HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- Well after 7 albums of amazing highs and new soundscapes we have finally arrived to "In Rainbows". an album that I have been hearing so much about since I started checking out Radiohead on the channel. This bands ability to continue reinventing itself on each project has been such a marvel. How will this follow up to "Hail to the Thief" sound... well based on everything I had heard, this album was going to be special.
My name is Jack and I love music, in particular Hip Hop, I decided to make this channel as a way to engage with other music lovers and because there doesn't seem to be a lot of reaction channels on RUclips...My goal has always been to be open to all types of music regardless of my love of Hip Hop, on this channel you can expect a rich array of genres. If you're keen to join me on my music journey then please subscribe, if you ever want to give your thoughts on an album or song that I have reacted to, then please do. I want this channel to be a community and if you love music of any genre then welcome!!!

![mgk - I Think I’m OKAY (with YUNGBLUD) (Sad Version) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7AC1uqQLIg4/mqdefault.jpg)
This is Radiohead’s warmest album.
Most "welcoming," right? I go back to it less often than a few others, but it's still fantastic, every time.
I would agree. It's their most consistently listenable for me. I would probably say Moon Shaped Pool is a close 2nd. That's just my personal preference though.
Sounds like a title to a middle 8 video 🤣
I think the cover art has a big influence in the perception of an album, if A Moon Shaped Pool has In Rainbows cover you would say AMSP is their warmest album
Make an album as transcendent as 'Spirit Of Eden' or 'Laughing Stock' and they'll have my attention. It's just a shame they don't have it in them!
To me, this album sounds like the colors and design of its cover.
Tbf all their albums do. Stanley Donwood is a genius at converting tone and feeling of an album into a fitting piece of art for the cover
@@engagecastle188 yeah. The only album cover that feels disparate for me is The Bends.
@@collinbeal nah i always saw the bends as red and black idk why, maybe the cover did have an influence on my thinking but a song like Bullet Proof “sounds” red and black to me
@@MichellBollinger for me it sounds 'free' and 'painful' like the CPR doll is breathing in fresh air with hurt lungs most captured with high and dry, fake plastic trees
Tbf all of their album covers represent the feelings of the album very well. The artist is so talented and the album covers are a very important part of how the albums feel to me
Now that you have listened to In Rainbows, you should totally listen to the From the Basement session, it's mind boggling how they make this magic happen.
Before that listen to the B-Side. Some of the best hidden gems
Yes! Watch and listen to the From the Basement session. It’s mind blowing.
The performance of Nude in From the Basement is one of the best live performances of anything I’ve ever seen. The whole session is perfect.
Absolutely!
Most definitely
im only gonna say one thing: Weird fishes ages like the finest wine ever made until it becomes the greatest song ever made
Can confirm every time I listen to it it gets better
Yesss!! ❤️
I was lucky enough to be at the Ether Festival when Thom and Jonny debuted Arpeggi. It remains one of my fondest memories. ruclips.net/video/R9bPMnFCj68/видео.html
one MILLION percent agree.
Not the greatest song ever made imo, but it is a transcendental gift that just continues to give, like an overflowing chalice.
"Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen" - This line always gets me.
It's hard to articulate exactly what I mean, but it got me even more coming from Thom Yorke. I love his lyrics but most of the themes are cynical, surreal or metaphorical. But this feels like a moment of stripped down kindness and love
@@rdwdixon1449 It's love. It's one concept that we never agree on, but still can recognize it instantly when it shows. That line is just that
Truly amazing line
Lou Reed reminds me of
@rdwdixon1449 There are other instances - Sail to the Moon and True Love Waits come to mind. I agree that the theme of the lyrics tend to be anger, cynicism, and frustration over the state of things though.
