Song Listing
In 2001, around the time that his first child was born, Thom Yorke took the habit of spending the early evenings driving alone around the fields and by-ways surrounding his home just as dusk was drawing in. ""I've got one of these cars with the natty blue headlights and the colours of the headlights got mixed in with the wild-life running into the bushes. The twilight invoked a dream-state within me. It's incredibly beautiful where we live but I used to listen to this Penderecki tune that's really ominous and scary and I'd just get this perverse sense of foreboding.""
These solitary drives helped inspire the ideas that bolster up much of what would eventually become Radiohead's 6th album. ""I wrote a lot of stuff quickly: pages and pages of notes that seemed pretty incoherent at first. Most of it was taken from the radio because - suddenly being a parent - I'd be confronted by the radio giving a news report every hour of the day. It was during the Afghan war and it would ring bells in my head. I'd sit there making mad lists on pieces of paper of the people in the public eye that I had it in for."" (laughs)."

"[Amnesiac] By resolutely forgetting formula, Radiohead proves itself all the more relevant with Amnesiac. Billboard
"[Hail] From a technical standpoint, it's astounding... Filter
"[Kid] ...the sound of a band, and its leader, losing faith in themselves, destroying themselves, and subsequently rebuilding a perfect entity. Pitchfork
"[Might] These eight tracks positively bristle with energy and exuberance. PopMatters
"[Might] Its charms are bound up with the subtle pleasures of listening to these songs anew and re-understanding their make-up. Q Magazine
"[Kid] ...a vital work. Anyone remotely interested in contemporary music should listen to it at least once. The Wire
"[Amnesiac] A sonic extravaganza for effects-loving headphone devotees...unforgettable... Wall of Sound

Issued during late 2007, just as Radiohead independently released IN RAINBOWS in groundbreaking pay-what-you-will format, this seven-disc EMI box set compiles all previous full-length albums by the revered British art-rock band. Ranging from 1993 to `03, the collection tracks the timeline of the group's artistic progression, featuring the formative PABLO HONEY and its majestic follow-up, THE BENDS, along with the ambitious OK COMPUTER, the challenging KID A, and subsequent like-minded outings. Although HONEY and the I MIGHT BE WRONG live recording aren't top-shelf Radiohead, the set's other albums are essential for true fans, many of whom already own the discs individually. For anyone looking to plumb the depths of Radiohead's back catalogue in earnest, however, the anthology is a fitting form of full immersion. |
