@Hxoi He already said that he liked it... ""In a rare moment of onstage chatter, Yorke said he listened to Toots & the Maytals version of "Let Down" from the upcoming 'Radiodread.' It's good,' he said.""
it is , although I think its being played in the same key, its just the voice, like when she sings what's thereee... she's hitting an A instead of an E
I agree but i think DUB SIDE OF THE MOON worked the best due to its slower tempos and vast style of pink floyd that fit Dub really easily. Radiodread and the Beatles one both work but not quite as good.
@katoness There have been numerous OK Computer songs out there that have been covered with some success, Paranoid Android and Subterranean Homesick Alien however, seem to be the difficult ones to me. I don't know, when you listen to a song, there are times when you feel it could be just as good or better in some other form and there are times with the exact opposite feeling. An example of the former to me would be like Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.
@renormalize99 stop being a biggot...and thats why its beautifull...because its their version of it..I dont think they were trying to exacly duplicate it buddy ...its called a COVER...lol
The reason this works (other than that Radiohead and ESAS are both amazing groups of musicians), is the complex basslines of Radiohead's music. They enable the bass player for ESAS to carry the groove, which is what's essential to any good reggae music. For some reason, I love it when the guitar upstrokes kick back in at 4:08 during the 'rain down' section. Awesome basslines going on here!

@mrmchpisto Dude. it's a cover. the spirit of covers is to add a piece of yourself to the original material...and you just took a huge shit on that idea. Who cares! the harmony is relative because it is a perfect fourth harmony that resolves to a major third. There. I just got technical like you did, except I didn't sound like an asshole. Easy stars is notorious for making AWESOME dub covers of the most popular albums of ALL TIME. For you to just go and downgrade their work for an A natural?
@Somestupidloser its just an opinion. Its not something I wished for. "There all uptight"....!! Its not like you made the album. You just have the fortunate choice of listening to it. I think the reggae trwist gives it another dimension. The only thing lost is that Thom Yorke doesnt do backing vocals on a couple of the songs. That would of been nice.
Wow! I loved Dub Side of the Moon, and this album is just as good! It is so nice and mellow, while keeping the core of the song solid and faithful to the original!
@stooge81 go to the hospital, there you will find help. In my professional medical opinion as doctor keary i think its wise you get these vices tended to before you hurt yourself or others. Please inform me of how you get along.
Thought it works pretty well - particularly after the 1st chorus...surprised u didn't think so...espec. if pretty baked! Then again if your not a Radiohead fan, guess thats enough of a reason. I like 'em & Pink Floyd & Beatles - Easy Stars do a great job with Dub Side of the Moon for sure! :)
I've meet my actual love listening this song on her past work, when i ask in the room of that bar who plays this song and nobody knew it, so unexpected she told me who play this cover, and i'm just fall in love with her lovely dreads.
Say! This is a really good cover. They made it work and it sounds very good. It's not easy pulling off a good cover of a great song but this group did it.
+hungout2dry44 Well, it's much more shallow than the first one for sure, thinking about the depth of instruments. Maybe you dig more about the reggae-rhythms. I take this is a tribute to the original version and it's not putting it to shame. Check out some stuff from Radiohead "from the basement" and enlighten yourself about what kind of musicians they are. Peace, rastaman.
