Please, see their live studio performance "In the basement". Unbeleivable quality!
Definitely a must watch!
Timeless majesty. A must-see. There is so much to see and hear.
100%
I watch endless reactions to Radiohead, and I will NEVER tire of the pure unadulterated joy of seeing someone “get it”. Welcome to the club brother.
Love being a part of it!
Funny thing about “Nude” is that they tried recording it during the “O.K Computer” sessions and they didn’t really liked where it was going, so they end up trying it a few more times on different albums before they got to the one we know now, but it’s crazy to believe that it took 10 years to record one track
If you liked Nude (we all do) you have to watch the live basement version of it but don't watch the rest save it for a video there are no copyright issues.
I will!
Like others have said, Moon Shaped Pool is a beautifully tragic record that you must react to. He wrote it after his divorce and later that year his ex wife, Rachel Owen, died of cancer. A re-issue was dedicated to Rachel. Also the live version of this (In Rainbows From the Basement) is a must listen. They changed some track ordering and included songs from previous albums. It's astonishing to watch them play with the accompaning live video.
last, do it last...
I’ll have to and as the comment above (or below) suggests, I’ll do it last!
The re-issue was the 20th Anniversary release of OK Computer that was dedicated to his late ex wife.
I love the string arrangements on many of the songs… definitely the influence of Jonny Greenwood and his film scores
This album will never get old for me, I could listen to it ten times in a row and not be bored. Every album of their has its own vibe, and this one for me is just... immaculate. Glad you enjoyed!
It's just so good and I've been listening to it nonstop
I feel like crying is an appropriate response to 'Nude'. One of my favourite Radiohead tracks of all time.
Duuuude, yes! I've been waiting for you to react to this album for a little while now. I knew you would love it. I mean, what's not to love? So damn good.
If a soul legend like Marvin Gaye or Aretha Franklin would have sung "Nude" 50 years ago, it would have gone down as one of the most stone-cold legendary tracks of all time. Because a skinny white boy from England sang it, it's obscure. But god damn. That's one of the most soul-driven songs I've ever heard in my life.
There’s so much soul here because much of the sound was inspired by Al Green’s cover of How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
@@Sly34591 I had no idea! That is one of my favourite songs. Plus, the skinny white boy circle comes complete as that was written by the Bee Gees.
Portishead: PNYC Live at Roseland will be RIGHT up your alley. I promise. Watch the concert film
This is easily my favorite album by them. Ok Computer and Kid A are incredible, yet I also come back to this one and feel that it’s flawless. No filler tracks. By the way, loved the reaction❤
Thank you! It’s just so freaking good it doesn’t make sense
There's a reason why a lot of people think this is their best album. So hard to decide though lol
It’s just so good
In Rainbows had a limited edition double album version on release, there are some gems on the second disk too.
I’ll have to check it out
Agreed. 'Down is the New Up', and '4 Minute Warning' are faves of mine.
@@WineCheeseGoats Go slowly is my favorite
The B-side tracks are some of my favourite Radiohead tracks: "Down is the New Up", "4-minute warning" "Go slowly" are incredible.
OK Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows and A Moon Shaped Pool are all 10/10 albums for me, I'd pick a different favourite every time I'm asked depending on my mood.
Incredible band.
So freaking amazing!
I love the drums on Videotape. A bunch of youtubers have made videos on what's going on with that and why it works so well. The piano is syncopated ahead of the beat, and since we hear that to start the track, we use it to gauge the percussive rhythm, where the downbeat is, etc., when that's just an illusion. And so when the drums establish the real beat later, everything feels off. Essentially what we think we're hearing is different than what the band's playing, and that just totally reflects the lyrics of the track, and the concept of one's internal experiences/memories vs what a bystander could gleam from watching a video of someone's life.
Massive Radiohead fan here! It always makes me SO HAPPY to see people enjoying their songs for the first time 🥲 Also a fun fact, that disorienting/chaotic feeling in 15 Step is likely because it’s in the rare 5/4 time signature!
I waited 6 hours to be near the stage for Radiohead at a festival, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it was a life-changing experience seeing and hearing them play live under the open night sky. I have watched waaay too many reaction videos for this album because I love seeing people’s emotions and expressions when they hear it for the first time…yours is one of my favorites! First time on your channel and you’ve got a new subscriber!
If you like discovering this kind of music, check out Portishead - Live at Roseland Ballroom. It’s a trip.
the dissect podcast goes into great detail about this whole album, I highly recommend if you want a note by note breakdown including lyrics and background for every song
An album I can't recommend enough is "In the Court of The Crimson King" if you do another reaction I would love to see your thoughts on this album. Its an amazing mix of rock, jazz, and flute which was made all the way back in 1969 and still holds up today as one of the greatest albums ever made. If you decide you want to do an album other than something from Radiohead please do this. Love the videos btw super underrated and your editing, music analyzation, and overall vibe is amazing.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️. I really would love to react to this! I will!
You should do a reaction to the disc 2 of this album. It has some really good b sides of this album.
And of course a million people will tell you to react to from the basement version
I probably will!
