- Well we have finally made it to potentially the final Radiohead album and what a journey this has been, I have been so grateful for finding this band and their amazing work. Going through Radioheads discography over the last year has been one of the funnest things I have done in my life. Thank you to everyone who has been apart of the journey with me! On todays video we dive into the bands latest work "A Moon Shaped Pool" An album that I had circled for quite some time. Join me as I finally sit down and check out this epic project.

44:49 Final Thoughts
This album really showcases how good Jonny Greenwood is at composing and arranging for strings
Fun fact: this album begins with the word "stay" (Burn The Witch) and ends with "leave" (True Love Waits). It felt so perfect but also bittersweet
**mind explosion gif**
Or rather, don't leave.
And even further: it starts with "Stay in the shadows" and ends with "Don't leave"
It's possible that this was in reference to Thom Yorke's break-up with his longterm partner, who was battling cancer at the time. As in, stay in the shadows (more in the background, but still present) but please don't leave us.
(I dont know for sure if this was actually the meaning of these lyrics, or if it was just a coincidence)
Sadly, his partner didn't make it and died at the end of 2016
I am a firm believer that after some time AMSP will be considered as good as Ok Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows.
And I am a firm believer that The King of Limbs is a top 4 Radiohead album but people would probably never listen to me lol
AMSP is the most well-orchestrated Radiohead album in my opinion. It used old sounds in a new way, and with Jonny Greenwood being the garlanded composer he is now, it still gives me shivers every time.
@@alex11v3 I think it's because Morning Mr Magpie, Feral and Little by Little take a while to grow on people (Feral especially). The other 5 tracks instantly take me to a new world.
The Smile album is worth a listen. I wouldn't have been disappointed had it been the next Radiohead album after this one.
Saw them in December. I think you should give The Smile a try to see how they have evolved even more.
That’s what’s so cool about Thom and Jonny.
AMSP was released on my birthday 💗
❤
@@robinflach4572 The 2nd album is going to be fire. Read the Room has got to be the grooviest harder shit Thom has written in a while.
@@memetherapy oh yeah. I have the first one and the guys were so cool. They were autographing after every concert last year.
@@robinflach4572 i heard. been to 2 The Smile shows already (as well as every time they came through Montreal since HTTT). I think i'm too big of a fan to meet them. it'd be too awkward lol
Deck's Dark man, you hit the nail on the head, it's gonna be one of your favourites
You gotta be kidding me? The grass grows over me
LETS GOOOOO JACK!!! We made it! So happy you finally got here and I'm just happy you're a fan listening to this since the context of their old stuff is so nice. I feel like this album takes everything about them - glitchy, orchestral, ethereal, manic, beautiful, tragic - and rolls it into their most mature and solid album IMO. Only just started the video but hope you enjoy man.
Thanks legend !
I can comfortably say that i always get chills when the vocals come in on Decks Dark.
I've said it on other videos, but AMSP is the only Radiohead album that took me a couple of listens to "get", but one day I was just in this very introverted sad mood, decided to listen to this album, not sure why, and it just clicked. I finally learned the lesson that many others have had to but that I never needed to: Radiohead and their albums only ever grow on you. I still feel so dumb for feeling so underwhelmed my first listen. Such a beautiful album. And big love to Nigel Godrich, who's been their producer and engineer since OK Computer all the way to this album, and true fifth member of the band, always pushing their sound further and making their songs sound exactly as weird as they should be!
Also, yes, THE ERASER REACTION PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE!!!
sixth member*
Couldn't stop here.... Can't wait to get to Thom's solo work soon :)
this was almost exactly me too, I didn't really get it, but then one evening I was struggling to sleep and I laid down and but it on, and it clicked too, radiohead is great
You still gotta check out the From the Basement sessions they did for In Rainbows and TKOL, they're actually worth reacting to
What a journey this was. I hope you’ve enjoyed it so far, and here’s to your future reactions!
Legend !!!
It has to be said to this day that True Love Waits has to be both the most beautiful and heartbreaking song I've ever heard
Oooh, for me you can't beat Thoms Dawn Chorus. Gets me every time.
It really is
THE TRUTH WILL MESS YOU UP........... Been battling a 25 year addiction and the worst thing about all of it is - they're even better live...
After the last radiohead album, you should listen to radiohead 2)) - The smile. Their A Light for Attracting Attention is great.
The Numbers is my favorite on this one. Hands down
To fill the void:
Thom Yorke solo projects.
Jonny Greenwood film scores.
Sigur Ros…for when you miss the ethereal Radiohead and want more creative production and instrumentation.
Well done on your journey.
Aphex twin?
Thank you!
Fun fact: "hey it's me, I just got off the train" is the first line of Glass Eyes, and Ful Stop's synth and brass sounds like a train engine.
