I agree and the funny thing is the first time I heard the album it was one of my least favorites after a few listens it started to grow and grow and now its one of my favorite songs by them regardless of the album.
Reckoner is easily one of my favorite songs. Something about it is so transcendent. This whole album is very warm and has a little tinge of mythological vibes.
The scotch mist video of Faust Arp is one of the most atmospheric video’s I’ve ever seen. The cold weather, end of the afternoon, the ‘winter red’ setting sun in the far distance and the wind in the mic. they are cold! :) Very intimate.

Thanks for the video, Dean. Enjoyed your reaction to Weird Fishes, my favourite Radiohead song. Complexity and simplicity all wrapped into one, beautifully. Your intelligent reactions are a lovely point of difference amongst reactors. Thank you from Australia.
I love the comment about being blown away and bewildered by their compositions. Radiohead has many great qualities, but i think their creative compositions are really what makes them so good and legendary. Every band member listens to many different styles and genres, and brings the influences into the studio, with the intention of making accessible “pop” music. It shouldn’t work, but somehow it does.
Weird fishes, all I need and reckoner. In a row. On the same album. Oh and apparently Radiohead were supposed to be over the hill when this album came out. Yeah right. Absolutely stunning
In rainbows 🌈 is pure gold amongst all their incredible work. It’s warmer, more accessible, optimistic and up lifting. Radiohead at their peak mastery ❤
Saw Thom and Jonny perform live this week in LA. It was the last stop on their North American tour of their side project band The Smile and first time I have seen either perform live. It was otherworldly. I can’t describe it. They are so much better live I swear. And it so cool to experience their music in the present tense. The Smile is happening now - their album dropped 2022, they wrote a ton of new material while touring this year that they going to drop another album in 2023 and do another tour. And a lot of their new songs they perform are even better than the songs on their new album, and those are freaking awesome. And they just dropped a live album this month recorded at the Montreux Jazz festival.
If you're looking to hear more piano like on All I Need, A Moon Shaped Pool is full of it and is arguably their most cinematic album. If you liked In Rainbows I think AMSP might be right up your alley! :)
One of the best things about Radiohead is how great they are live they pull off every one of these songs and most of them sound better with no taped music of any kind. The two basement sessions are an all-time great music experience I hope you react to BOTH of them not just In Rainbows check out Bloom for a more proggy Radiohead and the addition of the second drummer is used in ways I have never heard anywhere else.
I've listened to all different types of music through out my life and over the past year I've really dived into the Radiohead discography and no joke every day my favourite Radiohead song changes 😅 They are something else and will go down in music history as one of the greats!
This album is so accomplished, they created one of the greatest albums of all time, they did the contemporary opposite and then they said 'okay here is Radiohead at our very best', to you for free.

This album is so lush and beautiful. I wasn't ready for it when it came out. But I'm experiencing it now through your listen through. Thanks for this! It's so surprising which good art should be.
My whole life I never thought it was possible to have a favorite song. It's like asking an adult what their favorite color is. Then I heard Weird Fishes.
Progdog the smile’s 2nd album wall of eyes dropped today. Can’t wait for your reaction listening to it! Such a thrill to look forward to. Hope you’re doing well!
Peter Frampton covered "Reckoner" as odd as that may seem. It's instrumental. ____________________________ Updated with a link: ruclips.net/video/RHdj_-x_51c/видео.html
Is it just me or does the guitar in weird fishes at times sound like the steel drums that originate from, is it Jamaica? Such a cool sound. It comes out when Jonny strikes the strings hard.
The strings in this album are a bit similar to Bjork string compositions too. I recommend you react to Vespertine too in the future, that album will hit you.
How five guys can make a soundscape like weird fishes just blows my mind. There's a composer guy that followed after your dive into Radiohead and now he now he is a fan also. This music is like a virus that reprograms you.
In Rainbows has got to be the most beautiful Radiohead record by a mile. It's interesting because it came after Hail To The Thief, which is their angriest album. Then it was followed by King Of Limbs, their most boring but meditative album. And finally A Moon Shaped Pool, Radiohead's saddest album.
After seeing your reactions to these incredibly forward-thinking albums by one of my favorite bands, I have what might come off as a strange recommendation given the usual content of your channel, but I think you would potentially really enjoy Bon Iver's 2016 record 22, A Million. I'm also a fan of prog and pretty much any other genre that can surprise me in some way, and frankly I've never been as surprised (and moved) by the places Justin Vernon goes with that record. It's such a unique experience and I just couldn't help but throw it your way. Cheers man!
Great video! Odd observation though, when I watch your video on my tv, the music tempo seems a bit fast, but on my phone it all sounds normal. Mayb it’s just my faulty ears.
To touch on "how do they write these songs", I saw Tom say in an interview a long time ago say that they came up with the name Radiohead because the song ideas "get beamed into his head like from a satellite or something". Always thought that was cool.
Weird Fishes is honestly one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
“Daydreaming” is right up there too
I agree and the funny thing is the first time I heard the album it was one of my least favorites after a few listens it started to grow and grow and now its one of my favorite songs by them regardless of the album.
The live version on The Basement is amazing.
Also check out Live on Jools Holland for an absolute great version...the audience is stunned.
I love how there’s a little more bass in the basement mix. So good
All I Need is such a ridiculously awesome song
My favorite from In Rainbows
@@dutchmastah07 My favorite from Radiohead. That song helped me through a depression man such a beautiful song
@@justsomejusstsome8994 now that you mention it, I’m finding it hard to think of a song of theirs I like more. Probably my favorite as well.
@@dutchmastah07 Ah ik zie dat je NL bent?
@@justsomejusstsome8994 tf you say lol
Reckoner is easily one of my favorite songs. Something about it is so transcendent. This whole album is very warm and has a little tinge of mythological vibes.
It also has “In rainbows” in the lyrics which I guess makes it the title track sort of.
Likewise
@@az5428 I had no idea that was whispered there
@@dan.j.boydzkreationztook a while for me to hear it too, but once you hear it, it really stays with you and adds another beautiful layer to the song
This is a Public Service Announcement.
Cee lo green actually did a really great cover of this song
That is all, resume your daily routine
reckoner absolutely destroys me with chills every time
I still listen to this album every few weeks. Absolutely sublime beauty. The best things humans have ever done is create majestic art like this.
yes, I like that about Radiohead- the music feels more like created art as much as music.
Faust Arp is such an underated beautiful song by them.
Yep I agree, that song is very underrated.
yeah as beautiful the other songs is, this one is just as wonderful and definetly deserves more attention
100% I think Faust Arp and Knives out are super underated

