I always imagine stars being born, the universe expanding, plants sprouting, and flowers blooming, The music literally blooms throughout the song. It's definitely one of my favorite songs on the album.
That’s such a good way to put it. Ive always said ranking Radiohead albums was one of the hardest things to do and everyone looked at me weird but this is like such a good comparison because they’re all so amazing in like their own unique way.
Johnny Greenwood is the main musical composer with Thom Yorke , he has composed film scores and for some major films . What you should know is that they do all this live when in stage it’s incredible. It’s not just computers in a studio .
Your enthusiasm is really infectious! When you started the music and it was through the speakers I thought "aww I don't think I'm gonna be able to listen to this" but then an hour later, looks like I did! Honestly I was a little worried when you restarted Climbing Up The Walls knowing how intense it gets at the end, so it's cool that you got so much out of it that it ended up being a fav. This whole reaction felt super personal and I really appreciate that, so thanks!
aww im so happy you stayed along!! :) and man, climbing up the walls really touched my soul! def in my top 3. means the world to me that you enjoyed the video
Also, The Tourist is one of their most underrated songs in my opinion. FANTASTIC tune. And that vocal performance was a one-take 'guide vocal' by the way - which they kept. Coz it's f****ing amazing.
It can't possibly be understood in one listen. Listen to it 100 times and it will keep revealing its layers. You can go SO deep with this album if you spend time with it
It sounds like you're embellshing but the instrumentation really has SO many subtle touches. Shout out to the secondary guitarist Ed O'Brien for so many haunting sounds and backup vocals.
I was 18 when this album came out, and had just got my first full-time job, in a record store, a busy branch of a big chain. It truly was the soundtrack to that year for so many, capturing the zeitgeist of late 90s Britain, but especially for me. I was struggling with so many things; my identity as a person, disenchantment with the world, with adulthood, relationship heartbreak. I felt lost, scared, alienated, numb. This album just captured everything so precisely that it felt like my own neuroses had started a band in my head. It remains one of my most cherished albums.
It's funny that you compare Paranoid Android to Bohemian Rhapsody. I've heard also from others that Paranoid Android is the 90's equivalent of Bohemian Rhapsody for alt-rock. I think that was a very good comparison. And yes, this entire album is amazing! Loved your reaction!
@@simonread8713 In your opinion but the facts are... Muse have many multi platinum albums. 176 award nominations with 70 of those winning. And are widely regarded as the best live performing band on the planet today. So...
@@Tass... but we're not talking about figures. We can point to endless cookie-cutter pop stars who've sold lots of albums and won lots of awards. Look, it's a subjective thing. You like what you like, I like what I like, somebody else probably thinks a Justin Timberlake album is the greatest. Enjoy what you enjoy.
10:22 "What is happening?" was my EXACT reaction when hearing this song/album for the first time. I love how unpredictable radiohead is! Great video, I hope you react to kid A in the future :)
This was one of the better reactions I've seen to this album. It annoys me when reaction videos are a half the duration of the album, but this had the perfect amount of editing. I also appreciate you putting in time stamps. These are some albums that I think could make some interesting reactions, if you haven't listened to them already. Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition (2016) This is a super dark, and experimental hip-hop album with some of my favorite lyricism ever. Danny's voice can be off putting for some, but I personally love it. The Microphones - The Glow, Pt.2 (2001) This is an indie folk album with a lot of amazing genre blending and super lo-fi production. Just a warning though, it is extremely emotional. Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind (1996) This is about as inaccessible as an album can get. It's disturbing, weird, and VERY long (It's almost 2 and a half hours long), but if you're able to get into it, then it's some of the most mind-blowing music out there. Black Midi - Hellfire (2022) This one's also super experimental and chaotic, but it's more fun and less of an emotional rollercoaster like the other three.