Also, glad you loved Tinker Tailor. That track tends to be divisive but it's one of my favorites. The end vocal sounds like it's saying "I love/miss you".
love how passionate you are about the music dude
thank you legend
Lucky enough to have seen them live and Daydreaming is incredible it just carries everyone who knows them deeply into such a place .
This band tho! It has been so fun to watch you discover what a treasure this band is. I am just now staring my own journey for the solo stuff and The Smile. I will never get tired of In Rainbows or OK Computer. There is a RH song on every one of my playlists. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
Your passion for music is infectious. Just love watching you vibe to these Radiohead albums.
Thank you so much !
Luckily, still quite a bit left:
- as everyone says, The Smile
- Thom’s solo albums, particularly Anima
- In Rainbows B-Side.. it’s almost as good as the A-Side
- OK Computer B tracks
- Atoms For Peace
- There Will Be Blood soundtrack by Jonny… incredible!!
- Additional individual tracks you CANNOT miss, including: Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses, Spectre, and Suspiria, among others
- Junun
Yup, there’s more… Let the good times roll!
Mannnn so much good stuff
@@cavemanjack I love the pace you're doing this with. Not everything at once.
Then there are all the remixes too 😁
I'm listening to this, headphones on, volume UP, waited for this one..
Btw this one also is a grower, it only gets better and better, believe me
The use of string sections in this album gives it so much texture. Easily the most cinematic Radiohead album
Not everyone's favorite, but I LOVE Identikit, and yes, the instrumentation! especially in the latter part of the track, I feel the same way about Morning Bell, after "cut the kids in half", that one's outro slaps too..
Underrated masterpiece
I really really want Radiohead to put out another album....but I can't lie, this is such a perfect ending to probably the most important musical careers in modern music. (and they're still all making music in separate projects, so there are echoes of them still)
FINALLY ! this is where radiohead's story culminates, a lyrically amazing album, and definitely their most emotional one, I'm so glad we could share your journey through this band's amazing discography, but you still have oknotok and kid amnesiae left so I can't wait!
After a few listens this went in my top 4 Radiohead albums, its the soundtrack to a movie nobody has made... and thats genius, we get to make the movie in our heads.
Another 10 out of 10 album, thats them got 4 perfect score albums IMO.
You should defo give The Smile album a listen and Thoms album The Eraser as well, both are brilliant....you aint done yet 🙂
And don't forget ANIMA !
Loved this series so much, how about some queens of the Stone Age next????? …like clockwork is an amazing one to start with
Would love to check them out !
Blur/Gorillaz full discography next?👀 (I know probably not, but I would strongly reccomend)
Will 100% find my way back to them at some point :)
@@cavemanjack great video btw! Radiohead are amazing as well :)
I realllllly hope Radiohead has one more in them
The Numbers has a Led Zeppelin vibe for me, one of my favorites..check out the live version of it and Past Tense that Thom and Johhny did, so so good ❤
Im so sad that this project is finished. I adored every episode of it so much. When i discovered Radiohead it was such an experience. It was not the first band that got me totally addicted. But it was the only band that felt like it fits to me 100%. It was such a joy just watching someone else authentically discovering these special songs for himself and feeling a similar joy as i did. I rediscovered many songs through your videos. Myxomatosis for example is now one of my favorite songs aswell. Again thank you for these wonderful reaction videos! I watched them a dozen times! Hopefully there will be a new album soon!
Thank you so much, they have created timeless music that will live on forever :)
True Love Waits is a song from Kid A/Amnesiac era. Its first appearance was on the ‘I Might Be Wrong’ live mini album.
Actually from further back around the BENDS/OKC time. Recordings and video of TY singing it with guitar. Some slight lyric differences but essentially the finished song.
no, Thom had the first live perform of True Love Waits in 1995
they have made a side project called "the smile" if you want to react to it they only have one album but is fantastic also listen to their single bending hectic
Will 100% check it out at some point !
YES PLS DO@@cavemanjack its as good as the best radiohead albums
I can't wait for you to get to the Thom Yorke solo albums.
Oh my, Jack. I’m going through a breakup && I cried my ass off when you did Fleetwood Mac. && now, AMSP. I’m not happy. I’m fkn elated for you, for us. What a beautiful journey. I love watching your honest takes. You remind me of how I felt when I first listened to them. Your laugh with the first track && sheer awe was such a beaut. Thanks for sharing your videos. You brought a smile to my day 💕
Man break ups are so rough! wishing you all the best as you fight through them. Both incredible albums, very different sounds but both so warm! hearing burn the witch for the first time is easily one of my favourite moments on the channel
The Numbers is an all-time great.
Great video and reaction. Your reaction is the same as mine was. What an incredible discography.
