RADIOHEAD - "In Rainbows" Full Album - FIRST REACTION!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- I finally listened to Radiohead's album "In Rainbows" for the first time! I spent quite a few hours editing the songs down so that this couldn't be considered a replacement for listening to the full original songs (which I've linked below)! Also I edited them so that the songs would continue to flow on beat, which made it take way longer haha. My goal of sharing this video is to show my reactions to songs and discuss music theory, composition, mixing, and overall creativity and art. Throughout most of this video I'm talking about the music and giving my commentary on it, rather than the focus being solely on the music.
Intro: 0:00

15 Step: 8:47

Radiohead has become one of my favorite bands over the past year! After listening to their albums in order starting with Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, and Amnesiac over the past year, I was waiting for nearly a year for the right moment to take the next step forward in their discography and also record my first reaction to a Radiohead album, starting with Hail to the Thief and was so glad to have been able to record my reaction to it! You can watch that video here:
A bit about me- I've been making a living as a caricature artist for the past 16 years. I also love doing voice impressions, doing song covers, and making original music, including a full album about the life of caricature artists (find it in my playlists!). Music has been a huge part of my life since I was a kid, and my taste has expanded to nearly all genres over the years, including classic rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, punk, metal, and alternative rock, electronic music, rap, hip hop, jazz, classical, 80s music, Disney songs (where it all began for me), and more.

So, it seems like most people would be happy to see “In Rainbows: From the Basement” next as a reaction! Awesome, thank you for the recommendations 🌞
Does anyone know if there is the same copyright to deal with for that, or might it be possible to just show the full songs without splicing them up? I’d of course still be adding commentary after each track. And is there one long video to watch or a playlist of vids? A link or links would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
if i remember correctly they don't have copyright strikes in "from the basement" or at least someone said that
All of the "From the Basement" recordings are great (The King of Limbs one is considered better than the album by many people) and I haven't heard of any copyright strikes from them. It's been a while since I watched this so you have have already mentioned it, but if you haven't listened to their last album "A Moon Shaped Pool" I highly recommend it.
It's all in one video, not a playlist.
first ... you did a great work!
second ... do you still listen to radiohead ? are they still important for you ?
About how Thom’s vocal delivery is instrument-like, I swear this guy gets it. His opinions throughout the vid just makes me feel like he understands Radiohead.
I appreciate that! 🌞
you kept saying about it feeling like a memory? Thats one of the most beautiful descriptions ive heard - its evocative and sad and fun and angry all at once, like the feeling you get sometimes after an intense dream where you try and hold the feeling as it slips away...
love you reaction - so good
love your reaction i mean - hand injury so typing with one hand !
Absolutely! Well they were the ones to create such a beautiful feeling, I was just trying to describe it, but thanks!
Definitely try out ‘from the basement’ next.. it’s awesome to see them perform these songs live 😊
The In Rainbows basement first?
@@ericgoodwinart Yes, King Of Limbs From the Basement is also worth a watch after the In Rainbows one as many (myself included) consider it a superior version of the album, including 2 B-Side songs that would've been awesome to hear on the actual record.
@@KyloWRC oh wow, cool! I like when the live version is also a different version of the track, as it adds even more replay value to the song!
Listen to TKOL first then watch the in basement TKOL, for the reason stated, it's a better version of the album.
I agree with all of the above comments and I loved this reaction.. from the basement has the Daily Mail.. a masterpiece
In Rainbows is Radiohead’s masterpiece. One of the best albums of all time IMO
Can’t argue with that!!
Some people didn't like the next album King of Limbs, but I actually loved just as I did the others.
Very underrated record
King of Limbs was my introduction to Radiohead and I've always loved it.
for me it has 3 songs on it better than any from in rainbows.