earned yourself a sub, absolutely in love with radiohead rn and this video delivered all of the reactions this album deserves. In Rainbows is still absolutely my favorite right now. It is definately a comfort album for me
This is the most relatable reaction I’ve seen to this album. I had the exact same reaction. Can you please do the bends next ? Another amazing album by them. I appreciate how open you are about your mental health too , these songs make us feel a typa way that can’t really be explained but it’s definitely rooted from our anxiety and need to escape.
girl i literally love you this is the best vide’ i love this album and it changed my life i am so happy when i see other people who connect with some of these songs so deeply! keep doing what ur doing bae it’s working :3
Really cool and REAL reaction - thanks for being so in the moment and open. I heard this when I was 21 when it came out and the first listen I knew I'd heard my favorite album yet and ever, and 25 years later it remains true. As you become more familiar and comfortable with the lyrics, it will feel less frantic and overwhelming and sink into your being and it'll be with you forever. "Kid A" is the next album they did and it is SO DIFFERENT it is crazy - equally genius but so experimental it is hard for a lot of listeners (myself for sure) to vibe with initially but if you are digging the sounds of the future, that album is even more unreal - it defies all genres and is it's will be it's own thing eternally just as this album is - but Radiohead makes a point to try new sounds every album on all 9 albums - you can trace the evolution if you know them all and look back, but you can experience them in any order you like and find something magical in each one). That being said, this one here is special - the only album I compare it to is "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd - I bet more comments will say the same. It has the same impact. Great tunes surrounded by mood and sound and atmosphere and makes you both uncomfortable while wrapping a warm blanket around you. OK Computer is about how fast things were changing in the 90's (I am so lucky that was my decade for music - it was epic in every genre) - alienation, disconnection, technology, globalism, paranoia - yet hopefulness, but hopefulness all of us as people while we need each other and we need a little help always, need to strive to ensure for yourself in the face of all that struggle, internal and external, you remain balanced through human connection. That has been true through all time but this album remains so beloved because it articulates that concept and all the hurdles while doing it with such amazing songs and a sound that shimmers through time without constraint, it is just the best. Thanks for sharing this! Peace from a fellow Pisces //
hey fellow pisces!! i love your comment so much because i feel like we both think then same about this. i also adore DSOTM. I want to get into more Pink Floyd soon! ❤
Loved your reaction to this masterpiece, I wish I could listen to it for the first time again, I’m lucky enough to have seen this live at Glastonbury in 97’ there is no other band like Radiohead, simply stunning xx
I’m loving your reaction to this!!!! I love Radiohead!!! Would definitely love to see you do more reactions to their music!! I also recommend Portishead!!!
Growing up in the 90s in the UK and managing to see Radiohead, Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede, Manics, OCS many times on tour I feel soo lucky! Great reaction btw ❤
I had this album on cassette when it was first released, played it to death, cemented my love of this band forever. Wonderful reaction - almost a trope that Radiohead is for depressed teens but you're coming at it with great energy and finding the joy in it all.
You seem to have very good taste, as well as an unusually strong ability to articulate the meeting points between your emotional reactions to music and more objective aspects. If you're doing "Kid A" next, well, good for you! It's a strong candidate for Radiohead's most innovative, forward thinking masterpiece. For me, though, it took the longest of any of their records to get through to me. I essentially had to discover and fall in love with Krautrock (Can's "Future Days" and "Ege Bamyasi," in particular) before I really "got" "Kid A." Your obviously open mind will serve you well, there. Enjoy!
I love that you made all the same faces I did when I heard this at 13. I got this, and a Godzilla box set for Christmas changed/ruined my whole life. My condolences, it looks like you've caught it too.
Ayyyy this is what I watch reaction videos for. I love seeing someone get it the way I got it the first time I heard it. ESPECIALLY a song like Climbing Up The Walls 😌
I really didn't expect to watch it for a whole hour with these heavily cut songs and no bass at all. 😁 But I actually couldn't stop watching, because of you. Your energy and expression is very charismatic. And I love the way you experience art with your whole heart. Yes, this album is about your life (and maybe Thom Yorke IS your mother, just kidding), but it's about my life in the 90s too. That's the magic of art. It transcends and elevates. And just to put this in perspective: When living in the 90s, "OK Computer" didn't come as a total surprise, because their album before that, "The Bends", already pointed in the same direction. What came as a total surprise was their album AFTER this, called "Kid A", because they just refused to do a sequel of "OK Computer" and completely re-invented themselves, which was a genius move.
