8 Mind-Blowing Details In Radiohead Albums You Never Noticed

6. The Amnesiac Library Book

On the subject of 'Amnesiac', it's an unfairly maligned album. It was following two of the greatest records ever released and one of the finest reinventions a band had ever made; it might not live up to those ridiculously high standards, but it's got its fair share of great songs. And it's wonderfully packaged. 'Amnesiac' came as a library book, complete with stamps of how many times it had been taken out from "Nosuch Library". It's an album about trying to piece together the events of the last album, hence its title, and for the record to take the form of a book or journal is a clever move. As is the maybe-reference to the river Liffey, or Lethe if you're interpreting memory loss, mentioned on 'Kid A' centrepiece, 'How to Disappear Completely'. Perhaps the most ingenious little detail though was the card that read, "Spine damage", relating to the fact that text on the spine was slightly faded. If that's not perfectionism, what is?
