Yayyyy thank you guys so much 😊 This is literally one of my two favorite songs ever. And yes Ok Computer is amazing all around… one of my “deserted island” albums Thank you for the birthday wishes!! What a wonderful present 😊❤️🤘🏽❤️✌🏽
I'm a metal guy predominantly and this is a regular listen, I heard this one on one of the NOW compilations we have here in the UK when I was 10/11 and loved it immediately
So Paranoid Android is a reference to my favorite book... The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Marvin The Paranoid Android is one of the greatest pessimist to ever be written. Also Paranoid Android is a ROM for rooted Android phones.
@Vanessa B. I don't think he was, however the book is a must. I have the one with all 6 books in one. Some of the funniest writing ever. Person 1- it is unpleasantly like being drunk Person 2- whats so unpleasant about being drunk Person 1- ask a glass of water Pure genius
Be prepared guys....OK Computer actually needs a full Album review....it just might be the best Album of the '90s....and that in a decade stacked with amazing Bands!!!!
Agreed. There are a few albums from this era that are on my all time list, and OK Computer is one of em. Smashing Pumpkin's Siamese Dream, as well as Red Hot Chili Pepper's Blood Sugar Sex Magik being a few others...
@@voidwraithprime8521 don't forget about Faith no More's "Angel Dust" or Tool's "Aenema"....well...guess there are just too many we could be mentioning....
Exit music for a film is another amazing piece of music on this album. If you don’t do the full album review you should def do that track next!! Great reaction guys 👏
I'd recommend Pyramid Song to get another flavor of Radiohead. While all Radiohead sounds like Radiohead, each song is its own immersive distinct experience. No band comes close to Radiohead IMO. They are the Beatles of our generation and its worth exploring their whole massive catalogue on your own free time. Smoke a J and listen to Kid A. I dare you.
Finally someone who speaks out what I keep saying for years now: they are The Beatles of our generation. And that is no exaggeration or a bad comparison. The creativity, the versatility, the evolution in their music, the musicianship itself, the marketing and production aspects and the sheer genius of both bands are outstanding both in their own times. I highly recommend listening to Fake Plastic Trees, There There, How To Disappear Completely and Exit Music (For a Film). Thank you.
A great example of Radiohead using lyrics as food for thought. What matters most is what the listener thinks,not what the person who wrote the lyrics was trying to convey.
One of the most complex and best songs of all time. Glad to see you appreciated the content and the high class in it. It’s not for everyone. Lots of reactions online don’t get the sheer quality and broadness of creativity and remain stuck at the “depressing” side of it missing the bigger picture.
Saw them live at msg in 2018. I knew what song was what due to watching all their live performances, but the fact they they played an entire body of work 4 nights straight was just amazing.
This album was literally my life when it came out in the 90’s. A decade where music was important.....it meant something, full of hip-hop and grunge, shit sounded rough and dirty....and suddenly this band emerges with a singer that sounds like a fuckin angel.
Thoms vocal style was influenced by the great Jeff Buckley. He saw Jeff live and then went and wrote Fake Plastic Trees. He said that hearing Jeff gave him permission to use his voice to emote. Check out Jeff if you can, a very talented man who died far too soon. Jeff influenced Muse too.
Radiohead are truly an international band too. This song was used as the ending theme of the anime Ergo Proxy, and it fit the theme and tone of the show perfectly.
You're right about it being like 4 different songs, it is a composition of 3 different songs written by the band, the original recording was something like 14 minutes long!
If you haven't seen a live performance of this yet you have *got* to see Paranoid Android live on Jools Holland in 1997. it's on youtube and it gives me chills every single time I watch it. That and Creep live in Landgraaf from 1996)
My late father used to work in a well known mental health hospital in the UK and met the lead singer of Radiohead there as he was sectioned in the hospital for a few years. The reason he has so much soul and grit to his voice is the fact that he means and feels every single depressing lyric. He lived through scitzphrenia and much more. Amazing artist.
Ok dudes. You know I love you guys. I'm just getting to this now after finishing watching my England lads get beaten by Italy in the Euro football (or Soccer as you guys say) finals. You couldn't have picked a better song for my mood now. Radiohead have always helped me get through tough times. One of the greatest bands on the planet. The whole "OK Computer" album as I'm sure many of the Trash Talkers have already said is a masterpiece. I wanted to comment first before hearing what you guys think. To me it's like Radiohead's "Dark Side Of The Moon". It's an album that should be listened to as a whole as you get the best overall effect of the underlying theme and tone of the general album concept. It's an incredible piece of work that has aged like a fine wine. Peace and love dudes! :)
"Gotta love RadioHead" yes you do In 2005 I sat in the parking lot at Red Rocks through an entire afternoon and listened to their entire show as they practiced then saw the show. One of the best experiences ever. Love your comments.
Guys that's the best reaction to this song i have seen, and I've seen a lot! Your reactions were genuine, informed, spontaneous and YOU DIDNT STOP THE SONG!👍
