29:49 hahaha Thom telling the crowd 'not yet' when they start singing Ed's Harmony one line early. Brilliant.
I never noticed that, nice shout. He seemed to genuinely think it was funny too. Got a little smirk on his face when he heard them.
I'm one of those fans of Radiohead who loves Thom York's vocals. I also happen to love Colin Greenwood's bass, Jonny Greenwood's guitar work, Ed O'Brien's guitar and backing vocals as well as Colin Selway's drums and percussion. I just love the whole package. Also love the dynamic between you two by the way, great reaction
Which is why I don't really care all that much for any of their solo efforts. There's always something missing when it's not the five of them together. About time for a new Radiohead album already. Six and a half years since the last one have been far too long. We've been through the whole Trump administration and the pandemic without any new stuff. What gives?
good point ...absolutely right
I consider Reckoner to be one of the most beautiful songs written ever, by any band. I consider this studio version superior to the Basement version because of the chorus voices an strings.
Reckoner is probably my favorite Radiohead song. I do like the Live From The Basement version better, though.
Let down is my #1
@@galvinklatt5273 Yeah, I hear that a lot, why do you prefer it?
@@voiceover2191 funny thing is I listened to the basement version yesterday and must admit that I agree with you that the studio version is the better listen. I missed the strings when I re-listened to the basement version. I also made up something in my head that I thought the basement version had less bombastic tambourine playing, but it’s basically the same level in both versions. To my ears, the tambourine would sound better if it were pulled back into the mix. It’s the only thing that bugs me about the song…probably because I’m in love with the slithery guitar riffs so much!
I don't like the live version because Jonny was playing lemon and it left a sour taste.
Most people had a hard time with Videotape initially. It is pretty barren and repetitive, and yes its awkward, largely because of the syncopated percussion. It makes sense if you understand the message. It's about dying, saying goodbye, which plays into how this album is a love message they are sending out before they leave. Thom's voice feels fragile, honest. The percussion, for many at least, makes it feel like a beating heart. It's really a somber love message of a closer. Look at Reckoner as another example of a heartfelt message... this album has Thom really being vulnerable and unlike the rest of their catalog, its warm.
PS: Lots of people hate this version. There are older live versions with a faster tempo where Jonny is playing guitar and its syncopated, and it actually feels very alive. It's kind of a banger, but I think they went with the more somber version to contrast with the rest of the album, which is about life.
There's also something interesting to musicians... what people refer to as hidden syncopation. That once you know the song, and feel the percussion as the source of the 1 beat, the rest of the music shifts off beat... and this actually changes how you hear the song even before the percussion comes in, because you expect it and are now hearing the piano as playing on the off beats. Thom also plays it that way live. WarrenMusic discovered this and made a whole little doc about it. Vox then picked it up and made a clean shorter doc about this very song and hidden syncopation.
I used to dislike the studio version. But once I read the lyrics and came to understand the atmosphere it was going for, I loved it. It sorta just clicked for me one day. Like a jigsaw falling into place.
The vox mini documentary about the song is fantastic. Give it a watch boys!
I think the percussion is meant to sound like a roll of film slowly running out ... which fits the song's message.
@@joshs8685 Potentially, though wouldnt you agree that the end of Give Up The Ghost sounds more like a roll of tape running out?
I remember when the album first came out that it would make me feel very uneasy listening to it, like I was about to get a heart attack. Especially since it's the last song on the album. Which is why I prefer listening to IR in my own personal playlist (another reason being that I was never too happy with the album's track sequencing in the first place), with some of the bonus tracks from disc two added for good measure. I have 'Videotape' at the end of side one, and 'House of Cards' as the closing track. Feels a lot more redeeming to me that way.
Jonny did such an amazing job with the strings on this album. Started to really refine his compositional skills here and with the There Will Be Blood score.