You showed up on my recommendations!, I enjoyed your reaction to Ok,Computer,and subscribed, enjoy ing the voyage of the younger generations experiencing the music I grew up on,warms my heart,thank you for your enthusiasm ❤️😊🎵🎶
This has to be the most random Radiohead reaction I've seen on The Tube. It's perfect. Also, FWIW, this album came out as I was recovering from my car accident (and all the paranoia that had been building up since I graduated from university) so it spoke volumes to me as well.
This album is a masterpiece. I can never get tired of Radiohead. In Rainbows and OK Computer are my favorite. If you think in context of when the album was released you can better understand the message about technology. Airbags were still relatively new, so an airbag saved his life, that was kind of a new thing still. I'm glad you discovered this wonderful band.
I watched the video for 'Paranoid Android' when it was in high rotation on NBC's Friday Night Videos. Then stopped listening to Radiohead until 'There, There'. Since then, I've been trying to convince people that Radiohead is the best group out there. To find a sista who loves Radiohead brings tears to my eyes.😂😂😂
You should absolutely check out the rest of Radiohead's discography. Trust me it will be a wild ride. My personal second favorite after ok computer is hail to the thief. Also, I think its kinda cute how you get all flustered and excited when youre talking about stuff lol. Maybe you should also listen to the full song and then give your comments after, so you can appreciate the song fully and then have the full picture aswell
You seem like a cool chick. I love it when people have the time to really indulge in an album. Some people just don't know how to do it these days... music is always just background, an over-produced video, or serves a purpose (dancing). I'm trying to get my wife to really properly listen to music and appreciate how the moving parts work together. I'm finding it hard without sounding like a pretentious prick. Music that surprises you and keeps you on your toes while still sounding good is always the best. Not easy to do though.
This is probably my favourite reaction to an album on TH-cam. To watch someone physically feel the music in the same way you did, like when I first listened to it is the closest I’ll get to experiencing these albums for the first time again. Real reaction, subscribed 👌🏼
I loved this album when I was in high school. Probably the easiest Radiohead album for me to understand what it's about. Some might say it's TOO easy to understand, and I could see that, but it still gives me all kinds of deep thoughts.. so that's what counts to me :)
That scream at the end of Climbing up the Walls always gives me shivers. It just cuts right through. What an album this is. Truly remarkable how applicable it is on todays society. They really were ahead of their time with this album.
I will always argue to the death that this is, and always has been Radiohead's best and most impactful album. In Rainbows is a very close second. I was 14 when this album came out and it literally blew my mind. I still get goosebumps every time I listen to it, even 20 years later. Also, I think Thom Yorke is everyone's husband. He's such an adorable man, and HIS VOICE. And Subterranean Homesick Alien is still my favorite Radiohead song of all time. This album was underrated when it came out(IMO), and now in hindsight it's so far ahead of it's time. It doesn't matter when you experience this album, it's going to be relatable, and magical.
I really enjoyed this video and I’m really glad you loved this album. You made a lot interpretations about a lot of these tracks and I’d like to say you nailed it pretty well. Had a lot of fun watching this keep doin ya thing ❤.