This song is such a masterpiece. So many twists and turns but it has such a wonderful flow to it. Unlike anything that was ever done before it. Thom Yorke is the man
Y'all should check out "Street Spirit (Fade Out)". It's all mellow, and will be stuck in your head for days afterwards. The guitar in it is just... beyond words.
The structure of this song was partly based off Happiness is a Warm Gun. Three different parts. Plus they threw some Queen and a little Pixies in there. Love this album.
I just love that you guys have the exact same reaction as me, when I first listen to OK Computer and paranoid Android. People who is in to music, Radiohead is an absolute must 🖤
Radiohead’s always been one of my favorite bands, from the song Creep in 1993 up to now. Thom Yorke’s voice makes every song he sings in. UNKLE featuring Thom Yorke with the song Rabbit in your Headlights is one of those songs. Just like how the video for Paranoid Android is distracting, so is the video for this song. Listen to the track first, hopefully you guys can react to it, then check out the video. It’s like a movie. Thanks and ✌️
Fascinating feedback on this, I'm a Radiohead-Head and have been following them since the start. Seen them multiple times and they are part of my life. Perhaps(being polite of course) you wonderfully friendly pair should check out Pearly(remastered as it happens, if not get a listen to one of the songs that did not make OK Computer, as Lift never made the record either. I enjoy the video's you do and thank you for this.
Fake plastic trees, Just, High and Dry, Exit Music, No Surprises. Probably the closest the 90s got to almost Pink Floyd meets Beatles. Such a unique style and band.
Ok Computer is one of those albums that is OK when you listen to an idividual song, but it is a fucking amazing album when listened to in it's entirity
@@iskandarhusainkhan627 I'm not disputing that they are all great songs, but the experience of listening to the album in it's entirity can't be matched
'OK Computer' is easily one of the best records of all time. Easily. I honestly think you guys should do a reaction to the whole thing. I think you'd get a lot of support for that.
Idioteque is my favorite Radiohead song. I'd love to see your reaction to it; such an amazing band. Also I would love to see your interpretation of the music video Just by Radiohead. I love your guys' genuine enthusiasm. Dueces! P.S. If you covered Chevelle- Emotional Drought that would be amazing. Also Thrice- Firebreather is worth a listen, I think you would appreciate.
The first time I heard this song was Live at Bonnaroo '12 (not legendary '06) on three hits of acid. This was the encore song. That night my head opened up, they got in there, my head closed back. Theyve been my favorite band ever since.
you should definitely check their " live from the basement " where they promote their first free for downloading album In Rainbows. if you see them doing their stuff live you will apreciate their music much more...
This is one of those albums you drive out to the middle of nowhere, crank it up, light one up, and just stare at the stars on the roof of your car …. Contemplating life, the universe, and existence.
If you all thought this was haunting wait till you get to "Climbing Up the Walls" and "Exit Music for a Film" off of this album!!! And after that you still have Pyramid Song and How to Disappear Completely to check out off their albums Kid A, and Amnesiac.
Yayyyy thank you guys so much 😊 This is literally one of my two favorite songs ever. And yes Ok Computer is amazing all around… one of my “deserted island” albums
Thank you for the birthday wishes!! What a wonderful present 😊❤️🤘🏽❤️✌🏽
Thank you for the suggestion and the support. Happy Birthday Shan hope we made it just a little better.
@@Hollywood6IX you absolutely did! 😊
Happy birthday 🎂🥳🎉🎈🎁🎊
@@DR.DisInfect thank you!! 😊
@@Hollywood6IX have you guys ever reacted to the cover for radioheads Creep by Postmodern Jukebox...? A must do imo it ya haven't already
This whole album is a masterpiece from start to finish!
Yeah, it really is LOL. Classic.
My feeling about the Bends
You mean the whole *back catalogue*
Agree here. An essential album.
I'm a metal guy predominantly and this is a regular listen, I heard this one on one of the NOW compilations we have here in the UK when I was 10/11 and loved it immediately
I just want that 1000 years from now this song will be remembered as one of the greatest songs ever made.
One of the greatest songs ever written, and it was inspired by a terrible time at a bar.
Tell the story.
@@luispavon1371ask nicely😡😡🤬🤬🤬
@@mikeyeyey8678 What are you wanna-be dad? WTF...
If I remember correctly “Kicking screaming gucci little piggy” is reference to a drunken Karen being detained by security at an airport
Literally just heard this on my car ride LOL this whole album is a must. Kid A is also a masterpiece.
Kid A is the greatest record I’ve ever heard
"Haunting" is exactly right for Thom Yorke's voice.. also angelic, ethereal, otherworldly... The man is uniquely talented and infinitely listenable.
Those are some fancy words magic man
Radiohead is a rabbit hole! Hope you guys do more from them.
More songs....Pyramid Song, Weird Fishes, Burn the Witch, Spectre, Morning Bell...all of them!
they were right about the distracting video lmao! first time I heard it I was like wtf am I watching!
So Paranoid Android is a reference to my favorite book... The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Marvin The Paranoid Android is one of the greatest pessimist to ever be written. Also Paranoid Android is a ROM for rooted Android phones.