I love TKOL. After Radiohead finished In Rainbows, they said it almost broke up the band and they would never record an album in that manner again. I think that’s good context to TKOL, and also why I think TKOL songs are almost all better live. The record was never intended to be a record. They were messing around in Nigel’s (Godrich) studio trying to find inspiration. And pow, a full length record. So when they went on tour, they refined the songs and turned them on their heads. The basement session is a good example of this. There are probably other example videos. When I saw them live on TKOL tour, little by little went so hard. It was same energy level as Jigsaw
The first couple of times I've heard it I was like.. erm not great... But after listening to it a couple more times, I realized the masterpiece that it is. Beautiful album.
Bodysnatchers I just love, but no denying Weird Fishes and Nude are two of the most beautiful songs ever released!!
Definitely!!
Can’t forget jigsaw falling into place, probably my 2nd favorite favorite behind how to disappear
This album, and more specifically randomly seeing "In Rainbows: From the Basement" w/o even knowing the album existed - that show is so special, words don't do it justice. To me, out of so many 'great' moments in the band history, the 'In Rainbows: From the Basement' is the most legendary moment in the story of the band. It brought me back to my favorite band who I'd abandoned after "Ok Computer" catapaulted them as the best there is on the planet. "Kid A" threw me off, I went into a Blues music multi-year dive - but then I saw that show, I was so mesmerized, taken aback at how great the songs were, first listen, and the show brings you a level of connection with the band better than any other way. I'd suggest watching that as the next step into where to go with this journey. Funny you should say beach record - after the show blew my mind, bought the CD for a road trip and week in Key West and just kept playing it and playing it. To me, it is the album where they returned to 5 piece, parts (with some individual exceptions - the 5 guys went back to being a 3 guitar band, with drum and bass and various players for the synth and keys and a million instruments Jonny Greenwood (nominated for 2 Best Movie Orchestral Score Academy Awards - no a bad trait to have for your lead guitarist) uses - seeing them pull off the soundscapes you just heard live, no tricks, - too great. But this album is them just hitting their form and writing some of their best tunes, in this post electronic period for them, and by far I consider the best album to give to someone to check out the band. "OK Computer" remain my favorite album, and "Kid A" their 'Dark Side of the Moon' a true piece of art as music, and "In Rainbows" is this absolutely luscious but wicked and layered and simple yet as deep as the ocean as far as the music and crafting. This is where they come together and create something as near to flawless as should ever be used in this type of context. For whatever my recommendation is worth, check out Disc 2 after From the Basement, then remember the Basement show as it is crucial to the next album, King of Limbs, which I'd go to and then be prepared to do the Basement session for that. After that there are some cool ways to go to explore a but before doing the 9th album. I'm going to see Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood make incredible music with there side band "The Smile" on July 5 - Gen Admission - getting early and getting right up front - so I fully believe there will be a 10th album, LP10, though it may be a couple of years and it may be the last, they all keep making and will continue to produce wonderful music. But this right here, what you just listened to is a gift, it's like saying, we can do basically anything, and this time we presented you this glorious music album to enjoy forever. So however that ranks it, that fact remains true. It is really as good as it gets. Props for maintaining an engaging commentary off the cuff for 1.5 hours - well done very cool //
Wow, that was some fantastic insight and commentary! Thank you for that 🌞🌈
@@ericgoodwinart Yeah man, thanks for the time and effort to create that video. Radiohead's B-Sides (though In Rainbows Disc 2 stands apart a bit as more 'official' than the other B-Sides released) are an entire new ocean of music - to me, after the culmination of hearing the last album, it'd be great to have so much more yet to look forward. The B-Sides for "The Bends" are really phenomenal - for 'Ok Computer' they are so good (and this is just an indication of what level these guys operate at) called "Airbag/How Am I Driving" was nominated for the Grammy for best Alt/Rock album - a B-Side compilation even got a Grammy nod. The Kid A/Amnesiac era has both the live album, that might be cool to check out in between "King of Limbs" and "Moon Shaped Pool" and the B-Sides are all from 'Amnesic' as those 2 albums are the same sessions, and yet again, awesome. HTTT more gems - King of Limbs, not exactly B-Sides, but 2 songs on a single 'The Daily Mail' which are unofficially part of the album - but a few singles sprinkled around it without a major B-Side album, though a full DJ Electronica remix album, so plenty of content. In any case, all of that is to say, IMO that would be a heck of a thing to look forward to once you've heard all of the current albums. But I stress one last time - "From the Basement" is a master key, for both this past album and the next, will change the way you hear and view the band in all positive ways. I remember I wore out the cassette of that Airbag single and extra tracks in my 96' Dodge Avenger, driving around the mountains of SW Virginia in college, indulging in mother earth, so to speak, dying for the next album to come. Then as well, there is new material on updated albums (like 3 songs on the 20th Anniversary edition of OK Computer and some more on Kid Amnesiac released in 2021) along with never released treasures, well known to over the top fans like me, from concerts - a couple that are as beautiful as anything they ever released. So the world is expansive. Great video once again, thanks for the work it must take. Peace//
@@dreww1609 wow!! The amount of music by them that I have yet to explore is intimidating yet exciting!
