Taken mostly from recordings during the Kid A sessions, Amnesiac is Radiohead's hope to regain their pop accessibility. Early rumours from the album described it as a more rock-roots album, taking the band back to a The Bends era sound. Pop rock at its finest. It's a far cry from the truth. But do not be dismayed my dear friends.
Eclecticism is a virtue.
At least for Radiohead. Pop can be eclectic. And dammit, Radiohead is set to prove it. Take Kid A 's experiments with electronic beats and samples. It was a difficult album for some to digest, let alone appreciate.
