hi...you really did an amazing job on your first empressions....the best of all is your truth even about being unsure ....great 😅 ..... are you still listening to radiohead in private ?
Your face during “nude” is basically everyone else’s faces the first time we listened to it lmao!
One of my favourites off the album! I keep coming back to that track, so smooth. Thanks for the comment!
“This is just great music”
Amazing way to put it, in that context.
Great music, indeed.
ALL of their albums are different from each other and really need a couple of listens, I wouldn't go as far as to say they are concept albums but they do all have an individual 'theme' and sound motifs.
I've followed their journey since their 1st album and they way they have evolved is spectacular, nobody else has done what they have IMO.
So excited to check out their other works. The more time spent with this record the more I’m amazed with everything I’m hearing. Thanks so much for your comment!
There’s a “Disk 2” to this album that no one ever talks about. It’s a collection of songs that didn’t make the album that came out as a bonus a couple months later. It’s not really a cohesive album, but there are some great tracks on there.
Also, OK Computer is required listening. It’s often in the discussion for the best album of all time.
I’m likely gonna react to the Disk 2 album soon! I want to hold off on OK Computer a little bit so I can build some anticipation for myself!
Great reaction . Keep the radiohead journey going. Im here for it.
Thanks so much!! The journey continues!! OK Computer soon :)
"OK Computer" has more of a rock base but it is so wide open and spacey and experimental and it is the lead up to "Kid A" and you can hear the transitions - and just like this sound may not be in the same vein which led you to love "Kid A" - 'OK Computer' I think will work the same way for you - the song quality - the tunes and moments are unforgettable throughout - and production is next level, the themes and writing - as "Kid A" and "In Rainbows" are cited as 2 of the best albums of the 2000's, "Ok Computer" is most often cited as the best album if not just the 90's but of all time. However, hey, we all have our vibes with music so maybe it won't be up your alley. But I'd say it is worth it. Radiohead change their sound on every album, though with some common through-lines...OKC notwithstanding, "Amnesiac" is pretty much "Kid A" part 2, they recorded it in the same session - it isn't as cohesive but there are many treasures in there. And the album between that and "In Rainbows" - "Hail to the Thief" - this is where they link what they were doing in the Kid A era to how they got to "In Rainbows" so it may well be something you enjoy, or who the hell knows! Music is so subjective. But one thing is for sure - this band operates at a level rarely found in the history of modern music and however you choose to delve into it, the fewer your expectations the better (easier said than done.) Also, and this isn't exclusive to Radiohead but it is certainly a hallmark of their music - a lot of songs sink into your brain and may not just take a few listens but for me it has been years before a song I used to skip became one of my all time favorites. Remember, while Thom Yorke is the songwriter, the number 2 in the band is lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood whose 2nd gig is an orchestral movie music composer, and he is the real deal, he has 2 Oscar nominations - so he is putting in elements that are deep and really sink into the subconscious to reveal themselves god knows when. I seriously recommend watching "In Rainbows: Live From the Basement" as it is a pinnacle moment in the band history and seeing them perform all these songs live - just 5 guys, no crowd, no tricks, creating these soundscapes in real time and it sounds arguably better than the studio version - it really creates a connection and an "ah hah" moment that takes the Radiohead journey to an entirely different level. Well done, thanks and peace!
So appreciate all the context here!! Honestly reading this has gotten me so pumped to check out there other work, as I am so intrigued by the artists who choose to push boundaries when it comes to their craft. The idea that their records don’t blend together but rather feel so uniquely crafted is what gets me so excited about music in general. Their willingness to take risks and try new things. Amazing. Thanks so much for your comment and I hope that you’ll join me for the rest of my Radiohead journey!! More to come sooooon!!
