I think it stems from the fear that they were never going to be able to get past that one-hit-wonder that was creep. There was almost a desperate attempt to move away from that Pablo Honey sound and prove that they were so much more than that. Fear can be a powerful motivator, but pushing yourself that hard can come at an extreme cost - as it did with Thom.

Ok that's the chord progressions (and that first bit isn't easy), but every fn song has that. But makes it "great"? There's that whiny hook at the coda which is epic and raises the first section with it, but the middle loud section is a bit "bitsy", tacked on and not very inventive at all. Sounds like something of Led Zeppelin's first album, so it would be a ripoff So I kind of understand why the band hate it, because it's not that great at all and a little embarrassing in parts. They have much better recordings than this.

@392Firepower 6 лет назад

No. I don't think so at all. OK Computer can be listened to with a fresh ear right now, in June of 2018, and still sound like it JUST was released. It'll still sound like that in 2045 and 2075, and 2275. If Beethoven, and Brahms, and Bach and Haydn can all survive, why shouldn't a masterpiece such as this?

@DC-js4gk 6 лет назад

392Firepower I'm not disagreeing with you in fact I hope you're right. I just don't think so. As I said, if the Beatles are largely forgotten by the next generation, what hope will a band like RH have of being remembered much if at all? Maybe by very few, not many if any. Still you and I will never know, but my son will have that album for the next fifty years, he treasures it. But 90% of his friends have never heard of RH and many are musicians. God knows what they listen to!

@392Firepower 6 лет назад

Gotcha. I think we're sorta arguing different points. My point is, if some people come across "OK" in the distant future in an old pile of recordings, despite it being "forgotten", it will still sound "fresh", even then. Not that it will necessarily be "remembered". The Beatles are great, yes, and we all love their music (at least the sane among us do), but a listen to any of their stuff will always bring thoughts of the 60's and of "vintage". It just doesn't hold up as a "whole" sound, unlike what RH did with OK. So I think we are talking apples and oranges here.

It's first album I think. They made a sort of standard(ish) heavier indie album first (which was still better than most of the stuff coming out at the same time), then the second was a bit more adventurous and had more of the soaring stuff, and then this album heralded their major shift when their songs got more complicated. It's a kind of halfway to their stuff from Kid A onwards which was another big shift into (not sure of the words to use) a sort of sparser and more electronic sound. Basically - they very quickly got away from 4 min standard sounding rock songs after about an album and a half. It's hard to believe this album is 23 years old now. I think it sounds very unique still because Radiohead are a hard band to do your own version of. Unlike some others who have a very specific sound and then a hundred imitators turn up.

When this came out, I had already been a fan of Radiohead for years, from the time I first heard Creep on the Radio in 1993. Listened to Pablo Honey and The Bends over and over and over. There wasn't a song on either of those releases that I didn't think was amazing. I was 23 in 97 when I first heard Paranoid Android and I can still remember how it made me feel. I felt like I had never heard anything like it before in my life. It, like the rest of OK Computer, was absolutely perfect. A masterpiece. That album was the soundtrack for my life in 1997/98. To this day, nearly 30 years later, I still get all worked up like a 23 year old when I hear OKC. Like the world is still an open road full of adventure just waiting to be had.

I always wonder if musicians such as Radiohead are writing songs with the theory in mind or they just play and write music that sounds good to them. I mean a guitarist can mess around with lots of weird fingering combinations that just feel right or sound right and they build an awesome song. I hve to believe most rock musicians don't know how or why things work, they just do. I'm pretty sure I heard an interview with Jimmy Page saying he doesn't play anything that was difficult for him, it just came naturally. I'm guessing that goes for a lot artist.

@christr1ut87 4 года назад

Some do, some don’t. But even the ones that don’t still do in their own way. When you’ve played for many years without technically knowing music theory, you essentially learn theory without the words.

Steve you are totally wrong about that

Airbag is the one, imo. Such a strange, addictive song. And it packs a wallop if rolling down the windows and letting the woofers exercise.

@Kk12236 5 лет назад

As a drummer, the acoustic guitar part in this song makes me want to get more into playing guitar

@tinmachine693 3 года назад

If you're not a musician,it just sounds good.

@wotsitalabowt 3 года назад

I have had the privilege of seeing them play this live twice, back in the late '90s. It's an unbelievably good, immense song, so hard to play, and they always nailed it live. Absolutely awesome, beyond words.

@jameshw9751 Год назад

Hearing this in 1997, or thereabouts, you just knew that Radiohead was miles above any other band at that time.

@neilpend 5 лет назад

When you play the 'verse melody' on piano (3:21) it showed me two things; Radiohead can do excruciatingly beautiful, and; you Sir, know a tune when you hear it.