The "booom" you heard in "all i need" is the bass guitar, the bassist from radiohead does make some funky sounds out of that bass
That’s CRAZY
Can't wait for this! Love your reactions and love Radiohead.
I’m excited to experience with you! I don’t want to spoil but mannnn
There's a whole batch of songs released as b-sides called 'In Rainbows Disk 2'. The collection is songs recorded from the 'In Rainbows' studio sessions that didn't make it onto the release of the record.
Really love your videos man, I've been watching the pink floyd and beatles reacts and they've reminded me what it was like listening to those albums for the first time, thank you
This made my morning. Thank you for watching and experiencing this with me. ❤️. Hope you have a great day!
Thank you, you too!
I love your emotions.....
Thom has educated us all...... the lyrics are like a look in the mirror
The rabbit hole is deep with this amazing band.
You really should see the basement session of in rainbows. Than you really see the brilliance of this band.
This is probably my favorite album by them but each one is great in it's own way except the first one. This record is so warm and groovy and the vocals are fantastic even better live you should check out the basement session for this after you do disc 2 which are kind of like b-sides. Radiohead has a shit ton of great b-sides that a lot of bands would love to have as their a-sides.
Polyethylene not being on an album is insane.
I know this my third comment 😅. But my favorite album is a moon shaped pool. But just because of one song mostly. Ful stop from that album is like heaven for my ears even though its very energetic when the guitar comes in. But day dreaming is also so beautiful. So is true love waits. So is glassy eyes. So is the numbers. Ok nevermind its the whole album lol
Definitely underrated, it's a beautiful album. I also think that King Of Limbs is worth a listen, the last 3 tracks in particular are glorious
It was so much fun to watch you "get it!" Long live RADIOHEAD
One reason this album didn’t take up more flashy, hypey room in the commercial world was because Radiohead had basically left the mainstream music industry behind. They released it themselves, did this unprecedented thing of letting people download the album for whatever price they felt was fair, and basically did what they wanted. The album still topped the charts. Not only was this album historic musically, it was historically disruptive for the music industry.
That’s freaking badass
It was more successful than „hail to the thief“ though, which was spublished when they were still under contract with a major label. This album release created a lot of discussion cause Radiohead sold it on their website where fans could pay what they want.
Loved this reaction! Obv almost every album is SOMEONES favorite, but this is my favorite of theirs since it first came out.
Also like someone else said..please react to their IN THE BASSMENT perfomance of the album ! And Lianne De Havas' versionof Weird Fishes!
Nobody can tell you, you have to find it on your own
This comment is the TRUTH!
More! Love to see it 🙌🙌🙌
Ayeeee my boy! Thank you!
This is considered one of their best. But you should listen to all of them.
A moons shaped pool. Ok computer. Kid a. And in rainbows is their best album
subscribed because finally a youtuber who reacts correctly to each song lol hell yeah bro
Hell yeah!
This is my favourite Radiohead album, closely followed by A Moon Shaped Pool. In Rainbows has always felt to me like the culmination of everything they had learned as a band up to that point...all rolled into 10 songs. Its perfect
I’m getting juiced about Moon Shaped Pool
@@rjisasavage I listened to it again recently and I think I’ve underrated it. Jonny Greenwood has done e a lot of the string arrangements on it and you can really hear the influence of the film soundtracks he is composing now
Radiohead triangle.
OK Computer - Kid A - In Rainbows
In terms of Arrangement : OK Computer is the best
In terms of Rythm : Kid A is the best
In terms of Melody : In Rainbows is the best
I couldn’t agree more
And a moon shaped pool for beauty
Moon shaped pool is definitely next 🧘♂️🧘♂️🫡. I would call it their most beautiful album alongside in rainbows
Gotta check it out!
@@rjisasavage please wait until you've heard all others, its 20+ years of experiences and beauty in one album, a culmination of all the albums. as of now the epilogue of their careers. best listened to with already hearing what made so far
I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the King of Limbs, which a lot of people pretend that it's their worst album, but most of it is actually quite good and up to RH standards. Especially when they play it live.
No one is pretending. It is their worst. It's not some slam on Radiohead it's just underwhelming compared to everything else.@@SR91313
And definitely check out AMSP. It might just be my favorite RH album, even though it's so difficult for me to pick just one. It's kind of like answering to your kids who your favorite kid is? lol. It's really pretty much impossible to even pick one because you love them all for so many different reasons.
Weird fishes is my favourite song ever. Love the facial expressions lol
Definitely also recommend In Rainbows Disk 2 (the b-tracks)
They have some amazing ones there that could definitely made into the main album
Hell ya brother, this album is my favorite because it takes you on a ride much like Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon.
As others have said their In the Basement video of this album is legendary. They are somehow even better live.
Faust Arp biggest grower on this album. Used to skip, but totally worth the time - lovely
I think it will grow on me!
Also videotape is the best song on the album for me on the live from the basement version. Eds guitar is the absolute best on the live version
Every single time you wondered “what’s that sound?” It was Ed O’Brien with the guitar. The from the basement video is copyright free, so you don’t have to make cuts, the video won’t be taken down.
