What he said.

For me Kid A is the perfect Radiohead album there isnt a bad track on there where as Amnesiac's only flaw is Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors. As a whole Kid A is a better album but by stand alone songs Amnesiac is better.

Good point, I do find myself skipping Knives Out quite a bit. I do have another quick question though if Kid A is perfect can someone explain Treefingers to me? Cause' that track has always kinda stunk in my opinion.

I actually really love it, but I don't think it's something that can be explained. I'm a huge fan of atmospheric and ambient music, so it just hits a chord with me.

Let's just say if you're ever going to "get" Treefingers, you have to be paying attention. I couldn't just sit there reading a book and enjoy Treefingers at the same time.

I personally love Treefingers... it adds to the cold austere feel of the album and for me its just strikes a chord as beautiful mellow track that one can lose oneself in... definitely not a flaw in the album in my opinion...

I don't get the all the hate with Knives Out, it's one of my favorite tracks on that album. But, Treefingers was originally a very long solo Ed wrote, that was eventually morphed into Treefingers. It's a nice ambient track that sounds like whales talking, I find it very relaxing. I even put it on when I'm trying to sleep.

I've just never really liked Knives Out. But I understand what everyone is saying about it being relaxing and that, I've always actually found that the track Kid A is relaxing the piano in the beginning sounds like a lullaby to me and I love it.

Wow, I would've thought Knives Out was a track that most people liked. Well, at least I love it.

Actually, most of my friends do enjoy the track. But personally I find there's much better songs on Amnesiac.
