It makes me happy to see this album finally get some love. It’s a nearly perfect album. It’s my number 3. I’d put it behind Ok Computer and In Rainbows.
In my opinion this is Radiohead's best. Certainly the one that hits me the hardest, emotionally. I can't help but tear up at various moments of the album, I can't relate to Thom losing a partner but I think of the death of my mom a few years ago and all those feelings of loss overwhelm me, and this album brings those about in the most haunting yet beautiful way.
The history behind True Love Waits is 20 years in the making… first played as a barebones guitar and keyboard arpeggio track live in 1995 and was attempted multiple times in the studio across a lot of their album sessions but Thom wasn’t satisfied with any arrangement until we finally arrived to the all-piano rendition on AMSP. Many have commented that the original track sounds more hopeful and optimistic whereas this one has literally been scientifically rated the gloomiest Radiohead track ever. Middle 8 has a great video discussing the history of the album and the songs on it, you def should watch for the bigger picture. Great reaction!!
Identikit I think is about people who shut themselves off from the world. They remain in a state of tranquil, pure innocence while letting broken hearts rain around them.
I'd recommend listening to the live version of true love waits as well, it feels like it represents him and his relationship at an earlier, maybe more hopeful period of time. Great vid as always!
The last song True Love Waits was actually written all the way back in the early 90s during the Pablo Honey era and I feel it was included to kinda be like "yep we're finally releasing this!" but also to reflect on how he used to feel about his ex-wife and how much she meant to him almost as if he's saying goodbye to her and that he'll try to remember all the good times even if he's no longer feeling the same way about her anymore
Hey man! I recommend you some album . Alice in Chains- Jar of Flies Beck - Sea Change Blur - 13 David Bowie - 1. Outside ; Blackstar ; Heathen ; Black Tie White Noise John Frusciante - Curtains ; The Empyrean Nick Cave - Ghosteen Radiohead - The Bends Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Gateway Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
AMSP is top tier Radiohead, love it so much. You should definitely react to all the Radiohead albums you haven’t heard yet. Maybe not Pablo Honey. Radiohead fans love CZcams reactions to them hahah.
This is definitely up there with one of my faves! Some recs for the future: Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People Zero 7 - Simple Things LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver
Sometimes I kinda feel like this is overall a better album than OK Computer, not a dud in here unlike OK Computer which has Electioneering, which sucks.
This album is really something... It's not my favourite from them but the mood it creates is truly one of a kind. Glad you gave it a listen. Would love to see your reaction to Amnesiac. It's sort of a companion album to Kid A but is more experimental, if I can say so? It certainly feels less cohesive compared to Kid A which might make it more interesting. It also contains their best song and perhaps even one of the best songs of all time (Pyramid Song)
Another great album and reaction! Suggestions: Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation Lil Ugly Mane - Volcanic Bird Enemy And the Voiced Concern Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral David Bowie - Blackstar
If you continue with RH I'd def recommend The Bends for more of a traditional alt rock experience, (but still fire asf and unique) and The King of Limbs for more of an experimental melancholic rhythmic type of album. Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief are def deeper cuts for if you love their other albums. Much love keep up the great videos bro !
Since you’re already familiar with some of their albums you should definitely check out In Rainbows From The Basement to see the band playing. It’s incredible.
