This EP/comp went out of print a while ago, but the songs within can still be heard on the singles for "Knives Out" and "Pyramid Song". Amnesiac is often unfairly categorized as the B-sides to Kid A, and 8 Outtakes From Amnesiac are truly the B-sides to Amnesiac. A cynical person would call them throwaways from the throwaways. That doesn't quite do it justice, though this does unfortunately have a few clunkers. The first three songs, "Cuttooth", "Worrywort", and "Fog", are all really good tracks, with "Cuttooth" in particular harkening back to their alt-rock days. The next four range from decent enough to very uneventful, but the full version of "Life In A Glass House" is great, and would still have been one of the better songs on Amnesiac even with the changes. Decent stuff, but you're really going to listen for those first three tracks.