@@sickocam Right on man - from a pure 90's alt rock guitar crunching band with the first album, to a huge leap ahead and some amazing song writing and new sonic ideas on the next to breaking through on the 3rd with "OK Computer" to all-time global legend status, then taking what is called 'The Biggest Left Turn is Music History ' on the next "Kid A" (I loved 'OK Computer' SO MUCH al I wanted was like Part 2 and they came out with this sound from like Neptune or beyond that was so different and to this day, I think nothing else sounds anything like it -'Kid A' that is - it turned me off my favorite band for a few years, that is how different it is - thank god I came back (it was "In Rainbows" that brought me back)and now I love 'Kid A' - masterful - it isn't one of those 'oh it takes a few listens' for me it took a few years, not to say that'll be your experience as the sounds 23 years later seem to resonate more with the generation now that I was when it came out) - it took me coming back with fresh ears to appreciate that album and now I see it as one of the most unique pieces of art as music you'll ever find - they just keep changing every album while retaining their core, and it throws you off a lot as you go, but the song writing and sonic universes are always there. and with patience, growth of tracks that don't sound right initially but sink in later, as a super fan I am biased and respect other people feeling this way for other bands and that is what makes music great - as I also feel about say Pink Floyd, but if you like these concepts, this is a band that absolutely is worth the journey.
@@dreww1609I should do some Pink Floyd on the channel as well! I’ve only ever heard Wish You Were Here and that was super recently!
Hello Drew good post as usual.
You're in for a treat.
Make your way up slowly and finish with Comfortably Numb live at Pulse.@@sickocam
Drew already said it but I would highly reccomend the two basement sessions they really are some of the best live music I have ever heard.
You should definitely listen to OK Computer, one of the greatest album of all time. The production, the lyrics, the atmosphere, its all perfect.
On the wayyyyy! Appreciate the comment!😊
Brilliant album. I have to say having been a Radiohead fan for my whole life and having bought this on the first day it came out, Faust Arp is by far the biggest grower on here. Love that track.
You should check out the Grammys clip when Thom and Johnny play 15 step with the USC Marching band backing them. It’s insane 🔥
Radiohead is all about sick arrangements.
I will always be onboard for Radiohead reactions I put them up there with the Beatles and all the other greatest bands.
Radiohead and Beatles first reactions definitely on the way! Thanks for your comment!
In Rainbows is brilliant. The In the Basement of this album is phenomenal.
yeah we need ok computer now..
That’s coming! Thanks so much for your comment!
Please more Radiohead sir! Thank you!
Will do! Thanks so much for your comment! :)
Arpeggio (Italian: [arˈpeddʒo]) is a type of broken chord in which the notes that compose a chord are individually sounded in a progressive rising or descending order. Arpeggios on keyboard instruments may be called rolled chords.
The husband thing is a nod to 1970s swingers clubs in wife-swap parties, a bowl of keys was indicator for which husband ended up with the keys of which random other wife.
Every one of their albums sound quite different and I would not really say OKC is rock as you probably define it, high art and production and amazing songwriting and atmosphere again I can not state it enough how different each album sounds its like they reinvent themselves each time and build upon what came before and blend it in amazing ways.
This is what I love about artistry! The ability to reinvent yourself with each new piece of work is incredible!
The more you listen to their albums the more your favorites will change for me the big revelation was Weird Fishes which I did not love on the first few listens then finlly started to understand the really sick arrangement the guitars playing in different time signatures ect.
my interpretations for weird fishes/ arpeggi is that the narrator would be seduced with a relationship, he was at the bottom of the sea and would choose to go with the person because who would want to stay at the bottom? after the relationship fails, the narrator would then be at the bottom of the sea again, where weird fishes comes into play. the saying “there’s other fish in the sea” could be an explanation of the use of the animals, and the lyrics shows how there’s weird fishes and worms surrounding him. the only thing he hasn’t found yet is an actual fish that he wants, and instead he keeps getting weird ones and worms (failed relationships). weird fishes/ arpeggi is one of my favorite radiohead songs and i hope you can enjoy/understand it a little more bc of my interpretation! =)
Some of the things I interpreted is falling to deep bottom of the ocean where indeed there are weird looking fishes. Lots of metaphor in it (not literally water based)
This is such a special record, and I thought your comments were very perceptive. Nice one.
