All their albums sound very different from from one another and there are many reasons why they are probably the most critically acclaimed bands since the Beatles. There is also many reasons why so many Jazz and even Classical musicians love and cover them.
More Radiohead in your ife is always better than less.
A couple of tracks that don't often get reacted to from this album are Electioneering, which is more aggressive sounding and punchy, and Let Down, which is just beautiful. The album works really well, listened to as a whole. It's a commentary on the disconnect we feel as a result of how our society is going.
Let Down is arguably their best song full stop. Took me a good dozen listens to appreaciate it’s genius. It’s all in the lyrics, the understated simplistic yet beautiful melody, with the cherry on top being that steady irresistible crescendo.
More Radiohead sir!!!! Thank you and sorry for your loss brother
keep checking out their catalog! every song on In Rainbows rocks. my personal favorite. and just FYI, most bands got their influence from radiohead. these guys were doing it first, but you're hearing it with 25 more years of music experience
every album is a masterpieces except king of limbs ..I like a few songs off it but it's and Pablo honey is meh
but all other albums are life-changing
@@suejonmeyers8362 listen to the live king of limbs performance from In The Basement and you will have a better opinion of it
8:37 "And the vocals are still kind of working towards growing on me. Again, I don't love them just yet."
Me, thinking: Well that's just about to change. :)
Thom has name checked R.E.M, The Pixies, Neil Young and Jeff Buckley as influences and because they are British, Pink Floyd and The Beatles are obvious influences, they are ingrained in our culture over here.
They were starting to listen to a lot of Electronica at the time this was recorded especially DJ Shadow, Massive Attack and Portishead.
Thom said that a lot (but not all) of the song is about an encounter Thom had with a horrible coked up woman at a party in L.A, he spilled a drink on her outfit and she went crazy with all the "do you know who i am?, you are nothing, you shouldn't even be here, my outfit costs more than you make in a year"......
rumour is the party was for Radiohead ! and she was a record company executive who didn't even know who they were, she was just there to be 'there'. Thom said the look in her eyes was one of the most disturbing things he had seen.
There is a few lines in the song about her.. you will be first against the wall.. piss (rain) down on me from a great height..kicking screaming gucci little piggy, yuppies networking..
The last line had to be changed as well.. it should be "god loves his children, thats why he kills them, yeah"
No one listens to enough Portishead either
The extreme variations in this song reflect the subject of it.
The robotic voice is by a text to speech program from an Apple Macintosh computer at that time. It had a name, like a man's name but I can't remember what it was.
Edit! I think it was Fred, the name of this specific voice in the software 🙂 You can hear it better in the track Fitter, Happier from the same album
So glad you are doing Radiohead your heartfelt reaction to High and Dry is what got me in to reaction videos to begin with but nothing was as powerful as yours I felt that reaction.
The robotic voice under "what's that" is a text to speech voice from early Macs
They are fantastic live so anything from the basement would be great Reckoner, Bobysnatchers, Weird Fishes or All I need would be a good start.
Every time I hear the studio version of this song, I'm disappointed it's not the live version they played on "Later with Jools Holland" in May 1997. ruclips.net/video/NzPtr_n-m8A/видео.html
That performance goes beyond legendary. Bonus points for it being their "comeback" after the Britpop era, so it must have left people absolutely speechless.
Regarding the "I may be paranoid but I'm no android", I've heard it said that it was Stephen Hawking's voice, but haven't seen anything to corroborate.
Street Spirit is my favorite by them but love the ending of this song.
Really enjoyed your honest and thoughtful reaction - keep going with Radiohead, genreless is a good take, they do everything - try Pyramid Song ...
Great reaction, I don't know how you managed to pause at every transition point in the song.
Might I suggest getting a de-esser? Its hard on the ears when I listen with headphones at work.
I enjoy your channel, keep it up
Yes... always rewind a tad... and if you can, wait a moment. The song goes EvErYwHeRe... places you didn't know it needed to go.
I maintain, the deeper you delve (into Radiohead), the better person you'll be.