I've been listening to Radiohead and Pink Floyd longer than you think.I don't limit myself to just one style of music .As for it being a tribute you are right .It was also done to bridge the gap in styles of music. Never assume something before you reason it out with me..I grew up listening to punk rock .Bad Brains was my band of the 80s an still is to this day
nope, Thom is singing in his head voice and using falsetto for this song.. that, to me, is a really important part... so i sorta kinda agree with that guy.
@FadedRock90 thank you for having sense....really I dont even know why some people comment ...its like they just need some one to listen to their bullshit,,lol
@dhpmathmusic it actually sounds like its in 7/4 because it sounds like the quarter note pulse doesnt change and we're just counting to 7 beats, if im not mistaken?\
@PhoneHomeProduction Really - You need to be more open-minded. I thought The Beatles and reggae would never mix until I heard some mash-ups and it was some of the best stuff i've heard.
Heard this alot at the weekend at a shambala festival..and i have to agree it does work...even though no one does it as good as the original.......but do like it Alot...many thanks for the up-load ;)
This is the worst Easy Star All Stars' album. I think it's because I'm not into Radiohead as I'm into Pink Floyd and The Beatles (especially Dark Side and Sgt. Peppers). But whatever, even if I'm not into something that doesn't mean it can't surprise me, but well, this didn't.
@dhpmathmusic I listened back to it, and I realized you're right. I was shocked before because I thought you were referring to the whole song, which clearly is in 4/4
I enjoy this cover, especially the way they handled the third section. Granted, it's really easy to make that section sound gorgeous, but I love their take on it nonetheless.
I was pretty baked when I commented, as I am right now. Doesn't worked man, sorry! Listen to "When I'm Sixty Four" or "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", Those are mind-blowing!
I LOVE Radiohead, but I love this too. I can see that although its a cover, its a great cover and has a lot of talent in its own right. Go: Easy Star All-Stars! =]
When you're chill af but also undergoing an existential crisis
Isn't that the story with everyone who carefully considers their existence?
Right on, top comment!
"Jah love his children" gives me the chills every-fuckin-time
esta versão é simplesmente linda! o pessoal do Easy Star são dmais!!
This makes so much sense!
hard to find good music these days! BRAVO :)
Este cover es magnifico.
i love that transition at 2:00
The original is amazing and this is so amazinger.
And sounds so Special.
@Hxoi He already said that he liked it... ""In a rare moment of onstage chatter, Yorke said he listened to Toots & the Maytals version of "Let Down" from the upcoming 'Radiodread.' It's good,' he said.""
Hermosura de canción!!! uff que delicia!
Kirsty Rock's voice is so beautiful
jah loves his children
beautiful:)
it is , although I think its being played in the same key, its just the voice, like when she sings what's thereee... she's hitting an A instead of an E
Nice cover..
This is better, not a huge fan of some of their other covers of Radiohead but this one is pretty flair
amazing cover, nothing else to say!
the vocals are by larry zybisko of WCW
I would like to hear Thom Yorke 's opinion about this.I I'd love to hear he likes it.
I agree but i think DUB SIDE OF THE MOON worked the best due to its slower tempos and vast style of pink floyd that fit Dub really easily. Radiodread and the Beatles one both work but not quite as good.
interesting... wonder how that sounds. are they from the caribean,,,
@Ducttaper i disagree. but this is just as cool
@jay123321321 Answering a comment from a year ago? about downloading music? seriously? critizicing that in 2010?
@n00bule how come?
AWESOME!
for reggea I think a female voice maybe fits the song better
@akshaynotkumar lazy!?
66th best cover of all time.......Welcome to the list. 2/3rds the way through.
@katoness
There have been numerous OK Computer songs out there that have been covered with some success, Paranoid Android and Subterranean Homesick Alien however, seem to be the difficult ones to me.

