Radiohead always takes multiple listens to digest, you have to lay in bed with good head phones in dim or no light and just trip out a few times and it will click.
I am a Hip Hop Rap Fan. And I hate all other genre. But Radiohead is the only Band that catch me and u know what, Radiohead is the best music I ever enjoy
I told myself that if "how to disappear completely" did not get at least one "10" than i was going to leave a negative comment. This is a very very positive comment 😊
I told myself if no other commenter left a comment threatening to leave a negative review. If no one gave how to disappear completely a 10, I was going to leave a negative comment for the commenters. Instead, this is a very, very, very positive comment.
1:41 - Everything In Its Right Place 7:05 - Kid A 13:37 - The National Anthem 21:04 - How To Disappear Completely 28:36 - Treefingers 33:25 - Optimistic 39:35 - In Limbo 46:24 - Idioteque 53:45 - Morning Bell 59:17 - Motion Picture Soundtrack 1:03:05 - Untitled
In Rainbows is the perfect mixture of the electronic elements and some rock and Jazz, they perfected their genre blending in what I think is a perfect album.
i cant explain my love for this album.i stared the ceiling for 47 minutes 11 seconds straight when i first listened to it. it was around 3 am in the morning when i first listened to this album and the fuckin first 3 notes of 'everything in its right place' played, i knew something's coming. and when i reached 'how to disappear completely' it kinda changed my life, and my perspective towards music. by the end, i knew that KID A is my favourite album of all time and till date, it is. 'motion picture soundtrack' is my favourite song of all time like seriously a song like that cant ever be made. KID A is revolutionary, and plays a huge part in my life. everyone should listen to that album. period.
Listened to it for the first time this week when I was driving home from the gym. I ended up just driving in circles until I finished it. Such an immersive album
Apparently Thom put the lyrics together by cutting up pieces of paper with phrases on them and then pulling them out of a bowl. Reminds me of a similar anecdote with David Bowie.
The guy on tne right is definitely in the right headspace. Its a hard album to get into and understand and even I still have a love hate relationship with it.
As someone said, you should listen to their album In Rainbows, you're definitely going to like it. If I may suggest another album, you should also listen to Grace by Jeff Buckley! This guy has the most angelic voice that ever existed. Anyway, keep putting in the great work guys!
Highly doubt you'll see this but if you do, some albums i would recommend you guys would be Twin Fantasy (Face To Face) by Car Seat Headrest, Is This It by The Strokes, Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem and Selected Ambient Works 85 to 92 by Aphex Twin
The best part about Radiohead which makes them the best band ever is how you fall in love with the studio album, then you hear it live and it's a simultaneously a completely new experience while revealing more layers of the song you already loved. Definitely check out some live performances!
As many of you might know, Thom Yorke was in a really difficult place during that period, following the massive success of The Bends and OK Computer. He was dealing with a lot... burnout, disillusionment with society, and the pressure of expectations. It was a dark time for him, especially seeing other bands trying to replicate what Radiohead had done. It’s completely understandable. Imagine just having written one of the best albums in history, and then being driven mad by endless touring, interviews, and the constant demand for another masterpiece. Kid A is the result of all those intense emotions. You guys seem young. I'm a music producer based in Japan, and I've been in this industry for a long time now. I guess everyone has their own musical preferences, and you've grown up with music that often emphasizes short tracks, slick production, and minimal risk-taking. Attention spans are at an all-time low, and five-minute songs are becoming rare. You’d have to go back to the days when albums and CDs were the norm to find more of that. If you're into writing music, no matter the style, listening to Radiohead and other bands like XTC (check out the album Nonsuch) can really influence and inspire you. Let that music resonate with you, and it will help you create something genuinely new and exciting. And by new, I mean something that truly rocks but hasn’t been done before. Take Miley Cyrus' Flowers, for example. From a professional perspective, it’s perfect, it's a moneymaker with good production, fresh sounds, and a catchy chorus that hits at 26 seconds after a dry vocal start. It's designed to be straightforward and catchy. Now, compare that to Will.i.am’s Heartbreaker. Notice any similarities? We’ve moved from a time when you’d go home and listen to music to a time when music stops when you get home. Anyway, I'm glad to see you guys discovering all this music. Even if you feel like you're listening to it because of the clicks and the algorithm, the outcome will undoubtedly be positive.
There is a cover of Motion Picture Soundtrack by a horn ensamble being played at the funeral of one of their trumpet player. It is one of the most heartbreaking things I have seen in youtube, but is SO GOOOD.
