    "Paranoid Android" is a song by English alternative rock band Radiohead, released as the lead single from their third studio album OK Computer (1997) on 26 May 1997. The lyrics were written by singer Thom Yorke following an unpleasant experience in a Los Angeles bar. The song is over six minutes long and contains four sections. The name is taken from Marvin the Paranoid Android from the science fiction series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
    "Paranoid Android" charted at number three on the UK Singles Chart, their highest-charting position in the UK to date, and received acclaim from music critics, many of whom compared it to the songs "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" by The Beatles and "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. The track has appeared regularly on lists of the best songs of all time, including NME's and Rolling Stone's respective 500 Greatest Songs of All Time lists.
    OK Computer is the third studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released in Japan on 21 May 1997 and in the UK on 16 June 1997. The band distanced themselves from the guitar-centred, lyrically introspective style of their previous album, The Bends. OK Computer's abstract lyrics, densely layered sound and eclectic influences laid the groundwork for Radiohead's later, more experimental work.
    The album's lyrics depict a world fraught with rampant consumerism, social alienation, emotional isolation and political malaise; in this capacity, OK Computer has been said to have prescient insight into the mood of 21st-century life.

      Just my opinion. If you're going to check out more Radiohead I'd stick to this album and the ones that come before. Starting with Kid A and each album to follow they just kept getting more abstract, more experimental and weird. I gave up on them when they released 'Hail To the Thief'.

    I understand the score for Thom's vocal. But if there was a deck of 'Vocalist Top Trumps' playing cards, I think I'd want him in it, because if vocal range or emotion were categories, it'd be a card worth having. Some vocalists have a few songs where the vocals ooze emotion, but Thom seems to have it turned all the way up all the time.

    Totally fair review. I love Radiohead and think this is a superb song. I understand you putting a lower score for vocals and you are correct that people don't listen to Radiohead for Whitney Houston-type vocals. I haven't looked at your other reviews but I am interested in how you rate vocals in general. Because you can have technically great vocals that lack that human touch or emotion. I'm thinking Bublé... (For me, anyway. Autotune kills the feeling). Similarly, sometimes a slightly off sounding voice actually carries the feeling of the song more. I would argue that a beautiful vocal pitch in this song would take away the angsty, uncomfortable, paranoid feeling this song sets out for. So I think the vocals do match the song well whilst still recognising that technically they are not beautifully melodic as stand alone vocals.
    I'd be interested in seeing your review of Nude by Radiohead. I think that review might answer this question for me. Please do that one when you get a chance :)

Radiohead and OK Computer became both my favorite album and band the first time I heard this album, and 26 years later of constant music exploration, yet still nothing has changed those two facts. From this album, check out "Exit Music: from a film" - plenty of choices. Great effort and it is appreciated. They change their style every album, this is their Masterpiece, the next album "Kid A" is their most pure raw experimental creation, and "In Rainbows" is their most perfectly crafter sonic gloriously amazing album. The other 6 are killer as well. Thanks a lot for the vid!

    This album is my pick, hands-down, for Best Album of the 90's. Their previous two were good and lets you see their metamorphosis into , imo, their zenith. They were ahead of their time with this one. One of the best concept albums ever made. About Thom Yorke's voice: Thom is Radiohead and Radiohead is Thom; while not the greatest voice in music, he does have an unique voice however, it conveys an amazing amount of emotion and makes you feel it with him. In that regard, he is as good as any other singer I love. They caught lightning in a bottle with this album and it made you feel exactly how they feel; the album sucked you in and it either validated your existing feelings or made you change yours to fit theirs. It was a perfect blend of Rock and Electronic music with a subject matter that was at times, dark and meloncholic, yet also hopeful and at times euphoric. The present technosociety seems to have caught up to the where the band was and how it felt back in the late 90's. I wish I could go back in time and hear this album again for the very first time- it's magical. Never knew it had Library of Congress status- thanks for including that, it deserves it. Be sure to check out Let Down, Karma Police as well as the rest of the album.

