A wholly different side of Radiohead...,
This review is from: Knives Out Pt.2 (Audio CD)
I am not going to waste any breath on Knives Out since that song has been reviewed by hundreds of people along with the other tracks on Amnesiac. No, it's the b-sides what I'm here for. The 4-minute wonder that is called Fog, or alternately, Alligators in New York Sewers, is worth the price of the cd alone. However, it's the other track that really does it for me. Worrywort...my oh my, what a song. The combination of airy and delicate synths and Thom's breathy vocals demands repeated listens. Truly, it must be one of the most optimistic songs that Radiohead has ever written. Though it's understandable why it has been left off Amnesiac, it's still a pity that not many people know about this song, since the band is best known for wallowing in misery. And when Thom murmurs 'such a beautiful day', you know that your day has been made.

fog... get fog,
By Ben Scheim (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knives Out Pt.2 (Audio CD)
I know radiohead's whole singles scheme is frustrating and off-putting in terms of actually being able to obtain all of their material, but perhaps our frustrations will win out with a healthy b-sides album in the future. In the meantime, I just have to add a note on this single... it's really fantastic. I got it long ago but just happened to be looking through these pages today and realized I must comment on how wonderful the b-side "Fog" truly is. "Worrywort" is a solid b-side, though definitely that to me, but "Fog"... my oh my. I suppose I can understand why they couldn't sequence it into Kid A or Amnesiac but it's a truly phenomenal song. In light of the three b-sides on the Pyramid Song single, the two on the Knives Out single blow them away... but get it if only for "Fog".

There were 2 knives out singles put out because Radiohead wanted to showcase their b-sides, im sure of it. The b-sides are 9 times out of 10 absolutely great. I'm sure you've heard Knives Out if you're buying this single so i wont go into that. Cuttooth is an amazing song, it really does have to grow on you after a couple listens though. The things Thom says in that song somehow struck a chord with me ("i dont know why i feel so tongue tied) ("im going to join the foreign legion"). I think that its just the way he says the lyrics that makes them so effective. the music fits it perfectly too. buy this single simply for cuttooth. Plus, we all know The Pyramid Song was one of the best songs on Amnesiac with that haunting piano line and that the video was great. Life In A Glass House, meh, they attempted swing/jazz, and got mediocre results.Songs rated in order: 1. The Pyramid Song Video 2. Cuttooth 3. Knives Out 4. Life In A Glass House Video
