Gotcha. Just curious because our rankings are so similar. But I adore Amnesiac. Was going to recommend it to you if you hadn't heard it. But if you don't like it, you don't like it.
I need to listen to King Of Limbs again. It's the only Radiohead album I quit on after two listens. I really didn't like it.

What about 'Hail To The Thief'?
HTTT has some great songs, man. I remember being baffled when it came out. And I HAD to listen to it. Like a code I had to crack. I needed to understand that album and I listened to it eight, nine times a day for the first month that I owned it.

Ill give it another try because you know about this shit. I was really young when kid a and amnesiac came out, i was thrilled about having another good rock album and they gave me some electronic thing...at the time i didnt know what to do. Still Kid A was the weird difficult record i know it was good ( kinda like when Binaural came out), but Amnesiac didnt do that for me. Ill give it another try..

Again, i thought it was going to be something else...didnt like it at all.

Shit, man. I don't know anything. It's all just opinions. But I remember being pretty let down by Kid A when it dropped. That album took longer to grow on me than any other Radiohead album. But Amnesiac grabbed me immediately. I thought, "see, this is what the last album should have been!" Now, maybe Kid A prepared me for Amnesiac more than OK Computer prepared me for Kid A. I don't know. But I've never been one of those fans that likes when bands repeat themselves.

I'm honestly not sure. It's been a long time. I downloaded it the day it was officially released in the US. I listened to it and it didn't do anything for me. I gave it a few days and tried again, but still nothing grabbed me. I haven't listened to it since.
Truly, I don't remember a single thing about a single song on the album. I just remember that it sounded bland, repetitive, boring, and played out upon first listen. Sorry, I can't be more specific.

The absence of any memorable melodies. Melody is one of Radiohead's strongest suits, even in their deliberately "difficult" records, and in TKOL it was more-or-less abandoned for an emphasis on dense textures and rhythm.

That makes sense. I tend to value melody. Even in cheesy songs. So the absence of melody might be a major reason why nothing stands out to me and the album is largely forgettable.

Weird. I've never thought that. I mean yes, I have certainly thought that there are dense textures on TKOL, but a lack of melody?

I'm not sure TKOL is a great record as a whole, but Bloom and Lotus Flower are easily some of my favourite songs these guys have produced. Feral is really fantastic too.
I like some of the material on the semi-contemporaneous singles better than that on the album proper, particularly The Butcher, The Daily Mail and Staircase.