Notice your My Bloody Valentine record on your wall and I was like oh what she likes shoegaze!?? Then minutes later you mentioned your a big fan of shoegaze music which is pretty awesome 💯🔥
16:03 one of my fav songs 🙏 you may have heard it at the end of black mirror ep 3 season 3, the end credits of Romeo + Juliet, the end of season 1 of the 100 or in the umbrella academy season 1 but I forgot the episode
I recommend doing Radioheads The Bends. They did this album prior to OK Computer and it really shows where they came from. And then do Kid A which is like a sequel to OK Computer
This is really radioheads transition album from a more strait forward rock band and to a more experimental one. It’s certainly my favorite. It’s really hard to understand the specific themes of isolation and disconnect this album invokes unless you were alive in the 90’s at this time. It was the transition period where the technology creep had changed from “on the periphery” to “front and center;” invading every aspect of our lives. This album incorporates those feelings so well; but it also adopts so those same themes of technology into the music. The third aspect is how mental health crashes into technology.
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. This album came out when I was 17 and helped me find the understanding to my anxiety, my distress. It took me to read more about capitalism, and how work routine, institutions and all the stuff I wasn't aware of was taking me into depression. Sorry for my English! Greetings from Argentina, the land of wine, soccer, mate, and tango haha!
exit music (for a film) was used in one of the seasons of the umbrella academy. not sure if thats where you heard it before or not but when i saw it while watching I was very surprised.
Great reaction. Very real. You should check out Beck-Odelay also released in 97 (or 96, can't remember) a melting pot of styles- hip hop, funk, country,rock,pop,blues, punk with crazy lyrics
would love if you reacted to Ants From Up There - Black Country, New Road, it has the most climactic moments of any album ive ever heard, and it is deeply heartwrenching
Thom does amazing solo work. There's a video of him doing 'Analyse' at the Mercury Music Awards on here. I must've seen it 100 times. Just him & a piano holding a room of music 'experts' in the palm of his hand. He creates such an atmosphere. It's easy to find. It would be a good little reaction. I love Harrowdown Hill too, it's about the mysterious death of a politician who opposed the Iraq war. His album is a classic. Best male voice in music.
oh, btw? Thom York dedicated OK Computer to the lead singer/writer of Cardiacs "OK Computer wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for Cardiacs and Tim Smith"
I love that wrote out list on spiral notebook! We have the same 4-5 songs that are super impactful, Aitbag, Subterranean, Let Down, Lucky, Climbing Up The Walls,, No Surprises . Thom understands hurt and searching for way out.
If ur into the Experimental vibe more its not most ppl favorite but is been my favorite from the time it was released The Kings of Limbs, hope u to listen to it😊
Funny you should say you could hear Let Down as playing over a montage, because The Bear first season finale uses it over a montage but its actually a very uplifting scene where everything is coming together after so much terrible shit happening lol had me crying my ass off lol
My favorite band is Tool with Radiohead in a very close second. And this is probably my favorite album by any artist front to back. Next level shit. Thanks for this. ✌️
Let Down is one of the best songs of all time. I listen to that last verse-chorus on like infinite repeat when I listen to this song lol
such a great song!
I always imagine stars being born, the universe expanding, plants sprouting, and flowers blooming, The music literally blooms throughout the song. It's definitely one of my favorite songs on the album.
I get stuck between "Let Down" and "Karma Police." You could listen to them back-to-back on a loop for hours and feel NO passage of time. It's weird.
@@fckboyfuneral You know.. you know where you are... where...😢
Bouncing back and one dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Even Radiohead's 8th best album would be an album any other band wishes they could make. Personally, I got Kid A as their best.
gonna check that one out next!
@@fckboyfuneral LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
That’s such a good way to put it. Ive always said ranking Radiohead albums was one of the hardest things to do and everyone looked at me weird but this is like such a good comparison because they’re all so amazing in like their own unique way.
🙏🙏🙏🙏@@fckboyfuneral
and I love that!! @@Miyoak
First listen of OK Computer with a glass of wine by your side, sounds like heaven to me. Your charisma is infectious, great reaction
thank you 🩷🩷

aww im so happy you stayed along!! :) and man, climbing up the walls really touched my soul! def in my top 3. means the world to me that you enjoyed the video
A Radiohead song that I can really connect with is “Bulletproof…I Wish I Was” from their album The Bends.