Videotape is such a powerful song man. The feeling of ending a chapter with someone important in your life. Whether it’s a breakup or a death, just telling that person that the best times you had with them will always hold a special place in your heart
Truly a moving peice, I will always remember that song for how hard it hit me emotionally on a first listen and every listen since then
in rainbows is definitely a summer album for me because it feels so warm. it hit me instantly but after a few more listens it became my favourite album of all time
You crying in the end was a beautiful way to close the video and it sums up radiohead for most of us. It's not just music, It's so much more than that.
videotape...what a song
I love how you don't stop and pause the song multiple times throughout the listen. You let the music do the talking and I have nothing but respect for that. Been here since the first radiohead reaction, keep doing what you're doing mate!
Thank you Alfie, really appreciate your support on these vids
This album meant a lot to me as a young adult. They released this album for free (or rather using a ‘pay what you want’ model) on their website. This was way before music streaming was even a thing, of course. It was a bit of a publicity stunt, but it worked in their favor.
I downloaded it for free, burned it on cd, but also ended up buying the cd AND the vinyl over the next year they released it. Really was an anomaly, release-wise.
Funny you say that Jigsaw would be a great song to see live, because they RARELY play this song. Insanely hard to keep that drum rhythm going for 4 minutes live. I wish they played it more
i think the problem Is the vocal range change during the beat goes round and round, thom struggles reaching the lower notes, and that is like 60% of the song. Phil is incredible and i dont really think he should have issues playing it, hes a human metronome hahaha
@@mathiasvarela308 I think I have a decent voice but nowhere near as good as Thom's, but I can still hit all of these notes live and I'm sure he could too. Given, I am 28 and he's like 54 but stilllllll idk lol
@@doozythedoctor maybe he just has a different range than you
@@doozythedoctorThom is a high tenor so lower notes are going to be more difficult than high notes for him
@@mathiasvarela308 lmao i have the opposite problem
by far Radiohead's best produced album, and best overall
no that would be kid a
You are correct
OKC and Kid A are definitely more complex in terms of production, but In Rainbows is crispier and sounds slightly more cleaned up than the other 2. If we count the remasters that cleans up some of the dated sounds then OKC has the best imo.
@@venori5785 in rainbows is definitely more straight forwards, less complex, but that's because the band perfected the creation process, and the album was produced for digital playing directly, not for analogue and then converted into digital, so it sounds slightly better, and to me honestly, in rainbows has more tight sounding songs than kid a and okc
@@venori5785 I completely agree with everything you said. I think perhaps OKC & Kid A are the more experimental roads that leads us to that “cleaner” solid & consistent sound we get on In Rainbows.
And I feel the same way about a couple of albums from Arcade Fire: Neon Bible & The Suburbs. The former pacing the way clear the more sophisticated latter.
In fact, I could probably make a case that Funeral is AF’s version of The Bends.
I really appreciate this guy's approach to reaction videos. Is so annoying when people stop and start videos. Is great to just see someone immersing themself in the song and so frustrating when you're anticipating them experiencing a certain "moment" you've loved for ages and they pause right before. Great stuff!
Agreed
I've heard Videotape a million times yet here I am, crying lol
Videotape is about a somebody dying and leaving a video for their family, the drums at the end are meant to sound like the tape coming to the end, awesome👌
such an intimate song
the guys in Radiohead almost lost their minds producing and recording this album. It was a hard one to make. This is their most warm and human album by far. There are themes of human desire and emotions throughout the album. It explores aspects of human behavior. I recommend you listen to in rainbows disc 2 if you want more of this sound.
honestly not surprised, such a fantastic project
I heard Weird Fishes playing really loudly in a record shop the day this came out. Didn't realise it was Radiohead at first, but it genuinely took my breath away and made me stop in my tracks. F***ing brilliant song.
All I Need just hits me so hard, feels like a cry for help to me especially the ending
Love this album. So much space, so much confidence. It feels effortless. And yet still complex, interesting, emotional. Proper genius.
Reckoner is legit one of my favorite songs in the world. You absolutely have to repeat listen on that one. There is so much tastiness going on.
wow, i was sobbing when videotape was playing and i didnt expect you to cry along too. i love this channel
Thank you, such a powerful song
The melody from Weird Fishes is one of the most surrealistic things they've ever created. If that's not music from heaven I don't know what is.
