The similarities are striking: the skittering beats, the whispers of trip-hop strings, the vocal manipulations, the queasy jazz, the hazy frightened atmosphere, the existential terror of being famous in a dystopian world. When critics make comparisons between untitled unmastered and Radiohead’s Amnesiac, it might just seem like an easy headline: Amnesiac (along with Zooropa) has become the go-to reference point for the weirdo experimental album released shortly after the grand statement album, and untitled unmastered, with its anonymous track titles and strange, mid-song left turns, certainly fits that broad bill.īut there’s a lot more to that comparison than the lazy surface-level elements, and honestly, the two records make for an improbably perfect double-bill.