"That song sounds like flying" is possibly the best description of Let Down I've ever heard haha
hahaha I swear that's how I felt!
Also, The Tourist is one of their most underrated songs in my opinion. FANTASTIC tune. And that vocal performance was a one-take 'guide vocal' by the way - which they kept. Coz it's f****ing amazing.
It's their best song ever.
Agreed. The community barely talks about this song but it's one of their finest. If their final concert ended with it I'd be very happy.
Based
It can't possibly be understood in one listen. Listen to it 100 times and it will keep revealing its layers. You can go SO deep with this album if you spend time with it
It sounds like you're embellshing but the instrumentation really has SO many subtle touches. Shout out to the secondary guitarist Ed O'Brien for so many haunting sounds and backup vocals.

Golleeee man you need to do Ted talks 😂 you got a way with words fr
I wish I could go back to the first time I listened to Ok Computer
Also, your reaction to Fitter, Happier is spot on. You hit the nail on the head
It's funny that you compare Paranoid Android to Bohemian Rhapsody. I've heard also from others that Paranoid Android is the 90's equivalent of Bohemian Rhapsody for alt-rock. I think that was a very good comparison. And yes, this entire album is amazing! Loved your reaction!
It's rightfully regarded as the greatest album ever made. Utter masterpiece.
Muse, Dire straits and Pink Floyd might have something to say about that. And that's just British alternatives to that claim.
@@Tass... Muse don't even have anything in the conversation. Pink Floyd, sure.

Swans would be crazy
"I feel like this album is about to ruin my life"
Exit music for a film waiting around the corner like a mugger lmfao
earned yourself a sub, absolutely in love with radiohead rn and this video delivered all of the reactions this album deserves. In Rainbows is still absolutely my favorite right now. It is definately a comfort album for me
🫶🏾🫶🏾
i think In Rainbows might still be my #1
i love your reaction to no surprises, personally that song helped me go through my lowest points in life and it means so much to me
Exit Music was on an episode of Black Mirror which may have been where you heard it
yes!!! that episode with that crazy boy lol
This is the most relatable reaction I’ve seen to this album. I had the exact same reaction. Can you please do the bends next ? Another amazing album by them. I appreciate how open you are about your mental health too , these songs make us feel a typa way that can’t really be explained but it’s definitely rooted from our anxiety and need to escape.
absolutley!! I wanna do that one so bad so it may come after Kid A!! and yes you are so right about the escape thing...much love
I love this reaction so much!!!! I love how you feel the music 💜💜
thank you so much!! music is everything to me lol
"That song sounds like flying."
That's a perfect description for LET DOWN.
11:33 Yes! Exactly. This is the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' of Radiohead. :)
YOURE LITERALLY STUNNING. I LOVE RADIOHEAD AND NOW I LOVE YOU FRFR
omg thank you so much!!! ♥️♥️
Welcome to the family.
happy to be here!
Its seems strange on the first listen, but when you get the feelings, is hard to stop.
Btw, it would be cool to se your In Rainbows reaction
girl i literally love you this is the best vide’ i love this album and it changed my life i am so happy when i see other people who connect with some of these songs so deeply! keep doing what ur doing bae it’s working :3
ok i can’t type but it’s fine
"This song (Let Down) sounds like flying"
That's sums it up pretty neatly, I think.
Loved this so much. Really emotional to see someone hear this their first time and resonating so deeply with it. Thanks for sharing!

this reaction made me so happy. you get it fr thank you for this
Loved your reaction to this masterpiece, I wish I could listen to it for the first time again, I’m lucky enough to have seen this live at Glastonbury in 97’ there is no other band like Radiohead, simply stunning xx
Kid A is next and very different but a masterpiece.. loved your reaction
kid a is next for sure!!
Your reaction for Climbing Up the Walls almost broke me. That's me, also a Pisces when I listen to that one.
I’m loving your reaction to this!!!! I love Radiohead!!! Would definitely love to see you do more reactions to their music!!