Reckoner enters the chat :)
I was lucky enough to be at their 2006 Bonnaroo show where they played Weird Fishes, Videotape, Nude, Bodysnatchers, and House of Cards almost a year and a half before the album came out. Hearing these new songs live (and all their stuff I already knew by heart) was absolutely amazing.
All these years later, it’s still, hands down, the best live show I’ve ever been to. They are unbelievable.
Would have been incredible
I was there too!! By far the best live show I’ve ever seen, still! And I’ve seen them numerous other times. It was such an incredible experience. I’ll never ever forget it. I actually have a picture of myself looking up at the Jumbotron while Thom is on it and I look like I’m glowing! What a night.
My dude... this video and these songs have changed my day... I can remember on a visceral level what it was like to sit down and hear all of these songs for the first time... It was amazing. This album is everything good, hype, pretty... absolutely lovely.
Really glad you enjoyed the vid man!
The fellas each left a piece of their soul on this album. And the mastery of music and production on this record is just beyond me tbh
Definitely their greatest album for me. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Every. Single. Song. Incredible stuff.
Great record and reaction mate. King of Limbs next? It’s a very challenging record but with some unreal moments. Codex being the standout for me. No secret now that you love the slower songs, you will really love A Moon Shaped Pool, every song is just as euphoric and amazing as the last. True Love Waits is the closer, that song will send you places! Enjoy 🤝
Yeah TKOL is such a neat pit stop departure from the sound they solidified on In Rainbows and expressed at its apex on AMSP. I love that they decided to experiment with a different sound even so late into the band's career.
AMSP is... well, he'll just have to find out. All I'll say is *chef's kiss*
Thanks Charlie, was such a great listen man, super pumped to listen to the final two projects, has been such an incredible ride!
Imagine the confidence of the band when they said #pay what you want# for this masterpiece. They are really such of artists. Every song of this album is a masterpiece.
Love that!
Thank you for this. I love reliving Radiohead’s albums with someone who really appreciates and loves it like you do.
Beginning of nude is in reverse from the last part of the song.
I was way late to the party - October 2021 was when I heard this album. My first Radiohead album. My parents must be so sick of this one by now. I never stop playing it. It's on constantly - in the car, in the shower, on my record player. It's a timeless masterpiece and it floors me every single time I hear it. One of the greatest albums I have had the pleasure of hearing.
such a fantastic album
Your reaction to Reckoner was my exact reaction to Reckoner. Instantly obsessed.
Channels like this give me hope
I first heard In Rainbows a few months after its release after my older sister had recommended it to me. It was my first exposure to Radiohead beyond Creep, so I was not expecting for the album to sound like it does. At the time, I was listening to heavier music and didn't have too much exposure to the interesting sound pallet this album provides. I was intrigued, and enjoyed it quite a bit, but it wasn't until the fourth or fifth time listening through the album where everything just clicked. The "wall of sound" crescendo in All I Need is the moment I knew I would never listen to music the same way again. Hit me like a ton of bricks. Opened the door to so much more music that I would not have listened to otherwise. In Rainbows is still one of my favorite albums of all time.
Loved your reaction, and I look forward to what you have in store next! Much love, Mr. Caveman Jack!
Thank you for sharing your story, always love hearing how people found these albums! Thank you for your kind comment, hope to see you again on the channel soon!
I'm excited for the missing reactions to The King of Limbs and A Moon Shaped Pool!!!
Good video
Im mad exited!
Loved your honesty in reacting to this - emotions and losing yourself to the music is so important and so nice to witness
I love that Nude and Videotape made huge impact on you, as I truly feel they are the clear highlights, along with maybe Reckoner and Jigsaw falling into place.
Can't wait for you to react to A Moon Shaped Pool. By FAR their saddest album, and the closer is out of this world.
The album circles alot around Thom's divorce, and sadly his ex-wife dies from cancer after the album was released, which just puts a very gloomy and heavy post-feel when listening back.