Dude you are going to absolutely LOVE A Moon Shaped Pool!
Can’t wait!!
I love watching radiohead album reactions, its like experiencing listening to the album for the first time all over again :)
That’s what I hoped for! Glad you thought so 🌞👍🏻
Maybe an unpopular opinion but House of Cards is my favorite song of In Rainbows. One of my favorite Radiohead songs ever!
I’m with you there. The lead guitar is so beautiful to listen to. It has a calming tune
Same
Sir I loved the reation, but I must say that for whatever reason the audio is SPECTACULAR! I have no idea why but the whole time I was thinking this sounds insane.
Hey thanks so much!! I’ve been getting better at recording and mixing audio 🌞
Love how your shirt matches the artistic splashy vibe of the album cover. Great choice ❤
Good observation on Reckoner. Thom said the guitar was inspired by a RHCP concert he attended.
Oh cool, then I nailed it! 🌞🌞 I like the Chili Peppers a lot too 🌶🌶
@@dewipayne5397 oh no way! So my RHCP comparisons were more relevant than I knew 🌞
And coincidentally, it's the song where Thom sings the album name.
I really think in rainbows (from the basement) is a great next step. It's awesome seeing how the craft their songs in real time.
And yes, the core five of the band has been the same since they formed
Thanks for the recommendation and the info 👍🏻
@@ericgoodwinart There are no copyright issues with the basement session for In Rainbows so no editing although that is not true for the other one (TKOL).
I love how you ask questions between songs and predict what might happen in the song/album. It really engages me as someone watching your video.
So nice bro, this album is perfect
Amazing reaction, I love the way you talk about the songs! Can't wait for the next album (The King of Limbs) because it's my favorite Radiohead album! I know most people don't like it very much but it is phenomenal in my opinion and you should do the Live from the Basement version (whether you wanna do the album first is up to you). They play the whole album in this live version + 3 new songs and the execution is flawless. Cheers!
Thanks so much! That’s cool to know that it’s your favorite👍🏻 I think that pretty much every new Radiohead album has become my new favorite as I’ve gone through their discography!
I like the studio album but I love the basement session.
@@jameshannagan4256 yes me too!
Radiohead have released several individually unique masterpieces. This is one of them. And they made it available for free to download and gave people the option to pay what they wanted or not.
I don't want to spoil anything but their "a moon shaped pool" is definitely one if not the most gloomy plus conceptional album by them. I really like the way you describe your thoughts and impressions, they are so out of the box yet so fitting. keep it up man :)
Well that is definitely a spoiler, but that sounds cool! But the rest of your message is nice, so I appreciate that!
I cannot stress this enough, but when you get to King of Limbs you HAVE to do the In the Basement session too! Hearing that album live and seeing the process of how they made it is next level.
And should I do the In Rainbows live from the basement before moving on to King?
I would do In Rainbows Disc 2 first, then The Basement session because they do songs from the second disc. Then I would recommend listening to the King of Limbs, followed by the Basement session for that one.
@@RafNorth ahhh thank you for letting me know that they do music from disc 2 in the basement session! Not sure if I had heard that yet 👍🏻 And disc 2 is definitely worth doing a reaction to?
