I too was in college when this came out and I was a huge fan of Radiohead. I unlike you brought the Kid A album home and was instantly blown away. I instantly knew I was hearing something that transcended reality. I was hearing greatness. I and my friends had our jaws dropped with how amazing it was. Unexplainable. So I and my friends are opposite of you where we all instantly fell in love with it and held it high above anything else. Then amnesiac ripped open the barriers of space time fabric. Saw them on the following tour at Red Rocks in Denver. Greatest performance I’ve ever seen by anyone. That era of Radiohead is the singularity
Totally. I was about 14 and already liked Radiohead when I first heard this single. I saw the video on MTV and this band immediately rocketed in my estimation. I didn’t think it sounded strange exactly but certainly original, modern, and extremely cool. I remember feeling that an exciting decade was on its way. Conversely, one of my best friends thought that his CD copy of Kid A was faulty and actually got quite angry when he found out that the music just sounds like that.
For some reason when you asked for something Jacob would like I immediately thought of Bangers and Mash, great straight up rock song with Thom on the drums during the from the basement version, love it!
This album was such a struggle to get through when it first came out. Compared to what had come before it was just so far apart. But after 23 years, this is now one of my favourite albums they have done. It was just so far ahead of its time. We all just had to catch up with Radiohead.
This is the first Radiohead song I ever heard. My brother played the album for me. I absolutely fell in love right away. I'd been listening to the soundtrack for 2001 A Soace Odyssey, and my brother said, if you enjoy that album, then listen to this...
I heard this song in college.. tough times, hard and depressing... but this song gave me a feeling like everything was going to be ok. It has such a depressing tone that for some reason, gives me hope. I love it. Thanks for showing your kid this song. I ll do the same with mine.
This song makes me think of a person suffering of OCD with whispers of schizophrenia. But they are functional and fighting back the brains urge to scramble itself.
“Turned into a couple of months. There were some vacations, some death in the family - nothing too serious” “You know, everyone we’ve ever known, loved and trusted ceased to exist, but it’s no biggie. Now, son, let’s get into that Radiohead” I am paraphrasing quite a lot here. The way in which it was said came a little out of left field in a rather funny dark manner. I am sad to hear someone died and hope you are both alright. Glad to see you back :)
Yeah I shuttered a little when I heard it in editing. Kept it in. It was Jakob's great-grandmother. She lived a long life and now she gets to enjoy eternity, where Radiohead plays on a continuous loop!
Welcome back. I thought there was a glitch in the matrix when I saw that you’d posted another video. Fair score for a first time listen. Having read Ed’s Diary online before the album came out, I thought I was prepared for the change, but I was completely miffed with this. I only started to appreciate it when I experienced it live for the first time.
I’ve been looking forward to you guys posting again. Came here to request Lucky. Similar to your emotional connection to Lift, I have a similar relationship to Lucky. My brother and I were huge Britpop fans and being huge fans of the Bends were eagerly awaiting the release of OK Computer. When we found out they had contributed an original song to the Warchild UK charity album we managed to find an imported copy (we live in New Zealand) and went straight to Lucky. Needless to say we were in awe and pretty much played it not stop for a couple of days. My brother never saw the release of OK Computer (he would have bloody loved it) as he was killed in a car accident in Feb 97, but this song (along with a few Beatles & Oasis tracks played at his funeral) has remained such a special memory which words just don’t seem to be able to adequately express. By the way, I’ve been on RUclips for years and this is literally the first time I’ve commented. Thanks for the passion towards your and my favourite band. Look forward to seeing more.
Some people may find this "Looney" but I will share it anyway. A few years ago I had an extremely profound spiritual experience, like nothing I have ever experienced before in my entire 45 years of life, and while it was occurring and every time I think about the feeling of it this song is what plays in my head.
Totally understand. Musically, there are a lot of reasons to love RH. But those are nothing compared to the emotional (for lack of better word) reasons
Lol, i loved this song the first time ever heard it. I had been listening to the bends a whole lot at the time. Totally missed ok computer and immediately fell in love with this whole album.
Hi guys! Hello from New Zealand :) Just found your channel. This is such a great concept! Don't know why you don't have more subscribers. Scott really knows his Radiohead. I am definitely learning stuff Lol! Everything in its Right Place really takes me back. I too remember putting Kid A into the CD player for the first time and hearing this track and being completely confused. I was really hoping for OK Computer 2.0 and it took me a long time to really this appreciate this album but now I love tracks like this and Motion Picture Soundtrack. The thing about Radiohead is how much their music stands the test of time and no matter how many times you listed to it you can find something new. When I think back to some of the music of their contemporaries that I also liked at the time, their music sounds quite dated in comparison. A track like this could be released now and still be groundbreaking. I can understand why Jakob rated this one so lowly but give it a few years and I'm convinced he will appreciate it!
Welcome back its good to see you, the Smile have recorded a new song called Bending Hectic which is worth a listen. If you are looking for a different band to react to why not try Sigur Ros.
As much as I love Sigur Ros, it might be a bit of a hard sell to someone who often dislikes songs taking their time on the intros and outros. They have songs that don't take their time so much, but would that be missing the point of the band?
@@AngryShuckie yes I agree with you, not many short songs to choose from probably Hoppipolla or Glosoli being the most traditional ones. I was going to suggest Slowdive which would be equally troubling.
@@arma21regency I admit I'd love to suggest Ara Batur anywhere and everywhere possible. I'm very selective with using the word 'beautiful', but my goodness does that song deserve it. I have no idea what Jonsi is saying in it, but that doesn't detract from the experience at all. The intro and outro aren't even long, so I maybe there's a slight chance it could work? Hoppipolla seems like the more obvious starting point though.
Strange, this is the one that made Radiohead finally click for me when I was around his age. OK Computer, The Bends, I could take or leave. But Kid A got me hooked, starting with this song.
Would love to see you guys react to Bending Hectic by The Smile. Haven't heard much of their discography but Bending Hectic is probably the best song of theirs I've heard
I'm coming to this video while I have actually been in the process of finding my appreciation for Kid A.. I heard the record first awhile after it had come out, but before I had heard Hail to the Thief In Rainbows, so it was still the "newest" Radiohead I'd listened to.. and I kind of hated it, I'll be honest. I've matured a lot in how I think about music since then, and I have a lot of appreciation for Radiohead's later work now.. but I'm starting to feel that this record was so far ahead of its time, it took me a long time to catch up, haha. Great, great song.
JEFF BUCKLEY…very obvious if you know the legendary tale of FP Trees…BUT to appreciate his full powers it must be a live song(s), and the amazing Live n Chicago is your best HQ/HD bet. also a much newer girl Natasha Khan from Bats For Lashes is an amazing singer too, recommend the webcast concert she did at the beginning of covid to really appreciate her skills.
Not for anything that Kid A has been described as "the biggest left turn in rock music". Although I had mixed feelings when Kid A came out, it did hit number 1 in the US charts. That is saying a lot; OK Computer only hit 21 on the US charts. I have grown to really like the chord progression of EIIRP over time and now it is one of my favorite keyboard/piano parts to play.
As a long time huge Radiohead fan, the album version of everything in its right place never has really clicked with me. The live version is much better. The album version is a bit of a slog and it feels like Nigel took all the life out of it.
Meh. Radiohead is not the best rock band ever, I think singers was too weak maybe. I dunno. I guess it could be argued. I liked kid A and hail to the thief especially
The Kendrick remix of this song has been all over my FYP. Gen Z seems to really be feeling Radiohead lately, but in their own way, which is cool too.
Hey guys. Steve from England here. Great to see you back. "Bending Hectic" from The Smile next please. Superb!!!
If he likes Bodysnatchers, then Bangers + Mash might be a hit.