Reckoner live from basement is amazing
Jonny’s string arrangements are so beautiful. Really came into his own as a composer around this time.

thanks Fred
The mixture of the guitar layers and bass in Weird Fishes always sounded like a hiking through swirling autumn leaves on a sunny afternoon.
Bridge in Reckoner gets me every time ❤️
Check Radiohead In rainbows from the basement - live performance.
Yes, really great performance.
I love the comment about being blown away and bewildered by their compositions. Radiohead has many great qualities, but i think their creative compositions are really what makes them so good and legendary. Every band member listens to many different styles and genres, and brings the influences into the studio, with the intention of making accessible “pop” music. It shouldn’t work, but somehow it does.
I remember Michael Stipe saying Radiohead were so good it was scary. Their songwriting and arranging is unparalleled.
For some reason Faust Arp reminds me of the Nick Drake song Things Behind The Sun and that is probably my favorite song by Nick.
I definitely think they were trying to make a Nick Drake song here. Very similar kind of arrangement
Weird fishes, all I need and reckoner. In a row. On the same album. Oh and apparently Radiohead were supposed to be over the hill when this album came out. Yeah right. Absolutely stunning

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi has a great bass line there at the end.
In rainbows 🌈 is pure gold amongst all their incredible work. It’s warmer, more accessible, optimistic and up lifting. Radiohead at their peak mastery ❤
The Live From the Basement video is really fun. You get to see them perform these songs.
Reckoner is easily my favorite song of Radiohead's. Absolutely beautiful. ❤️
I appreciate that you do really listen with intent, and don't persistently stop the track or interject with second-by-second reactions
Weird Fishes, for me is Radiohead at their finest!

Sorry for dorking out while writing this. I was listening to you react to weird fishes and that song puts me in an auto pilot trance
I will ck out The Smile
If you're looking to hear more piano like on All I Need, A Moon Shaped Pool is full of it and is arguably their most cinematic album. If you liked In Rainbows I think AMSP might be right up your alley! :)
Especially on “daydreaming” 🎹
I had exactly the same reaction after listening to "weird fishes" for the first time.

The crashing down of all I need as everything descends-or rather the listener ascends-is truly something not pulled off by many
every one of these songs are amazing and tell like.. a story by themselves

Reckoner's bridge section is so nice
All I Need is the best song on the album tho
Wow, I haven't listened to this album in ages, years, and I forgot how good it is.
This album is so lush and beautiful. I wasn't ready for it when it came out. But I'm experiencing it now through your listen through. Thanks for this! It's so surprising which good art should be.
Completely agree about the unpredictability. They always try to do something new with each project.
That ending vocal on Reckoner reminds me of Echoes. Sorta like formula One cars only accelerating, but in series
My whole life I never thought it was possible to have a favorite song. It's like asking an adult what their favorite color is. Then I heard Weird Fishes.
Listening to this reaction with you Dean reminds me why i fell in love with Radiohead
Progdog the smile’s 2nd album wall of eyes dropped today. Can’t wait for your reaction listening to it! Such a thrill to look forward to. Hope you’re doing well!
doing good thanks. doing it asap
the drums in reckoner are wild, it doesn't sound super flashy but that shit is hard to do
I’d recommend In Rainbows disc 2 if you have the opportunity. It has more great tunes left off the main album like Down Is The New Up, Go Slowly, etc.
Peter Frampton covered "Reckoner" as odd as that may seem. It's instrumental.

The first few seconds of All I Need always brings to mind Philadelphia by Springsteen.
i remeber being a teenage girl every time i listen to this album. and it still sounds so fresh❤
and with the years I had a lot of 'my favourite songs of the album'. haha, it changes over time and I love it
Good taste in music starts early!

Weird Fishes and Videotape are right up there with their very best
The strings in this album are a bit similar to Bjork string compositions too. I recommend you react to Vespertine too in the future, that album will hit you.
By strings do you mean the ondes marginot that sound at the beginning of All I Need?

For The King of Limbs i´d suggest the Live from the Basement version instead of the studio one.
This song got me through my divorce he he x Radiohead… bunch of genius muscians … the gift that keeps on giving …

noted
Arppegi is the composition written by jonny greenwood, that you can find on youtube. Weird fishes is the radiohead version of that song.
¿All I Need es la version madura de Creep?
For your consideration: Blonde Redhead- Misery Is a Butterfly
OK, sure
A live version of Reckoner they did back some years ago in Japan was much better than the one on the album, not sure its the mixing or what
Great video!
Odd observation though, when I watch your video on my tv, the music tempo seems a bit fast, but on my phone it all sounds normal.
Mayb it’s just my faulty ears.
ooh, I hope it's not fast!
Plz progdog do a listening reaction to Radiohead’s The Bends album ❤🙏
Likely will