  • @maxmccarty3131
    @maxmccarty3131 Год назад +6

    So I know you're going to get flooded with recommendations because Radiohead's catalogue is genuinely that good, but I'd like to throw in a good word for Reckoner from In Rainbows. Absolutely gorgeous combination of orchestral arrangements, percussion, and soaring vocals with immaculate production. Yorke's voice always works best at the upper end of his register and sounds angelic in that one, but honestly you really can't go wrong with them.
    For just a bit of context, the overwhelming success of OK Computer haunted Thom Yorke and the band so much that they went in completely the opposite direction on their follow-up albums (Kid A/Amnesiac) opting in for experimental electronic arrangements, New Orleans jazz, orchestral supplements and ambient soundscapes. They've been reinventing themselves on each album ever since while remaining uniquely themselves. If you're into avant-garde stuff with crisp production they have tons to offer. Great reaction/review guys! Instant sub

    As far as influence goes, in the very near future when the band decide to call it a day they will be listed with The Beatles and Pink Floyd, they are going to be the holy trinity...
    Personally I would love to see you both react to The National Anthem, How to Dissappear Completely and Spectre, all 3 are very different from each other but its amazing that the same band did them and all 3 are very different to Paranoid Android.

Since you are a fan of well-crafted artistic songs, some Radiohead I would love you to review Pyramid Song (very different hard-to-pick time signature); How To Disappear Completely; Exit Music For A Film; Codex; Everything In It's Right Place; Nude; Reckoner; Subterranean Homesick Alien...that will do, sorry for the overload, I know you will enjoy each of these though.

    Really lovely review.
    Since you want factoids, here's one on vocals that might contextualize your controversial vocal score:
    Thom Yorke changed his perspective on vocalization with this record. He stopped trying to have "pretty" vocals or to stay withing the center of the note. With OK, Computer he began to think of his voice as simply another instrument. This translated to more dissonance, more note-bending, more focus on emoting and connecting.
    So, Thom is not always pristine or acrobatic or flashy, vocally. But he is almost always visceral and transportive and is delivering raw, challenging lyrical content to boot.
    Anecdote (not data): In all of the reaction videos I've ever watched (thousands), almost every instance where I have seen people brought to tears, it's been Radiohead, and that's because it's connecting with people on a level that transcends virtuosity.

    And I'll also look forward to more radiohead! also curious how listening to the From the Basement tracks will change your perception of Thom Yorke's vocal delivery. I think his utter complete control within such a delicate, fragile delivery is second to none, and often the most important instrument in a track. Curious if you'll agree at some point. Cheers!

  • @Hollowsmith

    Music Kingdom, the one that music freaks tend to be blown away by from Radiohead (and Thom's favorite Radiohead song) is "How To Disappear Completely". There's songs like Paranoid Android or Bohemian Rhapsody or God Only Knows that are complex in fairly straightforward way. But "How To Disappear Completely" pulls on truly avant-garde "musicians' musicians" like Scott Walker, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Krzysztof Pendericki, etc. The play between dissonance and consonance in that song is f*cking stunning and truly timeless and majestic. That song is sort of where they crossed into a territory that felt truly magical.

    As a music guy, you might enjoy "Just" off of their previous album, the bends. "Just" is what happens when a couple of music guys decide they're going to cram a song with as many key changes as possible.

    Fantastic work, I subscribed. I'd suggest you to review something by Jeff Buckley if you're not related to his work apart from his most popular one"hallelujah". You could try last goodbye, or grace or mojo pin Or whatever you want his album is a masterpiece in my opinion.

    Just chiming in, so many Radiohead songs to recommend.....but........you need to have a listen to How To Disappear Completely from Kid A. Not many songs bring out an emotive feeling but the composition on this one is for the ages. Don't miss out

    Paranoid Android originally being a 14 minute song is a myth. I haven't been able to find an actual source to back this up over these multiple years of on and off searching. If someone does have a first hand source, please enlighten me.

