Probably their mist political record. HTTT is very underrated. I love each and every track. It is a Masterpiece.
HTTT was the first record where they didn't break that much new ground. Maybe that's why it's underrated.
Sail to the moon has been my all time favorite song and I've literally never seen anybody enjoy it like that. Props to you.
After over a year of radiohead defintly a top 3 track for me!
Yes, that is indeed Thom Yorke on Wolf At The Door. Love this album personally. It's probably in my top 3 or top 4.
As we speak I'm listening to it in the car and it's better then when I reacted to it😂
I really wish we'd get more songs with his vocals like that
Hail to the thief is slept on I think it’s fantastic
The Gloaming is amazing live in concert, the base literally vibrates your ribcage and you feel like you are having energy zap through your body
ayo didnt expect that cover in the intro good job
Much love 🙌🏾🙌🏾
If you like Sail to the Moon, wait until you get to Codex. Not my absolute favorite, but by far the most beautiful song I think they've written
HTTT is a grower. I at first skipped a bunch of these songs but now it is sacrilege to skip them for myself. I am a MEGA fan and love almost EVERY song they ever did. Saw them on Thoms Bday in 2016 Austin Texas and was overcome by emotion the whole concert. Unforgettable experience for me.
They are the only band that I can say after some of their very early stuff, I like almost every song and even the few that I do not love I can really appreciate.
@@jameshannagan4256 I agree 100%
Never seen someone enjoy Sail to the Moon *that much*. That was fun. And yes, well seen, the Backdrifts beat resembles the 15 step one, and in fact, many see in this album the stepping stone from Kid A to the In Rainbows sound. It's not my favorite RH album, but it's got great vibes going on with that balance between rock and less guitar-driven sounds. It would be higher in their discography if it were, like, just 10 songs. Feels a bit bloated. Anyway, I enjoy your reactions, man. Keep it up. I might comment more later when I'm done watching :D
Edit: okay I'm done watching. The only thing that surprised me is that you weren't more into There There, for many it's the best one of this album. I think it might still grow on you. And don't worry, everyone hates The Gloaming, and personally WSYB too.
Ps: May I recommend watching the Turning The Tables reactions for the RH albums you've already heard? I think you might enjoy them.
Discuss how this album would be seen by RH fans if it were something along these lines:
Side one
1- 2+2=5
2- Sit down. Stand up.
3- Go to sleep
4- Backdrifts
5- Where I end & you begin
Side two
1- There there
2- I will
3- Myxamatosis
4- A wolf at the door
5- Sail to the moon
Anyway, I stole your idea about having STTM close the album. Now, I know many people feel AWATD doesn't belong in this album but I like it. Or maybe you'd change a couple tunes. Doesn't matter. If we had something along these lines, what we have here is a much more concise and talent-concentrated work, not the hit-and-miss mess that the second half of the actual record is.
I love your thoughts on this project. Appreciate you sticking through. It's growing more on me now that it's posted. Still a masterpiece! And with turning the tables, I have, they inspired the start of this channel 🙌🏾
The basement version of the Gloaming is almost good.
I like the gloaming as a mood piece. It adds to the feeling of foreboding on the album. I feel the only problem this album has is the track order.
@@PresidentHotdog please rearrange it! These things are always fun. I don't feel it's particularly bad in terms of track order, just three or so lesser songs in the 2nd half.
It's always interesting to watch someone's first time listening to Radiohead songs. The irony however with Radiohead, is that the majority of most fans' favourite songs are those which we come to like upon multiple listens. Radiohead's best songs being notoriously "growers" not "showers".
Definitely true, I often find songs of theirs that I just liked before suddenly "clicking" and getting semi obsessed with them.
The Gloaming is not the greatest song on this album, but it's nowhere near bad. Also, please, listen to the In the Basement version of this song because it is so much better with the added bassline and drums.
