I know everyone has their own opinion, but I genuinely can't imagine not being moved by Pyramid Song. Beautiful song with some of Thom's finest lyrical work.
Ngl I feel bad for you about not liking pyramid song. It’s one of my favorite radiohead songs, it has such an amazing atmosphere and feel to it imo. I hope it grows on you just so you can experience it fully lol. Great video!
You start to realize just how clever the song is when you try to feel the time signature. Like people love to talk about the "out of sync" signature of Videotape but realistically as a listener you're meant to hear it in 4/4 without noticing. Not so here.
I personally love Amnesiac. I feel like the incompleteness adds to the claustrophobic nerve-wracking feeling of the album. It doesn't come off as a B-side to me but rather that Kid-A and Amnesiac both come from two different places in someone's mind at the same time. Kid A was filled with worry and criticality and a beautiful confusion, whereas Amnesiac is just hopelessness and an underlying empty depression. This is in my top 3 but I still respect your opinion
I like to think like this: Kid A is cold snowy mountain peaks (like the cover) Amnesiac is dry empty desert They compliment each other really well if you think about 'em like this
Pyramid Song isn’t popular for it’s rhythmic progression, it’s the hauntingly powerful and melancholy message it conveys that sticks with you. It was never my favourite to begin with but it’s certainly not overrated. In the context of the Amnesiac track-list, it is a bit out of place, but if you take it for what it is without the album, it really is one of Radiohead’s finest moments. The strings, the drums, the chords, the vocals, it’s all so meticulously crafted. Jonny adds the crazy soundscapes in behind, which makes it all the more dramatic and euphoric. The lyrics are beautiful too; sincerely poetic and interpretable. I have a feeling you’ll come back to it one day with a new appreciation for it
I love Pulk/Pull 🥺 I know it's monotonous but I actually love it. The killer beat alone convinces me but also the song feels like a trance, it has cool ambient, creepy vocals and mysterious lyrics - love it. Also it's great for gym
i despise the original pulk/pull, BUT there’s a version of it on Kid Amnesiac that has the lyrics of True Love Waits, and that version is so much better
I highly recommend listening to their live album that came after Amnesiac, there's renditions of particular songs that really change how they sound that I think it's worth at least doing a quick listen to. Plus a reminder of where True Love Waits was back then is worth it for AMSP tbh
Hunting Bears is a really interesting song, actually. It's written in Free Time, which means that it doesn't stick to a steady pulse or time signature. Almost no modern mainstream music is written this way, and it gives Hunting Bears a very specific, ethereal, floating feeling that is unique in this day and age. Losing it's rhythmic structure makes it feel like more of a chordal experience than an actual song, which some people will strongly dislike, but I think it's absolutely haunting; it was based off of a creepy, strange comic about a group of heavily genetically modified bears, and I can honestly see that influence when I listen for it.
I like it a lot, feel like it's one that really grows on you. I've done one in free time myself, a piano/vocal piece that covers a lot of octaves and makes use of harplike cascades. It's a lovely time signiature (or lack of one if being pedantic). Definitely evokes a cinematic feel. It's like you're got no gravity or perspective but music's still happening. First time I'm hearing what it's called when you do that, so that's neat! :D
Life in a Glasshouse is one of my favorite Radiohead tracks. It’s just so much different than the other stuff. Also, you need to check out the I Might Be Wrong-Live album that came out the same year as this. I Might Be Wrong (the song) is awesome live and I really enjoy the live version of Like Spinning Plates.
No it literally is the songs that were not used after original plans to make Kid A a double album were scrapped because they thought it might be too dense. They decided to release this after all as its own album.
Yeah, it's not a b-sides album. They wanted to release it as one double album but decided it'd be easier to digest as two. They've gone on record saying Pyramid Song is one of their best songs and I don't see them making it a b-side.
@@Bellas61 ngl I didn't notice that was even in there! at the time I saw that ep. I hadn't gotten into Radiohead yet... and after a quick search I'm also seeing You and Whose Army was in there and I'm now understanding what you meant in the original comment haha. Damn one more reason to love Peaky Blinders.
I'm in the minority in actually thinking this record is better than Kid A. Life In A Glass House is my favorite song the band has ever done. Not only is it unlike anything they've done up to that point but it's such an outlier on their entire discography. It's such an incredible way to enclose the album as the most hectic lounge possible, somewhere you'd see Tom Waits pissing in the corner and not double-take at it.
