      no joke, it's probably the fifth (or more) time I watch this review and I wanted to see what tracks were missing as his favorites; so I count, "oh it's 7 of them, so Kid A is obviously missing, looks like he didn't put Treefingers either, I wonder what else is missing, maybe Morning Bell...? hm, no, doesn't seem like it" and after like 2 minutes I noticed it was How to Disappear Completely, so I immediatly go down to the comment section and, despite the small amount of likes, your comment rose to the top as the 2nd highest comment almost as if it was here to tell me "dude, the answer was right here, you didn't need to find it".
      so, the immediate thing that came to mind is that either he forgot or that he spoke about it so positively in the review that he didn't really need to add it to the favorites

    Except for Pablo Honey, something that have always caught my attention about Radiohead is how each one of their albums have an excellent artwork for cover. It doesn't only look nice, but each album cover fits perfectly for the music and theme of its own LP, and some if not the most of them could easily be pieces of art for a museum or gallery.
    And I'm not even that into the band.

      @ajpdeschenes 6 ปีที่แล้ว +132

      In his "Worst to Best" video, he ranked Amnesiac #7 and OK Computer #1. I think he is like me and many fans, I love OK Computer and think it his one of the best albums ever, but I tend to listen to Amnesiac more often, for tracks like Pyramid Song, I Might Be Wrong and Life in A Glasshouse! The years between Kid A and Amnesiac were very exciting, as Radiohead seemed to just open new possibilities of music.
      And I would say the excitement kept high until In Rainbows, and then dropped with King of Limbs. A Moon Shaped Pool was a kind of very good surprise, less expected but now I consider it one of my favorite Radiohead's albums.

    I always thought of "Optimistic" as being sarcastic lyrically. That's why lyrics like "you can try the best you can, the best you can is good enough" is put over such moody, unsettling music. The tone points out the disingenuous nature of the words.

    One of my favorite things about this album is the amount of replayability it has. There's tons of shit going on in every track that aren't immediately evident upon the first few listens (I.E. after the first verse on The National Anthem, you can hear Thom warbling if you listen closely; or on the second chorus of In Limbo, there's this fuzzy guitar moving from channel to channel).
    Great review Anthony. Love this album.

      even then i think every track in this album is absolutely fantastic and there is not a single song that's just "good" and nothing more.

    In Limbo is one of my favorite Radiohead songs ever, and it sucks because it’s barely mentioned when Kid A is brought up. It’s so dream-like and hypnotic that whenever I listen to it I Immediately start to space out and just let the music surround me. It’s one of the few songs that can make me feel that way and I think it’s amazing.

    Okay man, solid review, but seriously.... you did not give How to Disappear COmpletely the attention that it deserves. Not only does that song stand alone as the untouchable Radiohead song, it dwells so high above the collective musical outpouring of human beings since the dawn of time that it knows no shadow. That song is like a soft wave of total obliteration. It embodies the universal thread of unfiltered emotion, it is entirely pure and serves as the vehicle for empathetic catharsis, more so than any other song of which I have experienced. If music is the organization and projection of sound in order evocate deeply profound paradigm and emotion, no other song competes. You fucking tossed it off to the side man, just tossed it off.

      crapscoot First off, you are entirely correct, everything I said was overly pretentious and outlandishly exaggerated. However, the exaggeration was based off a truth of which in actuality is far less pretentious. The truth is How to Disappear is a song that I personally resonate with and I feel it's one of Radiohead's most noteworthy contributions. I am surprised that Anthony did not elaborate on this track, I went into into this video expecting him to use overly indulgent adjectives to describe how special this song truly is. I was left rather disappointed when he did not credit How to Disappear nearly as much as I feel it should be credited. However, art is beautiful because it's subjective. None of what I am saying holds any sustainable truth, it is merely how I feel. I think the track is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard during my 26 years on this Earth and you feel as though it's not that deep. Well my friend, isn't that awesome? Perspective is the spice of life.