@@ericgoodwinartYou don’t necessarily HAVE to react to Disc 2. It’s more of a compilation of songs that didn’t make it on the album more than a cohesive listen like the finished product. But there are some great songs there and us Radiohead fans will always eat up anyone reacting to any of their material. So is it mandatory? Nah, but if you want to put in the extra effort to do it I would certainly watch!
@@RafNorth And In Rainbows From the Basement has some songs from Hail to the Thief among others...
Big fan of your reaction style man keep it up, looking forward to diving into your catalogue and finding music through that!
Thank you!! I appreciate that 🌞🌞
From the basement whilst high was what made me fall in love with Radiohead PLEASE do a reaction similar to this it really is something truly mesmerising
In Rainbows always felt like an imagery of a sunset view in the nature to me. Just like being in the woods, with birds shirping, rivers flowing by and mountains surrounding. But the beach feeling could resonate too. And yeah, the coffee shop feeling is a welcome one. After all, it's melancholic bliss
Think this is my favorite album of all time. I loved Bends, Ok Computer and Kid A.... but this just hit every spot for me.
definitely when i’m at the beach, or just trippin in my room
Nude begins with the ending, but in reverse, so you’re pretty close there
That’s rad! TOOL did something similar with an interlude on their Fear Inoculum album called Legion Inoculant
Their best album, IMHO. It flows perfectly, the songwriting is exquisite and the production is top-notch. You should move on to The King Of Limbs. That will be an interesting reaction, lol.
this album has a pretty stacked B-side that you shouldn't miss out on
amazing reaction!! u seem like a super cool dude 🎸
Just a wonderful album, huge shout outs for recognizing how beautiful House of Cards is, a lot of people dismiss it as its less "complex" than others in the album, but I love how ethereal it gets with the atmosphere. Thank you, it's great to hear your commentary and thoughts in real time, I can't wait to see what you react to next!
I think that die-hard fans of a band will always find some faults along the way, and I can be that way too, but I’ve been happy to just focus on what I like about what I’m hearing on a first listen and the first few listens. It’s way easier to get jaded, and I try to avoid that with things I love like music as best I can!
I will never understand the the flack that House of Cards gets. I’ve loved it since I first heard it. It’s the most ambient track on the album which is a nice break between the colourful Reckoner and upbeat Jigsaw Falling Into Place.
@@mr.noride7226 Fully agree, it's such a beautiful track, the ambience is amazing!!
My favorite RH album. I am going to paint the front of the album cover on the back of a jean jacket. I could never get tired of In Rainbows.
Probably my favorite album of all time. Every track just fills the room in such a distinct way. Nude also one of the most beautiful songs ever, and Jigsaw probably my favorite song ever. too many memories to this album
We'd heard a lot songs live before it came out. There was a lot of anticipation. As a huge fan of so much of what they had done before, this one really moved me. I will never forget listening to it in the middle of the night when it dropped and then over and over and over that night and for months after. Just such an amazing warm vibe.
Great job. Fun watch. Id do from the basement next, then king of limbs, king of limbs from the basement, a moon shaped pool
49:20 funny you say that, heres what thom yorke had to say about it: "Anyway, the funny thing was that to be honest the guitar on it was really influenced by... I went to see the Chili Peppers a few times and I really like the way John Frusciante plays. And uh... it was sort of a homage to that, in my sort of clunky ‘can't-really-pick' kind of way." specifically talking about frusciante's two note chord style seen in scar tissue and a lot of his solo work.
this was a great reaction, excited to see more. and would love to see a like clockwork reaction, that album is incredible.
This is the best album ever.
Please do not forget the huge amount of fantastic b-sides the band has no other band I have ever heard has so many great non-album tracks, more than many popular bands have a-sides.
What was a very insightful video turned smutty when it came to review the song 'Reckoner', with some decidedly insalubrious comments. I like it!
Haha what a great new word to add to my lexicon- insalubrious! I am glad you thought so!
