@@obaip952yo what?
Aaand why no b side?
Nude intro is the outro backwards. Been said before but is a nice touch
@@chrissharp3466someone listened to the dissect podcast 😉
Nothing pleases me more than watching people discover this beautiful music for the first time
right. Because its life changing and we get excited to see the feeling we felt when we first listened.
"I'm an animal trapped in your hot car."
To this day, that is the saddest lyric about unrequited love I have ever heard.
It hurts
it didn’t hit me hard until I listened for a second time, wish I would’ve acknowledged it in the video :(
"I am a moth who just wants to share your light. I'm just an insect trying to get out of the night"
Thematically, All I Need is a mature version of Creep.
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.
I am actually jealous of anyone who gets to hear this album for the first time
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.
Every time is like the first ❤
the drums on this whole album are just insanely perfect
I’ve heard multiple pro drummers mention how crisp the drums sound especially on Reckoner.. The engineering on this album is just A++
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
Literally every Radiohead fan on every Radiohead related video ever:
YOU NEED TO WATCH THE BASEMENT
@@NationalistsRuinAmericalet us be basic mane 😭
@@spencerhinds2803 😂 good one
get it? cuz basic.. basement...
@@NationalistsRuinAmerica what…
"mmm the bass" Absolutely the bass
I LOVE when that bass walk comes in on 15 Steps
Reckoner is my favorite piece of music ever made. Radiohead is a gift, hands down
totally agree, reckoner is a blessed song
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%).
Didn't know the Reckoner one!!!
I also love the old original reckoner now called Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses, the version from this era is so heat!
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.
Thanks bro, I would’ve never thought he was using a coin out of all things lol. That honestly just makes me even more mesmerized by them :)
@@SoloRicky_ right? when i first listened to the song i thought it was a violin too. radiohead just never fails to surprise anyone.
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_
I came here to say this.,
@@SoloRicky_ Jonny Greenwood is probably one of the best living guitarists.
"I'm not ready!"
One never is.
Welcome to In Rainbows.
My comfort album ❤ such an awesome evolution for their sound. They are super comfortable in this new pocket :)
Yea they sound great in it
I feel you on the comfort album comment. 100%
The bass playing on this record is perfect, always just enough but never too much.
Colin Greenwood has gotta be the most underrated bassist of the last 30-40 years. His playing is phenomenal and always serves the song
It's where he doesn't play as much as the smooth lines he plays!
Totally met Thom Yorke in new Orleans on his solo tour. He is angelic and has a powerful aura. It was like meeting an alien
I've met him as well and ditto. I felt different after being around him. His presence is palpable. In a good way for sure.
@@amb5991 yes! It kinda shook me back. I still think about that. He has a powerful presence
the "JUST LISTEN BRO JUST LISTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN" at weird fishes got me dead, glad u enjoying it so far, can't wait for a moon shaped pool
This is honestly my favorite album of all time, seeing someone listen to it for the first time and enjoy it as much as I do brings me so much joy
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. 😂
Same
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.
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.
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
Anytime bro, preciate you and ur support a lot 🥹
@@SoloRicky_ love your videos, can’t wait to see what’s next :)
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
czcams.com/video/JLrCGgA0bEY/video.htmlsi=K1NWzj6lIRnLHVT3
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! ❤😋
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
Watching you share your joy for this album, one that means so much to me, brings back the rush of excitement for the first time I heard it. Thank you.
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
in rainbows is in top 3 radiohead for me, it’s such a perfect album and all of the songs just make me feel something i’ve never felt before ahdjdfj
top 1 radiohead albums top 3 albums ever for me tbh
In Rainbows, The Bends and OK Computer in that order for me.
@@nataliec1230 the bends got some 7/10 songs ok computer is great all around
@@lpdpywhats the other 2 albums
@@yan16.9 Abbey Road by The Beatles and The Money Store by Death Grips!
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. ❤💔
Same - listened to this for years without grasping the meaning. Devastating.
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
I can't think of an album with so many tracks that leave you almost breathless. My absolute favourite
My favorite album by Radiohead is In Rainbows. Based off your music taste I think you would really enjoy Radiohead's final album, A Moon Shaped Pool
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 🤞
@@SR91313 Idk if I'd be able to handle a new album 😭
Even if Radiohead never makes another album, please, let's never use the word final... I believe they will return!
Get the box set, you'll be on permanent repeat. Each one better than the other and demand multiple listings.
Not their final album
I have felt that this album is not just a great record but one of the best I have ever listened to any band any genre.
My favourite album by anyone, ever
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!!
this exactly, been listening to this for years but as I was listening along it felt like I was listening for the first time again
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'm a fan of yours now, due to this video. Anyone who appreciates music this much, from whatever genre or era, that's a great soul in my book.
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!
People sleep on Amnesiac though and I feel like they need to hear both.
There is nothing wrong with letting the emotions take you over. It is the purpose of music. And Radiohead(s) are top three at provoking
Who's the other two?
@@slatanek
In my opinion
Pink Floyd
&
Tool
Although The Moody Blues maybe be a fourth in the top three. lol
It always puts a smile to my face to see a new Radiohead being created.
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//
One of my favorite albums EVER!❤
So insanely incredible!!!
Thanks for your reaction fam💜💜💜
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
This came out in 2007 so one would hope lol
I still have that same feeling you had at listening to Reckoner every time I hear it. It's one of my favorite songs period.