My suggestion would be to listen to a group that Thom Yorke participated in, called Atoms for Peace. Their only album "Amok" brings a new sound to the table while still having that Radiohead influence.
Big growers for me on this album were 'Glass Eyes' and 'Identikit'. Didn't quite get them first time - absolutely love them now
The Numbers!!! ❣️
That one always grabs me.
50th comment. Fantastic album. Really hope they do another 🙏🏻 ❤
Jack, it has been a joy following along with you as you fall in love with Radiohead just as so many of us did back in the day. The journey isn't over though, it's starting a new chapter with their new band The Smile. They've managed to evolve once again. IMO what they're doing now is their best. Please check out The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention, as well as Thom Yorke's solo albums and Jonny Greenwood's film scores. Thanks for the videos, I'd love to see more in the RH world
Thank you so much.!
Can’t wait to check out more from them !!
Please review A light for attracting attention, Jack. Love your reactions, man. Be well.
Great suggestion!
So glad to have taken part in this journey with you! I've heard all these albums an insane amount of time, but they never grow old.
I strongly recommend checking out the other projects from Thom, as well as "The Smile" project.
Thanks Legend!
Deck's Dark is just perfect.
I love being a part of your reactions. I keep coming back over and over😅❤
Ful Stop is one of the darkest sounding songs i’ve ever heard by Radiohead I love it so much. fantastic reaction Jack!!
Jack your reactions on the first track alone are almost exactly the same as I had in the release date back in 2016. This truly is in my opinion Radiohead's finest works
So, now we wait of York's solo albums) There are only three, but they are very interesting)
If talk about the album, I was most impressed by Tinker Tailor Soldier. These sandy sounds and this simple pionin just enveloped my brain. So calm and so intimate. It was especially nice to hear the re-interpretation of True Love Waits. Both, this and the original are amazing songs.
I appreciate the joy you bring to the listening experience, Jack. It's kind of a cliche that Radiohead is 'sad' music, but your response to these albums delights so much in the details.
I love this album, it really grows on you.
Got addicted to Full Stop for a while, best example of delayed gratification. I'd love to see you react to Flying Lotus, he's worked with Thom and they like each others music. Cosmogramma and You're Dead! 😁
Be sure to listen to it again Jack.
As for me, I'll be hanging around.
Legend!
Jack, listen to The Numbers a few more times and then check out the acoustic version with Thom and Jonny directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Every detail of that video makes it one of the absolute pinnacles of modern music.
Sweet
Will do !!
One thing that’s cool is that if you add together every studio album track from Radiohead (minus untitled from kid A as that’s not on the original album) from Pablo honey to AMSP the tracks reach a total of 100
i've been checking your channel for the last 2 months waiting for you to post this video.
Decks Dark, Glass Eyes And Identikit are my favorites. (That Bass in the end of Decks Dark It's just amazing, and the orchestra in Glass Eyes is pure magical)
OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG LET'S GO
hell yeah, been looking forward to this one
Brought tears to my eyes ahead of the final track. Great job.
Great journey, thanks for leading the way.
Glad you got to this one, has been fun coming across these Radiohead one’s in my feed every now & then always cool watching someone hear new Radiohead for the first time im kinda jealous.
YES been so excited love your videos, easily my favourite band. you are very lucky man
IM SO GLAD YOU FINALKY DID THIS ALBUM. I
I have always loved this album, it is my absoulet favorite, the strings and the guitars and the beauty that is present tense. The shuffles, the everything. This album to me is the absolute most thick and warm collection of songs. It feels, it truley feels like swimming in a pool of sound.
Great review, again! This is my favorite album to listen to with the transition between summer to fall.
Man, I really loved this video and the comments for each song. Truly one of the greatest albums of all time ❤
Love your videos Jack, greetings from Mexico ✌🏽✌🏽
I have really enjoyed experiencing listening to Radiohead again for the first time through you! Time to check out some of the B sides! Talkshow Host is one of my favorite songs. Also of course, the Basement recordings are epic! Thanks man you are 3/4 done now get to work! LOL
Your reactions have been so awesome. Took me back to when I first heard them! Thanks for the referral of Ballpark Music. I look forward to the reactions to The Smile. Atoms for Peace was another group with Thom and Flea. You might like that as well. Also, how about Wolf Alice.
Your intro brought me to tears bruh! Thank you for all the hard work you have put into these Radiohead reactions man! I appreciate it so much!
My pleasure!! thanks for being here from the start! has been an amazing ride
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of 10th album they will release!
I love your enthusiasm
Yup
Best band ever
I have been so so looking forward to this Mr Caveman.
Thank you for joining me again !!
Really one of the best albums they’ve ever made, crazy to think they’re still making masterpieces to this day and they’ve been doing this shit since the early 90s. Also I think the song you thought of at the start of the numbers is the national anthem on kid A, the start sounds very similar.