Thank you for the beautiful insight at 22:20
The timing of an unintentional burp after saying “fresh” was too perfect to cut out haha
You have that rare talent of expressing what everyone else feels but cannot vocalize. This was great, thanks, brother! I'm going to check out all your other Radiohead reactions for sure. Much love from Portugal.
Great job, thank you. Its probably my favorite Radiohead album.
Thanks! Yeah, this could end up there for me as well- but I’m excited to hear the next 2 albums as well!
Masterpiece of an album!
In Rainbows disc 2 is surprisingly good, at least four of the songs are good enough to be on In Rainbows itself.
this album teleports me to me as a teenage girl listening to it for the first time. And it still sounds so fresh❤ i've had a lot of 'my favourite tracks of the album', but that changes over the years so much😂 i've seen Radiohead live on the 'In Rainbows' tour - i was in the front row, but I felt a little out of breath there, so I went to lay on the grass and listened to the rest of the performance on the grass and looking at the stars. best experience🌈
I spend my time these days watching reactions to Radiohead albums. A mixture of jealousy that you are getting to hear them for the first time and anticipation of what your reaction will be to what I know is coming. Counting the seconds to your 'Oooo' or 'Wow' reactions 😂 didn't disappoint! This album is the Radiohead Summer album, as light and colourful as they get. Is it their best? Probably, maybe, depends!
That’s rad that so many people like you agree on the summer vibes 🌞🌈
I’ve done the same with TOOL songs and albums and noticed that there aren’t THAT many reaction videos to Radiohead songs and albums. Glad you enjoyed it!
great reaction!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I love that you cut rhythmically .. None of the reactors does this. As a drummer it sooths my ears - especially when you listen to my favourite band. Thanks!
Thanks! That took a lot of extra effort, glad you appreciated it 🌞🎶
Brilliant reaction! Loving your channel, especially the text comments as you go. Some of those really crack me up
P.s like clockwork by queens of the stone age is definitely worth checking out.
Also random one, but another brutish band came to mind. Everything everything, electronic pop with some big radiohead sensibilities. Plus the lead singer is very different. Newest album is super catchy but emotioally interesting
Oh cool, thanks so much! Each edit and pass through to add stuff took at least an hour and a half, so I’m glad that the added text commentary added something worthwhile🌞👍🏻
Like Clockwork, check👍🏻
The other band is called “Everything Everything”?
@ericgoodwinart Yeah it adds a lot especially in moments you'd prefer not to talk over the music, or you're analysing something you said and changing it up slightly. Very nice touch!
Correct 'Everything Everything' there very diverse in their sound really, been compared to radiohead on some of their more recent cuts. Raw Data Feel 2022 and Get to Heaven 2015 are probably the best standalone albums.
@@CaveWang great, thank you!
I just listened to this last night, what an experience, incredible album.
Nice reaction my guy. You seem to pick up a lot of stuff from a first listen! I've listened to this album a lot and you still touched upon a few things that I hadn't noticed or thought about. I look forward to more of your stuff!
The live sessions are mindblowing good it’s studio quality. Even better.
love to see the house of cards appreciation! it's consistently the most disliked on the album but it's my favourite, i love it so much
Aw no way, it’s amazing!!
I love it too! I think many people don't like it because they don't know the meaning behind it and it is musically very simple. Beautiful track though! It always gives me goosebumps when I listen to it!
@@en16ma_music Isn’t it about hooking up at a key party? Personally I don’t like it because it’s the only song they do that just seems surface level and shallow like every pop song: “let’s not think about our lives and just f*ck.”
I could be wrong, but that’s my thinking.
@@ROArecords2 for me it's about a man in a doomed relationship falling in love with someone also who is also in a doomed relationship (hence 'forgetting' the fragile 'house of cards'), struggling to come to terms with it and being in denial. i don't think the key party line is necessarily just about wanting to fuck someone, i think it's just a method the doomed lovers can use to be intimate without the consequences
@@Theo-yo8ph I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and go with your interpretation because the idea that he would write a cheesy song about hooking up doesn't fit what I know about him as a songwriter.
can i just say, perfect cuts to the songs mate haha, everyone else cuts the song in such weird ways for their reactions
Hey thanks for noticing and acknowledging that! Otherwise chopped up songs lose some momentum with all the misaligned beats that would happen without intentionally editing them together on beat as best I could 👍🏻 Took way longer but worth it; otherwise the listener has to find the beat again after every splice!
