Pfft. That thing is no match for an intellectual tortoise.
A giant turtle’s eyes
I love a good concert. I really do. And I used to go to shows as often as I could. I just began to find them a bit expensive (plus the hassle of getting tickets in the first place, and usually just a pain in the ass to get to the venue early enough, or wait around between sets, and just the aimless standing and smelly people and crowds... meh. Just everything surrounding the music became tiresome. Plus I have more of a fondness for the "recorded" media as an art, though a brilliant live performance, as you say, is something very special.
All that said, I did decide today I'd like to catch The HEAD! again if they decide to tour this record. And I can afford it.
I can think of a couple.
I think of Kings of Leon every time I see the album abbreviated KOL
Pyramid Song isn't comforting?
I guess I must be misinterpreting that "there was nothing to fear/nothing to doubt" part.
That song may sound ominous, but the lyrics are very beautiful.
Ha, I was going to cite Larry, but I figure that he gets enough of a hard time already. But I do love Ringo.
I like it a great deal too. I was saddened when someone listed it as dead last on their list of songs on the album.
While we're on the topic of that, why on Earth is it so common to think of things in that regard on here lately? Do people seriously just sit around and decide how much they like any and everything in list form these days? I think they should be required to provide a much more comprehensive list if they think that's appropriate. As in, "I like this song, but not more than 748 other songs in existence", and then list all those songs. When people like that eat their favorite food, do they say, "That wasn't even in the top 62 pizzas I've ever had in my life", and then list out every pizza they've had that's better than it? When they have a toss, do they say, "Hmmm, uninspiring. Not even in my top 20 this year"? If the answer is no, why in hell's name do they feel the need to do it constantly with music? What a joyless and awful way to enjoy music.

Pyramid Song sounds like a lost eerie dream, on the fringe of some nightmare, whereas Codex sounds like a moment of peace.
That's the main thematic difference between Kid A and Amnesiac, I think: Kid A is about the onset and survival of trauma, whereas Amnesiac is about coping with that trauma. I think that Thom may have said something to that effect in an interview as well.
Makes me feel like I've been listening to a different record than some of you. There's plenty of recognizable bass-playing on the album. Same for guitars, acoustic percussion, etc. Sounds like anything but a record dominated by keyboard parts.
it speaks largely of my bias that i'm willing to listen to this as much as i have, because if any other band had put this same piece of music out, i wouldn't give it nearly as much of a go.
"Open your mouth wide
The universe will sigh
And while the ocean blooms
It’s what keeps me alive
So why does it still hurt?
Don’t blow your mind with whys
I’m moving out of orbit
Turning in somersaults
A giant turtle’s eyes
As jellyfish float by"
Bloom is so great.
If Bono wrote that he would be slaughtered.

Because it's actually evocative and inspired?
No because its just ramblings of someone trying desperatley to be cool and hip