Love your reactions guys. Huge Radiohead fan here. When I first heard this song, I HAAAAATed this record. It took me a couple years revisiting it (at the urging of friends) and it really is like a fine wine...gets better over the years. One of you said it perfectly. Rainy day. Smoke a joint in your car listening to this full blast. WALL OF SOUND. Looking forward to y'all reacting to Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows.
Brings me back to high school / college days. Everytime i hear radiohead never fails to give me goosebumps. Such a viseral reaction straight to the soul.
You got it… the album is one big song, and it really should be listened to that way, without break or distraction, a real, genuine transcendental experience. You guys should check out IN RAINBOWS
When it was on the CD the last track Untitled was actually a few minutes of silence before the it kicked in. First time I listened I sat there marveling at the experience then all of a sudden....
A lot more experimental, a lot more electronic, a lot more somber and isolated sounding. This album has such a particular sound which is what makes their stuff so hard to rank. This one was a grower on me for sure but like their other albums they just get better with time. I can’t wait til you hear A Moon Shaped Pool (2016) which has a good mix of all their sounds and my personal favorite.
Here’s the deal with “Untitled”: in the original release, it was not listed at all on the track listing. It plays exactly 1 minute after “Motion Picture Soundtrack” ends. I will never forget first discovering that. I had to recover from “Motion Picture Soundtrack”. That minute of silence was the loudest silence ever. Then when “Untitled” hit, it was completely unexpected, but it made me smile. This album is something else, man…
Watch the movie 'I Origin'. Don't watch the trailer though because they give the story away. Just watch the film. And look for the moment they use a song from this album. It'll change your life.
I recommend Amnesiac. Its definitely a different experience and their most experimental album, its not for everyone. But it has some stone cold classics and is worth listening to all the way through at least once.
Yall are hilarious hahahha. Yall should just go chronologically from here imo, tons of dank music and imo a crown jewel is their last album, a moon shaped pool.
I saw a band play National Anthem at the talent show in my high school when I was a freshman. Completely blew my mind, went home and listened to this album for the first time cuz my dad had it on CD. Expanded my music tastes so much. Edit: this was in 2001, the year after the album came out, my dad was just cool. Not like four years ago or something, I'm old.
"Untitled" was just a hidden track at the end of CD that played after a minute or so of silence... it wasn't ever included in the tracklisting hence the title of the song.
Since you guys listen to indie rock and alternative music, you should definitely check My Bloody Valentine - Loveless, Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation or Goo, Blur - Parklife, The Strokes - Is This It, The Smiths - any album.
Great album - though I disliked it the at first when it came out as I was a rock Radiohead fan so The Bends is still one of my favourite albums How to Dissappear Completely and Morning Bell are just perfect
And just to add lots are saying go straight to In Rainbows but worth considering every album of theirs as worth listening to - though perhaps the Basement version of The King of Limbs
The first time I ever heard this album was when it came out. Don’t do what I did and listen to it at the airport waiting on a flight and close your eyes. I came out of my trance and missed my flight out of Philly. But good thing was I got to get another cheesesteak.
might as well continue the radiohead experience with The Bends. Imo that album has Thom’s more flawless vocal performances and the instrumentals are immaculate.
Great to see someone loving Idioteque that much on first listen, top 3 Radiohead songs for me. If you like songs like that you’ve got to give Aphex Twin a listen, start with songs like Alberto Balsalm & Xtal and go to some albums from there.
I don't know the name of the guy who said it but "The ear being trained" in order to appreciate the end of the album is quite a brilliant take. Because when this album came out...Radiohead fans were thrown off. They heard something they didn't expect. Many loved it and many were confused. But it ended up being one of the greatest albums of all time. And that "training" you were talking about really brought it to the finish line
People will say listen to In Rainbows next, but the two albums in between, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief, both have some great stuff on them too and I'd like to see what you all think. Especially with Hail to the Thief, I think its way underrated and maybe in their top 4 best albums
y'all gotta listen to In rainbows next I think you guys would enjoy it.
Rainbows is my fav, looking forward to it when they do.
PLEASE. In Rainbows will make yall lose your shiiit.
In Rainbows is amazing. I think they should catch Hail to the Thief first.
@corvus.mortuus ye
Nah let them cook the other albums first, let it build up

