I really like this one, probably my favorite so far! Is this the popular consensus amongst you guys? I would assume it might be, but you guys have listened to this album many, many times by now so it's always interesting to hear what you think :)
That's a big YES, and that goes for a lot of Radiohead fans. Like every other song off of In Rainbows, this one gets better and better with each listen. Love your reactions, and I can't wait until the next one!
i agree, it is - but i did note that the FTB version doesn't have quite the same strong vocal harmony from Ed in the middle section - I think the album version is "made" because of that harmony, among other things, and the FTB version is diminished as a result of not having it.
Reckoner is like a song you hear in a dream and never remember again when you wake up. Its absolutely dream like, ethereal and powerful. Three elements that characterize Radiohead sound. I also has a deep meaning behind it. Just as a dream. Its actually mind-boggling how they can make something so ethereal and convey a song that makes you forget time entirely . Forget time just as in a dream. Anyway, happy to see people enjoying Radiohead.
It always brings me back to the first time I saw them playing this song live...what a trip ! Everybody had their eyes closed enjoying the moment . (But I'm not 100% sure, because my eyes were closed).
The thing about this album is that it sounds intimate, subtle, it takes a lot of emotional and musical comprehension to fully grasp what they did, therefore it grows on you. You will find yourself coming back to listen to some of these songs whenever you go through certain moods. Some of them sound apocalyptical but in a beautiful way, even hopeful I would say. You will cherish that hope and cling to it and eventually, it will become your personal favorite album of all time.
Didn't know of radiohead before this song. It literally stopped me in my tracks when I heard it playing. Just stood there watching the TV it was playing from. They became my favorite band that day and it hasn't changed.
My favorite song on this exquisite album. Definitely my top 5 of all songs ever. Without sounding too morbid, this will be my funeral song. Not that I’m dying any time soon but I adore it!
This album really took some time to grow on me, and in truth, it was more like it infected me. Now it's probably my second favorite they've ever done. Dude. You have GOT TO check out their Live From the Basement where they do this whole record... And some other stuff as well. It's fucking stellar, and the vibe.... The vibe just crushes on those performances. I'm telling you, it'll change your whole outlook on the band. Seriously.
They also did the same showcase for their next record, The King of Limbs, and it is also fucking great. Small, intimate setting with the guys just killing it. 100% great.
Knew you would love this one, it's great and has been covered by some popular artists. I'm sure it's been recommended but there is a live studio recording of this album and this is a stand-out there as well.
It’s daft how good they are 😁 the game to play is trying to find a song you don’t either love , admire or just respect for the craft . Been my favourite band for over 25 years and never let me down ✌️
I've always thought one of the overlooked things about Thom Yorke's voice is that it has an almost American soul/r&b sensibility sometimes. This track is a great example. So is "Nude". On some tracks, Thom actually owes a debt to singers like Marvin Gaye, Donnie Hathaway, and Curtis Mayfield.
Thought you'd like reckoner based on your previous videos. It's one of a few highlights on the album for me! Don't kbow if you intend to bit would love to see you react to 'a moon shaped pool', if for nothing else but the strings. Looking forwards to the next one!
There are some pretty cool remixes of this track. I really like the one The Twelves did, I used it in one of my DJ mixes back around the time it was released.
Radiohead challenge!!! Try to listen to them without closing your eyes and getting absolute lost in the music… bet you can’t! It is scientifically impossible when faced with such perfection!!! And if you can it is scientifically proven you have no soul!
Yes OK Computer. Yes Kid A. But please, don’t skip A Moon Shaped Pool. It’s a really under appreciated album IMO. I’d put it in front of In Rainbows right behind OK Computer and Kid A.
