Amnesiac is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released in June 2001 by Parlophone. Recorded with producer Nigel Godrich during the same sessions as Radiohead’s previous album Kid A (2000), Amnesiac incorporates similar influences of electronic music, 20th-century classical music, jazz and krautrock. It features only one track recorded after Kid A, “Life in a Glasshouse”, a collaboration with the Humphrey Lyttelton Band.<\/p>\n
Amnesiac debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and number 2 on the US Billboard 200 chart. By October 2008, it had sold over 900,000 copies worldwide. Three singles were released: “Pyramid Song”, “I Might Be Wrong” and “Knives Out”, accompanied by music videos.<\/p>\n
Though many critics considered it inferior to Kid A, Amnesiac received mostly positive reviews. In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked it number 320 in their updated version of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The special edition, packaged in the style of a mislaid library book, won the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package at the 44th Grammy Awards. “Pyramid Song” was ranked one of the best tracks of the decade by Rolling Stone, the NME and Pitchfork.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