I'll have to check it out, that track just was off to me
@@creditjoshy Would love to see you react to it, if possible. Because that version is indeed awesome in my opinion. ;) ruclips.net/video/Urt_SkGT168/видео.html
15:00 It's about Hollywood, Thom said before playing it in 2002
We suck young blood* first time viewer; keep it up bud. I take the song as being about the record industry taking the life out of young artists
Great video man, keep it going. I really like your thoughts and taste on music. In Rainbows from the basement next? I belive that performance is safe to watch completely on YT, not 100% sure but it's up to you and whatever you choose to do I will be Happy to watch.
Or maybe the albums you already heard from Radiohead to see what you think about them.
Appreciate that 🙌🏾 unfortunately I've heard that classic. I love in the basement. I might make a video going over my favorite radio head projects in order. Also wanna get into more groups
@@creditjoshy as you want to get into more groups - are there any genres you're predisposed to? So that we can recommend stuff :D
@@kurrutako89 I think the next album I do will be tame impala, so like alternative stuff and of course rock. I'm gonna have my mom react to a Kendrick Lamar album too. So really anything but country. At least for now let's not do too much underground because I still wanna scale this channel and I need the views
@@creditjoshy No unheard RH albums left? Already listened to Amnesiac and TKOL? Because I'd love a reaction of either, especially the latter when coupled with/compared to the Basement session :)
@@kurrutako89 oh yea I forgot about that one
Easily their most underrated album. I would almost say it's my second favorite, sometimes my favorite. It just depends on my mood honestly.
Yes Sail to the Moon is one of their BEST and one of my favorite songs PERIOD. Up there with Miles ‘Blue in GReen’ Shorter ‘Sweet Pea’ and ‘Two-Faced’, Rachmaninov’Red Riding Hood’ and Ravel ‘Jeux D’eau’
15 step and Backdrifts are totally "cousins" there is a live version of backdrifts in which you can tell that they were developing on 15 step from one of the beats made in backdrifts.
Hearing the Gloaming played live changed my mind about it.
I ADORE this album. Way underrated.
Love this album, so angry and beautiful and the same time
The melody on "We suck young blood" is beautifuly haunted.
What?? The Gloaming is one of their greatest ever tracks
There There live is insane..
Where I End and You Begins is best on From the Basement
I really liked Sail to the Moon at first too, but Where I End and You Begin is the one
I bet I Will and We Suck Young Blood will grow on you…they are subtle masterpieces IMO, so clean and organic
Wow thank you for sharing, your good!
Btw check out rabbit in your headlights, it's a collaboration. And Atoms for peace , which is Thom York's other band useless is my favorite song from Atoms for peace.
Home of one of my favorites, There, There ❤️
You're a pretty rad dude. Subbed! Hope you mix it up with more artists when you get around to making more videos
Like everyone is recommending In Rainbows and King of Limbs from the basement are both amazing. Without a doubt some of the best stuff Radiohead has done. But I would highly recommend I Might Be Wrong, the live record based on Kid A and Amnesiac. The electronic tracks sounds even better in a live setting with analogue instruments and really heighten the albums. And the original arrangements on that album are just the best Radiohead has done, IMO.
You have to take The Gloaming in the context of the other songs and where it lands on the album. If you listen to the whole album again a couple of times I think the songs that didn't make your 'playlist' will grow on you. Full album listens is where it's at with Radiohead. :-)
That is for sure and this album suffers a bit from sounding a bit disjointed but there are a ton of great songs on it. I can not remember what b-sides there are from this record.
The album is already long, can you really say you’d miss The Gloaming? If this album cut 1 or 2 songs it would be my favourite Radiohead album
Yes all tracks sung by Thom.
Subscribed after 7 seconds.
ayyyyeee thanks so much!
It's always interesting to see how people rate their favorite Radiohead albums. For me, OK Computer has always been #1, and probably always will be. No other album come close to the magic of OK Computer. Airbag, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Let Down, and No Surprises are all absolute perfection. In Rainbows is my #2, and Kid A is #3.