They don't release singles, they release whole albums all at once. Also they play even their most obscure b-sides live (and perfectly) and Thom Yorke's vocals have been a strong part of the band's appeal ever since Creep. I'm glad you're getting turned on to em though they're one of the greats
Radiohead released this as a free download & their only ask was if we liked it, to pay what we thought was reasonable
Nice. Been waiting for some more RH👏
I'm not musically trained, but I get the impression of a very, very diverse style of music from Radiohead. Every song is a different trip through an ambiguous emotional landscape.
Very fascinating stuff for an old guy like me who's never listened to much music that came out after the 1980s...
Radiohead remind me so much of the Beatles every record sounds quite different from the others yet it is unmistakably still Radiohead.
Gotta say that Reckoner is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever made. A stripped down, piano version, was later used in a Cancer research advert here in the UK, especially touching as Thom's wife died of Cancer.
You should definitely go with Radiohead - In Rainbows (Disk 2).
Disk 2 Tracks:
MK 1
Down is the New Up

4 Minutes Warning
I love everything about Radiohead especially Thoms voice. Stunning.
Thanks for an interesting review. I haven't listened to this album for a while but it was really great listening to it again with you guys. One of my favourite albums for sure. If you like orchestration and strings you need to listen to A Moon Shaped Pool which has some amazing arrangement by Jonny Greenwood.
Every member of the band is pure musical genius. As an ensemble they're hard to beat but Thom's singing is a massive draw. It's like marmite; you either love it or hate it
Love when y’all do Radiohead!!!!
Nice reaction guys. For Weird Fishes should have listened to the "From the Basement" version, that particular version could be my favorite song by them.
Agree 2
Granted, I skipped through the Weird Fishes live performance, but when they called it a less complicated song I knew they must've listened to the wrong version. By all accounts, it's probably one of the most complicated (difficult to learn) songs in their discography.
the stage was set for 2 drummers because guess what ? There were 2 drummers. they hired Clive Deamer (Portishead, Robert Plant) as a second drummer to perform songs from the kings of limbs album.
Fun fact : in live performances of 'bloom', the opener to the album after in rainbows, they actually use 2 drummers, with their guitarist also using a smaller kit to the side! 😆
i was in that festival in chile!! one of the best experiences of my life for sure
Thanks guys! Watched off and on, but those committed to invest in Radiohead are definitely worth my time, my likes and my subscribes.
This was 10 years after ok computer. Both absolute masterpieces. Genius.
masterpiece
Gracias. Simplemente gracias.
Gotta watch the In the basement version of this album, where they play in a studio recording. It is out of this world, the quality of the music, and singing is at it's best
“You’ve done some bad jokes before…. I dunno what to say about that one.” 😂😂😂😂
Nathan rocks✌🏼
Bro. Thom Yorke’a voice is totally a main reason we all love Radiohead. Lol are you even kidding? He’s got one of the best voices and broadest ranges of his generation. It gives all the chills.
Awesome. Glad you enjoy it
I truly think Videotape is one of the most perfect songs on the album. It's just devastating and beautiful. I think it's the perfect way to end the album. A lot of Radiohead fans really love their most devastating songs, and this definitely one of them. The percussive dissonance is perfect. It's supposed to make you feel uncomfortable because it's an uncomfortable song.
I would always recommend listening to the studio version of any album or song first so that you have context when you listen to a live version. Once you hear the original version, your mind fills in the parts you may miss in a live version due to mixing or an instrument or vocal track that is only in the studio version.
You say this is a favorite amongst fans but I rarely see anyone claiming this as their favorite rh album.
To me, no other album has the combination of “easy listens” (for rh at least) and intense deep cut gems as In Rainbows. Slow tempo, fast tempo, abstract, rockin’, this albums got it, plus the story behind its release makes it a perfect album to me.
What draws me is Thom's voice. Just felt the need to say that.
Huge fan of your reactions and Radiohead! Would love to hear your thoughts on Grizzly Bear, another brilliant band.❤️
Another fantastic reaction to a flipping sublime record. Would absolutely love to see you both react to *Nathaniel Merriewether's Lovage - Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By* , a true desert island record and complete fire.
15 steps is the height of the gallows. "15 steps, and then a sheer drop" .;)
This delightful album is full of references relating to Death
Which is why Videotape (and the somber version) is the perfect ending to the album.