Pyramid song is one of my favorite radiohead songs. It is so beautiful
Radiohead is one of the greatest bands of all-time. They put you in a trance like Tool.
Thank you one million percent for doing this! My favorite band! I hope you go down this Radiohead rabbithole! ❤️❤️❤️
A great example of Radiohead using lyrics as food for thought. What matters most is what the listener thinks,not what the person who wrote the lyrics was trying to convey.
I Watch this reaction regularly great job 👏
One of the greatest albums of all time. It's awesome to see younger people find Radiohead. More please. Love from England.

If you two ever get the chance to see Radiohead live please, please do. They are incredible live.
I got to see them in Baltimore when Kid A was the new album. I think they did a Saturday Night Live then too.
Saw them live at msg in 2018. I knew what song was what due to watching all their live performances, but the fact they they played an entire body of work 4 nights straight was just amazing.
@@peterhineinlegen4672 Saw them in Philly on the same tour. One of if not the best concerts I've ever experienced.

If you haven't already, I'd love it if you guys would check out subterranean homesick alien. It's my favorite song on the album.
Hands down my favorite song EVER! Glad you liked it too! 😊
I wish I could hear it from the first time too, their faces during in the middle part, that's bliss.
Radiohead are truly an international band too. This song was used as the ending theme of the anime Ergo Proxy, and it fit the theme and tone of the show perfectly.

Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely
Karnivool - Deadman
🤘

They were to music as Picasso was to art. Sometimes clear, mostly abstract…but always utterly mesmerising
My favorite track off this album is Climbing up the Walls. Definitely check that one out.

Y’all would be so chill to hangout with I swear!!
"Gotta love RadioHead" yes you do
In 2005 I sat in the parking lot at Red Rocks through an entire afternoon and listened to their entire show as they practiced then saw the show.
One of the best experiences ever.
Love your comments.
congratulations from brazil guys!!!

You got yourself a subscriber just for that radiohead analogy.

Yo dudes, gotta checknout any of the Radiohead live from the basement series! Will give a better appreciation of their talent!
This is one of my top faves songs from the 90's. Such a journey... and the whole album is epic.
One of the best live shows I've been to.
Yess i whould love the whole ok computer album
Paranoid android is a reference to the permanently depressed android "Marvin" from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. He's called it as an insult 😅
The structure of this song was partly based off Happiness is a Warm Gun. Three different parts. Plus they threw some Queen and a little Pixies in there. Love this album.
Apologies if someone has already mentioned but you just have to see this live on Jools Holland....it's utterly breathtaking x
I've heard they were going for a song reminiscent of The Beatles "Happiness is a Warm Gun". Also a great song and definitely worth a listen.
Great suggestion
So good it hurts ❤
One of the best Radiohead's song!!! So happy you discover this band guys!!
I just love that you guys have the exact same reaction as me, when I first listen to OK Computer and paranoid Android. People who is in to music, Radiohead is an absolute must 🖤
You guys have to the IN RAINBOWS from beginning to end 🙏
Ok Computer needs to be listened to from beginning to end in one sitting.