Thanks Jesper, they are such powerful songs that just hooked me instantly
I love how I vibe with you through the whole video. One of my favourite Radiohead albums
I fell hard for this album from the first listen. It’s deep and beautiful, and for me at least, perfect. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
You're welcome 😊 thank you for checking out the vid
I appreciate being able to listen to this for the first time again, through you. After so many years of admiring and celebrating the experience of this album, I traversed between jealousy and pride in the recognition of your joy. Cheers!
Your reaction is GOLD! This one means so much to me and to see someone hear it for the first time is amazing! ❤😊 thanks!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the vid!
THANK YOU! I can tell how authentic your reaction is, you appreciate this music like we do and I appreciate this channel. There are no skips here, none imo, it’s like walking through the most incredible art exhibit imaginable, each piece with its own mesmerizing qualities. It feels like an homage to Dark Side of the Moon Much to me, glad to hear you will be relistening to this album because it is in fact better with every listen, but PLEASE do look into the From The Basement RUclips vids,much love bro!
I appreciate your kind words, was such a great album that took me on quite the ride. Thank you for checking out the vid and commenting
Well said, brother. Seeing you light up is EVERYTHING.
Thanks Ryan!!
Your reaction to weird dishes made me feel like I was listening to it for the first time! Loved you taking the time to soak it in afterwards
merry christmas, came back to watch again. wish i could like again!
Happy holidays!
I adore this album and it’s great to see the reactions of someone who it hits in the same way. Great video
This album hit me on first listen. It's also still my favourite.
Videotape gets me every time. I always think i can handle it, and it always crushes me.
Same..
"you are my center, as I spin away.."
Man..
If you love Videotape as a closer you will LOVE true love waits.
Beautiful reaction man. Thank you 🤙🏻
Thank you Joe! appreciate it mate
Killer reaction as always! Love your insight.
Hell yeah! Thank you :)
I've been into them since OK Computer and watching your reactions i could see you were doing your best to hold back the tears, I am a musician myself and if i could just write ONE song like this band with that effect then my real work is done , Feel proud to be a part of the Radiohead community ❤
hahah was waiting for this one glad you enjoyed it
yeah, the album hit me right away. i downloaded it in the morning and started listening on the drive to school. I paused. Listened to Nude while sitting on a bench before class and got chills....at the moment I knew the album was gonna be special.
Love your honesty, I feel this is definitely a grower
Keen to see how this one sits over time!
i'm so glad you loved Videotape just as much as i do
Bro I've seen your reaction to this album 3 times now. And I mirror myself in you, even if its years ago. Cheers, and thank you for sharing it.
Rock on!
Definitely an album that grows on you over time. When I first listened I thought it was a pretty good album, but it didn’t hit me until repeat listens. Every. Single. Time. You will find something new to love in every song and it is now one of my favorite radiohead albums of all time. Absolutely beautiful collection of music
in rainbows feels like a warm hug, and one of those perfect records to listen to beside the fireplace
Almost all of Radiohead's albums take me several listens to really get into, but they're like gifts that keep giving - discovering new elements with each listen.
This is one of my all-time favourite albums, glad you enjoyed it. You should watch their performance of this album in its entirety: Live from the basement (2008)
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on The King Of lims and A Moon Shaped Pool 😄 great upload as always, you never miss!
Can't wait! Thank you for the kind words
Stumbled upon your Radiohead album reactions, this one is definitely my favorite. I can't wait for A Moon Shaped Pool.
Hope you have enjoyed the vids :)
grew up on older radiohead, so discovered this later on and i think it’s one of the most amazing albums ever created 🖤
Thanks for the reaction! Been checking the channel weekly for this one!
Reckoner is one of those songs you can’t even talk through. It’s mesmerizing start to finish. Your reaction to it was perfect haha
Hell yeah! Glad you enjoyed the vid. :)
first album i heard from them, the guitar from 15 step had me hooked eversince
Such a tune!
