I saw someone making a post about shuffling Amnesiac and figured out why I shouldnt i do the same. Now before you guys crucify me do note that this is MY PERSONAL OPINION, and my taste kept changing with time anyways. So lets just go.

Kid A:

>1. Everything In Its Right Place
2. Kid A
3. Cuttooth (I always think that Knives Out's B-sides would fit better in Kid A, considering more melancholic tones alongside the more electronic influenced sounds they had. Plus I think Cuttooth is still an a-OK song to put in-between Kid A and HTDC. )
4. How to Disappear Completely
5. Fog (I prefer the Knives Out B-side version. I personally think the sheer emotional impact of these two songs back to back would make Kid A an album with a fully flawless transition.)
6. Optimistic (These four songs are)
7. In Limbo (Already perfect and)
8. Idioteque (I dont wanna)
9. Morning Bell (Mess that up)
10. Worrywort (I still dont get why the Amnesiac era B-sides are left out tbh. I mean, come on. Worrywort is spiritually Kid A.)
11. Treefingers
12. Motion Picture Soundtrack

Amnesiac:

>1. The Amazing Sounds of Orgy
2. Dollars and Cents (I gotta be honest, I completely skipped this song until I heard the live version, now its one of my jams, also oddly fits well as the second song. In my opinion. IN MY OPINION)
3. The National Anthem (And here is it. Probably a very controversial choice, but I always think the bass-heavy and the outright jazz this song has makes it fits wayyy better in Amnesiac)
4. Trans-Atlantic Drawl
5. Hunting Bears (IMO this instrumental could really go anywhere between tracks)
6. I Might Be Wrong
7. Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box
8. Like Spinning Plates (I prefer "Why Us?" version for this one, the electronic sounds are not too overwhelming by being balanced out by the piano, perfect balance between the piano heavy live version vs the electronic heavy album version.)
9. Kinetic
10. Fast Track (Putting this here cause I cant think of better transition between Kinetic and Knives Out)
11. Knives Out
12. You And Whose Army?
13. Pyramid Song
14. Life in a Glasshouse (Both the album and extended versions are equally good IMO)

Yeah, Amnesiac is very big now, having the same song count as Hail to the Thief, but in my opinion I'd rather have a bloated album than an album that cut out potentially great songs. I left Push/Pulk and Morning Bell 2 out simply because I do not vibe with them at all. Sorry. Also here is the spotify playlist as a demonstration. Do you have any comments on your own song orders? Lemme know in the comments! Have a good day all!
