Il pianoforte Pyramid Song e la ballata del coro evangelico marziano You and Whose Army? potrebbe placare leggermente i tradizionalisti strofa-ritornello-strofa, ma il campionatore-in-a-compattatore di rifiuti Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors e l’atmosfera puntinista di Hunting Bears attestano le continue tendenze anticonformiste dei Radiohead. Amnesiac si apre con il claustrofobico Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box, ricco di sintetizzatori, e si chiude con la marcia funebre di dixieland Life in a Glass House.
The piano-based Pyramid Song and the martian-gospel-choir ballad You and Whose Army? might placate verse-chorus-verse traditionalists slightly, but the sampler-in-a-trash-compactor Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors and the pointillistic ambience of Hunting Bears attest to Radiohead’s continued nonconformist tendencies. Amnesiac opens with the claustrophobic, synth-bedecked Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box and closes with the dixieland funeral march Life in a Glass House.