This is my second favorite radiohead album and one of the only albums to make me cry. The other being A Crow Looked at Me so yea pretty high bar LOL. some of the most beautiful and emotional music to be laid into music. True Love Waits is top 2 radiohead btw :D I would suggest going into a little bit of a history of Radiohead and doing their discog in order! Honestly their evolution is insane. Each release sounds like a new world and a tease for what’s coming next… besides Pablo Honey but we don’t talk abt Pablo Honey it’s the definition of a nothing burger If you’re interested in Radiohead’s discog I’d suggest the radiohead iceberg someone posted a while back! also a recommendation(s) for an album -The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips -The Money Store by Death Grips -Filthy Tongues by Dalek
Btw fun fact, the ending of daydream are reversed vocals that say “half of my life” representing how thom has spent half of his life dedicated to radiohead, his wife, as a celebrity, and as someone who has put himself through so much and put his struggles and paranoia out into the world. amsp and kid a have so many hidden meanings and it’s interesting to look into them cuz radiohead lyrics can mean so much or nothing at all
One of my favorite Radiohead albums!! Here's a few awesome albums Geese - 3D Country Parannoul - After the Magic Squid - Bright Green Field King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland (and maybe Im In Your Mind Fuzz) Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights EDIT: oh right and Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
i’ve been a radiohead fan for a while and always kinda overlooked this album until i went through a heart wrenching breakup a few weeks ago and i gave this album another listen last week and i’ve really connected with this album since. the tracks that i connect with the most are daydreaming, glass eyes, identikit, ful stop, present tense and of course true love waits. sometimes in order to connect and understand a piece of art to its fullest extent you need a certain mindset and/or go through certain experiences.
true love waits for réal might be the top ten best things ever written to music. To say something like true love is horrific, terrifying and that it’s almost too perfect at the same time. just wow
Let’s go! Looking forward to catching this review. Some other albums for your consideration: Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam Animal Collective - Centipede Hz. Animal Collective - Time Skiffs Fiddlehead - Death is Nothing to Us 🍻
Hey, love your videos, very glad I stumbled upon your channel! I'm curious to hear your thoughts on an artist I've been listening to a lot lately, Tori Amos. I'd recommend listening to Little Earthquakes, or Boys For Pele if you want something a little weirder/more experimental. Happy listening!
Right when you said "did I just get Mt Eeried?", I knew you must've listened to A Crow Looked at Me, lol. And, given the similar back stories, yeah you kinda did.
Love the videos! A few recommendations: Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop)
i heard that the last part of Daydreamer are vocals of Thom Yorke saying "half of my life" because he was with his partner for 23 years and he was 46 at the time he wrote the song
Gotta love Radiohead. Would be really interesting to see a reaction to some latin american music. I have some really good recommendations, ESPECIALLY "Clics Modernos" by Charly García (1983), which has a mixture of New Wave, Rock and Argentine Tango. This guy's music had so much influence on argentine musicians in the 80's and 90's. I don't know if you listened to Prince, but his very well known album Purple Rain (1984) has a lot of elements and influences from "Clics Modernos". Charly once said that Prince copied him, jokingly 😄This album was recorded in New York and produced by him and Joe Blaney, who is known for working with Prince, The Ramones and The Clash. Charly Garcia is known as the greatest composer and musician ever from Argentina. This album is a 10/10 for me and is also recognised as the 2nd best Argentine rock album of all time.
You're reactions are one of the best bits of my day so thank you! Also, I'd like to recommend "I didn't mean to haunt you" by Quadeca. He's a youtuber turned musician and he made some alright rap music but then made a beautiful folktronica album last year
I'd definitely recommend you listening to Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life. It is a double album and an ep so is 1hr and 45 mins long so is quite a long listen but it is worth it for sure. It is my favourite double album of all time.
Can you listen to Magnolia Electric Co. by Songs: Ohia? It's my favorite alt-country record with themes about death, addiction, and Jason Molina's lyricism is very unique to him, I think. It will be up your alley.
Ik its an old reaction but on Ful Stop when hes saying "You really messed up everything" over and over again its him speaking to himself now that his signifigant other is gone, and he feels its his fault.
You NEED to have more slacker rock in your life: bee thousand by guided by voices, exile in guyville by Liz phair, your living all over me by dinosaur (jr).