Took me years to understand the sucking a Lemon lyric. Bro got it in seconds.

If you guys want some more heavenly tracks you gotta listen to vespertine by Bjork. That album is majestic af
Don't forget about Homogenic as well. Shit isn't as heavenly but it's definitely up there with Vespertine
post and debut are good too!!!
Yes 100% agree
I agree
You a real one for this. Love Bjork. Love that album the most.
Radiohead brings out my emotions of whatever I'm going thru at the time. Helps me heal and get past it. Radiohead is my therapist.
MY GRANDMA USED TO SING TO ME KID A ALL THE TIME
most based grandma of all time
Your Grandma???? Didn't realize I was this old
Did you ask Granmama why she was "Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed?"
Did you ask her why she slipped on a little white lie??
@@Johnathon_perkins she’s having her hip replaced next week
Apparently Thom put the lyrics together by cutting up pieces of paper with phrases on them and then pulling them out of a bowl. Reminds me of a similar anecdote with David Bowie.
That was the cut up technique pioneered by William S. Burroughs in the 50’s to the 60’s
"Untitled" was originally supposed to be a hidden track on the CD, but obviously with streaming that kinda doesn't work like that anymore lol
Yeah, I loved that discovery. Also the hidden booklet beneath the cd tray. It took me months to discover that.
I'm gonna go nuts when yall do In Rainbows! Loving this video!!
Idioteque is an easy top 5 Radiohead song, might be their best. It is a quarter of a century old and still sounds like it is from the future.
Actually the whole album feels like it is from the future
The guy on tne right is definitely in the right headspace. Its a hard album to get into and understand and even I still have a love hate relationship with it.
i think kumikovezina3649 likes this album!
How did you know?
Took me 4 or 5 times listening to Kid A before it all of a sudden just hit. Its a masterpiece
Love it when i see people react to How To Dissappear Completely for the first time 🤯💥
I GOTTA STOP GLAZING RADIOHEAD SIKE NOPE
I LOVE FLOATING DOWN THE LIFFEY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love sleepy jacking the fire drill
Cannot wait for In Rainbows reaction. Loved watching you fall in love with this album ✨✨✨

How to disappear, Pyramid Song and Weird Fishes are three legendary songs.
Bro this brings me back memories of being college and smoking a joint and listening to Radiohead on my headphones. In Rainbows is also a classic
Brings me back to high school / college days. Everytime i hear radiohead never fails to give me goosebumps. Such a viseral reaction straight to the soul.
MY FAVORITE RADIOHEAD ALBUM
Everything In Its Right Place is one of the best album starters ever.
i feel spiritually connected to jazz
You got it… the album is one big song, and it really should be listened to that way, without break or distraction, a real, genuine transcendental experience. You guys should check out IN RAINBOWS
I love the commentary, appreciation for music, and occasional images/memes fantastic
Idioteque into Morning Bell is 👌🏼

I've heard this album a 1000 times and just now realized the Aphex Twin influence while watching this reaction.
Love that you guys thought Idioteque was good, first time I heard that shit I knew that shit was GOATED.
amnesiac is radiohead's sister album to kid A, a jazzier take on this same sort of experimental sound, highly recommend it!
Great reaction guys! Can't wait for you to react to "In Rainbows" or "The Bends".
As others said In Rainbows next and then finish it off with A Moon Shaped Pool if you want a hauntingly beautiful album.

yalls chemistry is funny as hell man lol enjoyed the reaction
In Rainbows is essential listening. On par with OKC and KID A

In Rainbows finna go crazy
I busted so hard
RADIOHEAD REALLY DROPPED AN ALBUM THIS COLD AND FORGOT TO GIVE US BLANKETS
Would love some more Beach House. Bloom and Once Twice Melody in particular.
I love love love this album. Take a wild guess what my username was inspired by. I know, it's tough, I'll give you a few tries.
might as well continue the radiohead experience with The Bends. Imo that album has Thom’s more flawless vocal performances and the instrumentals are immaculate.
yall gotta listen to grace by Jeff Buckley
This one is an acquired taste...ultimately up there with their best albums though
Cannot wait for you guys take on In Rainbows.
The 7s in the first 3 songs blow my mind. Such great songs.
Great to see someone loving Idioteque that much on first listen, top 3 Radiohead songs for me.
If you like songs like that you’ve got to give Aphex Twin a listen, start with songs like Alberto Balsalm & Xtal and go to some albums from there.
yall really have to do The Bends, i think yall would dig that one. Has a lot of variety. My personal favorite album
this was an amazing video btw
I recommend the album "Odelay" by Beck.
To me, morning bell is divorce with "cut the kids in half"
In Rainbows will be a soulful trip
So happy this came out
Me and my friends love The Boys, that impression fucking killed me