Love this song. Love this album. Love this song even better live.

Agreed. They are always just so far ahead. It’s unbelievable.

Glad to see you back! Now everything is in its right place.
Have you guys been thinking of doing a walk-through of the "Kid A Mnesiac exhibition"?
Welcome back. I thought there was a glitch in the matrix when I saw that you’d posted another video.
Fair score for a first time listen. Having read Ed’s Diary online before the album came out, I thought I was prepared for the change, but I was completely miffed with this. I only started to appreciate it when I experienced it live for the first time.
Good to have you back. Kid A is an excellent album.
Idoteque for sure!
Really listen to the whole album non stop and idoteque really hits!

Love all of this. Thanks for sharing. Gonna have to move Lucky up in the queue.
I just love the melody and the feeling all the weird stuff in this song makes me feel.
I still think this track sounds amazing, 23 years on from hearing it for the first time!
Some people may find this "Looney" but I will share it anyway. A few years ago I had an extremely profound spiritual experience, like nothing I have ever experienced before in my entire 45 years of life, and while it was occurring and every time I think about the feeling of it this song is what plays in my head.

glad to see yall back!
Absolutely love Radiohead and I love this idea for a podcast, new subscriber!
Thanks! Let us know if you have a RH favorite we haven't done yet
Lol, i loved this song the first time ever heard it.

Not gonna lie, I really wanted Jakob to "get" this one. But I can't blame him. I didn't get it the first time either.

Thank goodness you're back. I thought we'd lost you. Really looking forward to this video.
"deaths in the family" "so nothing super serious" 😭😭😭
just 100 relistens until he loves this song!

Great to see you back, I thought you'd given up! Brave choice for your return ;-)
Welcome back!
You guys should do Daily Battles
Great vid.. why not try some New Order.. Temptation maybe?
Well if you like the strokes then you should definitely try 'Ode To The Mets'
You know whats really good!?
The song radiohead by talking heads
Do Myxomatosis

Your daughter’s interpretation fucking rules, holy shit. Never heard that angle on it, but it is perfect with how repetitive the song is.
He has to listen to the album front to back or he will never “get it “. You’re doing him a disservice
