Feb 16, 2022Such an underrated gem. This album gets under your skin and doesn’t leave, even years later. Fave tracks: all of them but I love Ingenue, Dropped, Default, Reverse Running and of course Amok...that slow build and release gets me every time :-)

Oct 15, 2016The song sets us, as if on a light style of the album, gently clear bass sound, singing a repetitive guitar rhythms, replacing von specific percussion sounds. Read More http://muztravel.by/news/237-debyutnyy-albom-atoms-for-peace-amok.html

Feb 17, 2014it isn't a perfect collaboration, what with occasional tracks feeling simply more weak and slurred, but Amok is otherwise a well played and composed collection of light electronic songs.

Jan 19, 2014The rhythmic music is great to listen to (mostly), especially when you give it a chance and listen to it repeatedly. It's a lot like Radiohead albums in general, you need patience to uncover the good stuff.
Word of advice, though, don't listen to the whole album continuously. You'll get a headache. -

Oct 16, 2013Perfect and incredible album, like a second part of The Eraser, the mix of Thom and Flea's brains was a good idea, I hope they release a new album soon.

Jul 31, 2013First of all its important to establish that this isn't Radiohead Amok has far more in common with Thom Yorkes solo work than Radiohead. Im not really a fan of electronica so i was apprehensive when buying this album but there was no need to worry, Amok is a great album especially Ingenue and Default.

Jun 4, 2013I can't help but feel with Amok that the formidable line-up goes to waste. This just feels like 'The Thom Yorke Show'. It is undoubtedly clever yet the horrible side-effect of this is that it is terrible dull and lacklustre. If they come back for another album, I want to hear Flea's energy pumped into it and then maybe we will be onto something great.

Apr 15, 2013As the great Beethoven once said, "If you don't like afrobeat electronica, get the out!". It's fun album with a lot of good ideas. It's cut from the same cloth as Yorke's solo stuff and King of Limbs. A little heavier on the electronica side, with a hint of kuti's afrobeat. It's not for everyone, but what is? I find it to best the best of Yorke's experimental electronica.

Mar 4, 2013Atoms for peace are a supergroup if so to call it that. Consisting of thom yorke and flea they have produced a decent album. A lot of people won't give it a chance cos of their love for Radiohead but i am open to new changes and found myself liking this album. Favourite song off the album is 'dropped'.

Mar 1, 2013It's the natural progression Yorke's work seems to be taking, putting more distance between himself and the early work of Radiohead. As ever, though, the sound is original and there's enough in it to keep the listener entertained until Radiohead get back in the studio.

Feb 28, 2013It always took time to really enjoy a Radiohead or Thom Yorke album recently, since the "Kid A" experimentations. All these album were finally great when you start to know it better.
With AMOK, it's the first time I really love one of Thom's albums without having to listen to it 5 or 10 times. It's really great and I can't find the words to describe it with my poor English (sorry). -

Feb 26, 2013I've always been torn between euphoria and confusion with anything Thom Yorke has been involved with. The lineup for this game is, however, nothing short of fantastic. I feel high everytime I listen to this. In fact, I feel as if I get higher and higher everytime I listen to it. It's just out of this world.

Oct 4, 2013While not as inscrutable as Yorke's finest work, Amok brings him one step closer to blurring that distinction between man and machine.
-
Jun 4, 2013There are moments of warped magic--haunting melodies, neat instrumental hooks, surprising turns of key and mood--but there are also times when you suspect it might have been more interesting to hear what Yorke and his collaborators came up with in the studio before it got eaten by ProTools.

Mar 22, 2013Amok is a tenaciously rich and strong album that is certainly the work of gifted musicians.