Jah loves his children lol
they should of used a male singer
@renormalize99 stop being a biggot...and thats why its beautifull...because its their version of it..I dont think they were trying to exacly duplicate it buddy ...its called a COVER...lol
nice and all but not the best on the easy all stars album.
Wtf is this?
Not bad. I expected worse honestly.
this album acts as a perfect middle ground for when your baked and wanna listen to radiohead and your pals just wanna listen to blazing music. love it
This cover of Paranoid Android is a masterpiece.
It’s my fave Radiohead song, and WOW this is brilliant!
Why am I just now hearing about this 15 years after it was released?
just enjoy, coming back after 12 years
16 years
When the brass section kicked in I fell in love.
The reason this works (other than that Radiohead and ESAS are both amazing groups of musicians), is the complex basslines of Radiohead's music. They enable the bass player for ESAS to carry the groove, which is what's essential to any good reggae music.

wow, what a great cover. really made it their own.
they always got great covers
how can something be this good?

Will I be haunted and hacked if I expressed my disappointment with 5Gs?
Is it wierd that I like this version better than the original?
Es solo apreciación musical, cada quien le puede gustar la versión que quiera, en lo particular a mi me pasa lo mismo me gusta mas este cover.
Luis Ramirez me tew.
Not at all. I actually prefer their cover of Billie Jean because it sounds as if it came from a grimy crime movie.
@ Somestupidloser yeah spot on, you just said it yourself. Its all down to the persons individual taste.
Thought it works pretty well - particularly after the 1st chorus...surprised u didn't think so...espec. if pretty baked! Then again if your not a Radiohead fan, guess thats enough of a reason. I like 'em & Pink Floyd & Beatles - Easy Stars do a great job with Dub Side of the Moon for sure! :)
@Sebastifariaan what that supposed to mean?.... most of us dont wanna hear a american falsetto....
easy all stars do this album better than the band. Better harmonys and a lot more uplifting.
God... I feel like sleeping smoking or holding the one I love... the first time I hear this version and I'm already downloading it
🎉🎉🎉
I've meet my actual love listening this song on her past work, when i ask in the room of that bar who plays this song and nobody knew it, so unexpected she told me who play this cover, and i'm just fall in love with her lovely dreads.
@jaheyes1 it was in response to someone's comment, i don't even know what it means now!
Pollis nunca te olvidare, eres el amor de mi vida. 💚💛❤️🖤
@FUCKSALT666 i don't think thats quite what toke cannabis meant... nevermind lol
Say! This is a really good cover. They made it work and it sounds very good. It's not easy pulling off a good cover of a great song but this group did it.
They brought this home no matter what anyone say. Sorry but I thin this is beter than the original.And I'm a fan also
+hungout2dry44 Well, it's much more shallow than the first one for sure, thinking about the depth of instruments. Maybe you dig more about the reggae-rhythms.

Never assume something before you reason it out with me..I grew up listening to punk rock .Bad Brains was my band of the 80s an still is to this day
+hungout2dry44 no way in hell this is better than the original.
"Fearless Vampire Killers" is one of the best songs ever written. I'm guessing that you've heard Shai Hulud's excellent cover version too?
I am totally assuming this girls hot based only on the sound of her voice.
nice and all but not the best on the easy all stars album.
yeah haha i dont think i wanna hear a caribbean falsetto
oh shit! ...when that guitar skank comes back in at 4:08...sooo heavy. sick
It's just so damn groovy
82 people who are amusical
wonderful voice and brass !
@BearWindAppleyard only two are west indian....
GENIAL!!! bien hecho!! i have the whole cd with radiohead covers!
sounds like Sade. nice!!
No, no it doesn't at all. Have you ever even heard Sade?? Quit just saying random things.
nope, Thom is singing in his head voice and using falsetto for this song..
that, to me, is a really important part...
so i sorta kinda agree with that guy.
esto me trae ultra buenos recuerdos de mis 16 años. 💜💜💜💜💜💜 haha. yieeahh!! 😎😎😎🔥
IMAGINATE MI HERMANO ME CONVIDO A FUMAR Y DESPUES SE HIZO POLICIA
E' Strano che mi piaccia una cover, specie di questo gruppo, specie di questa canzone,e manco er reggae me piace.... devono esse bravi....
way better then the original
@FadedRock90 thank you for having sense....really I dont even know why some people comment ...its like they just need some one to listen to their bullshit,,lol
@dhpmathmusic You need some music lessons. How in the hell could this be 7/87? Learn to count mate . . . it's clearly 4/4
Smoke a joint and stick this on when its a nice hot day and get some juice and ice...............just fucking awesome
Irie❤
3:38 - 5:35: 👌
@dhpmathmusic it actually sounds like its in 7/4 because it sounds like the quarter note pulse doesnt change and we're just counting to 7 beats, if im not mistaken?\

You don't remember, you don't remember... it needs the whaling guitar or something heavier. Otherwise it's a great cover.
@dhpmathmusic I listened back to it, and I realized you're right. I was shocked before because I thought you were referring to the whole song, which clearly is in 4/4
tuneezzz

Muito phoooooda !!!
No mamaaaar!!!!!! le da un toqueeeee uuuuuuuuffff!!!!
sin pedos de los mejores covers de radiohead que he visto!
I was pretty baked when I commented, as I am right now. Doesn't worked man, sorry! Listen to "When I'm Sixty Four" or "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", Those are mind-blowing!
I LOVE Radiohead, but I love this too. I can see that although its a cover, its a great cover and has a lot of talent in its own right. Go: Easy Star All-Stars! =]
Fuck yeah!!! Awesome cover to my fave band's music! Luv it luv it..well done, no one else could cover Thom Yorke like this band..WTF incredible!
tf

Didn't ever think a cover could give me goosebumps like the original!
