While Radiohead’s work on Kid A and Amnesiac has always been praised, the way in which this Exhibition allows you to better appreciate each album as a whole really cannot be understated. And in that pursuit, I really can’t think of anything that could have been better for the band to release to celebrate the 20th anniversary of these records.Īlthough it surely sounds cliche, Kid A Mnesia Exhibition really deepened my love for these albums more so than I thought possible. Instead, this is something that is meant to serve as a love letter from Radiohead to fans that better shows just how these albums were created. This isn’t something that you’ll want to rush through or “beat” in the way that you would with a normal video game. When you first boot up Kid A Mnesia Exhibition, one of the initial things that it tells you is that you need to take your time. The entirety of Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is like this, too, with different sections of songs being used to lure you throughout this bizarre locale you find yourself within.
KID AMNESIA GAME RADIOHEAD FULL
As you notice a door off in the distance and start to inch toward it, the early stages of “Everything In Its Right Place” start to creep in before eventually kicking into full gear once you cross a certain threshold. For instance, when Kid A Mnesia Exhibition first starts off, you find yourself in a forest with no music being played. Rather than simply walking from one room to the next and hearing a certain track from Kid A or Amnesiac, the experience often layers in different musical elements from songs to lead you along a certain path. One of the coolest things about Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is how it stitches together these different environments. Another area could have you floating through a large, blue tunnel while hearing “Like Spinning Plates.” (Photo: Epic Games) One location could have you listening to “In Limbo” amidst a barrage of papers whirling around your head.
Each exhibit tends to feature a single track from Kid A or Amnesiac that is usually accompanied by a bizarre environment of some sort. The entirety of the game takes place in a rather labyrinthine environment that helps guide you from one experience to the next. To best explain what Kid A Mnesia Exhibition even is, think of it like a musical museum where you get to walk about and experience different Radiohead songs as various exhibits. Not only has Radiohead crafted something with Kid A Mnesia Exhibition that I imagine every fan of the group will adore, but the experience itself continues to assert the importance of Kid A and Amnesiac musically since the turn of the century. That might sound like a baffling statement if you’re someone who has never given much attention to Radiohead, but as someone that has identified the band as their favorite of all time since middle school, this is by far one of the most enjoyable pieces of media that I have consumed in a hot minute.
Radiohead’s Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is likely the coolest thing that I have played all year long.