23:06 Yes, the intro of nude is the outro played backwards (except for the drums)
Oh cool, I’ll listen for that!
I'll put my vote in for in rainbows from the basement sessions for a next reaction.. My top favorite RH albums vascillate between in rainbows and kid A.. One of the times I saw them live on this tour, was with lawn seats but it was still awesome..got to meet up with some online fellow rh fans too. Though its not my favorite track off the album, jigsaw falling into place was definitely a stand out track played live.. Looking forward to more reactions..
Videotape actually changed a lot when it was in the process of being made, in 2006 radiohead went live in bonaroo and videotape was sung but in a much different tone. I assume it was changed because it didn’t fit being the last song of the album but I like both the live and studio versions. I’d recommend giving it a listen if you have the time, I think you’d like it
Sounds cool!
It actually has a hidden syncopation, we hear it “different” from what they’re actually playing.
I also really get into Queens of the Stone Age discography while I was listening to all the Radiohead discography :D That Bodysnatchers fuzz and multi-layered guitars are very qotsa but you also need to add creepiness which Radiohead has in OK Computer.
Re: QOTSA, if you haven't heard their album "Like Clockwork," you'll most likely enjoy it, it's kinda undeniable. I haven't checked out their latest (it's only just come out) but I'm looking forward to being able to give it the time it deserves. I personally don't think that they have much in common with Radiohead stylistically, but both groups feature incredible musicianship and songwriting, and it's been fun watching them both evolve over the years.
That’s the one I would start with, as I know it’s the first one I haven’t listened to (or any afterwards). I like any music that has a unique sound, and QOTSA definitely has that! I’ve listened to “Songs for the Deaf” and “Era Vulgaris” many times each
Great reaction vid. It is a really beautiful album. You're also beautiful to look at ;)
Oh thank you haha 🌞
@@ericgoodwinart you're most welcome! I can't wait to see your King of Limbs and A Moon Shaped Pool reaction vids.
I'm shocked you're new to this album, its my absolute favorite 😍
*edit
Nude is my favorite track
You’re awesome man
Hey thanks! 🌞👍🏻
You might be thinking of Nick Drake during Faust Arp I get that vibe from it.
Still checking back for the next RH album!
This one is medicine for your soul
17:37 I'd love to see an Era Vulgaris or Like Clockwork reaction!! You'll notice a boat load of inspo from the sounds off this record / others like it!
I love Era Vulgaris but haven’t heard Like Clockwork yet!
what you mentioned on "off-beat" on videotape is due to the song having hidden syncopation all over it. they usually have to start several times at live concert because people clap on the wrong beat and each instrument starts in a different time, so it messes everything if they don't catch from the beggining.
I jumped straight to ALL I NEED
In Rainbows is the last scream of beauty before death
need a caracture of the radiohead members that would be so crazy😭
I should definitely draw them sometime!
I liked it! I agree it doesn’t seem as experimental as hail to the thief but it’s all pretty solid stuff. I think I might like hail a bit better? it might have songs that I liked liked more but this one might be overall more consistent solid. also, would you consider updating your profile picture? I like your new stuff!
I think I agree with all of that! And yeah, maybe I should haha
it takes me out of this small room i'm in
Yes, you should listen to the "Unlimited Love" album by RHCP, it's great!
Love the reaction! For me, and I think for Thom too, this album is: well i'm going to die so just enjoy the ride.
Definitely feels like enjoying the ride of life on this one 🌞
And thanks!
I listen to Radiohead as a backdrop to my daydreaming, indeed preferably outside, with the risk of enacting what the music makes me feel and scare one or another bystander
Nice vibes
Faust is a character from a play in which the motif of the angel and devil on the shoulder originated from. The light and dark forces of the world pulling Faust in different directions, personified in angels and devils.