I can listen to this album all day, just my favorite to listen to.
I absolutely loved this 😁
I steered away from Radiohead for quite a few years… then returned when A Moon Shaped Pool came out.
When I revisited ‘In Rainbows’ it got inside me right away.
I can’t get enough of Radiohead… but ‘In Rainbows’ is like a comfort blanket now!
Been stoked for this for a long time man. Beautiful and unique album and one that I’m sure you’ll grow to appreciate as the months and years go by.
Echoing many who say you would love their Live From the basement studio film of this album, few hail to the their tracks thrown in too. It’s illuminating seeing them work their magic on this.
I love that you connected to Videotape straight away as I always thought of this as one of their biggest growers. The piano sounds like it’s the beat but it’s actually slightly syncopated which comes through more on the live version and honestly elevates the track to new heights . Flying over to Australia tomorrow, exciting to work in your beautiful country!
Hell yeah Corben, thanks for checking out the vid! Enjoy your time here in Aus, hopefully you can get some good weather where you work!
I love jigsaw ,man great song
Love how you really feel the music, great reaction (subbed)
Thanks for the sub!
I was one of the people who were really waiting for this reaction, and it was awesome to finally watch it; it felt very emotional. If there's one thing i can assure you is you're gonna love A moon shaped pool as well
Awww thank you for checking out the vid Mileny. Truly was such a beautiful album with some very special moments. So exited for a moon shaped pool
Your sound quality is great. I can here every instrument much more clearly than I have before.
So good to hear, thank you for the feedback
Dude, glad I found you and on this album. Excellent analysis and wonderful to relive this one-of-a-kind album through your ears. Subbed 😎👍🏼
Yes, it hit me immediately. Still not over it after all these years.
amazing project
My first listen to Weird Fishes was very special, since I did basically what you said
I just sat back and let the music ascend me to another plane of existence
It was BEAUTIFUL
I've been waiting for this..
Hell yeah, hope you enjoyed it Riku!
A Moon Shaped Pool is a must, you’re gonna love it
Please do not skip King Of Limbs (ignore the haters) and Moon Shaped Pool. Both are real gems.
Won't be skipping it!
Bro I love so much that you are posting these. Radiohead is my all time favorite band, and I actually don’t know a lot of people who nerd out on Radiohead like I do. So watching these videos is like hanging out with someone listening to my favorite music and talking about it. I do wish you had more commentary lending to your musical background. Radiohead is certainly a musician’s band. And I also wish you played the full length of each song, with more of your commentary to color it. An example is a classical composer who did a couple in-depth listens to OK Computer, look it up if it’s interesting to you. That’s just feedback from one guy and I’m sure others have different opinions. Great work and thank you for the content!!
Thanks Bryce
Has been such an amazing ride
I have loved falling into their work
Hope to see you again on future videos legend !
OK, this is my third and final comment. What an amazing 10 years… OK, computer, kid A, Amnesiac, hail to the thief, wrapping up with in rainbows… they all hit hard, and from the very first listen in rainbows was a powerful album. This album has the most songs currently in my rotation, and still very much a part of my current musical lexicon. In my circle… And it must be noted… we largely listen to hip-hop… But in my circle, it was the album that everybody agreed on the most, and thought was the best from the very first listen. I have always taken a Radiohead album and excepted it as it was… With no complaint, but for the very first time I will say, I miss this brand of Radiohead… It was the culmination and the pinnacle for me. To be clear, Radiohead and Thom Yorke have many other songs that are my favorites, but as a whole, this is probably my favorite album.
Man hit after hit after hit after hit after hit.... Thank you for sharing your listening experience!
Agreed. I love a lot of their other albums but I think In Rainbows feels less experimental and more assured than any other album. Almost a dance album in some respects. Like they set out to make their own twisted version of a pop album.