Amazing cover at the beginning
You might get a lot of comments about OK comp at 4th, lol! But I like your top 3.
You should react to the two basement sessions the first one In Rainbows will give you no copyright issues so you can watch and listen to it with us with no issues and the other one you will have to cut up but it is great and may give you a new appreciation for the King Of Limbs.
I agree with most of your reaction BUT I do have a couple of different views. Upfront, I acknowledge that I may be biased in the following feedback regarding our differences bc I feel that this is the best Radiohead album to date…which, admittedly, is not a common belief. My counter-opinions are specifically around your takes on ‘I Will’ and ‘We Suck Young Blood’. First, I guarantee that in future listens you will grow to appreciate the intricacy of the simple yet clean and reverbed electric guitars that interacted so perfectly with the beautiful piano in a way that had yet to be delivered on a Radiohead track. Second, this unbelievable musicianship was accompanied by some amazing and haunting vocal harmonies that added insane melodic layers to the tracks. ‘I Will’, in particular, displays some of the most beautiful vocal harmonies ever recorded. Unfortunately, a lot of people overlook the artistry and genius of these shorter, ‘b-side’ type tracks bc they are waiting for/looking for those traditional Radiohead heavy hitters that end up anchoring each of their full length releases. I admit that it took a few years for these gems to shine through for me but Sail to the Moon, We Suck Young Blood and I Will are three of my favorite tracks of all time bc of their simple approach, strange sound palettes and strong melodic qualities.
I've always been confused by the idea that this is a "lesser" Radiohead album. I've always loved the length and variety on it. There's nothing I skip.
if necessary you could do re-reactions to the ones youve already heard, now in perspective of someone whos heard other projects
I could later, I just love genuine reacts you know
I KNEW you'd like Sail to the Moon. I thought that first minute. It has just started and I'm going ahead and writing this. I bet you like it even more by the end. I will see.
Yes - this is probably the longest album to ruminate over - years for some songs for me - "I Will" meant nothing but a 'skip' to me for so long - then the harmonies just captivated me then then true music beneath the music (we are talking Thom and Johnny here - they aren't your typical songwriting duo) unfurled...interesting as "There,There" is my favorite entire RH song while we have been more or less on point with most others but I will say I overlooked it as anything special when I first listened through this album in a down period when I wasn't so into the band - then when I saw 'In Rainbows from the Basement' (an absolute must watch to know this band - it is inspirational and songs of THIS album are on there tooo and come off way cooler - "Where I End and You Begin" was almost a skip for me at one point then reviewing the basement version - man it is a top 10 easy for me now - utterly cold killer stuff)and sparked my re and now eternal over-the-top admitted fandom, that same night of revelation I stumbled on an acoustic Thom and Johnny version of "There, There" live and it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard. So just a suggestion if the interest sparks to check that out for a stripped back version - it has such an insane detuned chord progression - it's nothing anyone else could have written and sounds so powerful in that setting. But when I made my comment about the less cohesive nature of this album maybe now it resonates as in the songs are up and down in style and initial punch - lyrically it is very political and isolationist, don't trust the Govt, and dreamily hopeful at times (Sail to the Moon written for his son) - not sure how l'd you are to remember post 9-11 Bush era politics but, um, yeah - sad to say I' give anything to trade back that party for the current version of it. Never would have guessed. But respect to all and their views, music is meant to bring us together so strike that. sort of. Fun seeing these vis - thanks man and beautiful rendition of True love Waits - is song I intend to have my wedding dance to though the old school Thom on Acoustic version - little less downer than this but they are equal as songs to me. Thanks for sharing that - i play guitar, super jealous would love to be able to play the piano.
What's stopping ya! Pick up a cheapo 50 dollar Yamaha/Casio and start there. You already play guitar, so you do have an ear for it. Go for it!
