Never to be called Kid B, Amnesiac is a great album on its own. "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box" is a cool song with a steel drum and Yorke telling us to get off his case. "Pyramid Song" is one of my all-time favorites. It's simply Yorke singing and playing piano, with Strings and moderate srums in the background. The lyrics are stunning. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors is very electronic and is very odd sounding with alot of loops in the background, and morphed vocals. "You And Whose Army?" is really cool, and it starts slow at the beginning, then it picks up into a loud section with a choir, organ and crashing drum from Phil Selway. "I Might Be Wrong" is the most guitar-based song on here, with its very bouncy-blues riff and an interesting bassline from Colin Greenwood. "Knives Out" is very jazzy percussion and guitar from Selway, Johhny Greenwood, and Ed O' Brien. "Morning Bell (Amnesiac)" is different than the one on Kid A, and has a very basic background and Yorke's vocals with some small acoustics."Dollars and Cents" has a cool guitar riff and neat vocals by Yorke, and is very minimal."Hunting Bears" is a short guitar instrumental. "Like Spinning Plates" is a very electronic-vocal only song that is great. "Life In A Glasshouse" is a very jazzy way to end the album, especially with all the percussion and brass.

Amnesiac is pretty cool. Get it especially for Pyramid Song.
