@@subterraneanhomesickalienyknow whats funny, im a massive radiohead fan, i loved ok computer when i first listened to it, so then i listened to kid A and….. I didnt get it, but then it started to grow on me so i listened to in rainbows and…… I didnt get it, after a ton of more listens i dont understand how u could not like kid A and in rainbows, kid A is actually my favorite radiohead album with this and ok computer being pretty close behind
@@Henry-Doss Same thing here, with In Rainbows especially. I hated it so much when I first heard it, and now I have no idea how I could have had such a reaction. Some of my fav songs are on this album. Nude, Weird Fishes, and RECKONER?! How could I have not LOVED reckoner? Maybe my top song. It's so weird how radiohead albums always hit like that.
What's crazy if I've been listening to that song for years and when I finally paid attention to the lyrics I realized it was talking about my failed relationship/marriage after I was divorced.
Ya hafta admit that Radiohead offers the best music for repeat listening. They are do adventurous, creative, and enmeshed in recording so much audacious nuance that they deliver music that never gets old. It’s very rare that popular music can be so iconic, not in a nostalgic way, but in a way that concerns its details.
Watch in rainbows in the basement or even react to it, its a live performance with a lot of other songs in the tracklist. Its beautiful seeing them all play these songs live
Facts it wouldn’t even be too soon to listen to it because it’s a totally different vibe and you’ll get even more of that feeling from hearing the songs a 2nd time
I love this album. Some fun facts about it: - "Nude" was worked on for about a decade. It was first recorded during the sessions for OK Computer, and the band kept tinkering with it because they weren't satisfied. The final version was rearranged around a bassline written by Colin Greenwood, the bassist. - The intro to "Nude" is a specific stem in the outro reversed. - The cheers heard in "15 Step" are the cheers of children from the Matrix Music School & Arts Centre in Oxford. The band wanted the kids to clap along to the drums, but the unconventional 5/4 time signature was difficult for them to follow. - Videotape is the band playing a trick on you. The true downbeat is actually half a beat after the supposed downbeat. It's more noticable in the 2006 live performance of the song. - On "Reckoner", the album title is sang by the backing vocals at the runtime's golden ratio (~1.618 or 61.8%).
the videotape one is very on the fence for me, the bonnaroo 06 recording definitely has that syncopation, but they ultimately took away the idea in the recording or at least made it not matter as much by giving no rhythmic context that confirms or denies that it is there. very interesting talking point, but as for the recorded album version i would say that there's no way to confirm if it's there or not, darn it radiohead!
@@carterulery Not only does every performed version clearly indicate the true down eat, but the drum machine starts playing a hihat on the downbeat at 3:06 in the studio version.
fun fact about house of cards, those little bow sounds aren’t actually violins, jonny greenwood (the lead guitarist and multi-instrumentalist of radiohead) just used a coin on his guitar part to make it sound like a violin! it’s a very cool technique, as cool as this reaction. in rainbows is probably my favorite radiohead album and your reaction summed up how i felt first time i listened to this album.
I'm a guitarist and there's a variety of tricks you can do to make a guitar sound like a violin. The easiest way is volume swells, similar to adjusting the attack on a synthesizer.@@SoloRicky_
All I Need is one of my favorite Radiohead songs. The line "I am a moth that just wants to share your light" is so beautifully devastating. Nude is another of my favorites, as well. And Video Tape. I love all the sad songs. 😂
With Radiohead it doesn’t matter if you’ve heard a song before. Years of listening can reveal new musical depths and lyrical clarity. They’ve been my favourite band for 30 years and I still hear new depths. It’s one reason why they are unparalleled - in my opinion. They never get boring, only deeper.
Thank you for providing me with this life giving content I stg no one in my life will give me the time of day with this shit 😂 I’m basically grabbing people by the shoulders and screaming “but… BODYSNATCHERS though” and met with blank stares lmao god bless you
I don’t know you @andginisin but I know what you mean. I watched this clip about what it’s like being a Radiohead fan and thought I’d share it with you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JLrCGgA0bEY.htmlsi=K1NWzj6lIRnLHVT3
It's such a good feeling to see young ppl discover Radiohead. If the youngsters are able to appreciate music like this perhaps we are not entirely lost... yet
45:25 - I just fully read the lyrics of "Videotape" and after years of listening to this album fully grasped the meaning of this song and its so sad but beautiful, so delicate but so heavy. My heart is breaking and swelling at the same time. ❤💔
All I Need’s final crescendo is in my top 5 favorite song endings of all time. And you’re right-Radiohead has a certain knack for it. Makes me so happy to see others react in much the same way I have, countless times before.