@@levilee207 Much love for the encouragement- we need that in these strange times. Seriously. Funny and prescient that you say that; I actually own a ridiculously incredible synth/keyboard, the Novation UltraNova, that has the power to do like anything beyond comprehension - it is an amazing piece of musical equipment. I have enough history noodling on pianos growing up to use the synth with my buddies - single note melodies and such -when we jam but to unleash its full capacity would be so amazing. Also, for the sake of song writing basic skills on the keys would add so many new journeys my Taylor Mini may not be finding. So ya know, it is 2022, I take this comment as a sign - I will endeavor to make it happen. Thanks for the push - sometimes that is all it takes to make a positive difference in this world. As we used to say - good lookin' out!
Underrated album. Kid A is my favorite, but I like this one a lot.
Sail to the Moon!
'I will' is about the Amiriyah shelter bombing where the 400-1600 civilians died after an US strike in Iraq
Your reaction to sail to the moon is correct!! 😀
youve heard pablo honey and the gloaming is your least favourite RH song? damn
Only 2 songs of of pablo honey
This is the True Love Waits I grew up on, from 2001:

And here is the time he played it for the first time live, in 1995:

Sail to the Moon is one of my top favorites in Radiohead catalogue, guitar work is Jonny Greenwood who is AMAZING and currently composes soundtracks. He’s got this ability to place the perfect note exactly where it uniquely belongs ❤️😊
Guitar work is Jonny and Ed lol, Jonny is playing the cord progression and Ed is doing the ambient noises that sound like a synth
@@sarajohnson5653 thanks for the correction, after watching live versions in which Jonny and Thom are together I assumed that Jonny played my favorite parts and made the band sound so tactful and graceful but I know they all play their parts and without one there’s no Radiohead. I mean look at Alice In Chains, without Layne, for goodness sake, or Queen sans Freddie. What are they thinking, profiting off a name that’s lost its meaning, it’s like change the name if an integral member is gone and every member of Radiohead is special, so I didn’t mean to make it seem like Ed doesn’t count. Sorry
@@Tchimewrinou no need to apologize, all good. they play off each other perfectly
Based on Orwell's1984.
woooo
This album kinda feels like a flan in the face
A tasty one
Btw, I recommend playing the Kid A mnesia Exhibition game once you’ve listened to all albums
I'll take your comment with a pinch of salt.
I'd like to request you react to the album Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins!
The concept of the album was basically a reaction to the Iraq War and how George Bush used the world's sympathy after 9-11 to start a war for oil.
The theme of this album is about The Controllers and how They treat us:
"Sit Down, Stand Up" could be now: "Vax In, Boost Up or Mask Down, Mask Up"
We suck youngblood (is actually literal)
"Murderers, we are not the same as you" is Thome talking to The Controllers.
Etc.
I agree it has some not so great tracks. I love most of them, though.
Found it surprising you didn't care much for There There. I think it's in the top ten of best Radiohead songs. Didn't like the music video of it though, had nothing to do with the lyrics as far as I could tell.
The original live acoustic version of True Love Waits is so much better than the version from AMSP.
Don't disrespect HTTT. it's a collection of bangers. Nothing more, nothing less. Yeah, it goes all over the place, so does life. And why the stupid need to make a tier list. Let every album just be them selfs.
We Suck Young Blood is actually another political track, like a lot of songs on the album. What people are referring to with “inconsistent” is the quality of the tracks. I quite disagree, though.
Good reaction even though yiu get some if the track titles wrong. And it don't agree with you about The Gloaming.
I'll fix them, and yea it just wasn't there for me, still this projects now has 2 of my favorite songs 🙌🏾
The problem with this album and I think Radiohead agreed that some of the songs should’ve made it to the cutting room floor. They approved an alternative track listing to this project later that they thought was better.
there there
the gloaming
sail to the moon
sit down. stand up
go to sleep

Well, the theme is actually the more consistent part... It's literally political.