You should react to KEANE another British band . You would enjoy it. Starts with Hopes and fears , followed by Under the Iron Sea, I’m sure you would love it .
you really gotta do frailty man i already wrote a paragrah under a different video on why so ill spare u the headache but it's definitely worth your time
"Y'all remember the Salem witch trials? that shit was crazy" bro was there
He and his wife broke up and after that she died of cancer. Gives a whole new concept to the album
DAMN
1:00 Burn The Witch
3:32 Daydreaming
6:57 Decks Dark
9:47 Desert Island Disk
11:50 Ful Stop
14:44 Glass Eyes
16:41 Identikit
19:11 The Numbers
22:18 Present Tense
25:17 Tinker Tailor
27:37 True Love Waits
“Did I just get mount eeried” 😭😭
This is definitely a top three Radiohead album for me. You should check out their other albums if you haven't already!
It makes me happy to see this album finally get some love. It’s a nearly perfect album. It’s my number 3. I’d put it behind Ok Computer and In Rainbows.
Yeah... it made me sad, that many people were not too attached when the album came out
what if they named it "a poop shaped poop" instead? i think that would be pretty funny! let me know if you agree with my statement!
👍👍👍
Haha yeah that would be pretty funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree!
I dont agree With your statement. Wanted to let you know. 👎
Imagine peacock was spelled peecock. I think it would be funny I think

Thom and Johnny's side project The Smile is definitely worth a listen. Saw them at pitchfork and it was amazing
Fo sure
BEACH HOUSE PLEASE
Just thinking he’d like Beach House since he fucks with the soothing and spacey sound of Slowdive
YESS PLEASE! Bloom is a good point to start
@@BlackPinata i kinda think teen dream but bloom is good too
Yeah man, time for beach house. Bloom is the best starter, tops. Smags you'll love it.
Yeah Bloom is gorgeous
This album always gets me in my feels

IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS IN RAINBOWS
The last song True Love Waits was actually written all the way back in the early 90s during the Pablo Honey era and I feel it was included to kinda be like "yep we're finally releasing this!" but also to reflect on how he used to feel about his ex-wife and how much she meant to him almost as if he's saying goodbye to her and that he'll try to remember all the good times even if he's no longer feeling the same way about her anymore
Please listen to Spiritualized “Ladies And Gentlemen We’re Floating In Space” or Depeche Mode “Violator”
Hail To The Thief is fun but In Rainbows is goated n would love to see a reaction even though you've heard it
I love daydreaming, Decks Dark and true love waits soo much. I highly recommend The Bends too its an amazing album
Hey man! I recommend you some album .
Alice in Chains- Jar of Flies
Beck - Sea Change
Blur - 13

John Frusciante - Curtains ; The Empyrean
Nick Cave - Ghosteen

LETS GOOO
ive literally just recently been getting obsessed with this album and bought it on cd, its such a beautiful album
This is definitely up there with one of my faves! Some recs for the future:
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
Zero 7 - Simple Things
LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver
yes!
That BSS album is amazing!
Dude just dropped two my favorite albums in a row
I love this album so much. I’d honestly put it up there with the big three
Sometimes I kinda feel like this is overall a better album than OK Computer, not a dud in here unlike OK Computer which has Electioneering, which sucks.
@@andremartinez4411electioneering is one of my favorites I think the tourist is kinda boring
@@andremartinez4411lol no
@@andremartinez4411no it doesn’t
@@andremartinez4411 why does electioneering have such persistent haters, its not that bad 💀
Your literally one of my favorite CZcamsrs lover your content keep going bro.
Thanks! Will do!
Hey man I love your videos, I’d highly recommend:
Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time - Candy Claws
Thank You!
This album is really something... It's not my favourite from them but the mood it creates is truly one of a kind. Glad you gave it a listen. Would love to see your reaction to Amnesiac.

It also contains their best song and perhaps even one of the best songs of all time (Pyramid Song)
recently discovered your channel and you have an amazing way of reacting to music!! love from Spain :D
This is one of the best radiohead albums actually and possibly their last one, what a great way to end
Another great album and reaction!