I also recommend Portishead!!!
Growing up in the 90s in the UK and managing to see Radiohead, Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede, Manics, OCS many times on tour I feel soo lucky! Great reaction btw ❤
thank you!! ugh i’m so jealous of you rn i wish i was in that time lol 😊
I had this album on cassette when it was first released, played it to death, cemented my love of this band forever.
Wonderful reaction - almost a trope that Radiohead is for depressed teens but you're coming at it with great energy and finding the joy in it all.
thank you so much!! and I can see that trope for sure LOL
I would say music for adults who are old enough to have dealt with real grief and had to learn to deal with it.
One of my all time favorite albums will love it forever
Paranoid Android is like no other
Literally blows my mind every time
You seem to have very good taste, as well as an unusually strong ability to articulate the meeting points between your emotional reactions to music and more objective aspects. If you're doing "Kid A" next, well, good for you! It's a strong candidate for Radiohead's most innovative, forward thinking masterpiece. For me, though, it took the longest of any of their records to get through to me. I essentially had to discover and fall in love with Krautrock (Can's "Future Days" and "Ege Bamyasi," in particular) before I really "got" "Kid A."

I love that you made all the same faces I did when I heard this at 13. I got this, and a Godzilla box set for Christmas changed/ruined my whole life. My condolences, it looks like you've caught it too.
a lot of music critics did throw around the term 'postmodern bohemian rhapsody' around the time Paranoid Android was released
i love your energy omg
thank youuu
I love watching people's first reaction to Paranoid Android
Ayyyy this is what I watch reaction videos for. I love seeing someone get it the way I got it the first time I heard it. ESPECIALLY a song like Climbing Up The Walls 😌
goatedddddd song!!
The Verve's "Urban Hymns" was another classic album released the same year. It's not as well known as OK Computer, but it packs an emotional punch.
"I must be feeling low"
"I talked to God in a phone box on my way home"
might gotta give it a listen because i love The Verve’s ‘A storm in heaven’
I second this. An album that can go forgotten but is brilliant from the same time .
I'm proud to be one of the fans who listened to this piece of art in 1997.
i’m so jealous
You should listen to more of Radiohead’s catalogue, Moon Shaped Pool being my personal favorite.
i’m doing Kid A next!!
I really didn't expect to watch it for a whole hour with these heavily cut songs and no bass at all. 😁 But I actually couldn't stop watching, because of you. Your energy and expression is very charismatic. And I love the way you experience art with your whole heart. Yes, this album is about your life (and maybe Thom Yorke IS your mother, just kidding), but it's about my life in the 90s too. That's the magic of art. It transcends and elevates. And just to put this in perspective: When living in the 90s, "OK Computer" didn't come as a total surprise, because their album before that, "The Bends", already pointed in the same direction. What came as a total surprise was their album AFTER this, called "Kid A", because they just refused to do a sequel of "OK Computer" and completely re-invented themselves, which was a genius move.

it really is magic!! i loved this album so much

exit music for a film was in black mirror. dont know if it was the show you were referencing but it could be.
This has to be the most random Radiohead reaction I've seen on The Tube. It's perfect. Also, FWIW, this album came out as I was recovering from my car accident (and all the paranoia that had been building up since I graduated from university) so it spoke volumes to me as well.
i’m happy you’re okay!! and thank you❤️ hope to do more soon
Exit music for a Film is from the soundtrack if Romeo and Juliet, with the leonardo de Caprio. Great film too!
Absolutely loved this! I'm excited to hear how your thoughts have changed by the time you react to their next album 😁
Love to see the mental gymnastics to make the astrology make sense 😂 but nah fr awesome vid
This album is a masterpiece. I can never get tired of Radiohead. In Rainbows and OK Computer are my favorite. If you think in context of when the album was released you can better understand the message about technology. Airbags were still relatively new, so an airbag saved his life, that was kind of a new thing still. I'm glad you discovered this wonderful band.