Omg I loved your reaction! There’s still so many albums from theirs to check out. Before OK Computer, The Bends really helped launch their career commercially after the success of Creep. It has some of their biggest hits and is 90’s in the best way! Some of my personal favorites are on that project and it is super solid. After OK Computer they delved head first into electronic music with Kid A, it’s pretty experimental and generally more ambient and meditative than OKC. It was pretty divisive at the time of release because of how much of a departure it was from their previous sounds, but is now pretty much universally praised and respected as one of their best. Finally their most previous record A Moon Shaped Pool is their most cinematic, somber, and relaxed projects. If you loved the strings on In Rainbows, this album is full of them! Johnny Greenwood, one of the guitarists of the band, has worked on film scores and is one of the strongest members of the group personally. He’s super innovative and versatile with his talent among many instruments. Sorry for the essay I just love this band hehe. Thank you for the great video and experiencing this beautiful music with us! ❤😋
Phil said in an article recently that he thinks they're going to be getting back in the studio sometime soon. So AMSP might not be their final. Hopefully 🤞
One of the best albums by the greatest band since the Beatles. A Moonshaped Pool is a stunningly beautiful album too 👍 There's actually another bonus disc of songs to this album. Bangers and Mash & 4 Minute Warning are two I distinctly remember
These reactions are a joy to watch, love how hyped you get, especially at the end of All I Need. Radiohead are so good at building up a song and paying it off with an amazing outro
I think Give Up the Ghost and In Limbo are tracks he’d enjoy as well, it goes with the calmness he enjoys. (I know In Limbo isn’t technically calm but the instrumentation is very soothing.)
I hate doing this where right after a reactor reacts to an album I immediately recommend another but I think to have a good understanding of Radiohead as a band you HAVE to listen to "Kid A" which was the album that was released right after OK computer and is a mind blowing left turn for the band and music. Its much more experimental and at times a little harder to get into at first listen but its regarded as a masterpiece right alongside In rainbows and OK computer as their 3 masterpieces. Glad you liked In Rainbows its my favorite as well!
For me this the real Radiohead sound, it is the album where they perfectly blend their alternative rock/experimental sound. This is for me, their best album. This is the mature Radiohead prime! ❤
I had so many feelings watching this. First video I've seen of yours, but your pure love of music is so evident and something I intensely identify with. I was reacting along with you like "YESSS he GETS IT" and it was like hearing the album for the first time even though I've loved it for years and keep coming back to it, probably will forever. Thank you!!
fun fact, the oohs in reckoner are actually saying "in rainbows" that little fact just adds so much depth to that song. that just makes radiohead even more of my fav band
You mention at 33:20, that your favourite part is that section in 'reckoner' when Thom Yorke sings the words 'In rainbows'... Interesting to note that if you apply the 'golden ratio'/Fibonacci sequence (which is a mathematical equation, that, once applied to art can highlight the most aesthetically beautiful section of that piece). from google: 'The golden ratio (also known as the golden section, and golden mean) is the ratio 1:0.62. Use it to divide lines and rectangles in an aesthetically pleasing way' . Well when you apply the golden section calculation to the album 'in rainbows', the exact point of the ratio is that part of the song in reckoner where the words 'in rainbows' is sang! Look it up, absolutely crazy! and apparently according to the band, completely an accident.