OK computer came out in 1997. In Rainbows was 2007. There were a number of albums in between (Kid A, Amnesiac, & Hail to the Thief)
They first started working on Nude in 1998! Thom was just 30 then. He's said that he loves doing it live now because it brings something new out of him each time. He made some changes to it in that Chile concert. AMAZING. Literally brought me to tears.
Video tape from the basement is so much more complete and a beautiful haunting guitar exit
I absolutely 💯 love RADIOHEAD!!!
If you want to watch an amazing concert, watch their Berlin show. It’s spectacular.
Thom has educated us all..... and you two did a great job about your impressions on so many issues
❤️❤️🤘🤘
Oh shit the boys are back
this is 4 albums after ok computer, about a 10 year difference, with ok computer releasing in ‘97
It's 100% Thoms singing, as well as everything else. But if you didn't have Thoms singing it just wouldn't be Radiohead.
Unpopular opinion I think Colin Greenwood is the make or break of the band 🤷 my favourite bassist of all time
@@radiofoot1035 Colin is amazing. As is Ed, Phil, and Jonny. I love em all to death, but you take away Thom and you don't have Radiohead. Plain and simple.
You could conceivably replace some of the others and because of Thoms playing, songwriting, and vocals they would still be close to what they were before if not better depending on who they found. Again, that's not a knock on any of the other guys, I love em all, but it's just the truth.
@@radiofoot1035 fax
Ya gotta do the bonus disk now.
Interesting that you did a live version of Jigsaw. They very rarely play that live. Not sure why, but I've heard that it's very difficult to play live.
I don’t doubt it haha. Even that performance of Jigsaw sounded quite off. The guitar parts specifically.
As someone who plays in a Radiohead cover band, I can confirm. Lol
I finally understand Videotape...it is a suicide note with the author either overdosing or bleeding out. They are entering heaven with Satan at their heals. They cannot take permanently saying goodbye in person, so they are doing it by videotape. What I really love is the scratchy percussion at the end that is the sound a reel to reel tape makes once it ends and the dangling end continues to turn. Unbelievably haunting, morbid and beautiful. Once again Radiohead outdoes themselves!
Thom was inspired by R.E.M, nice pick up on the similarity.
"Is that a vocal or sound effect?"
Yes.
The 2nd drummer is actually Portishead's drummer who sits in on tour sometimes lol
I think Videotape is a perfect way to end it too.
This is my way of saying goodbye
'Cause I can't do it face to face
So I'm talking to you before
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen
Fabulous.
Weird Fishes ! 🥰
Hey, new radiohead listener? Like that rock feeling? Want that build, with a straightforward but intriguing simplicity? Try The Bends as an album.
29:50 Thom telling the crowd "not yet" because they came in early is hilarious.
I personal am I HIGE Thom Stan. He and Chris Cornell are my favorite male vocalist of any genre.
Thom makes me feel transfixed . It’s beautiful and haunting at the same time. I just love him.
So for me, he is the draw.
I do love RH! They are,I think, one of the most talented bands to ever be. A top 10 band in my book
This album was released a decade after ok computer. After ok computer comes kid a, amnesiac, hail to the thief and then this 😃
Came out 10 years after ok computer
Faust is a fictional character in the same titled play by German author Goethe. He's a scholar who enters into a contract with the devil who enetered into a challenge with god to try and tempt Faust who desires higher knowledge.
The draw of the band is their ability to translate emotions and moods into music IMO. Thom is a piece of that, as are all the other band members.
I wouldn’t say I’m drawn by the complexity of the music. If I want that I’ll listen to Tool or King Crimson or something. Radiohead makes extremely creative and unique music, but I wouldn’t call it complex per se. They have musical knowledge and technical ability to be sure, but they choose to use it in a more subtle way than composing complex song structures and “hard to play” parts.
Are you guys taking RUclips comment requests or is it solely patreon these days?