It was so amazing watching you absorb this music. The video for No Surprises is very bold, worth a look.
I'll check it out!
I watched the video for 'Paranoid Android' when it was in high rotation on NBC's Friday Night Videos. Then stopped listening to Radiohead until 'There, There'. Since then, I've been trying to convince people that Radiohead is the best group out there. To find a sista who loves Radiohead brings tears to my eyes.😂😂😂
yessss! we’re out here for sure lol
You should absolutely check out the rest of Radiohead's discography. Trust me it will be a wild ride. My personal second favorite after ok computer is hail to the thief. Also, I think its kinda cute how you get all flustered and excited when youre talking about stuff lol. Maybe you should also listen to the full song and then give your comments after, so you can appreciate the song fully and then have the full picture aswell
You seem like a cool chick. I love it when people have the time to really indulge in an album. Some people just don't know how to do it these days... music is always just background, an over-produced video, or serves a purpose (dancing). I'm trying to get my wife to really properly listen to music and appreciate how the moving parts work together. I'm finding it hard without sounding like a pretentious prick.
Music that surprises you and keeps you on your toes while still sounding good is always the best. Not easy to do though.
I hope to see some more Radiohead from you in the future!
My favourite album on the alternative psychodelic rock for sure
This is probably my favourite reaction to an album on TH-cam. To watch someone physically feel the music in the same way you did, like when I first listened to it is the closest I’ll get to experiencing these albums for the first time again. Real reaction, subscribed 👌🏼
omg thank you so much🫶🏾🫶🏾 it was a crazy experience i cant wait to hear more of their work
I loved this album when I was in high school. Probably the easiest Radiohead album for me to understand what it's about. Some might say it's TOO easy to understand, and I could see that, but it still gives me all kinds of deep thoughts.. so that's what counts to me :)
my favorite album ever. love your reaction
That scream at the end of Climbing up the Walls always gives me shivers. It just cuts right through. What an album this is. Truly remarkable how applicable it is on todays society. They really were ahead of their time with this album.
Kid A is by far their best in my opinion. Everything In Its Right Place is SO GOOD!!!!
You might love “LONERISM”, by Tame Impala. Another great album of this generation
In rainbows next!! Very emotional album
3:31 getting the blanket caught in the chair wheels is a problem that no technology could ever solve. Kinda on theme with OK Computer :P
I will always argue to the death that this is, and always has been Radiohead's best and most impactful album. In Rainbows is a very close second. I was 14 when this album came out and it literally blew my mind. I still get goosebumps every time I listen to it, even 20 years later. Also, I think Thom Yorke is everyone's husband. He's such an adorable man, and HIS VOICE. And Subterranean Homesick Alien is still my favorite Radiohead song of all time. This album was underrated when it came out(IMO), and now in hindsight it's so far ahead of it's time. It doesn't matter when you experience this album, it's going to be relatable, and magical.
Dude you fucking GOT IT this was such a fun watch!!! :)
thank you 🩷🩷
I really enjoyed this video and I’m really glad you loved this album. You made a lot interpretations about a lot of these tracks and I’d like to say you nailed it pretty well. Had a lot of fun watching this keep doin ya thing ❤.
thank you so much! happy you had a good time watching
Notice your My Bloody Valentine record on your wall and I was like oh what she likes shoegaze!?? Then minutes later you mentioned your a big fan of shoegaze music which is pretty awesome 💯🔥
16:03 one of my fav songs 🙏 you may have heard it at the end of black mirror ep 3 season 3, the end credits of Romeo + Juliet, the end of season 1 of the 100 or in the umbrella academy season 1 but I forgot the episode
I recommend doing Radioheads The Bends. They did this album prior to OK Computer and it really shows where they came from. And then do Kid A which is like a sequel to OK Computer
This is really radioheads transition album from a more strait forward rock band and to a more experimental one. It’s certainly my favorite. It’s really hard to understand the specific themes of isolation and disconnect this album invokes unless you were alive in the 90’s at this time. It was the transition period where the technology creep had changed from “on the periphery” to “front and center;” invading every aspect of our lives. This album incorporates those feelings so well; but it also adopts so those same themes of technology into the music. The third aspect is how mental health crashes into technology.