Thanks for putting this out - I had the same reaction, kind of blew my mind the quality of this album. For me "OK Computer" will always be my favorite, I think it is the band's highest achievement. BUT, "In Rainbows" is them at their very best, most luscious cohesive zone talented best. They are really neck and neck. Their 3rd 'GREAT' album, as in historical legendary greatest all time list albums, is "Kid A" - however that is their like Modern Art work masterpiece. It is a sonic experimental journey - it threw me off so much back in the day, I took time away from the band as I was expecting "OK Computer Part 2" and it is such a massive turn. Then "In Rainbows" came out a few years later and I fell back into Radiohead world, and then let "Kid A" sink in, it takes several listens for a lot of the songs to hit (but when they do they're with you for life) and to see it as this complete work of art. To hear the more Rock version of the band with a TON of great songs, "The Bends" is epic, and for the more lush violin vibe, "A Moon Shape Pool" the last most recent 9th album is great. And last but not least - to me the best moment and highest point of anything to do with Radiohead - which is saying a lot for their career - is to watch "In Rainbows: Live from the Basement." It is the stuff of legends, and a way to see the band, just the 5 guys, not only recreate the sonic landscapes live, no tricks, just insane musicianship and talent, but it sounds even better. Really connect to what the band is all about seeing that - whether as a reaction or for your own enjoyment, it's one of the best hours you can ever spend in life. Really enjoyed your reactions, keep doing it, excellent work man. Peace//
I always love seeing someone discover Radiohead. I wish I could go back to the days where I was just like you, stunned at how mind-blowing they are. It's just another level. On your outro you really captured exactly why we all love them. It's the care and joy they have for music. See them live if you can! Just remember, after 15-20 years following the band, every song is so detailed and complex that I still discover new things and the songs don't always click immediately. After a few listens though, they just become overwhelming. Good luck in your Radiohead journey! Also, like others said, you should do videos of both From the Basement sessions. Kid A will be a big challenge. It was after OK Computer and they hated becoming a huge band because they thought they were becoming a money-making brand, and not artists. They were depressed and lost. So they abandoned the radio friendly vibes and went very experimental. At first its crazy weird but after a while you see they went to a place that no other band has ever been, it's almost like a new planet of music. To escape the money-making corporate machine, they took a huge risk and became the best band in the world.
Sitting down and critically listening to a Radiohead album is good for anyone's brain. It makes better artists and listeners with a touch of therapy sprinkled on top.
Lets goooo!!! I literally just watched your video reacting to radiohead for the first time and came to the channel looking for more, posted 16 minutes ago 😂
I got a lot of shit to comment lmao but they put this album out in 2007 for free on the internet as a pay what you want type thing which was never done before, hella cool that the people who make the best music just do it for the people
There is a reason why Radiohead is one of the most well reviewed albums by critics and fans lol. In Rainbows is such a succinct package and there's never a down moment! I felt you're entire reaction I was so flabbergasted after Nude then it hit me with Weird Fishes I was like SLOW DOWN aagh. If I were to suggest the next album it would either be The Bends or Kid A. There also also a bunch of other artists I'd recommend too like Bon Iver, half.alive, Black Country New Road and Quadeca!
i love to see people reacting first time radiohead cause make me feel like im listening for the first time again. Keep going bro you really got good taste in music
Love your reaction, genuine a.f!!! Keep it up with the Radiohead reactions. I’d recommend In Rainbows From the Basement when you have a spare moment😉 Watching them play it live in studio is something to behold.
Holy shit bro, I was just watching your OK Computer reaction last night and I was wondering if you were going to do a reaction to In Rainbows eventually.
Your reaction is one of the best I've ever seen to In Rainbows, great watch man! I highly recommend their latest album A Moon Shaped Pool from 2016 based on your love of strings, it's a sadder album than In Rainbows but it has a very cinematic quality to the songs.
I loved watching this. So happy to see this music transcends generations. Your reaction to Reckoner is so similar to mine and I'm a 49 year old woman. House of Cards is such a great follow on from it in that its this beautifully cheesy sexy song.
i got a playlist that is Radiohead and its combines all the different albums and songs together with good transitions and flow that truly shows how good this band is.
Loved your reactions to this album dude. “An immense amount of love” = sums up what Radiohead and Thom Yorke put into everything they do. No time spent listening to Radiohead is time wasted. One of the greatest bands of all time.
You should listen to A Moon Shaped Pool sometime. Maybe not next but it is still an amazing Radiohead album. Edit: Also eventually Kid A, however I must warn you. Kid A is definitely strange to say the least. Edit 2: Also i forgot to say W vid as always
Loved your unbridled enthusiasm for what is more of a mellow album at first listen but you clued in to the momentum that this can have once you’re locked into it! I’m late to the party but I highly suggest checking out the dissect podcast season which does like a whole college course on the album and breaks down each song lyrically, musically, and whatever other adverb you want. One of my fav albums! Glad you enjoyed it!
Not sure anyone else mentioned this, but there's a Disc 2... and it has some of the best Radiohead songs ever. Last Flowers, 4 Minute Warning, and more.