Patreon only. We would never sleep
Or eat otherwise
as a super fan its just an ode to death
Should have checked out the 2006 Bonaroo version of Videotapes. Has a complete different sound. And the syncopated beat is more obvious. Johnny is like jamming his own song along with theirs, it's cool lol
Also Last Flowers is a great B-side you should check out
the kids in the first song was suppose to clap the 5/4 drum loop, but its was pretty much too complicated, so they ended up putting the kids cheering instead
Ok computer was 90s before in rainbows
The last minute of Nude is one 0f the most beautiful things i've ever heard.
The last minute of all I need is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
that weird fishes version doesnt do the song justice at all. basement version is amazing.
Ok Computer was like a decade before this lol
videotape=syncopation. great musical ear.
This is obviously your first Radiohead album. They don't make duplicates.
Nope. Not our first :))
I’m 51❤
Congratulations? 👏
Not my fav Radiohead album but certainly one of the best of all times
David Gilmour listen to Radiohead
that bill cosby comment is WILD
Thank you
To be fair, “House of Cards” is one of their simpler songs.
"This kind of Radiohead song, I like."
Wtf? A wind-up surely?
You're either in or out.
Other than that transgression, a great show.
Intelligent articulation is a rare commodity among you RUclips "reactionaries".
PS: Thom's voice is utterly unique. The band's music is inconceivable without it.
Other than that..
Sorry we weren’t perfect. Lol
Great reaction guys. I've gotta say everything about Radiohead make them my favourite band of all time but Thom's voice is absolutely the draw for me.
why did you skip Jigssaw Falling Into Places????????
We may have mentioned why. We did it already
Most closing tracks on their albums are depressing/sad.
Put time stamps next time
Nathan I’m sorry for saying your name a lot😂
Thom is absolutely the draw, I have to question your ability to judge music, brave putting that out on youtube tbf, fair play, but you're dead wrong lol DEAD WRONG.
Oh sweetie , we are doing just fine.
Sorry to say this but man you gotta get headphones if you wanna listen to real music
Tell him Nathan, or dont😂
🤣😂🤣 I do have one pair of earbuds that are almost as good as cans, though... for when I'm composing but still need to hear the doorbell.
@@lk-music I love you both🙂
Just a Radiohead thing, Nathan feels them you don’t
@@scottharper6593 Oh I'm not Ryan! (Or Nathan) I'm just saying you can get earbuds with fantastic representation. With the ones I use you can even hear this sub-bass pretty well: ruclips.net/video/oRJ607uXA40/видео.html (It's the deepest part of any song I know, and I've had plenty of sound systems, where this is inaudible)
I don't know whether Ryan's are any good, but I've also owned headphones that represent sound poorly, or deliberately alter it (e.g. bass boost, noise cancellation).
@@Zunawe mind your own business mate!
Comment on the reaction not the comments
Get a life troglodyte
Ditch the pay talk it's never going to grow your channel just enjoy
Explain
Radiohead doesn’t touch your spirit because you’re on a different plain, musically
Nathan will understand that
Stick to pop and get some decent headphones if you want to be serious
Nathan, if you haven’t got your own channel then you should
No offence intended❤
Ryan doesn’t get Radiohead as much as Nathan so they should break up. Lolol. You are a treat at parties
@@WelpHereWeAreOnRUclips I bet I am😂
@@WelpHereWeAreOnRUclips It seems he was not paying attention to the reaction cause Ryan even enjoyed Videotape more than Nathan xD and that is too much to say... Videotape sound is usually kind of complicated and odd at the first listen. I really recommend to listen to Videotape live in Japan 2008 if you want to get more into the song and its hauntingness.
@@williamandres1042 ty william !!
**Attempts to say something incredibly rude in a subtle way so it sounds like a friendly suggestion** (You failed btw)
“No offence intended.”
The live version of Weird Fishes on Jools Holland was when it was Fresh.
Contemporaries in awe.
It was the first album ever that said pay what you think it is worth.
There’s a reason why nobody knows about this is because it was revolutionary and revolution is always put underground people whose jobs depend on drinking the blood of artists
15 steps up to the gallows then a shear drop