definitely agree with that! i was super young when it came out but will forever remember watching technology change and rebirth in front of me
fantastic reaction, cant wait to hear your opinion on motion picture soundtrack from kid a
im so excited for this one
i LOVE your energy
thank youuuu😊😊
i think it was the wine lmao
“I’m not meant to be here, I’m meant to be somewhere else” Yeah Heaven.
It's the exit music for Romeo + Juliet.
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. This album came out when I was 17 and helped me find the understanding to my anxiety, my distress. It took me to read more about capitalism, and how work routine, institutions and all the stuff I wasn't aware of was taking me into depression. Sorry for my English! Greetings from Argentina, the land of wine, soccer, mate, and tango haha!
hahaha hiiii from the usa!!! thanks so much 4 watching 🩷🩷
exit music (for a film) was used in one of the seasons of the umbrella academy. not sure if thats where you heard it before or not but when i saw it while watching I was very surprised.
Great reaction. Very real. You should check out Beck-Odelay also released in 97 (or 96, can't remember) a melting pot of styles- hip hop, funk, country,rock,pop,blues, punk with crazy lyrics
Also Beck's Mutations, Midnite Vultures (very Prince) and Sea Change (break up album,mellow)
you need to hear their complete discography!!! + thom yorke's solo projectd
my man thommmmmm
+ The Smile ❤
would love if you reacted to Ants From Up There - Black Country, New Road, it has the most climactic moments of any album ive ever heard, and it is deeply heartwrenching
we love a climactic moment
Same with Moon Shaped Pool, I instantly think of listening to it on my way to Chicago on the plane 😂
exit music was in a black mirror episode and it wrapped up the story perfectly. i absolutely love that song.
Thom does amazing solo work. There's a video of him doing 'Analyse' at the Mercury Music Awards on here. I must've seen it 100 times. Just him & a piano holding a room of music 'experts' in the palm of his hand. He creates such an atmosphere. It's easy to find. It would be a good little reaction. I love Harrowdown Hill too, it's about the mysterious death of a politician who opposed the Iraq war. His album is a classic. Best male voice in music.
i love him so much
oh, btw? Thom York dedicated OK Computer to the lead singer/writer of Cardiacs "OK Computer wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for Cardiacs and Tim Smith"
hmmm now i gotta check them out!!
I think you would DIE for an album called Transatlanticism my Death Cab For Cutie. Masterpiece.
I love that wrote out list on spiral notebook!
We have the same 4-5 songs that are super impactful, Aitbag, Subterranean, Let Down, Lucky, Climbing Up The Walls,, No Surprises . Thom understands hurt and searching for way out.
he really does!! and omg my notebook has soooo many albums i have to get to lol
(Climbing Up the Walls) Ditto.
so real
The drums on climbing up the walls 👌
If ur into the Experimental vibe more its not most ppl favorite but is been my favorite from the time it was released The Kings of Limbs, hope u to listen to it😊
Aww man where’d you go. We need more of ur bubbly personality ❤
i’m back 🥰
Funny you should say you could hear Let Down as playing over a montage, because The Bear first season finale uses it over a montage but its actually a very uplifting scene where everything is coming together after so much terrible shit happening lol had me crying my ass off lol
You’re all over the place and I love it! 😂❤ Subbed!
Thanks for subbing! and yes I'm chaos all the time lmaoo
exit music (for film) Black Mirror, shut up and dance ep
yessss
Lucky tied with let down for me as best song of the album as well as Tourist actually lmao
My favorite band is Tool with Radiohead in a very close second. And this is probably my favorite album by any artist front to back. Next level shit. Thanks for this. ✌️
you’re welcome ❤ i’m definitely doing a Tool reaction on here!!