One of the best records recorded! Such an amazing concept.
I love watching someone really feeling a song that means so much to me. If you're not into this song, then you don't know music.

I was there too. 😎

anything from their albums called, 'Hail to the Thief'
my fav song on that album is '2+2=5' ✌️
I used to listen to this album in the 90's, driving the back roads of Missouri while smoking joints. It was the life, back in the day.
same, but Michigan
Northern California here. What the !*&!@ happened to music between then and now??
People in Québec, too...
If (when) the androids (ai) finally get paranoid, we are all effed.
I clicked right away as last night I was wondering if you had reacted to this song as I was thinking you might like it.
This whole album was made in a haunted house. They let it take other them and the album. A modern bohemian rhapsody
The character "Marvin" in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy might be a paranoid android.
“I might be paranoid, but I'm not an android.”
Funniest book ever written, hands down.
This song better than any rap songs
Great reaction guys. If you haven't already you should react to Radiohead - Reckoner live from The Basement.
MOAR RADIOHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Pink Floyd esque. Trash talk for life
'OK Computer' is easily one of the best records of all time. Easily. I honestly think you guys should do a reaction to the whole thing. I think you'd get a lot of support for that.
Yeah, paranoid Android is definitely Marvin from hitchhikers guide
Can't forget Karma Police too. That song and this song pulled me into the Radiohead orbit. The Tourist. So many damn good songs.
Great song from a great band. Love your reactions, congrats from Spain!!
One of my favorite Radiohead songs. The whole album is amazing.
Should check out
A Punchup at a wedding by Radiohead
Paranoid Android is a reference to a line in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy where Zaphod refers to Marvin as a "Paranoid android"
Idioteque is my favorite Radiohead song. I'd love to see your reaction to it; such an amazing band.
Also I would love to see your interpretation of the music video Just by Radiohead.
I love your guys' genuine enthusiasm.
Dueces!
P.S.
If you covered Chevelle- Emotional Drought that would be amazing.
Also Thrice- Firebreather is worth a listen, I think you would appreciate.
"Wolf at the Door" is a good Radiohead song to check out. It's kind of halfway between rap and singing, and it's pretty interesting
Radiohead and tool. Haven’t got a bad song
Weird fishes
Decks dark
Lotus flower
A punch up at a wedding
Pyramid song
Two of the best bands of my generation. Just genius
Can't forget Idioteque
I agree, and I'd also add Opeth to that list
The first time I heard this song was Live at Bonnaroo '12 (not legendary '06) on three hits of acid. This was the encore song. That night my head opened up, they got in there, my head closed back. Theyve been my favorite band ever since.
"Codex" is my #1 Radiohead track; it's like a painkiller...
It really is painkiller! Super beautiful!
Correct
Cool some Radiohead reaction 👍
One of the best albums ever
Thanks for doing this one and happy birthday @Shan5 🎉 I recommend you react next to “High and dry” by Radiohead. Great reaction guys. 👏🏼👋🏼👍🏼🙌🏼💜🇨🇦
Thank you Amber!! 😊
Excellent
you should definitely check their " live from the basement " where they promote their first free for downloading album In Rainbows. if you see them doing their stuff live you will apreciate their music much more...
Genius isn't strong enough for Radiohead. Meaning of life kind of jams.
This is one of those albums you drive out to the middle of nowhere, crank it up, light one up, and just stare at the stars on the roof of your car …. Contemplating life, the universe, and existence.
'meaning of life jams'
then you find out most of their songs were inspired by a drunken night out
I fucking love you guys!! I love your reactions to Radiohead so much… please do more 🙏🏼 try “weird fishes”
Saw them in West Palm Beach and Dallas. Just friggin awesome.
Marcy Playground "Coming up from behind"....less known, but awesome!!! Down and dirty vibe.
If you all thought this was haunting wait till you get to "Climbing Up the Walls" and "Exit Music for a Film" off of this album!!! And after that you still have Pyramid Song and How to Disappear Completely to check out off their albums Kid A, and Amnesiac.
His voice is haunting
