    My favorite part about OK Computer is that it’s basically a never-ending loop. We begin with Airbag, where he sings about being in a car accident in which an airbag saved his life
 and we end with The Tourist, where Thom repeats the line “hey man, slow down” before the final, distinct bell note at the end, signifying the sudden “crash”. It’s quite genius, really.

      @Finn Bilham as music though?? Idk, things dont become masterpieces just because they're weird and different. The reality is that it's completely personal and subjective. I don't really care that much for lyrics and story if I don't like the music being played. I can totally respect it though as well as respect others opinion on it, and I'm just curious on what other people like about it specifically. The story? Vocals? Guitar? Rhythm? Harmony?

      ​@@RAEVLOS The hype. Think about how little music is valued in western or eastern education system. It's obvious that vast majority of people don't know anything about music. Neither its history nor theory. Then they get exposed to music with preconceptions, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Radiohead is "good music," and whatever the previous generation didn't like is "bad music." Most people can't even describe what they like or dislike about an album, just look at the comment above you. "It's fucking perfection," that means absolutely nothing LMAO.

    One of the best indie rock records ever penned. Such an amazing piece of music. One thing radiohead did exceptionally well that people don't discuss as much, is arrangement. They are so goddamn good at arrangement. Placing everything exactly where it needs to be in the mix, pacing, adding or subtracting instruments. They really get the maximum emotional mileage out of every little note. The build and break on Let Down for example is a fucking masterclass in arrangement.

    Not only one of the greatest albums of all-time, but one of the best concept albums ever made. Loved it the first time through and was enthralled. Let Down is one of the greatest songs ever written, the lyrics sound like a death bed confession. So purely hopeful while at the same time, so pessimistic- a perfect melancholy. It was a little depressing at the same time, knowing they couldn't make something as great as OK Computer again. Radiohead was decades ahead of their time with this album. On a side note, this is my first time watching your reactions and you are so incredibly insightful, not only in the literal interpretation of them but also on a secondary and deeper level; stuff I never would have thought of. I would compare your highly logical, objective analysis to a Sheldon Cooper but who also has an empathy and emotional knowledge that's fully developed. Love how you layer your narration over the video- makes it quite profound and intelligent. You bring something new, insightful and heartfelt to some of my favorite songs and give a new point-of-view. Thank you for your time and effort and sharing your talents.

    The King of Limbs has a reputation of being "le funny dance music album" because of the Lotus Flower music video, but it's actually a study in minimalism, nature, and vital life forces like breath and rhythm. The album's title refers to a big, ancient tree in England called The King of Limbs. Like that tree, the album sounds like something coming out of some forest druid's ritual. "Separator" starts very lifeless, mechanical, and artificial, with a repeating machine producing an electronic Bb note on a perfect loop, only to open up to the human element of guitar improvisation, singing, and chanting. It's such a misunderstood album.

    One of my favorite albums of all time. As of late, my tastes have been developing toward warm, minimalist, and comforting music which is amazing, but I have been finding myself trying to hang on to the feeling of joy and seeing the beauty in it all while bottling up any oppressive thoughts, but this album just gives me a break and a reason to embrace any negative feelings I've been feeling and let any discontentment, fear, and disappointment flow out of me. Let Down bout made me cry

    Stumbled upon your channel randomly, I really like the effort you put into these reaction videos and your honest transparency when reacting, really super cool! And your intro for this video took me back to how I discovered Radiohead; as a kid in my grandma's basement with my godfather, he was on a MacOS like this and made me listen to track after track via expensive headphones he worked really hard to buy, I'll be honest at the time (and with how young i was) i didn't really get what I was listening to but yeah i don't know, your intro just took me right back to those autumn days in that time in early 2000 where the world was the same and yet so different. I'd love to see you react to Kid A, Amnesiac, In Rainbows or (one of my favorites) Hail to the Thief.

Also, I agree about Queens of the Stoneage, but if you've only listened to "No One Knows," check out the rest of the album, or at the very least, the song "Go with the Flow."

    I listened to this album during one of the busiest weeks of my life, caught up between moving to college immediately after a week long experience at NASA Langley. When flying back, there was a 4 hour layover that was supposed to only be 30 minutes and everyone I had met had left before me. So, stuck in a vacant airport, staring out a window with raindrops tricking down I found this to be my favorite album of all time. Believe me when I tell you that the setting you are in can completely change how an album feels. The resolve that comes with "The Tourist" is unmatched, and it was a perfect embodiment of how life felt. So sitting back, closing your eyes, and enveloping in the song makes complete sense, it's transcendental.

    Are you going to go through their discography in order? Its so good! Theyre my favorite band.
    My favorite off of Ok Computer is definitely No Surprises. It is one of the only songs and maybe the first song that has really made me cry.
    (The other 2 that come to mind are also radiohead songs. Lmao)
    I relate so deeply and personally to the message of being tired, too tired to fight and just wanting to rest. Not even wanting to die, most people dont really want to die, even with depression. Just. No alarms, no surprises. Please.

      @@pathreacts Should do The Bends first, which was immensely praised before OK Computer. As a matter of fact, to many it is debatable between those albums which one is better.
      Some will say the debate instead involves Kid A, but that is more because of the new direction taken rather than overall or track-by-track comparison.
      From your reaction I bet you will like the starting tracks of Amensiac: the first is a masterpiece of complex layers, the second is THE masterpiece of simplicity.
      In Rainbows is mostly sweet and that's why many people mention it.