Great that you liked it bro! 🙏🏻❤️ You can feel the emotion seeping from every part of this album
when you discover radiohead you discover yourself......it´s sooooo much more than music🌍
Solo, there is a basement live on CZcams for the Rainbows album. It is godly, you can see them
Perform these songs flawlessly
Your description of Bodysnatchers sounding like you're driving a car and doing whatever you can to get to your destination is spot on
Great reaction man. This album is truly incredible. Fun to watch people discover it for the first time. Keep going!
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.
Just found your channel and I've loved watching your Radiohead/Deftones reactions. Most of your favorite songs are mine as well, haha. Thanks for the uploads!
Subscribed! Excellent choices. Can’t wait to watch more of your reactions. This particular album is one of the best ever made. Start to finish
Yeah i love this album nice reaction bro
If you like "Nude" and Weird Fishes" - you'll get a similar vibe from the "Pyramid Song" and "Codex". Those 4 are some of my all time favs.
Feel like we'd be great friends. Some of the most interesting melodic tracks from Radiohead
Agreed, those 2 and Videotape bring me to tears each and every time even though I've heard them countless times.
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.)
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.
even if you didn’t talk about radiohead in this comment i would still think you’re a radiohead fan
@@dugsz 😂😂
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 just discovered rh like a few months ago and i been straight up addicted. Idk if i can recommend to other people in good conscience anymore lol
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
I just found out about how they had it on the internet for free, I keep finding more reasons to love em!!
I would recommend their second album “The Bends,” which came before Ok Computer. Great review btw
Absolutely loved watching you be able to experience this beyond beautiful album for the first time, wish I could experince that again. Def listen to this album high, it will blow your mind even harder. Keep up the great content man!
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.
all I need is one of the best bits of music ever made.
So great to see people listen to this for the first time, brings me back in time! thanks for sharing
this album is so beautiful
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!
This was so beautiful. Almost felt like listening for the first time again.
@soloricky it's beautiful to watch you clutch your heart at the bridge of Reckoner... listen deep to the last phrases before the drums return and you'll hear the oh so subtle layered vocal: "in raaaaaaaainboooooooooows" ... makes me swoon every time
ah man i was SO excited to see your first reaction to weird fishes. damn those people telling you to listen to it before doing the entire album
@SoloRicky you made my day. Weird Fishes is in my top 2....#1 Let Down. Enjoyed your genuine reaction/connection to this stunning band
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.
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.
one of the few bands who's live performance trancends the already immaculate album
Love your vids, thanks!
31:01 - bro understand and gets that feeling between beauty and pain- so similar to how I feel when I hear it.
Amazing reaction
Reckoner is a masterpiece
Great reaction- I appreciate that you don’t focus too much on the lyrics on first listen and more so just the feeling/vibe of the song. You get “it”!
Your reaction is by far the best reaction I've seen. Keep it going. I'm a massive Radiohead fan.
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.
that break on Reckoner really hits sooo fucking hard
Radiohead is in my soul and this is one of their greatest. Every note, every beat is carved into my brain.
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.
really enjoyed this man tnx
Such a masterpiece.
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.
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.
hi already enjoyed ur earlier radiohead reactions. now ill check out ur new one. lets goooo. ur a cool person btw, i mean u are authentic and just being urself, i higjly appreciate that in people.
You HAVE to hear “the bends” next by Radiohead. It’s my 2nd favorite album right after in rainbows. Has a good mix of slower and faster paced songs
Arpeggi never gets old. That build! This is easily ny favourite album of all time.
Your reaction to Faust Arp is the best! Slumping into your chair at the end. Perfectly matches the lyrics lol
I'll shed a tear with you. This is a great album, they're all great! I love this album.
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
Love the reaction man, yeah this was me too on first listen omg
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.
that editing with the song title at the top is fire. simple but on the dark background looks super clean
There's a disk 2 btw. People tend to forget about that. It's much shorter but there's some great songs on there.
Out of all the In Rainbows reactions I've seen, yours is the best.
Love these videos man
Amazing vid bro! U always impress me!
Congrats on almost 2k seems like I'll be having content to ignore for a while(not to mention the screenshots).
W vid, Stay Blessed, Stay Solo ⚡👌⚡
I’m a nearly 30 year fan of Radiohead from the UK. Liverpool in fact, home of The Beatles. Radiohead are my guys, geniuses all of them, seen them live a fair few times. You must see them live when they hopefully tour or watch some of their recordings Scotch Mist and From the Basement is awesome. They have soundtracked my life thus far, they comfort me in times of bad mental health. Make me dance, cry and above all make me happy and a better person. Always have and continue to do so. Really enjoyed a new fans reaction. And the OK Computer video too, I’ve subbed mate. You have excellent taste.✌🏻💙
Got yourself a new subscriber my friend. Perfection. Best album of all time.
Thank you for this bro.
I've heard I don't know how many thousands of songs, but the way Yorke goes from a hum back to saying 'reckoner' in the bridge is one of the cleanest and most orgasmic transitions I've ever heard. not to mention it's also one of the most impressive things I've ever heard from a singer, like how fucking hard is it to do something like that holy shit
Love your reaction man❤
So happy you posted recently since I loved the ok computer react ! Love that you keep an open mind... the genuine reactions are great haha 😅 I feel like in rainbows is when radiohead truly mastered the craft and beyond is where they do literally anything they want (like they didn't already) this is definatley a very spacey atmospheric album with so much beauty! Not sure which direction you wanna go but there's a couple rabbit hole directions from here 😂 you could go hail to the thief/amnesiac ... which is a beautiful yet somewhat more overall depressing sound .. or go king of limbs and beyond 2 the eraser which is thoms 1st solo album (every 1 is a banger ) but seriously 😂 do 1 album at a time it's good for your channel ! Do from the basement ! There's some really good in rainbows part 2 as well peace and luv
