They are one of those rare great bands with multiple geniuses. Most great bands have one person who is either a great songwriter, musician or both, but this band has two pure geniuses and five incredible musicians.
Probably the most important band of the modern (post-80s) era. I don't think any band has evolved like they have through their albums, and how popular music has evolved after them.
Too right man. They are on another planet
Spot on. As rare as rocking horse shit. Beatles, Led Zep, hard to think of many others
@@mrshankly213 The beatles......
he said post 80s@@CL2-
LMAO you killed me when you paused at "The Beat goes Round and Round"
It might be my favorite part of the song there when Thom repeats that line an octave higher. Such a great moment.
I was jamming so hard wtf man
Right when he did that i went to the comments like "ik someone is feeling what i'm feeling right now" if you didn't make this comment i would've lmaoo 😭
100% or not just once not just twice @@ZosoLU
😭
My favourite radiohead song. Thom is at his vocal best in this song. Such a difficult song to sing and displays his awesome range and emotion he delivers. Great tune to drive to as well 👌
This to me is the emotional climax of the entire IR album, an amazing display of happiness and self fulfillment, brings me to tears every time.
I love this song but the bridge in Reckoner is definitely the climax imo
@@quasarkid both are different types of climaxes, reckoner is sort of the realization that sets in motion the payoff of jigsaw, while jigsaw feels like an ending to a journey of finding yourself with videotape acting as the true finale and epilogue
Reading this comment with tears on my eyes 👌
If you haven’t listened to the album yet you are in for a treat! In rainbows is definitely in their top 3 albums in my opinion. Enjoy it
maybe the best?
@@azekil2177 Quite possibly 🙈
Jigsaw falling into place got me dancing and singing so damn loud every time
Same here, every time I hear it get up and dance. Once when I was at a reservoir feeding ducks
I've never listend to this band until now and I love them. Thanks for bringing this to me Syed. You make so many fine choices.
Man are you ever in for a journey if you follow Radiohead - I really do envy you hearing their music for the first time
@@ciscomoto I was gonna say, I'm jealous of this guy.
@@ciscomoto I think I actually enjoy their songs the more times I listen to them. It's great!
"sonic paintings"… i never thought of that and it’s a beautiful way to put it!
This is one of my favorite tracks from In Rainbows and honestly it's probably my favorite album too. From start to finish, this album is fantastic. Also check out Weird fishes/Arpeggi, and from the following album King of Limbs try Bloom, or Lotus Flower
This is a real banger but at the same time it is really intricate and you do a great job breaking it down and you are spot on on the emotional impact.
I've been watching you for an hour, the best reaction videos I've seen about Radiohead. Smart and curious guy, deep and clever. Nice job!
One of my favourite songs of theirs!!!! This band never misses!!
Radiohead are up their with the true greats of music. You are going to love In Rainbows.
This feels like that great, spacey, SPED UP part of a really good party.
In Rainbows is the best Radiohead album. Also a lot more digestible cause its not just pure depression.
It without a doubt can’t touch Ok Computer or Kid A. Or maybe it does to people who think Radiohead tends to sound like “pure depression”.
@@BearFattfilm Idk why you are acting like this opinion is that controversial. Its usually ranked along side Kid A and OK computer on audiophile rating websites (like RYM or best ever albums). Definitely not that far out to prefer In Rainbows to the other two.
Its also very clearly their least depressing album by a mile.
@@RS-zt5zj I am well aware In Rainbows is favorited by many. I love the album myself. My contention is that you stated it was their best record as if it was an objective fact. Also you described their music as "pure depression". Radiohead has never sounded sad to me. I believe that's a notion mostly thought by people who are not fans of Radiohead. I would not say In Rainbows is their "least depressing" record. It is their most accessible. There is a difference.
no radiohead album is 'pure depression'
@@BearFattfilm have you seen 'meeting people is easy'? The band was and can be depressing if they intend to or are. Let down isn't depressing? True love waits? It's somber and songs like jigsaw falling into place are a rare exception. Why do you think this band is attached to an index that determines which album and song is the most depressing? They're depressing but fun and uplifting at the same time it's all about letting the audience know that they have 'been there' but that's my opinion
I really enjoy how you implement your community's comments into the video! Neat idea, helps diversify the perspective.
I really love your videos!! Keep up man!!❤🔥
In Rainbows is just THE ALBUM from Radiohead ❤
Nice reaction to this great song. Glad to see you are enjoying my fav band, new sub!
To me it is like a one night stand gone wrong and still wistful at the end (a bit) starts upbeat and gets pretty dark.
100%
One of my favorite Radiohead songs! Great job, thank you for the reaction.
The ending of this track is the best. Nice reaction
I think this one and seperator from King Of Limbs are 2 of my favorites, but they have so many good tracks. It should be "Whats the point in instruments, words are sawn off shot guns".
