I can't even explain how much I hated Kid A the first few times I heard it. This sounds so different from all their previous work it was a real shock to us more rock fans it took me years to wrap my brain around. I actually put Radiohead aside for a number of years after the sister album came out but something kept me coming back to it and then it finally clicked. It took a lot of courage for them to change their sound at a time when they were being hailed as the band that was going to save rock and roll and being compared to the Beatles and Pink Floyd. One thing I will say though is that it's great live and you wouldn't think it would because of the massive soundscapes on the record but it translates so well.
Your comment regarding unusual sounds is interesting as the creation of Kid A is when they became very experimental with sound. Ed O'Brian (one of the guitarists) had a difficult time finding his place on the album as they drastically limited the amount of guitar on it. However, he is now an amazing soundscape artist and would highly recommend checking out how he uses his signature Fender Strat which is fitted with a sustain pickup that can create some fantastic sounds, alongside his eye watering pedalboard setup. I would recommend listening to their albums chronologically so you can hear how their use of sound developed over time. All the best!
Really love both versions. Of course this version has so many cool parts and love the glitched guitars. The other version is just slow and beautiful and to me more sad.
People have covered it I guess, but: both are 'album versions' - this one first on Kid A, the other one a year later on Amnesiac (those two albums are kind of twins, with Amnesiac being stuff written/recorded in the same sessions but which didn't make it onto Kid A for one reason or another.) And while I'm here -- let me reiterate my request for Elliott Smith!
Imagine if coldplay weren't boring and had a singer not a vocalist. Thought you were going to bust into something like Toto when you played the staccato part.
just do all of kid a. just do it already. it is the best thing ever done by anyone ever of all time and space. . . so just listen to the whole album already. . . just stop messing around and listen to the alltime greatest radiohead album in one video . . . i am talking about kid a!. after everything in its right place you will need to take a time out, but please do not stop there. the entire album is perfect. . . personally it got me through college, it kept me alive through organic chemistry.
Oh, no no no. You are a real musician, you need to witness the live version. I guarantee your jaw will be dropped from beginning to end. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SLrkE6T_m5Y.html
Erol I’m formally casting a vote for to do album reactions, perhaps starting with OK Computer through A Moon Shaped Pool. Before you listen to too many ad hoc tracks.
At a certain point, tracks from this album have to be heard in sequence in one sitting for the real, full effect. I've never heard an album as cohesive as this one. This album has to be considered as a journey from start to finish with every transition between tracks vital to the feel of the album. Nothing has ever achieved the feeling that this album does of being more than just five guys in a room playing instruments. It feels like being on an alien planet or traveling to another dimension, it's just totally transportive. Sounds over the top but it really does that like no other album for me!
Surprised with the Amnesiac version. I’ve never enjoyed nor had much time for this variant of the track, so it was nice to revisit it, with someone who has a musicians ear. It would be interesting to see how your opinion compares to the Kid A version. The cover is based on a book with the limited edition version of this album coming as a library book.
Cool to see you do both Morning Bells back to back today. They often revisit songs with completely different takes on them. Like they could have gone either direction, so they just do both. One song that's not been mentioned much that would give you a lot to chew upon is Bloom. They did an alternate version for the BBC's Planet Earth: Blue Planet with Hans Zimmer. The original is so evocative of water, both lyrically and musically... Then they used it in a documentary about the ocean. I really think you'll love that one. ,✌️
The first version of this song you listened to actually came out after this one, but the one on Amnesiac is supposedly the "original" version. Kid A and Amnesiac are sort of sister albums. They came out only a year apart and were actually recorded during the same studio sessions!
Thanks, Erol. Yeah, the Kid A version is great, but this one has a real creepy vibe to it, more intimate and low fi. I love them both for what they deliver in different ways. Man, you're spot on getting the chords and melody, so fast too. I bet when you play live, there's no song requested, that you can't play. That'd be a cool patreon video, a live stream where you play requests with your band.
When I first stumbled across Massive Attack in the early 2000’s, fresh into high school, I had Mezzanine playing on repeat for a while and had Angel in my MySpace music player 😂. They, along with Portishead, had me fiending for more Trip-Hop, because I had never heard anything like it at the time. Recommend Angel, Risingson, and Dissolved Girl from this album as well.
You're thanking us... we're thanking you... There is good symbiosis here... You get exposed to new an interesting music and we get to hear new and interesting perspectives on the music we love. You are correct: your channel is not the typical reaction channel. Thank you sir! And yes, I would be down for some music theory. Bring it on!
Radiohead are simply brilliant. The sheer talent of all the members is incredible. They're also one of the most (possibly _thee_ most) musically diverse bands I've ever come across. Constantly changing their style and experimenting with new ideas. They use elements of alternative rock, prog rock, jazz, electronic, ambient, orchestral and several others so you never know what kind of experience you'll get when they drop new music.
Thanks Erol. I love watching people smile at what makes me smile 😃. Thanks to my fellow Warning Army members. I learn so much from you all. Great reaction.
Dig into Shiver, Spies, We Never Change from this album 👍🏼. Interesting chord changes in Shiver that sometimes go unnoticed... especially when you have the correct acoustic guitar tuning.🙌🏻 And We Never Change is great .. interesting chords in the outro with good melody. I actually really live watching your reactions. I can tell you get the same musician's excitement I do. 😊
@@alleyogutAh great Alley! I also really think your dad would get a kick out of the acoustic guitar chords played (by Chris Martin) on Shiver, if you can make them out on one particular section. It's one of those nerdy musical things that my other musician friends are confused by when I play it to them. Guitar is tuned (low to high - E-A-B-G-B-Db and I guess it's less apparent if specific attention isn't focused on that particular aspect. There are actually loads of quite interesting things Coldplay used to do more often in the earlier days.