I can’t wait!
Someone correct me if Im wrong, but Nude was inspired by the melody/feel of the older song "how can you mend a broken heart". Would really recommend checking it out too, despite being by Al Green, another artist. Nude is such a fantastic track imo. Masterpiece of an album in its entirety aswell, new sub here :)
Love Al Green and thank you!
Time to watch In Rainbows from the basement!
When album was released it was a pay as you want. So you could pay a penny or as much as you thought albulm was worth a great gesture to their fans.
That’s such an awesome idea!
I absolutely love In Rainbows, although I don't connect a lot with the songs that come after Reckoner on the album, it is just soooo good regardless.
I just honestly can't pick a fave album with this band, I love every album for different reasons!
Some of their b-sides are my fave songs of all time :)
Technically not a b-side, because they released it like 20 years later, but there is a video "Radiohead - True Love Waits - 12/5/95" on youtube at the luna theatre, one of the very first time they ever played that song, and I must have listened to it thousands of times by now!
Bangers and Mash is another song that sounds straight up punk, and is a b-side, and totally rocks! That one is in one of the live at the basement sets though, so you'll likely hear it in your journeys!
"Fog" has a weird little special b-side that I really love. The trickster, polyehetlene, and so on.
They could make another 10 albums out of b-sides and those albums would be fantastic albums in their own right :)
Thanks so much for your reaction vids!!
I can’t wait to listen! Thank you!
Loved watching. You might find - as I did - that the mere 8/10 tracks are slow burners, the good earworms.
Jonny, the lead guitarist, is a classically-trained viola player. He arranges the strings.
Already had Oscar nominations for best score.
You hear it most on AMSP
Bros about to hit that woah in the thumbnail
Great reaction, glad you enjoyed it. To many people, including myself, it is their favourite, though I still can't get into House of Cards, typically skip it. I wouldn't describe Videotape as "a very sweet little ending to the album". To me it's a pretty dark funereal ending, transcending also. There are some interesting live versions of it as well with very different approaches to the song, as duo between Thom and Johnnie Greenwood, even as a piano solo piece. It very much breaks with the general musical mood of the album even though the lyrics of many songs on it are in fact pretty dark as well, but kept pretty light by the music.
This guy gets it. 😀
Ashamed to say it took awhile for this album to really click for me but it’s the first album I go to now. Reckoner is an all-timer.
All time!
Agree those 3 albums are equals, just different.
Radiohead is inspiring
Try out the two from their basement sesions with both in Rainbows and the king of limbs. Especially the last one just shines in the basement recording.
I was thinking of House of Cards.. cause that was always kinda my favorite. Still is, I think.. Reckoner is kinda the big song for humanity. But I can't really open up enough to feel that. House of Cards is the song for the incels.. for the loners. It's about retreating into your own shell while the world collapses around you.
You should react to The Cocteau Twin's Heaven or Las Vegas next. Literal ear candy
Never heard of them!
@@rjisasavage check them out. It's a classic dreampop album. It might sound unique but it's one of the most gorgeous albums I've heard.
Great reaction! Check out Gnarls Barkley cover of reckoner
Videotape is maybe the best song on the album for me on the live version
I highly suggest to anyone that loves this album listen to the podcast Dissect - In Rainbows Season .It is a VERY in depth analysis of EACH track both lyrically and musically. It is amazing I highly Highly recommend it
I will!
That bahhh bahhh was the base guitar
If i could only have one album to listen to, it would ve this one.
Above all else?
@@rjisasavage yes!
what a guy
Thank you!
I agree haha. Dig his vibe❤
reckoner is my favorite one!
Soooo good!
It is only half. It is double album
Can you see now why so many people love Radiohead lol
The 3 first songs are almost to good!
Perfect even
There are some really special songs on this album, but I prefer OK Computer as a whole. Nude, All I Need, Weird Fishes, and Videotape are the stand out songs for me. But there is a reason that OK Computer and In Rainbows are considered their two greatest works. Both are special in their own ways. I think The Bends has some really great vocals as well. If you haven't listened to it, I'd recommend it.
I gotta go back and listen!
Your ears don’t deceive you. Do yourself a favor and watch the performance of this record of From The Basement series. They can actually play. The since you are a fan, watch the Kid A Paris Canal TV. They can break your heart, or put it back together.
….. oh, and at the time it was released, they just put it out without notice and it was free, or pay what you want.
….and one more thing, if Videotape made you curious, watch the Secret rhythm of Videotape breakdown of the complexity. And if your still game, watch The Slate breakdown of Pyramid Song…wrong record, This bad does the most eff’d up composing.
Favorite record of theirs…impossible. Each song a galaxy within the universe that they paint.
try to find one single reaction were someone doesn't go crazy over Nude. its impossible, songs too good
Well that’s one way to react to music 😂🤦♂️
I don’t know whether that’s a compliment or not but either way, thank you!
Bodysnatchers feels punk? LOL you need to listen to punk music, because it's not even close to sounding like that.
In the uncut version I said it sounded a lot like something I would hear from Green Day, who I would consider punk, but maybe I need to listen to more!