I have often said Radiohead is the modern Floyd. Don’t hold a candle and not the same, but Radiohead is easily one of the best bands of the last 30 years. High art. Along with Tool.
Radiohead is better than pink floyd, in general they are better musicians, only jonny greenwood is better musician than all PF MEMBERS THAT IS A FACT
@@jorgekech I expect you’re about to get clowned by a lot of people for saying that. That’s not a fact it’s an opinion and Jonny Greenword is not better than David Gilmour. David Gilmour is one of the most revered guitarists of all time. Look up any best guitarists ranking and it’s not even close. Your statement actually tells me you’re a die hard Radiohead fan who doesn’t know anything about Pink Floyd.
@@benjammin7729 Clowned ? David Gilmour is BY FAR my favourite guitar soloist, I have been a fan of and listened to Floyd for 36 YEARS, I've tripped, bonged, listened to them drunk, disected the shit out of everything they do.
Jonny Greenwood is a better musician than Dave, any musician will tell you this, the guy writes for orchestras, plays just about every instrument known to man, hes a writer of music on a level Dave just hasn't got in him.
Dave would win the popularity contest by a mile, hes the more 'enjoyable' guitarist, more mainstream for average Joes tastes, more iconic, and his solos will be remembered and adored forever......
Jonnys not a fan of solos, so Dave would get my vote for best guitarist, I'm with you on that. Best MUSICIAN ? Jonny Greenwood by a mile.
@@benjammin7729maybe a better guitarist, but as an overall musician Jonny is above him. Listen to some of his solo work espescially the Phantom Thread soundtrack. One of my all time favorite albums
Jonny Greenwood is objectively; demonstrably a better musician than David Gilmore.
I just watched all of your Radiohead reactions - I hope you add some more. Have subscribed based on your thoughts on the Radiohead you've listened to so far, and am looking forward to seeing who else you've reacted to. I'd like to hear your takes on the Radiohead track 'Just', 'Life In A Glasshouse', 'Like Spinning Plates', and 'Present Tense'.
just just just just just just just
Nice one. Don't forget my beloved Hail to the Thief, their most overlooked album. Also their most diverse, basically their White Album. 2 + 2 = 5 is astonishing.
Like Pink Floyd's TDSOTM and The Wall I definitely think these tracks are better experienced in their respective albums, specifically OK Computer and In Rainbows
Ha! That's so funny, I was listening to you talk and thinking I'd like to see a reaction video from you for Pink Floyd, and you mentioned them seconds later.🤣
Not the best rack from In Rainbows for me but there's really no bad track on that album. Sublime.
Might be my favorite on the album, but Reckoner is just as great in a different way
This is my favorite track by Radiohead, so we differ there. In Rainbows is easily my favorite Radiohead album.
If I only ever complained about this song it is because it is too short. But they do everything with intent so it is what it is.
Nude is my favourite definitely, but this one is a banger for sure
This is the first video of yours I've seen. Really enjoyed that. Won't be my last. That I can assure you.
Whenever I listen to new music, I tend to judge their quality, to songs I listened to and loved in my youth ( 60's 70's, early 80's) Radiohead "jumped" when they appeared. The guitars, pace and harmonies on this album reminded me of Harmonium's first album Harmonium. A Quebec group from the 70's: I grew up in Montreal. Their lyrics were French, but their music was so unique. Pour un Instant , being my favorite track from the album, but aspects of the album were triggered when I listened to this Radiohead track for the first time
Yeah, i agree with u there! Like for example King Crimson's stuff is very atmospehric but its like a detachable portrait but with radiohead atmosphere is floating around you at the time
Radiohead is beyond any previous band. Thom is the master of sound.
They are the greatest band of the last 30 years easily
Perfection
What a track, like one of the best songs ever made eh
quality content
The song is wavy and pulses like trying to walk through a crowd blind drunk.
This is a great song but "weird fishes" is the masterpiece on this album. They are such an interesting band.
Such a great song on so many levels. Textbook Radiohead in a lot of ways. From the simple acoustic guitar intro, layered and textured into another anthem! In terms of the lyrics, it sounds like he just met somebody who is just NOT doing well. Bad day, followed by escape into a comatose state. Kind of a love song, with addiction thrown in. Like he's saying, just stay with me for a while before you're out of it! Could also be slightly autobiographical. I know Thom struggled with depression (no kidding), not sure about substance abuse though.
Radiohead has been there for me as a teen and always related with me, always was there for me, and that goes for any teenagers during that time or any age really...
Agree with every with what everyone said here about lyric analysis, I've particularly found your highlighting the shift in mood to be really really interesting. Just not something I've thought about. Check out Radiohead's From The Basement If you want to watch them perform stuff like this up close. Loads of polyrhythmic playing at times.
keep going
That stank face you made at about 5:50. Ur just feeling that groove. Hear the whole album.
