Shownotes

In this week's contentious episode, the two dig into Amnesiac. Austin makes the case that this album is actually better than Kid A, while Nick calls "Packt" Radiohead's least impressive opening track. The majority of time is spent analyzing "Pyramid Song," which leads to a discussion of everything from "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" to Doctor Who. Plus, they manage to discuss The Lord of the Rings and the Holy Roman Empire.

Songs Discussed:

6:00 - "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box"

13:33 - "Pyramid Song"

28:04 - "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors"

36:10 - "You and Whose Army"
