One of my favourites from The Bends album. I don’t really listen to it much anymore, but it feels good when I do. I’m hoping that there’s some of Thom and Jonny’s side project, The Smile, in the queue. I saw them a month ago. I was really impressed with the drummer, Tom Skinner. He gives their work a completely different feel.
Quality review and I appreciate how you break down your review criteria. Next song by Radiohead you should check out is High And Dry from the same album.
This is actually from relatively early on in their career when their music was very rock-forward before they really started to branch out and experiment.
Agree with @political here. I'm an 80s kid from the UK, so being meh on RH in the late 90s/early 00s was some sort of heresy (especially as I didn't care for Blur or Oasis either). Nevertheless, The Bends album is great.
I am thoroughly enjoying your personal evolution with Radiohead's music. They do A LOT like you said and do it well but its not always easy to digest. Im glad you appreciate their talent regardless
@@williamdrake6711What is your problem? It is early Radiohead. The are Radiohead since the end of 1991, their first album was released in 1993 and "The Bends" in 1995.
This was my girlfriends favorite band, so glad she got me into them. They have so many different sounds and talents. When your significant other says something, literally "listen to them."
Gotta listen to Fake Plastic Trees! :D Great album. Odd location in their discog being sandwiched between a one hit wonder record and one of the greatest rock records of all time.
Another solid track from the band’s sophomore album. The first record by them I ever got acquainted with. Bought it on CD, back in ancient times. Interesting characterization as resembling Southern rock. Not only because the group is British (Limey Skynyrd? Sorry, bad joke) but because a record-store owner I knew thought the album was like “1970s Brian Eno.” I will say the disc is much more guitar-based than what followed it. And also, that this is an HQ version is evident to me- I can hear the improved audio quality vs. the original release.
Great reaction man! This album has some great rock songs. The bends and bones are my two favorites. A lot of the songs on this album are kinda depressing to be honest. But still good songs in their own right
The lynyrd skynyrd comment makes perfect sense. I was 15 when this album came out at proclaimed it to be 'the truth' and then my dad spoiled it by liking this song and telling me it reminded him of Boston more than a feeling. I still love it but it sounds heavy dated
The Bends is kind of a yawn compared to where they took their music. It's decent... don't get me wrong... it's just... decent 90's guitar music with a few moments of brilliance. I personally would not have chosen this particular track. It just kind of meanders along and lacks the details, drama and highs and lows of their future music. I still love it though :)

Where'd you see them? I saw them in Dublin and it was absolutely excellent.
@@skywipe1949 Manchester at The Apollo. It wasn’t the gig they did for BBC6 Music with the LCO.
They have a song called Go To Sleep that I swear sounds like southern rock.
Fantastic song from my favorite Radiohead album. Thank you for the excellent and very fair review.

Great song, from a great album, by a great band. This was my first RH album and played it to death, and still do!
This is actually from relatively early on in their career when their music was very rock-forward before they really started to branch out and experiment.
Early in their career? This is 10 years into their career... formed in 85 this came out in 95
Yes and almost 30 years later, I'd consider their second studio album of nine in a long career to be "relatively" early as I phrased it
@@chrisl6735agreed!
im not a big RH fan but this whole album is something special
They just have 6 more special albums.
Truly classic album.

you should really check out "life in a glasshouse" by them, it shows how much range they have. It's a fantastic jazzy closure of the album Amnesiac!
nah, David would hate it

Very early Radiohead, but you could see how much talent they have
Not early this is 10 years after formation...

@@williamdrake6711it's early Radiohead dude, deal with it and everything else
@verydirtyflow ok sure... they formed and started playing in 1985... but I guess none of that counts cause no contract or studio album
@bernhardfbuttner5694 I'm aware of when their studio albums were, but again they formed in 85....

Now I need to go back and listen to some Radiohead. Maybe I'll break out some Portishead while I'm at it...🤔

I'm on a real high from Wall of Eyes right now, so sure, let's take a dip David :)
I think he would like read the room
Fair score for a very good song. You should listen to...naaah , not gonma do that. Hurrumph my man, another great reaction yet again 🤘🏽
Good channel 👍
I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about but the guitar has a Dino Jr feel to it

Yeh this whole album is the best Radiohead album fake plastic trees high amd dry street spirit and many others
Good
Could react to supa scoopa the mighty scoop by kyuss
DAVID I NEED YOU TO REACT TO QWERTY MY LINKIN PARK!!!! YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!
I did a reaction to it, like 2 years ago.
@THEDavidHeretic oooh OK I didn't see it yet
The live versions of this song are better. This whole album is pretty much lol
big radiohead fan but this songs sucks tbh, their 2 first albums are not suited to my taste
Agreed.

They may just be diet Muse, but Radiohead still hold a special place in my heart
lol 15 years ago it was muse hailed as the diet radiohead lol how times have changed. Its just the vocal style that people say that
Considering radiohead is 10 years older than muse I'm not sure they should be diet muse, maybe muse is radiohead extra....
@@williamdrake6711 thats I always heard it lol
Muse will never be where Radiohead were very early. Muse is just so over the top, like musical - and that isn't a good thing .....
