While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance
And this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
Our bodies floating down the muddy river

Review about Like Spinning Plates The greatest... | Reviewer: Nick hinds | 12/3/09
I beleive that this is the kind of music that jesus would listen to, it's probably the most creative peice i have ever heard, i love the way that Thom sings backwards and plays it fowards,
And the live version from "Amnesiac special edition [disc 2]" I mean, jesus Christ, isn;t it the most EPIC thing you've ever heard?!!
Um this song kind of like hit me like a ton off bricks. I thought i could litterally feel my spinal chord .... just like spinning plates in the song, almost transmitting signals, choppping me to pieces.
I would like to know just how high tom yorks concentrations of dopamine, seratonine, etc. and budding in his brain at a time. a new test can be done to determine these within a 100 (US) dollar range. Paranoid, neurotic, yet strangely god-like, its a good bet tom yorke may have strikingly active neurotransmitter capabilities undermining his concious at all times.
I dismissed this track when I heard Amnesiac, but have a huge appreciation for its creation, its live performances, its video and its antithesis, "I Will."
The video is eerie; what is leaving yellow trails around a frozen, stop-motion abandoned, mouldy, dank carpark? The lyrics feel slightly out of phase with our reality; dare we truly listen? Chillingly good: our generation will never feel this way about another band again.

Yup! Thom played the early early, unreleased version of I Will backwards and liked the melody much better than when it was normal.
There are some vids on youtube of Spinning Plates reversed, you could actually sing along the lyrics and melody of the new and released I Will and you can tell the similarity!
I guess it's by luck, but it's also brilliant. The idea of actually singing and performing it backwards to put it "forwards" gives the song an amazing feel.
amazing song | Reviewer: pichouette | 7/16/09
here's two interesting facts about this song:
1. the track that's looped continually to be the background music is actually the bass and guitar from "I Will" played backwards.
2. thom yorke wrote this song, and then learnt how to sing the entire thing backwards. they recorded that, and then played that recording backwards. so that's why sometimes, during the song, thom's pronunciation sounds a little strange, or the curious way in which he runs words together.
what an amazing, talented, unique band. as many people have said, they're the best band of our generation, without a doubt.
Going to sing it | Reviewer: Silvia | 5/15/09
I absolutely love Radiohead,I've listened to them live in Milan two years ago... I'm going to sing "like spinning plates" in a little concert with my friends. How can I explain? It's too much, too much what I feel with this song.
i heard this song live when they came to mexico on march 16th.... a lot of people made fun of me because it was "impossible" that they play it... and finally, after a lot of crying alone in my house (with like spinning plates)... they played it... finally i've heard it live...
...i was in such state of shock.... that i couldn't even speak, i couldn't even singalong ... i just couldn't stop crying!! this song means so much to me... this song is the icon of a really insane and hard stage in my life. I just adore it.

When i listen to this song comes to my mind the times when i pressed the play button of an audio cassete player because the wind electronics loops by the end of the song makes some kind of static fect, i realise now that the lyrics are emotionaly strong taking part when i listen a little bit of a transitive existence, nostalgic song, well mixed.

I love this song and I have to say, the album amnesiac is my favorite from Radiohead. I think because the songs aren't easy to listen to the first time, but you more you listen to them the more you like them.
Brilliant | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/24/08
I do the same thing - I have snippets from In Rainbows, Amnesiac, Ok Computer, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief in my "Bedtime playlist", along with a fair bit of Pink Floyd (Comfortably Numb and Hey you are great, along with pretty much all of DSotM), some Powderfinger (Trading Places is a good song). Spinning Plates is definitely one of my faves, tho. Unfortunately I have not heard the live version - having read everyone's reviews, I am seriously regretting this.
If you're looking for a comparable band, go for Pink Floyd most def. But if I were you I'd just get more Radiohead :p
