5.0 out of 5 stars I love singles!, September 24, 2001

By	mark "weeping_guitar" (South Dakota) - See all my reviews

I love a solid single. Radiohead's second release from Amnesiac, Knives Out, features "Cuttooth," which fans of any Radiohead era should fall in love with and the full-length edition of a Radiohead classic, "Life in a Glass House." I'm going to recommend you also pick up the 2nd UK import single which features two of the all time best b-sides, "Worrywort" & "Fog." "Fog" has previously been known as "Alligators in the New York Sewers" and it is incredible. Amongst their best songs ever. I give the US Edition 4 stars because it does have the "Pyramid Song" video on it, which is cool, but get the UK import singles too. They're 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply great, June 1, 2003

By	Shelley D. Bowen "Afficianado" (Sterling, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great single, but missing the 2 best amnesiac b-sides, August 29, 2001

By	"mistersparkplug" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews

1.Knives Out - You've heard it. Probably the most popular song off of Amnesiac. Also happens to be the least instrunmentally abstract song on the album. 2.Cuttooth - A solid rock song, which is almost as out of place in the Amnesiac family as "Life In A Glass House" is. Still, a very good song. 3.Life In A Glass House (Full Length Version)- Track 11 off of Amensiac. Only difference is that this version has a much longer horn section introduction. 4.Pyramid Song VIDEO - The video's great quality, and is a definite bonus. I believe this is their first enhanced cd. I'm also pretty sure that it's the only SINGLE since pablo honey that comes in a full jewel case. Basically the only b-side you're getting is Cuttooth, which isn't their best. The single's missing fog and worrywort, 2 of the best Amnesiac b-sides released so far (worrywort in particular, I HIGHLY suggest that you download this song). 4 stars only because it only includes one b-side. Order the 2 UK singles as well.