You're a great reactor dude, I hope you come back to do more videos! Did you ever end up checking out OK Computer?
This is my favourite album ever. Let me tell you this gets better and better as you listen to it. Specially songs like weird fishes... For me it went from a cool song to my fav song ever
Definitely go back to OK Computer but you are going to fkn LOVE A Moon Shaped Pool... And Probably King of Limbs too which is glitchy and weird as hell...
Honestly, I’m thinking of maybe doing A Moon Shaped Pool next, and build up some hype for myself to go to OK Computer eventually! First time hearing about King of Limbs so I’ll keep that in mind as well! Thanks so much for the comment :)
Do yourself a favor and react to The King Of Limbs live from the basement it really is so much more accessible and has songs that are great that they did not put on the record.
@@jameshannagan4256 good to know! Thanks!
I recommend checking out Thom's Yorke's the Eraser for some Kid-A-adjacent electronic vibes!
Arpeggi is just Arpeggio without the o. According to Wikipedia, the best encyclopedia that anyone could edit, an arpeggio is "a type of broken chord in which the notes that compose a chord are individually sounded in a progressive rising or descending order".
I'd say Weird Fishes has a bunch of rising and descending, especially with the context of its music video.
Oh, if you want more In Rainbows vibes, the album has a B-Side album which I'd argue is about as good as In Rainbows itself.
Appreciate the context! I reallyyyyy should do a reaction to the B-side record. Need more In Rainbows vibes in my life haha. Thanks for the comment!
Look at the video Scotch Mist - sorta at a remote cabin in the woods, jamming.
Also, In the Basement showcases how they can just CREATE without a lot of studio tricks.
Awesome reaction! Wondering in general if it’s common to skip Amnesiac because I have seen a number of people do that.
How can you cut on the chorus of Jigsaw??😮 It’s one of the highlights! Other than that, love your reaction😊
We're the weird fishes. A normal fish eats worms. We get eaten by the worms.
Faust arp was my least favorite. Now its my favorite
Will def check it out! Thanks for your comment!
I love Faust Arp, even though in the context of the album it almost always felt like a filler or pallete cleansing track. Maybe not to the extent "treefingers" or "fitter happier". Sometimes my first instinct would be to skip it, but by the end of it I've always wished that it was 3 minutes longer.
If you want Kid A with drums, King of Limbs is for you
Arpeggi is the plural of arpeggio so it makes sense
Nice
Check out 2006 coachella version of Videotapes. It has a totally different sound. Its syncopated byw, if it wasn't mentioned in comments or video lol. Im on jigsaw rn
House Of Cards makes me feel like I am in a cave.
He cookin
Haha, thanks for the comment 😂
Everyone’s saying ok computer for him but I personally think that A Moon shape pool is more like Kid A . Cheers
Thanks so much for the comment, I think I may do A Moon Shape Pool next!
12:10 😂😂😂😂
can you react to Kid A
no drum machines mate!!
hello! if a send you my band, can you make a reactioon video? its rock fusion instrumental from chile!
Send the music over! Would love to check it out.
@@sickocam any mail for send it? ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Up-paced? No. Actually probably opposite. Just different. Scaled much differently.
“Arpeggi” = arpeggio plural. This song features this musical element. It’s not deep. Regarding “Faust Arp”, Faust was a character who sold his soul to Mephistopheles (the devil) to become youthful again
Please reaction wilco
Never heard of them before, but because you commented, I will!
@@sickocam 😱 Wilco is good👍
This is not a continuation to Kid A, honestly.
go out forget ur glasses and now be hard?
Bro stop talking about "the opps" it's not a rap album lmao
Just having some fun 😅
