The anthemic quality he seems to go for on some of the songs - with a choir of singers singing in unison - gets to be a bit much at times, but overall I think I like this quite a bit more than Neil's other recent efforts.
Amnesiac is difficult alright, one of the worst experiences I've ever had checking out an album. It made me strongly suspect it was some joke at the listener's expense.Who Shot Sam? wrote:I like each one of their records for different reasons, including the "difficult" Amnesiac and Kid A and don't think that they are necessarily self-consciously "arty".
I'm not accusing them of actually pretending to like it, just suggesting many would agree with me that it's not an ultimately satisfying record considering the extent to which they have invested themselves in it and in Radiohead's importance. You even said, "I like parts and aspects of the three post-OK C LPs, but they always leave you wanting more"...Otis Westinghouse wrote:I'm with WSS. Why accuse 'Head fans of pretending to like their more experimental stuff? I played Amnesiac loads when it came out. Very much the sort of record, like so much of the really good stuff, that you want to play 5 times before you really get to grips with it. Perhaps you cut your losses too soon?