    Radiohead's experimentation takes place before anything is committed to the final product. I think that is considerate of them. It contrasts with the philosophy of bands like, say, The Mars Volta, who can sometimes be hard to listen to (although I am a fan of several of their albums), and seem to experiment on the listener's time, rather than experimenting in the studio, seeing what works, and then committing that to the final product. Instead of subjecting the listener to a bunch of "noise" that may or may not actually "work", they are able to create innovative compositions before releasing an album, and showing the world what they were able to formulate. So I would sort of disagree with anyone who says they aren't all that experimental. That's not really the case. The case seems to be more that they don't force the listener to, for better or worse, go on the experimental part of their journey with them. They show us what worked from the experimental journey they went on.

    i guess i never heard this album as depressed because i can never make out the lyrics. i always heard it as, like you said, emotionally potent, and definitely abstract, very open to all types of interpretations. which is great for the listener, and probably why it is so popular to this day.

    Fun trivia: Amnesiac was recorded in the same sessions as Kid A and the only reason they weren’t released together as a double album is that they worried it would be too much and not go over well. I always find it funny that people never review both albums as if they were one.

    Anthony thank you, I watch your stuff very frequently. I just remember having a very very hard home life growing up... That transitioned into needing to leave my house for the night bc (dad etc) and i walked through the pouring rain 4 miles to the local record shop to grab this at midnight for the debut release of this album. This review reminded me of the happiest I had been in years while I walked home listening to it completely drenched.
    Things are much better now and clearly that was a long long time ago but you reminded me that life is hard but moments of joy can be found between such hard and completely powerless situations. I smiled and cried at the same time as I watched you go through the same emotions the entire night had for me.
    Sitting on a bench... pouring rain... still loving life :). Thanks again.

    I really don’t get the distaste for Radiohead’s early work. I mean, yeah, it was way less abstract and experimental, way more straight forward alt rock....but it was still a really good example of that style. For my money, their early work is still really solid.

    • @augusts1
      @augusts1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it's the fact that those albums sound very dated now imo. Whereas from Kid A on sounds more timeless. I think a lot (not all) of their fans are into more experimental/challenging music & their early work, although great, shows them growing & progressing into who they've now become.
      Last time I listened to OK Computer ( a VERY long time ago) I was rather disappointed in how dated it sounded to me. Then again Amnesiac is my favorite of theirs but I love the all over the place experimentalnesss of it w/Hail To The Thief as my 2nd fave & Kid A after. Don't get me wrong, I love their early stuff too but I find I'm just not drawn to listen to it as much as their later albums.

    Seeing some hate towards fans of Kid A, calling us "Hipsters". So dumb, the hipster idea wasn't around when this album dropped in 01'.
    We're not all hipsters. Some of us enjoy ambience, IDM and rock in an album. Its appeal is towards fans of the sub genres, organised by Radiohead's folky, art rock, ballad, post punk sound. From a musician point of view, the creativity is incredible. They seriously jumped from OK Computer to Kid A. They knew they'd alienate some listeners with its composition and soundscapes, not giving a fuck about how people would respond. Doing this knowing continuing the sound of The Bends and OK Computer would create a doorway into the mainstream. Something the band didn't want to do. Imagine it. Not selling out your creativity for a dollar. And still being influential on a new generation of bands.
    I personally see albums like Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief, as albums they explored to new areas. The style was later refined in In Rainbows and King of Limbs.

  • @tss3393
    @tss3393 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It's taken me a while for me to wrap my head around Radiohead's experimentation. But I feel like I get it now, and I've come up with a bit of an interpretation for OK Computer and Kid A. They feel like companion pieces to each other, with OK Computer anticipating a big change to come (perhaps the shift from the late 90's into the new millennium) and Kid A reacting to the change once it happens. OK Computer carries a lot of themes and lyrics of anxiety and paranoia, and uses every technique Radiohead was familiar with at that point to prepare itself for plunging into the great unknown. Kid A on the other hand is where Radiohead totally reinvented themselves. They plunged into a brave new world and explored the alienation one may feel from everything changing into something so far removed from what you know. But they came out on the other side not just realizing the necessity of adapting to an ever-changing world, but how important it is to retain who you are at heart as you do it. That's what it means to truly evolve.
