| “Dollars and Cents” is the eighth song on Radiohead’s Amnesiac, and it reminds me a lot of the Allman Brothers. It’s the drums. A lush banquet of ride cymbals and floor toms, it’s the drumkit that’s the unsung hero of Amnesiac: when the album shakes itself free from its electronic dreams of an insulated future (“Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box,” “Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors”) it finds repose in the drums, which are loose enough to float from jazz phrasings to rock bombast without committing themselves either way. |