Man, this album is so good. One great song after another. I've heard it so much I forgot how emotional of a closer Videotape really is
Truly incredible
For my money, House Of Cards is one of Radiohead's most beautiful love songs. Underrated
I remember waiting up till midnight to get the download code. Listened to it while laying on my bed, and to this day it is the most memorable first listen I’ve ever had. Cried most of the time!
This album is so fkn romantic. I always cry when I listen to this album because you feel it in the notes, the emotive lyrics that explore human behavior. Additionally, the growth. The fkn growth in their sound. Ugh…. This album always reminds me of that lover that you had to part ways with even though the feelings will always remain.
So many emotional beats in this one, I agree Tracey, thanks for checking out the vid!
Oof I know what you mean with that feeling, perhaps a reason why it's my favorite album from them. Nostalgic warmth and comfort, mixed with melancholy.
@@cyberbird451 the intro to House of Cards encapsulates IR for me.
What a beautiful calming album. I hope you get into another legendary bands catalog. Deftones! White Pony is a must listen mate!
It usually is must for all on their first times with Deftones. But you definitely won't regret it! Can't wait.
Video tape means so much to me. I cry every time.
Quite brilliant review. Unreal album.
Thank you Jon, such a great album!
Loved your reactions to these albums. Especially appreciated the Kid A reaction haha. Love how you really get lost in these ❤
Cant wait to see you react to moon shaped pool.
The King of Limbs is great but MSP is my personal favorite album. A cohesive masterpiece of a journey with every song hitting hard and emotionally imprinting thoms vocals & their masterful instrumentations into you
It really is Radiohead at their fully developed peak.
Similar to how All I Need plays as a more matured Creep, MSP plays like a culmination of the bands personal growth and the sounds theyve gathered over the years
Cant wait! ❤
thank you! can't wait to listen to more Radiohead
Incredible album, Vidoetape and All I Need are some of my favorite songs of all time
Bodysnatchers didn't really hit me until the 4th listen, but when it did it was magical
The man's BACK!!
Lets goooooo!
congrats you reached music's peak.
In Rainbows was an album that cliques immediately for me. Like every Radiohead album however, with every subsequent listen it just became more and more beautiful. Today it is my favorite album of theirs. When I was younger it was definitely the Kid A/Amnesiac albums.
Thanks for your reaction, especially for appreciating Videotape so much. For me, Videotape is one of the most beautiful Radiohead songs, but people usually neglect it. And to answer your question - yes, In Rainbows hit me immediately when I first heard it, while OK Computer took me few years to fully appreciate and love.
Thanks Davor!
When it came out, it took me right away. I was going through a dark period in my life. It helped me heal after multiple listenings. Just a masterpiece. Thank you for this great reaction.
Music is so powerful, glad you enjoyed the video!
Another masterpiece by Radiohead.
The long awaited review is here and damn you did not disappoint. Personally jigsaw and videotape are my favorite due to the raw emotion. Once again you released a banger, wish you got more recognition, Great job
Hell yeah! Glad you enjoyed the vid, really appreciate your kind words
I'm glad you enjoyed this album. While I struggled to get into Radiohead's earlier work on first listen (especially Kid A and Amnesiac), In Rainbows hooked me right away. The only track that I wasn't big on was Videotape, but that has grown on me over time and it's still getting better today.
I'm very interested in what you'll think of The King Of Limbs. It's definitely a hard first listen because of how jarring it is, but if you give it time you might see how great of an album it is. I get that it's not for everyone, but I feel that a lot of people don't give it the chance and just write it off as bad.
Love this album so much, it was fun seeing you react to it so strongly
Such an emotional ride!
Thank you so much for your kind words, really stoked people have been able to connect to this journey. Such a great project and feels like a exceptionally tight album that hits all the right notes, keen to see how this album sits with me over the years
it hit me straight away - but I have been a radiohead fan since the bends
Yes,Yes,Yes! Radiohead is Phenomenal in layering sounds,textures,emontions,weird out of time signatures and Thom’s mastery of floating his voice in and out and around and beyond and through all of Radiohead’s music so that it’s new and different version every time you listen! I must see them live!