In Rainbows - from the glorious middle of Reckoner. "Because we separate like ripples on a black shore... In rainbows, in rainbows, in rainbows" So ethereal rhat its very hard to hear the words but its one of the most beautiful moments on a flawless album...
That IS beautiful! I’ve gotta listen to the album with the lyrics sometime soon👍🏻
Best album of all time in my opinion.
Nude is interesting in that Radiohead recorded it for OK Computer but weren't satisifed with it yet. It was a fan favorite B-side/live song for over a decade before it got put on In Rainbows with Colin's amazing bassline.
Also you've mentioned Neil Young a few times in your Radiohead reviews and I don't think you'll be surprised to know that Tom Yorke is a big fan. Radiohead has covered one or two Young songs live.
Oh wow, interesting that it goes back to the OK era! And that’s pretty cool about Neil Young, thanks for sharing 🌞👍🏻
Opening nude is really reverse from ending of Nude too
I did not know, Tyson Fury has a good taste in music ;)
The word for this album is cohesive.
Absolutely!
As my friend Ethan said, In Rainbows is the biblically accurate, best album by Radiohead
They (only Thom and Johnny + a marching band) performed 15 Step live at 2009 Grammy's
I've heard someone said that Arpeggi is plural of Arpeggio.
Oh wow, cool! (For both)
Funny you mentioned RHCP, they cited Frusciante as an influence which you can definitely hear in songs like Nude, Reckoner and House of Cards.
Great album and what’s even better it was a free download when first launched on iTunes as part of Radioheads approach of pay what you can afford.
During the intro to Nude, it is indeed backwards! It's actually the outro reversed :)
I found this theory on Genius which I thought was actually genius: It’s worth mentioning that as soon as Yorke sings the first "on videotape", the drums immediately start going "out of control". The sound produced is similar to that of a tape reel doing likewise. The words repeat in rhythm with the drums because the tape is stuck on a loop.
Oh that’s an interesting idea!
If you are into the dance-y bits of Radiohead, I think you may like King of Limbs. Its actually one of my favorite Radiohead albums. there is a lot of dance-y bits to it and then the back half of it is very atmospheric. I think you stated that you like atmospheric and dance-y bits. Separator blends those elements to me.
Videotape is syncopated, thats what you were picking up on.
Syncopated and also stop and go 🎵
Also videotape was a very upbeat song originally, they stripped it back massively. Was anthemic previously. Bonarro version is the best live version to hear it
Really… interesting! Would not have guessed that!
You should do the two basement sessions and The King Of Limbs transforms into a masterpeice from the basement, the studio version not so much.
What you said around 1:04:28 - 1:04:58 is very true and gave me the methaphorical idea that each one of these songs represents a distinct color of the collective rainbow that is the album. Might be a bit far-fetched, and of course not unique to this album, but I like the thematic fit here 😂
Oooo I like that way of thinking about it! Nicely said 🌈
I would not put it past them to do that with some help from Stanley maybe?
That bass sound in All I Need sounds like a Wurlitzer to me.
They do the entire album live without any loops remember there are 5 of them and they all play multiple instruments.
Bodysnatchers is honestly the best song on the album.
That’s a valid opinion! But I would have a hard time choosing my favorite 🌈
Nude, Weird Fishes, Reckoner, All I Need, Jigsaw, and Videotape would all say otherwise
Faust is an old German legend that has been adapted lots of times over the centuries by different writers. Faust sells his soul to the devil in return for knowledge and pleasures but in the end the devil will return to claim Faust's soul. It's the first time the old 'meeting the devil at a crossroads' story appears.
Ohhhhh cool, thanks for the info! So Faust is a character, not a writer or philosopher, got it👍🏻
Definitely recommend some QOTSA!!! Just pick up wherever you left off. Their newer albums are great, especially their most recent they just dropped. Dark, groovy, sexy, creative robot-rock.
Do disc 2. Not a lot of people react to that
You should listen to the Bonnaroo version of videotape. It has a whole different vibe.
