Amnesiac: Radiohead’s Fractured Aftershock to Kid A

Best Record of 2001: Day 57 Cover art courtesy of EMI Records. Good morning! We’re in for a treat today, as Sam Colt takes the wheel and shares his take on Radiohead’s Amnesiac LP. If you’ve been here for a minute, you’ve seen Sam’s work before. He and I did a Top 100 Series, are part of a group that shares our year-end lists, and, of course, have a monthly series on, well, whatever we find interesting. You likely also know my feelings on Radiohead, and Sam’s quest to get me to come around on them. The TL;DR for new folks: he loves ‘em, and I don’t. But he’s also a helluva writer I’m lucky to get to “collab” with every month, and for as much as I give the band shi*t, I can’t think of anyone who’ll give the record its due more than him. The words—and work— below the jump are all his, and I’m beyond grateful he let me share this with everyone! I think you’ll dig it, too. When you’re done here, please be sure to check out more of his work at This Is a Newsletter! KA— Supposedly made up…
