Love that they ditched the corporate graphic designers and got his old m8 from Uni to design the covers, which are very organic and thought provoking. Can still remember the day i bought the bends.

@@moniqueleducq1309 excellent and important point Monique, and also completely true. thom is a master craftsman not by chance, but rather through pure will, drive, determination, and passion.

That's not true... The music always comes first. If no albums had albums art it would still be right up there as one of the top ten ever. Sure I looked at it but it wasn't a massive interest at first.
@@welp3904 Sure thing. I do believe that for certain things it's not the case though. Like the lyrics in Paranoid Android for example. I remember Yorke saying most of them weren't personal at all.
it makes me so happy to see thom nowadays. he seems really proud of all these artworks and what theyre putting out currently, and he looks a lot more comfortable and at ease :) (eating well. no more microwaved dinners and saturated fats.)

The camera work didn't help, especially in 4:59 with the shaky zooming in on Thom as if he's gonna throw an awkward punchline at any second ala The Office.
@@pimposki6232 only time i've ever managed to see radiohead live, thom was wearing a shirt and tie and after a song in the middle of the show he stopped and said 'yeah sorry about the tie, i've got a job interview after this'
Kid A & Amnesiac are my 2 favourite album covers of theirs. All the artwork from that period is just phenomenal. What Stanley said about Radiohead being a band that's just as committed to the visuals as the music really rings true. So glad to see a deeper discussion of that side of things from that time by these guys. Thanks for uploading!
Yeah...I agree. But it's hard to improve on the perfection that is The Return. I do feel those vibes n tones together though yr right. I remember Kid A ending a Sopranos episode. That was amazing
@@itsstyled8110 As someone who could be called old, I can tell you that every generation I have been witness too, including those before me, as in my parents, grandparents, great, and great great grandparents, has said this about the "music now" regardless of when the now occurred.
Most geniuses of Thom Yorke's stature are aloof & hidden away in luxury estates - it's cool to see him so casual, open, & personable nowadays. Meeting people got easier.
The cover to Kid A is my favourite. It gives me this feeling of being in the deeply lonely, fantastical world of old fantasy books. Lost in the mountains like Gollum, in a world between Middle Earth and an infinite DMT trip, but making the isolation, the smell of moss, the lost expansiveness of it all - the main story.
I love Radioheads art, its so iconic and beatiful. I got the chance to buy the CD for A moon Shaped Pool and the art book is beautiful. Im so happy to see Radiohead doing something kinda new xD
Thom is really happy here because Kid A and Amnesiac was a very positive time in his life and he remembers it very fondly. With OKNOTOK he just has memories of regret and his depression (which is shown in Meeting People is Easy). It might be the album that let him have the freedom to experiment with Kid A and Amnesiac but he wasn’t able to handle the pressure and fame that came with OK Computer. Thom doesn’t like to talk about it because he’s wasn’t proud of himself. But with Kid A he was rejuvenated and (somewhat) comfortable to continue and thank God for that
5:44 "I'm proud of this period"... I love that. This was Thom's most productive era, as I remember reading somewhere. Kid A and Amnesiac are masterpieces.
KidA and Amnesiac were more than masterpieces, they were (and still are), revolutionary. They changed the pop/rock music like a very few albums did in the past.
I really like to see how both of you explain what you have created without feeling weird or self conscious about it. I feel like you cannot see the art without listening to the music to really understand it. Also, the songs are made better when you see the art. The two complement each other very well. I am glad both of you are proud of your creation and I look forward to see what the next creative period (album and art) brings!
When I discovered RADIOHEAD 25 years ago I knew they were one of those bands that are brilliant and rare. Here we are in 2021 and there's no band who compares.
I would say it sounds very derivative of his dad's work. But it shows enormous promise, and he's very young. Hasn't found his voice yet. But I think he will.
I remember borrowing the Kid A cd from a friend of mine, maybe a year or two after it had been released, and it had a black piece for the tray where you clipped the disc in. But through the little hole you could see there was art on the inside of the back cover, and I was curious, so I popped the case apart and out fell a booklet full of art. My friend had had the album for years and had never even noticed it there. Felt like such an incredible secret to have found.
I went out and bought the book from Stanley and found it interesting to see so much of what they had done and the influence he had on Thom, to be able to enhance his music through the art he was able to generate in a different medium than music. Greatly appreciate this look into these thought through a video thank you.
I remember 2001 very well. I had lost 100 Lbs over a 2 year time-frame and would come home and listen to Radiohead after my workouts to help me relax and sleep. Although quite an accomplishment, Fitter Happier always stuck in my mind and was right on. Being Fitter Happier is not what it's all about, but it's hard to be happy if you're not fit and don't have the energy to do anything. No instruction manual for Life!
When you consider how private both these individuals are, their being so open about their collaboration and their art speaks volumes about how much they respect Art and each other.
It's been an absolute honor to watch Thom and company grow into the band they are today. I was 12 when I first heard Pablo Honey and I'm 40 now. They truly saved my life on more than one occasion. Happy Thom dancing is one of the greatest things on Earth and I can't wait to see them live a 4th time.🖤
Agreed! I was 12 when Pablo came out. Got a Kid A tattoo when I was 21 ish and this has really felt like “my” band for most of my life. Driving along country lanes listening to Radiohead (and other albums from the era like Moby Play) has gotten me through so many difficult times, and I’m sure will again. I’m glad other people feel the same way. May every generation have artists like this that can help give shape to their lives.
His art is apart of the Radiohead listening experience and always will be. There is nothing more complementary I could say about what he creates. It fits perfectly.
For the longest time I thought there was no Stanley. That his name was some weird private joke that meant STAND ON WOOD and that it was actually all Thom. I know better now. Beautiful artwork that fits perfectly with this powerful, moving and groundbreaking music.
My dad was a huge fan of Radiohead. Ever since he showed me OK Computer I was absolutely hooked, and I've been a Radio-head ever since. I wish Thom and the rest of the gang all the best!
As a life long Radiohead fan this is the first time I’ve seen the man behind the paintbrush. Always remember getting the new albums, track 1 on, sleeve out and just simply getting lost in the visuals and the music. Absolute pleasure every time. Thank you.

Sure I looked at it but it wasn't a massive interest at first.
debatable tbh
I wouldn't say that's true, however I can't imagine the artwork looking like anything else.
Agree it's like a video for a song. Most of the time there is no need of a video. Better your own imagination
@@focoff no a video is a bonus, could probably say no need for a video if they're crap but Radiohead always release great videos

Artists tend to do that.

Not drinking too much.

One of their best.

This could do with been an hour long documentary, it is fascinating.
This feels like a comedy sketch for some reason
they're both naturally quite funny guys i think, in a sometimes accidental way
The camera work didn't help, especially in 4:59 with the shaky zooming in on Thom as if he's gonna throw an awkward punchline at any second ala The Office.
Thom and Stanley together are always a dark comedic duo. They operate on the same wavelengths.
@@pimposki6232 only time i've ever managed to see radiohead live, thom was wearing a shirt and tie and after a song in the middle of the show he stopped and said 'yeah sorry about the tie, i've got a job interview after this'

Kid A still sounds futuristic, absolutely stunning work of art.
Thom really does seem happier at this point in his life.
Like Spinning Plates works so freakin well as background music!
Stanley Donwood is a great artist.
Seriously, that "Balkans" painting gives me chills. It's incredible.
Samurai hair Thom is on another level.
I remember purchasing Kid A back in the day... and there was a hidden art booklet ! Pretty cool stuff.
Yes this was so amazing!