The reason you found Knives Out to be so similar to Paranoid Android is because the chord progressions are almost identical, literally starting on the exact same chord.
Pulk/Pull is just a scrapped version of True Love Waits from the Kid A era. You can actually merge it with the album version of TLW and it fits perfectly on top of it. They used to perform a similar version live with Jonny manipulating Thom's vocals.
i cannot wait for the hail to the thief reaction. incredible album and also pretty underappreciated. its up there with okc, kid a and in rainbows for me.
Yes it took me years to figure it out but I feel it is without a doubt their most underrated album most of the songs I was not crazy about when I first heard it I really like now.
been waiting for this one, Amnesiac is my fav Radiohead album :)) i honestly really like the genre whiplash between nearly every song, just bc of the whole concept of this album and Kid A together it really fits
Dollars and Cents is one of my favorite Radiohead songs ever and it's so underrated. Its like they attempt to do post-punk without even trying; channeling the style without ripping off a band from that genre. The lyrics are master-class too, with it focuses on capitalism and paranoia that went back to OK Computer. And the string arrangements are *chef kiss* fantastic.
Absolutely love that comparison to the phases of Everywhere at the End of Time, that was exactly what I thought relistening to Radiohead's discography last year.
Holy shit, morning bell is waking up 5 times at night is the perfect analogy. Fuckin wake up and you're just creeped out, annoyed, and every shadow looks menacing.
Amnesiac is the best Radiohead album in my opinion. I love the experimental and jazzy sounds found throughout the album. It feels like a war, with the intro sounding like a battlefield and the second song sounding like the mental state of a soldier. Then "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" comes on and it feels like a nuclear bomb went off. From there, the music tells the story of the survivors and how they feel and cope with their situation. The song "Hunting Bears" sounds extremely barren and listening to it takes me to an empty nuclear landscape, looking somewhat like the album cover mixed with Kid A's cover only without the mountains. Spinning plates is a metaphor for coming full circle, as the survivors are now in somewhat of a stone age, without any modern equipment. "Life In A Glass House" can be seen as either a mass suicide or humanity prevailing and restarting. Respect your opinion regardless, get well soon! Also "dollard" lol.
I think I love pyramid song because I have memories attached to it. I used to see the music video on Rage when I was growing up and it would depress the shit out of me, make me question my whole life… I don’t know what it is. I avoided the track throughout all my teenage years for this reason. As an adult I’ve accepted my life means nothing in the grand scheme of things and I can enjoy the track without having a panic attack lmao. While I do agree it’s not close to being one of their best tracks, I love it for those other reasons. Damn, Radiohead.
I can understand finding the scattered nature of the track list to be not great. Honestly though I think that this is actually Kid A's better personally I find the experimentation and production on amnesiac to be a lot more interesting and fun to listen to. Granted amnesiac doesn't have a track as great as idioteque.
Other than The Bends this is my favorite Radiohead album. I love that they’re complete opposites. The Bends is their warmest most organic sounding record and Amnesiac their coldest and artificial. My favorite songs from them are Fake Plastic Trees and Like Spinning Plates respectively so that contrast is interesting to me.
As a long time fan of Radiohead, knowing practically all of their material (including unreleased stuff, b-sides, and shit like that) Pyramid Song is definitely at among my fav RH songs.
pulk/pull is so good tho... I didn't like it at first, and the lyrics are wack but I love how delirious it is, and watching out for the "there are trapdoors..........which you can't come back from" is so mesmerising. it and pyramid song have grown on me so much
Like Spinning Plates is in my top 3 Radiohead songs. Just feels horrifying but so sad. Also Life in a Glasshouse is the most underrated Radiohead song. That outro is so chaotically anthemic. I don’t know how it works so well.
I am SO glad to finally see you react not only to my favorite Radiohead album but also one you had yet to hear! This was everything I could have asked for but I do believe as time goes on, Pyramid Song might still grow on you. Are you gonna do one of these for the bonus tracks and B-sides on OKNOTOK? Would be cool to see, especially wanna know how you feel abt Man O War
Pyramid song has some of the best environmental stuff radiohead has ever done, the chord progression is fantastic and the drumming is excellent. It’s such an emotional piece and I genuinely can’t fathom how you don’t like it?