    OK Computer is a concept album that explores the distrust of modern society's obsession with technology that leads to isolation, paranoia and risk (there are 2 songs that have crashes [car, airplane] as their main subjects and a 3rd that alludes to a potential car crash). Reviewing individual songs without that context dilutes the overall effect and impact of the songs. I suggest several listenings of the whole album to get the best effect as to why some think it is the best album of the late 20th century. Whether you agree or not with that statement it is hands-down one of the best albums of the 1990's I don't think there is a bad track on the album (except FITTER HAPPIER). That's not to discount later albums (I think IN RAINBOWS and MOON SHAPED POOL are both excellent)

    When you go to Karaoke you always can hear a decent Whitney or Celine… but go on, find a good Thom impression! That’s how I rate Thom higher than those, admittedly great ladies.

    I see… I’m going to be the only detractor. Ok. Thom’s voice is not for me. I feel it’s always sitting in that one range of sadness unfulfilled. Always yearning, but never quite getting there. To keep it light, I’ve wondered if Sting showed him some tantric sex techniques and he’s modeled his vocal delivery on edging. Never… letting… go...
    Onto the good things! I love the jazzyness. That first transition into that lower, bass-driven groove is fire. And it’s not just because the vocals stop They go in and commit to that groove. Possibly a little too “Jam Band-ish” to me? But they’re focused and never get lost. I might’ve even liked this section to go on longer.
    I don’t understand that hard break later in the song. Does it relate to the lyrics? Mostly, I don’t get the Bohemian Rhapsody comparison. Queen lets it build and build, vocals soaring to a crescendo so the release into hard rock feels natural and satisfying. Paranoid Android hits you with one hard drop. I don’t feel the tension rise. Doesn’t feel “smooth”. No Sting foreplay. 😁
    In my defense, it’s really hard not liking what’s arguably the best band in the world. So I'm actually looking forward to more Radiohead. Well, I'm really looking forward to more Tool, but Radiohead is something I need to work harder on.

    Paranoid Android is not the song to admire Thom's vocal skills, but as a matter of fact, many of the radiohead you actually do listen to for the vocals of Thom, try the song Nude

      @danpreston564 Год назад

      @@TheMusicKingdom there is, and maybe the metal stuff is a bit niche, but Bowie? Isn’t he part of the musical education of everyone? Anyway, welcome to Radiohead. There’s only about 25 years of wildly different music to discover with their back catalogue. Much you’ll love, some that will leave you perplexed, some that will leave you cold, but it’s all interesting and worth the time investment. After that you can do Thom's solo work, his other projects (Unkle, The Smile (with Jonny), etc), his many collaborations, Jonny's film scores, Phil Selway's solo album from a few years back and probably loads of other stuff I’ve never even heard of.
      To be fair you can claim a varied and eclectic music taste just by listening to Thom Yorke!

  • @taylorchristiansen5219
    @taylorchristiansen5219 Год назад

    Welcome to the world of Radiohead! Is this a great song?Yes but there is at least 20 Radiohead songs that are as good as this one. All different and interesting in there own way. For instance you noted the vocals in this song are not the highlight. But as you dive deeper into Radiohead you will learn Thom Yorke has one of the most angelic voices of all time. Listen to Nude for a spectacular vocal performance. In general the entirety of In Rainbow, Kid A and Ok Computer warrant a listen. I also think a Moon Shaped Pool and King of Limbs have many exceptional songs. Enjoy and have fun listening to greatness! Also if you get hooked on Radiohead check out the Smile I spinoff with Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood that is just as wonderful as Radiohead.

    There are other songs that better show Thom's vocal range and beauty, and the complexity of his vocal melodies and use of his voice as an instrument. I wouldn't at all say it isn't something you expect from Radiohead.

    It's kinda weird that you're purporting to be an expert on all things music, speaking with absolute authority and rating a single tune in the context of every music ever created, and then do a blind review of Paranoid Android because you haven't heard it before. Doesn't add up you know :p
    Though I guess I watched the video all the way to the end so there's that. :) Welcome to Radiohead! My favourite tune of theirs is probably Reckoner.

    The problem with all these reactions is that these are albums a single artistic vision and meant to be listened to as a whole. The music industry has changed so much that none of you youngsters listen to whole albums any more which is how they were totally crafted to be.