@kyleashford9563 3 года назад

Man I got chills hearing the verse melody on just the piano!

One of my favourite Radiohead compositions, and I have a lot of respect for Radiohead in general. Reckon 2 + 2 = 5 would be interesting to break down as well

Quintessential Radiohead ❤️

@soullessSiIence 5 лет назад

The most impressive thing is that Radiohead made a relatively complex song worldwide *commercial* . You have no idea how much talent and audacity it takes to do that (and timing too. Many people underestimate how important it is to know *WHEN* to release a song and exactly how "different" , or "innovative" to make it without being too much or too little. It's like hitting a fly with a bullet in mid air)

@GaryPhelpsII Год назад

God that’s a great song; I was late to the game on this one. One of the best bass lines ever.

@alihart7849 6 лет назад

Such a good song, been waiting for this for ages, pity you couldn't get the individual tracks but still very much appreciated

@chaunceypope5492 4 года назад

I say the Peter Yorke has been left here by aliens from his home world and the notes are him calling his home world to come back and get him. Haunting and catchy but overall sad and I love it. Radiohead is a great band to listen to when you want to clean your room or explore the outer reaches of reality or just sing along to. Love these guys.

@iainprendergast8311 Год назад

Can’t wait to hear Peter Yorke if he’s as good as Thom

@jeremyc9593 Год назад

@@iainprendergast8311 Lol. I used to get Thom Yorke's and Pete Yorn's last names mixed up. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

@Lultschful 3 года назад

That's the song that made me a fan of Radiohead. The first time you're listening to it, you're thinking "What is this madness?" and then it ends and you want to listen in again. And again, and again.

@Tavat Год назад

Radiohead might be the best band in the history of “rock and roll.” And yet you hear almost nothing about them anywhere in public, not since maybe 2004. Just an outstanding band far ahead of their time.

@ryanleone3007 6 лет назад

I have just discovered Rick's videos and they are exactly what I've always been looking for: a deep dive into the theory of rock/pop music. I also love the artists he picks and most of all his love and passion for music which bubbles up the the surface of every video he does.

@cameronburch3532 3 года назад

I've always told friends who don't know Radiohead (or Muse) that they are our generation's Pink Floyd. Such talented musicians!!

@AlyoshaKaramazov. 2 года назад

Absolutely brilliant songwriting. Nothing at all like that in modern pop or rock-at least, not in mainstream hit music. Not even close.

@boardertrashtv8638 4 года назад

Absolute genius how they get all this craziness to work. I’m not musically trained but have a few musicians in the family so I’ve been exposed to all sorts and I remember at the time when I was 17 thinking these guys are pioneering a completely new style of rock. Incidentally my wife went to the same school as Radiohead and I ended working in Abingdon. Nice to see appreciation from someone really respected 👍🏻

@tazador793 4 года назад

That is a very complex song. The way Rick breaks it down is just downright amazing.

@richardnovarajr.4967 4 года назад

A portion of this was used in the ending credits of the amine series "Ergo Proxy" which dealt with androids coming down with a virus which gave them a soul as part of the story line. An excellent track and worthy of it's inclusion to something which demands deep thought. Beautiful piece of music!

@samschellhase8831 4 года назад

I love the claves on the offbeat in the intro too, just fills in the sound a little bit and makes it sound a little more acoustic, it just sounds really nice in there

@Thomasvisions 4 года назад

I just recently found Rick on RU-vid and these song deconstructions that are brilliant. I wasn’t aware of his entire track listing of songs he’s done this to, but I immediately started hoping he had one of Paranoid Android. This song is a masterpiece (and I’m not all that into RadioHead). I wish he had more flexibility on this video with a four track recording and that RHead would let him show us all just how amazing this song is. Rick, thank you for choosing so many great tunes for this series!!!

@stevecowder4774 2 года назад

Wow Rick ! In breaking things down like you have, it's very easy to understand why this could be Radiohead 's best song. They're just so intricately amazing.

@patriciabaldwin3888 6 лет назад

Holy Sh-t, this is fantastic! I'm a Radiohead fanatic and a very amateur musician - you nailed it. Makes me wish I continued my music studies....I admire your musical understanding. Thank you :) Radiohead is the only band I have ever listened too where I love every song - I even try not to....but they are too good. Really fun to hear your analysis.

@Cugelclever 5 лет назад

The 1st time I heard this song, and it was on TV with its perfectly appropriated and amazing video, it was at breakfast when I woke up after my very first night in Amsterdam. I think they aired it just for me, that day. Amazing sound, puts your head into its own bubble. Thanks for your videos!

Spotify has a series called dissect where they breakdown every song on in rainbows. each episode breaking down each song is like 45 minutes. For Radiohead fans it’s an absolute Pandora’s box.