Suggestions:
Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Lil Ugly Mane - Volcanic Bird Enemy And the Voiced Concern
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
David Bowie - Blackstar
Big up for lil ugly mane
Insanely good pick
If you continue with RH I'd def recommend The Bends for more of a traditional alt rock experience, (but still fire asf and unique) and The King of Limbs for more of an experimental melancholic rhythmic type of album. Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief are def deeper cuts for if you love their other albums. Much love keep up the great videos bro !
How can one man be so Goated like damn
Since you’re already familiar with some of their albums you should definitely check out In Rainbows From The Basement to see the band playing. It’s incredible.
This is my second favorite radiohead album and one of the only albums to make me cry. The other being A Crow Looked at Me so yea pretty high bar LOL. some of the most beautiful and emotional music to be laid into music. True Love Waits is top 2 radiohead btw :D
I would suggest going into a little bit of a history of Radiohead and doing their discog in order! Honestly their evolution is insane. Each release sounds like a new world and a tease for what’s coming next… besides Pablo Honey but we don’t talk abt Pablo Honey it’s the definition of a nothing burger
If you’re interested in Radiohead’s discog I’d suggest the radiohead iceberg someone posted a while back!
also a recommendation(s) for an album
-The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
-The Money Store by Death Grips
-Filthy Tongues by Dalek
Btw fun fact, the ending of daydream are reversed vocals that say “half of my life” representing how thom has spent half of his life dedicated to radiohead, his wife, as a celebrity, and as someone who has put himself through so much and put his struggles and paranoia out into the world. amsp and kid a have so many hidden meanings and it’s interesting to look into them cuz radiohead lyrics can mean so much or nothing at all
absolutely adore the soft bulletin!
@@ktvia YES, the soft bulletin is BEAUTIFUL, race for the prize especially is so good. also W for the kid a pfp, my favorite album of all time :D
Underrated Radiohead album, also you should add Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by the Flaming lips to the roster fr
Love the reaction/review! keep it up as always. much love
Appreciate it!!
i love your reactions man
i love this album! i don’t know if anyone else has commented this but this album actually is organized alphabetically
omg true (except for the numbers)
My favorite album of theirs
One of my favorite Radiohead albums!!
Here's a few awesome albums
Geese - 3D Country
Parannoul - After the Magic
Squid - Bright Green Field
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland (and maybe Im In Your Mind Fuzz)
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
EDIT: oh right and Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
He's done turn on the bright lights 👍
GEESE
Smags don't miss!
Suggestions (They haven't changed):
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Death Grips - The Money Store
System Of A Down - Toxicity
Smags x Death Grips is gonna go hella hard
Smags x DEATH GRIPS about to be a smacker
We need your reactions to LP1 by FKA Twigs, it's one of the best albums ❗
I agree it's definitely like Top 10 pop albums ever
i’ve been a radiohead fan for a while and always kinda overlooked this album until i went through a heart wrenching breakup a few weeks ago and i gave this album another listen last week and i’ve really connected with this album since. the tracks that i connect with the most are daydreaming, glass eyes, identikit, ful stop, present tense and of course true love waits. sometimes in order to connect and understand a piece of art to its fullest extent you need a certain mindset and/or go through certain experiences.
I second the recommendation to The Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battle of the Pink Robots (or The Soft Bulletin)
Hot take but second best Radiohead album ( after In Rainbows ofc )
you should review the office by michael scott
Another banger
What about Beets by Dwight
true love waits for réal might be the top ten best things ever written to music. To say something like true love is horrific, terrifying and that it’s almost too perfect at the same time. just wow
Let’s go! Looking forward to catching this review.
Some other albums for your consideration:
Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
Animal Collective - Centipede Hz.
Animal Collective - Time Skiffs
Fiddlehead - Death is Nothing to Us
🍻
I second Strawberry Jam!
BONEFISH!
Best CZcams channel fr
Hey, love your videos, very glad I stumbled upon your channel!