No, the modern Pink Floyd is Porcupine Tree. Listen to Anesthetize live in Tilberg for a fine example. Or Luminol by Steven Wilson solo!
👌
This is my favourite Radiohead album and this is the best song on it...therefore its their best song
considering with how music has evolved its imposible to say radiohead wont shine above most of it
2 + 2 = 5 by Radiohead is a great listen, check it out!
Thanks for the dono Luke, I'll defo check it out!
"15 step" would be great for a hip hop fan
I think that might be Jonny Greenwood using the Ondes Martenot on the harmonies you're talking about
Modern Pink Floyd is weirdly accurate 😂
A jigsaw puzzle piece at a nightclub as the night progresses.
I think I can hear an echo of. a trip-hop vibe to this as well……I agree that it does start out feeling upbeat, but those lyrics are dark as hell. Feels to me like somebody is having a really bad trip at a rave. I Feel the light on my back made me think of the red dot of a targeting laser for a rifle.
I've never heard anyone calling them the modern pf 😅
I think you get it opposite, Radiohead at first seems like a bummer but then ends on a positive of hopeful note. So while the music can seem really depressing, there's always a light of optimism.
Ive fallen in love with the live from the basement sessions. Really gives a less post produced raw sound. Much better IMO
4:15 absolute worst place to pause lol
The beginning of this song sounds very similar to Alone Again Or by Love from 66/67
I see them as the Pink Floyd of my generation.
Perhaps more than any modern songwriter, Thom Yorke matured immensely as artist in front of the world. His first album was competently played, but not very interesting and made them look as if Radiohead would be one-hit-wonders (Creep). _The Bends_ was a whole new ballgame, still rock but much more creative. Before you get too far into the more progressive albums, you should hit Planet Telex, High and Dry, Just, and especially Fake Plastic Trees, a deeply sad yet beautiful song. _Ok Computer_ is widely considered a masterpiece, completing Radiohead's transition from a "Meh, they might be OK" to the world's most interesting rock band in just 3 albums. With _Kid A_ and onward, they became so progressive that they got less airplay and sales, essentially going beyond where many fans could follow.
no no...they're pretentious but gloriously so. They're so damned, impeccably good at composing and delivering sonic landscapes / moods / vibes they're impossible to not love (for me anyway)
Bones
Just
Black Star
Fake Plastic Trees
Knives Out
For an out of the way deep cut:
Alligators in the sewers and Banana Co.
There are just too many great tracks
I'd debate some of the lyrics that you sourced. First "As your bad day disappears" is actually "As your blather disappears" and the part "...I just pretended that I had. Words are blunt instruments Words are sawn-off shotguns" I believe to be "I just pretended that I was I a blunt instrument or was I a sawed-off shotgun?" (You can clearly hear the "or" in there when you listen closely, which makes more grammatical sense this way). I could be wrong... Thom's vocals are mumbly-enough that it is easy to find lyric debates about this band.
he got the lyrics from google, they differ slightly to spotify lyrics. not sure which is correct. same thing happens with a lot of their songs, I noticed some differences in decks dark as well between versions of lyrics
Pinturas sónicas "
Weird how on first play through of this album I thought it was the weakest track of the bunch. When now I'd say it's an absolute timeless classic
bro has never listened to an entire album at once lol
lol I think those lyrics are about being wasted
Check out Separator live from the basement. It’s a groove.
WEIRD FISHES
Don't let Thom Yorke hear you comparing them to Pink Floyd, Thom doesn't like them! Thom is mad about electronica, so maybe that has something to do with it? Pink Floyd, is spacial music and Radiohead, is dissonance music.
Lyrics are fairly wrong
Yes, you have to like Radiohead and it has bad music... . What do you do if you don't like the voice (2-3 songs are still okay...; I have trouble with some so-called great singers) and Radiohead's sound became too watered down with the career and monotonous from the basic mood, somehow not from this world, you say intellectually, yes you have to want and be able to afford Radiohead, and it is only enjoyable or understandable in the company of or better with the intake of ....
I own and prefer the first three albums and I have a lot of respect when artists strive to evolve while taking some risks to find their way. My research today will be: are they really up and away or on a towing cruise ship with their true fans?!?✌
ur saying nonsense
If this is an attempt at sounding smart I must say you fail miserably. Please improve your writing skills this is awful. Or maybe English is not your first language?
Absolute terrible series. Yes to everything you identified in your critique of the episodes to date. One piece that took me out of episode 4 was the Tesla vehicles in the mining company parking lot. Who has Teslas in remote Alaska? This only adds to the overall shitty-ness of the series; starting with the AI generated rock posters and now the mysterious oranges rolling across every floor everything is so forced and heavy handed. Waste of another Sunday night.
This song is crazy good
