considered as sort of a companion piece to ''Music/KidA'', the previous album released in 2000. This new record had big shoes to fill, as ''Kid A'' had all of the potential of being an extremely ToughActToFollow, considering it's hailed to this day as one of the greatest albums of the 2000s and of all time.

It received good reception, winning the UsefulNotes/GrammyAward for Best Recording Package and getting the #320 spot on ''Magazine/RollingStone''[='=]s 2012-updated [[Music/RollingStone500GreatestAlbumsOfAllTime "500 greatest albums"]] list. Despite this, it was ultimately seen as an inferior follow-up to ''Kid A''.

It's also good as a stand alone album too, as the album was met with good reception by critics. The singles are "Pyramid Song", "I Might Be Wrong", and "Knives Out".

* ArousedByTheirVoice: In "The Amazing Sounds of Orgy", Thom sings in a pretty sensual way.

* InTheStyleOf: Most of "You and Whose Army" was modeled after the sound of jazz vocal group the Ink Spots.

* RearrangeTheSong: The band re-record "Morning Bell" from ''Music/KidA'' with more emphasis on atmospherics as opposed to rhythm.
* SingingVoiceDissonance: This is on many of the tracks, even Thom said himself that he doesn't like how "pretty" his voice sounds. For instance, "Knives Out" is about cannibalism, and his voice sounds quite soft.

* XtremelyKoolLetterz: It's subtle, but "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box".