I was lucky to see Radiohead before they released Pablo Honey and they've been my favorite band since then. I absolutely loved your review of this album..you don't hold back and it was so good to watch. Subbed!!
I was so young when this record came into my life, but I was in the perfect moment to understand everything, the grey and dark atmosphere filled my broken heart.
I am very very happy to have concluded this journey with this last album and this last song from this magnificent band that brings all of us together with you Jack, it has been a pleasure. Long live Radiohead 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for joining me on this journey! Long Live Radiohead
Wow. What a ride! Have loved your reactions. Keep it up, looking forward to more
Thank you! More to come for sure
Thanks for doing this brother. Btw, the songs get better with each listen!
No problem Mate :)
Please do continue your reviews on the band members solo projects! I love Thom Yorke's album Eraser and Anima!
Love your videos mate keep up the great work!
Glad you like them! Appreciate it mate !
Still hoping that you comment on the basement sessions one day can’t wait for that
I loved your reaction! I was surprised by how quickly you were able to pick up and understand this album. decks dark will definitely grow on you
Glad you enjoyed!
Bros making me emotional 😂😂 i loved all these reactions and ill definitely keep revisiting them
Thanks legend !
Here we go!!!
Yeeeesss amazing! Gonna have to watch your entire RH journey now! They've been my favorite band since I was 15 (35 now..). Have you heard about Atoms For Peace? Thom Yorke and Flea from RHCP teamed up and created a MASTERPIECE! ❤
Been a long time since I’ve been this excited to click on a video. Thank you again Jack for your wonderful reactions have loved seeing you discover and enjoy my favourite band.
Also would recommend checking out the music videos for ‘burn the witch’ and ‘daydreaming’ both are excellent
Thank you! has been such a great ride
Best band ever, bar none. Even when i was into other bands and sounds, i knew Radiohead were special.
Thom's album "the eraser" was always one of my favorites.
So fun watching you have the same facial reactions as I did on first listen! It gets better and better with each re-listen, guaranteed. The Numbers and Desert Island Disk are phenomenal and quickly became my new RH favorites. All tracks are classic "best thing" about RH in my opinion.
Glad you enjoyed!
Ah man, that’s it, the journey is over! You're all caught up and it's been great reliving the Radiohead back catalogue with you. I love this album, its up there for me as one of their best, sometimes the best. I’m lucky, it got me hooked straight away, others it takes a couple of listens but once you are there it’s another masterpiece. Johnny & to a lesser extent Thoms, work in the movies really comes through in their later works, this album especially. Brilliant musicians, playing brilliant music, what’s not to love eh?! Theres no way this is the end of Radiohead, theres another album coming, I'm sure of it.
Journey ain’t over
Can’t wait for more !
Finally the reaction to the last album of this great band that is radiohead, I was looking forward to it after seeing all the previous ones, and I can definitely say that it was worth the wait, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you for all the great reactions!
No worries at all
Was a pleasure going through their amazing body of work
Great video again. I recommend listening to their side projects, I recommend going chronologically on it, Yorkes the eraser is pretty similar to Radiohead but he starts to seperate his sound from Radiohead on Tomorrows Modern Boxes.
This is my favourite Radiohead album by a mile too by the way.
Can’t wait to check out some more work from them soon !
Such an amazing record!!! I hope it’s not their last but if it is what an ending!!
Loved the series Jack, keep it up bud 👍
Thanks a ton!
My one suggestion is listen to Spectre. It was recorded around these sessions for a Bond movie and it was rejected and they just popped it out as a random single. And it's, for me, amongst their top songs
That sounds awesome
I'm late to the party but I am taking this journey with you, reviving my love for Radiohead. I will say that I did not get into King of Limbs when it first came out. Now that I listen again, I realize that I've been missing out this whole time. Hoping to find the same connection with A Moon Shaped Pool.
Never too late to fall in love with an album !
Desert Island Discs is a weekly radio programme on BBC Radio 4 which has been going for a really long time, it has a different guest each week and they have to choose things they'd take with them if they were stuck on a desert island, mostly music. Pretty sure that's the origin of the title for that song, Thom Yorke has been on it before.
This has been a pleasure CMJ - Let's hope the Radiohead story isn't over
Fingers crossed! Hoping for more
True Love waits has actually been around since like 1995, only played at live shows and was a fan favorite. It was written around the time he got together with his ex-wife, who he was with for 23 years. They divorced, and then the next year this album was released, and later that same year she passed away. It's really a heartbreaking listen with that context.
Present Tense was also around for quite awhile with very few live acoustic performances since 09, and Burn the Witch was known only by a snapshot of the title and lyrics in a journal or something like that, from back in the early 2000's. Us B-sides and rarities fans were eating good with this album.