I might be wrong, knives out and life in a glasshouse are the stand outs to me on this album, which I felt to be superior to Kid-A some time ago, but as I dived a little bit more into them I kind of changed my mind... I found Kid-A to be a quite hard album to get into at first, but once you do it... It's just unbeatable.
to me, pyramid song = taking in the majesty of a pyramid from the outside, pulk/pull = navigating the convoluted halls and rooms inside said pyramid. those are the vibes i get and why i perceive them as a pair
I love this album’s version of Morning Bell more than the one on Kid A. It has a more serious feel to it, especially because it decided to strip away the groove and unique time signature the original one had. This version of the song is NOT playing around, it sounds like something that would be used in some 2006 horror/thriller movie trailer and I think it’s really great as a result of that. And it certainly puts this album together nicely.
IThanks for reviewing this album . One of my favorite of the older RadioHead albums. Cut the lights off when you hear this album ! love the almost minimal zoned out production . I don't think there has to be a lotta work behind something to be good . I think the album progresses . The first track is not just an intro it sets the toned -down vibe the entire album carries . The microtoned singing is enhanced by the same pitches instrumentally -there is great stuff . I love it . I'm a musician that always helps when you make stuff .There is an amazing cover of KidA by that top 40 cute guitarist -it's actually more beguiling than the original - how often can you say that .
I know everyone has their own opinion, but I genuinely can't imagine not being moved by Pyramid Song. Beautiful song with some of Thom's finest lyrical work.
Yes Pyramid song is absolutley beautiful and just so good I cant believe that he didnt care for it.

Pull/Pulk Revolving doors is best with headphones. The beat messages your ears
I'd say that Amnesiac is best enjoyed 4am in the morning, sleep-deprived and after an ugly cry
You and whose army has one of the most spacey piano parts for me it's hard to describe when that breakdown hits like some otherworldly momentum
The vocals on 'I might be wrong' are absolute perfection, Brad. Give it a few more listens, bro. Also, yes 'Pyramid song' is a grower for sure ✌
I think this album is pretty unique in radiohead's discography, it might not be the best, but it has some of their most interesting songs. I like it.

They are very close for me too. Can't choose
I adore life in a glass house, but Kid A has much better consistency, as well as overall catalogue.
I agree, I'd say it's their best album
Yea Life in a Glasshouse is too good for this album to be labeled "B Sides"

😮 love you brad, hope we see more of you.. 🐾
I might be wrong, knives out and life in a glasshouse are the stand outs to me on this album, which I felt to be superior to Kid-A some time ago, but as I dived a little bit more into them I kind of changed my mind... I found Kid-A to be a quite hard album to get into at first, but once you do it... It's just unbeatable.
to me, pyramid song = taking in the majesty of a pyramid from the outside, pulk/pull = navigating the convoluted halls and rooms inside said pyramid. those are the vibes i get and why i perceive them as a pair
the guy who sings on this album kinda sounds like some sort of creep or weirdo ngl
I love this album’s version of Morning Bell more than the one on Kid A. It has a more serious feel to it, especially because it decided to strip away the groove and unique time signature the original one had. This version of the song is NOT playing around, it sounds like something that would be used in some 2006 horror/thriller movie trailer and I think it’s really great as a result of that. And it certainly puts this album together nicely.
Yesss!! Can’t wait to see what you think of Hail to the Thief
Oh boy oh man
I Might Be Wrong are my favourite track by them
Tbh the radiohead reactions are kinda boring like I already know you're gonna love it
Pyramid Song is probably the best thing they’ve ever written.
I agree but I wasn't such a huge fan of it the first few times I heard it, it took a couple years for me to really understand and appreciate it.
It’s good but not best

IThanks for reviewing this album . One of my favorite of the older RadioHead albums. Cut the lights off when you hear this album ! love the almost minimal zoned out production . I don't think there has to be a lotta work behind something to be good . I think the album progresses . The first track is not just an intro it sets the toned -down vibe the entire album carries . The microtoned singing is enhanced by the same pitches instrumentally -there is great stuff . I love it . I'm a musician that always helps when you make stuff .There is an amazing cover of KidA by that top 40 cute guitarist -it's actually more beguiling than the original - how often can you say that .
"Like Spinning plates" is their "I will" song from hail to the Thief but reversed.
Can you do this series for Kanye west ?
