But Glasshouse is the best song here.

"life in a glasshouse" isn't bad but definitely a bit glib even though I dont really know what glib means. like it's a striking/competent rendering of new orleans jazz or whatever, and music doesnt have to have any "point" to it other than the generation of aural pleasure, but part of me cant shake that it feels a bit like a song entirely enclosed in quotation marks or something. its good but hard to take seriously. never was a fan of "like spinning plates," "hunting bears," "dollars and cents," "i might be wrong," or "pulk/pull revolving doors". the version of "morning bell" is vastly inferior to the one on KID A. in fact honestly "pyramid song" is the only great song here strong 3-light 3.5 idk guys

Pyramid Song is my second favorite here. It’s a good, but inconsistent album imo.

Packt, Pyramid, IMBW, Knives Out and Dollars & Cents are my top 5 here

You & Whose Army is so good too tho

Like Spinning Plates thrives as a live song, imo

You & Whose Army? is the 'Exit Music' of Amnesiac. A "build-up" song, if you will, and a pretty tremendous one at that.

That release is so gorgeous. Love that build-up effect yeah, they're good at that.

This rebellion against Glasshouse is perplexing to say the least. Revisiting this the other day made me realise there’s more essential material here than I’d remembered, but Glasshouse and Pyramid Song are still my 1-2. If that makes me a basic bitch I don’t care.

Oh man, now I feel guilty for my playful dig in the other thread.

Glasshouse is just perfect, honestly it might be my favorite Radiohead closing track (Street Spirit is the competitor)

these Radiohead bumps just remind me of how long ago I listened to a full Radiohead album. this has to be rectified.

I don't listen to their full albums too often nowadays either tbh - I've listened to them all so many times that they pretty much just fade into the background unless I'm either really in the mood or am paying close attention.

for me it's not really that I don't listen much to albums (I do), but more of that I listen mostly to electronic music and metal for the most part. goes in periods and for some reason Radiohead hasn't really bumped into my consciousness for a long while.

@Boney: good choice. And yeah I totally get that, I listened to these guys so much in my youth that I just dust them off for a re-spin occasionally. It can be rather easy to just use them as background music.
