      if you're below 15 years i old i understand, yes the music is shit, relisten to it when you're 18. If you're 15 or older and you said that that means you don't know how to appreciate rap, jazz, and hiphop. Get education on that shiz son

      I have no fucking clue what hes talking about when he said there's "so much violence against women" in the album. I've listened to the album at least 100 times and I dont think I ever noticed him talking about domestic violence or anything alarming.

      @@chefsweaty6744 maybe hes talking about metaphorical violence, especially rapping shit bout his mom and his ex.

      Simple Guy I'm the same. In Rainbows is still my favorite Radiohead album, which automatically made any follow-up a difficult feat to successfully pull off, largely because IR was so damn good, that no matter how good the follow-up would be, it would de facto pale in comparison.
      With that said, King Of Limbs was a bore to me at first. About half-a-year later, though, it grew on me. Massively. It still pales in comparison to In Rainbows, but it's a damn fine album, w nary a boring track on it, imo.
      I saw them live on both tours, both times near Cleveland, and I even liked the KotL setlist and show better than IR.

    • @mcintosh1719
      @mcintosh1719 Před 6 lety +15

      Yeah, I didn't quite agree with his points against it either. I think he focused too much on things like "what genre the album was going for" or "what it meant to their career as a whole", which aren't a good measure of the quality in my opinion. I thought it had some interesting ideas. There were definitely some extremely cool rhythmic concepts on this album. It's the only time I've ever seen two drummers implemented in a non gimmicky way. They actually created beats that cannot be done with one person, and just did really cool stuff like mixing different subdivisions simultaneously. I wish he would have given SOME credit to that creativity. I think Fantano listens to music very differently than I do, and that's sort of why I like hearing his opinion, but I don't know, I just thought he focused on the wrong things with King of Limbs.

    I appreciate this video a lot, and the intent behind it (as well as what you said about the 2 Chainz and Danny Brown records), even though I still like Hotsaucecomittee a lot, and i think King of Limbs is tied for my favorite (with AMSP, and lately, Kid A) of Radiohead, but more so, their "most flawless" record, and one of the weirdest dance albums ive ever heard. It's mood is so hard to characterize, because it's tense and a little empty, but cathartic and haunting. i love the rhythm-based direction theyve been going in this century, and this record helped me get through some rough mental health times with its strange, minimal inspiration to dance and ponder and be sad, until the 2nd part of Separator where the guitars come in ("i fell open/i laid under") and feels like a little bit of hope drips in to a dreary everyday life. idk, i like how economical the songs and production are, like the Robert Bresson idea of "getting rid of all but what's essential from the work." it's grown a lot on me over the years (weirdly, the opposite of OK Computer for me.)