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on an artist I've been listening to a lot lately, Tori Amos. I'd recommend listening to Little Earthquakes, or Boys For Pele if you want something a little weirder/more experimental. Happy listening!
Sunbather by Deafheaven would be a really great reaction. One of the most groundbreaking metal albums of the last couple decades
Right when you said "did I just get Mt Eeried?", I knew you must've listened to A Crow Looked at Me, lol. And, given the similar back stories, yeah you kinda did.
Give a chance to Lana Del Rey please, her 2019 album "Norman Fucking Rockwell" is considered one of the greatest albums of our century!
His wife divorced him, and then died soon after.
This album to me is a benchmark in modern music and a beacon of how out of the box modern rock can be.
One of my favorite albums of all time.
Would love a react to any of the mercury prize nominees, jockstrap would be right up your street
Love the videos!
A few recommendations:
Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production)
Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo)
Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop)
i heard that the last part of Daydreamer are vocals of Thom Yorke saying "half of my life" because he was with his partner for 23 years and he was 46 at the time he wrote the song
You should do bavarian fruit bread - hope sandoval and the warm inventions 🫶
Finally, some Radiohead.

is it time for arca?😏
another banger again
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
This is my favourite album of all time
Underrated Radiohead album, also, lets hit that 4k subs yall
YESSIR !
o7
Considering you like getting into the lyrics and finding the meaning, I suggest "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" by Bright Eyes!!
I'd definitely recommend you listening to Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life. It is a double album and an ep so is 1hr and 45 mins long so is quite a long listen but it is worth it for sure. It is my favourite double album of all time.
RADIOHEAD JOURNEY YESSSSS
Can you listen to Magnolia Electric Co. by Songs: Ohia? It's my favorite alt-country record with themes about death, addiction, and Jason Molina's lyricism is very unique to him, I think. It will be up your alley.
You should react to Suede’s 90’s albums, starting with the 1993 self titled debut.
So orchestral- I dream of watching the “movie” this is the soundtrack to, can you imagine😮
You know bro sobbed after finishing recording
bout time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright time to the get the eye drops out
You should totally listen to hail to the theif too!
Ik its an old reaction but on Ful Stop when hes saying "You really messed up everything" over and over again its him speaking to himself now that his signifigant other is gone, and he feels its his fault.
Try listening to “true love waits” live in Oslo. Went insane
If you haven’t, u should listen to Feedbacker by Boris. I saw them live and i’ve been obsessed. they’re so fucking good…
Second this
you should check out thom's solo project ANIMA, also super soul crushing
youve done a lot of british/irish experimental rock groups recently i strongly suggest squid and gilla band (one of my goats)
early as hell, still here to remind you to listen to ma hill by incredible polo >:)
I would recommend you to try The Chameleons - Strange Times album
You NEED to have more slacker rock in your life: bee thousand by guided by voices, exile in guyville by Liz phair, your living all over me by dinosaur (jr).
Also try out ween, the band literally inspired spongebob: the mollusk by ween
BCNR Bush Hall plz🙏
You should react to KEANE another British band . You would enjoy it. Starts with Hopes and fears , followed by Under the Iron Sea, I’m sure you would love it .
well assuming you havent already heard it
death grips - the money store
: )
His vocals aged, but not badly.
Bros mewing streak CANNOT be interrupted
still waiting for ween 😔🙏
The only essential Radiohead left is the bends imo! But maybe a more in depth rainbows reaction would be cool!
ur so wrong essential radiohead is ok computer/kid a / in rainbows/ the bends and moon shaped pool
@@josekech8737That’s exactly what he implied
Pinkerton/OK Human by Weezer is a must
LESSSS GOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU😭😭😭😊😭
you really gotta do frailty man i already wrote a paragrah under a different video on why so ill spare u the headache but it's definitely worth your time
😔
listen to DSU by alex g !!!
i think you should get to know in rainbows :)
