Worst song is everything that isn't Everything in Its Right Place, How to Disappear, Optimistic, and Idioteque



Morning Bell from Amnesiac is heartbreaking

Idioteque is the best song, not worst. Brutal ratings. Not surprised some people don’t like this though honestly, as much as I love it.

It's not that it's too experimental necessarily (although it's certainly the case for like The National Anthem which desperately needed restraint) but a lot of the album is the band wearing their influences on their sleeve and making a complete blender/mess with it



And yeah Idioteque is probably Radiohead's best song

how is National Anthem too experimental? because there's a horn section where you'd otherwise expect a guitar solo? that part was a bit "out there" for me too when I first got this but man the song "slaps"

also as one of the two or three more overtly energetic songs on the record, restraint is the last thing it needed

National Anthem is the climax of the first 3 weird songs on here that test the listeners’ resolve before the amazing How To Disappear, one of the best songs of the 2000s. For that purpose it works, even tho it’s not that pleasant to listen to.

National Anthem is perfect, it's totally manic after which How To Disappear Completely serves as a depressed counterpoint. Kinda bipolar, first the outburst and then the melancholy ... The two songs support each other's impact.



On top of that, National Anthem could be seen as a kind of foreshadowing to Amnesiac, with this album leaving the "cold" atmosphere of this album to enter that claustrophobic atmosphere of that one for one song

Most of this is pretty claustrophobic, not just The National Anthem. Claustrophobic, but at the same time distant, cold, and paranoid.

Hm, I think the sound of this is very open and "wide" for the most part. Of course, it's very stressful nonetheless. Idioteque is one of the most stressful songs ever (and one of the best)

That’s true, most of this is a sprawling, diverse listen.

I agree with Talons, claustrophobic is a great way to describe how I feel about this album.