Radiohead is best listened to live. The Basement live recordings are so much better than the album versions.
I appreciate that you take the time to review and interpret the lyrics. Keep going!
What you call the song being "all over the place", merely is the fact it was written structure like was done with Bohemian Rhapsody with different movements / parts, but end to end, especially if you hear it a few times, it becomes that they are not all over the place at all and it's a very consistent structure all the way through.
It was actually a bunch of songs that they couldn’t finish so they mashed them together as a solution , it wasn’t intentionally conceived as a suite
@@CC-oi9mc You are right, from an interview with Colin Greenwood: "We’d had a drink - but only one. Orange juice with vodka. And we were in this large wooden ballroom. We’d lit candles. And we were jamming, which is something we’d never done before. That brought a spontaneity, which helped the song come to life. It’s essentially three different songs stitched together. Were the lyrics there from the very start? I don’t remember."
My version probably came from something I read from someone's opinion, not a band member.
@@voiceover2191 Radiohead are known for not giving up on old or unreleased material - nude was written during the ok computer sessions, the national anthem is based on a song thom yorke wrote when he was 16, true love waits was probably written even before ok computer, burn the witch was an old rehearsal jam
In terms of the big transitions, they took influence from songs like the Beatles' Happiness is a Warm Gun and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Check them out.
Love your stuff, if you want more Radiohead you should definitely listen to "Reckoner" or "Fake Plastic Trees". Would love for you to hear more Yob too!
I don´t agree about the song being all over the place. If you stop it that could be the impression, but from beginning to end it flows gracefully even with all the switches. The same happens with the album, the songs flow perfectly and the whole experience is listening to the album from beginning to end. Wonderful album really in every aspect. And yes, being from the 90s the album captures the zeitgeist of this 21st century, it´s relevant today even more than when it came out.
really enjoyed your reaction man ..and you keep it real ... please do check out some more radiohead... other albums have their own unique feel, which you may or may not prefer :) .... perhaps from in rainbows, the bends... or dare I say, kid a ... :)
I remember when the album came out, some were calling it the 'Dark Side of the Moon' of the 90's.
Rest in peace to your friend 🕊️❤️
Also Pink Floyd is very solid and common comparison for this song, obviously this doesn't sound like a pink Floyd song completely but you can definitely hear an influence.
Great job!
It has many changes, like bohemian rhapsody! This tune fits with a specific mindset, I feel. This was never my kind of music, but OK Computer, is my all-time favourite album!
I'd definitely do this album from front to back. Its like a Floyd or Tool record in that regard. Certainly thematic.
Random fact: The anime Ergo Proxy used Paranoid Android as their outro/credits song for all of the episodes. Considering the plot of the series, the choice to use this song was quite apt.
i think you would enjoy the madness but calm collective of a band like Modest Mouse? a song titled Bukowski is a good start. sure your friend dug them. my condolences dude
Watch there live with jools Holland version of this. It’s epic.
Radiohead is weird in is good way is a perfect description
It IS a robot saying the “I may be paranoid…” line. It’s an early Mac application, not a human voice
Genre-less?! Dude! The genre is Radiohead! 😲
First time I heard this song and this band was on anime call Ergo Proxy.
It’s funny that prog heads appreciate Radiohead so much. “We hate all progressive music” - Thom Yorke (real quote) 😂
Yet is inspired by talking heads, This heat and the residents(particularly with the smile) I think he was being a bit ironic with that quote. I think he likes progressive post punk but not full on prog.
System of a Down would do a good cover of this.
Agreed!
welcome me to your world. radiohead fan me.
bless your late friend
I love this song
Jonny Greenwood was really into Pink Floyd around the time this album was recorded.
Karma Police feels like a prediction of cancel culture to me.
React to more radiohead please
#hog4life
Maybe you should stop more often during the song as you listen.... Why not do a full listen through and then make up an opinion. It's like hitting those speed bumps in the grocery store parking lot for god's sake. Is that how you listen to your girlfriend when she's trying to tell you about her day ? Come on man, give the creators a chance to make their case without interrupting every 12 seconds please !!!!!!
