Not to mention the seemingly endless number of EPs, various non-album singles, In Rainbows disk 2, and the mostly unreleased material on OK Computer OKNOTOK.
Yep, and the syncopations of the piano chords actually create a Pyramid (hence the name lol [also the lyrics hint at Pyramid through the death imagry]) 3,3,4,3,3
Only in the context of coming right after OK Computer, and expecting the same sound, were some fans confused. He's already heard most of their albums, it really shouldn't be "confusing", the music isn't THAT esoteric. Some people just don't like music with unconventional structures, hence the "basic" joke.
The thing is both Packt Like Sardines and Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors are really experimental. It’s not to do with the structures, it’s to do with the stuff that is heard in each part of the song. Packt Like Sardines has so many weird creepy sounds and distortion effects, and Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors doesn’t even have a melody. This stuff isn’t even found in Kid A.
I Might Be Wrong might be their most slept on song. When Colin’s bass kicks in, it takes the song to a different universe. Also, Like Spinning Plates live is just Thom on the Piano and it is completely different and better than the album version. Just a heads up.
The live version is beautiful. I do enjoy the soundscapes of the album version, but the live version is gorgeous and really makes me question why they didn't go with a more traditional version for the album as well.
Stevita Stamerov yeah I’d disagree there. The revelation of that soaring chorus in amongst the backwards music on the album version blew my tits off at the time and I’ll always appreciate it over the still gorgeous live version.
The piano chords are going in a pyramid shape. Higher, then lower. Makes it way cooler when you know that. Oop, you just said something about a swing beat as I was typing haha. Maybe you realized
Jack Prigge er no, OKC was their first album to have anything you could call experimental and even then it was just a bit. Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief are mostly experimental. In Rainbows not so much, TKOL half and half and MSP only a little.
*Nightwalk back during his OK Computer reaction* "Don't worry, this won't become a react channel." *Everyone since then* "ReAcT tO _____ AlBuM!!!!" NW: Am I a joke to you?
Dang man, too many people write this album off as a Kid A afterthought which is totally unfair to how creative and different this album is in terms of tone, composition, and in songwriting. I love this album way more than people say I should but ya just gotta tell the haters to back off lol (Also Pyramid Song is a freaking masterpiece)
@@joshxxi_ For me that track in particular sounds like something one would play in an attempt to bring back a long lost soul you once loved yet know deep down that if successful what comes back won't be the same. It's just an incredibly eerie atmosphere the track gives off.
My favorite Radiohead album. The dark atmosphere is just utterly gorgeous and sometimes frightening. Perfect from beginning to end, I even love Pulk/Pull.
@@emmamorris6577 Well it's definitely not that! That seems to be a slightly tenuous happenstance. They used to refer to it as "Egyptian Song" so it's likely just an evolution of that name.
OMG can't wait for part two.. and I want to request a reaction to a live version of "Like Spinning Plates" which is probably the weirdest song on the album but one of the most beautiful live songs :)
Glasshouse has always been one of my most disliked RH songs. I just looked at my play stats for Amnesiac and saw that I hadn't listened to just that song since 2007! I gave it a listen and it was actually pretty good :)
Curiously, Knives Out is my joint least favourite Radiohead track, the other being 15 steps, both make me feel...bilious. I'm not discounting the quality of either and as an avid fan I can only put it down to some sort of discomfort it places deep within me. To add context I fucking love Push/pull.
Ok I’m going to do this prediction: Knives Out: OMG 😱😱😱 Morning Bell: Dude... no... Dollars and Cents: 😴😴😴 Hunting Bears: wooooo guitars! Like Spinning Plates: WTF is it reversed? Life in a glass house: LOVE ❤️
Will he realise that Morning Bell is a different take of the song from Kid A? Even better, will someone inform him that Like Spinning Plates is actually an early version of I Will played in reverse?
Pulk/pull revolving doors is placed there just to f*ck you up, and oh man it does that. It could have been a silent hill song in that alternate reality you mentioned. Loved this video ❤️
It’s the biggest grower of any Radiohead album, and I think everyone can agree. First listen you think to yourself what the hell is this weird ass techno shit?? Then as time goes on you start liking more and more of the songs.. and then you find yourself head banging to push/pulk revolving doors at 3:00am like a moron. (True story)
Yeah I'm not a fan of Revolving Doors either. Feels like an endurance test anytime I listen to it. Like Spinning Plates however is some sort of transcendent otherworldly apparition that gives me chills every time
The funniest part of Pulk/Pull revolving doors is how it evoque several different emotions in the first listening. Strangeness, excitement, delightment, disappointment, anger, misunderstanding and acceptance in just one song
Amnesiac's weakest trait is it's track listing. It has some of my favorite Radiohead tracks but it's listing is really odd. I have a custom made Spotify playlist for the album and it's now one of my favorite albums.
Is your playlist similar to this?: 1. Packt 2. Amazing Sounds 3. Pyramid Song 4. Whose Army? 5. Knives Out 6. Might be Wrong 7. Dollars and Cents 8. Hunting bears 9. Spinning Plates 10. Glass house I can't tell you how many different tracklists I put together before finally arriving on this one.

That “Eureka!” moment you experience the first time you listen to Pyramid Song is unlike any other when the drums come in and your brain is like “No way, it was in swung 4/4 the whole time?!”
@@ACM1PT512 i dont know i mean yes hes not a great electronic music fan but there are too many songs in anima that full up with amazing melodies.He could love.Especially Down Chorus and Impossible Knots.
Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors clicked with me at some point, I found it stuck in my head despite the fact that I didn’t like it and there was no catchy melody (or melody at all), then after that I just started to love it. The soundscape is so entrancing somehow.
I'd highly recommend you listen to two beautiful solo tracks recently released by Thom Yorke: Unmade and Suspirium :) let's just say piano and Thoms voice are a good combo
I like even though you have your reservations about experimental music, you always keep an open mind. Like I said before, you're basically the only guy on all of TH-cam doing reactions to any Radiohead songs beside Creep and Karma Police, so you're really filling in a niche for Radiohead fans that's why these reaction videos are so popular
ACM1PT512 First off a beat is music weather it loops or not. Secondly Pulk Pull is not just a beat. There’s a looping drum part with an ever changing ambient soundscape.
I have no problem with electronic music, I actually listen to plenty, but it was a looped beat with ambient noises, which I didn't personally enjoy, glad you love it though :)
Once I was travelling on a coach, going home from work. I was listening to Amnesiac. The coach was full of people all chatting to each other quite loudly, and there was some music coming from the speakers. That background noise and the faraway music became one when I fell asleep during Pulk/Pull. It al became a weird dream where the song was going on forever and it sounded exactly like that: a coach trip with lots of chatter and distant music melted together.
Amnesiac is one of my favorite Radiohead albums and it's great seeing your reaction to it! My favorite songs are: Pyramid Song, I Might be Wrong, Knives Out, Like Spinning Plates and Life in a Glasshouse. Look forward to seeing yours
So happy you did this dude. Initially I though you might not enjoy this album as much, but I recently re-watched your RH reactions and I actually think you'll really dig this due to how creepy and piano based a lot of the tracks are.
Okay OMG! This may be hard for some of you to believe but I literally just looked this up 10 minutes ago to see if nightwalk reacted to this album yet and i literally just got a notification for it. Spooky...
I really enjoy all your videos, but these ones are always my favourite. One of my favourite things to do is to show friends music that I enjoy (like Radiohead) and see their reactions and vicariously re-experience discovering it - these videos feel like I'm sitting down with a friend and doing just that. Thank you.
Hello and welcome to my reaction comment! The notification for this made my day! Yay! My beloved, beautifully weird favorite album finally gets a spin! Probably unintended, but talking about how you "haven't forgotten" fans of an album called Amnesiac is a pretty great pun. Ok I'm gonna take notes and react to your reaction. First off, okay sure Packt is fairly laid-back. It's one of those ones that worms it's way into your head over time without you realising. What makes it great is very under the surface. It's a reasonable song, get off my case. You get a pass. Then your little speech about them redeeming themselves. When I realised Pyramid Song was about to play I gasped in delight - this was going to be a fun surprise to watch. And oh, there it is. My favorite song of all time. You got fascinated by the time signature like everyone does, but there's something more there - it's also one of their strongest live songs. There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt. Now I can't wait for your face experiencing Pulk. I do not think you will like this, lol.... .... okay that was hilarious. Yes, it's freaking weird. I laughed at your confusion. It's probably a lot more interesting for lovers of avant garde electronica. I really like listening to it while on the train, personally. You and whose army starts: ooh my I think he's going to love the ending. (So weird that you mentioned I Will at this point. Are you aware of the link with Like Spinning Plates, I wonder, and oh won't that be a fun listen) Those lines at the end are "we ride tonight, ghost horses" and no, nobody could ever pick that out from the record. It's a little clearer live. I did not expect you to groove to IMBW that much! That's cool. "It was Radiohead, but it was different" - and doesn't that just perfectly sum up the weirdness that is Amnesiac. I am tempted to go and count how many times you said "What the fuck?" All of those twists and turns are why I love it so much, and even almost two decades later, I'm still find new little rabbit holes to go down in all these songs. Can't wait for pt 2!
Fun fact: Pulk/Pull is a chopped up and remixed instrumental version of True Love Waits, originally recorded during OK Computer sessions. Radiohead, being as weird as they are, have included the isolated OKC True Love Waits electric piano track on their OKC 20th Anniversary Cassette tape. It's the same track that can be faintly heard in Pulk/Pull. Also, Thom's minidics have been leaked and they contain 18 hours of OK Computer recording sessions. There are two completely different versions of True Love Waits, one is an organic band version and the other one is a techno-inspired instrumental. Though they both are quite unremarkable and it's obvious why they waited 20 years to finally find a good arrangement for the song. Radiohead are fucking mad. No other band would have done something this weird and original.
This is tied for me with In Rainbows as my favorite. I Might be Wrong was the song that got me into Radiohead. I think Amnesiac has a really unique atmosphere through the whole album that makes it cohesive in such a cool way despite the different experimental/traditional back and forth that you mention. They still gel together with this dark, haunting disturbing tone that I love, while In Rainbows is kind of more of a collection of separate songs...but separate songs where every single one of them happen to be brilliant.
Amnesiac is a very extreme album. Stuff like Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors is nothing but a vignette/experiment, but then there's Pyramid Song, Life In A Glasshouse and other gems.
to all my fellow Radiohead fans on this common thread, I don't appreciate how Dollars and Cents is getting absolutely no love! Get your shit together peeps.
Ok, in case no one knows, Like Spinning Plates and I Will are the same song structurally, with Plates going backwards and Will going forwards. Thom wrote I Will, played it in reverse to himself, and then learned to play it that way. Slap on some new lyrics and it's a new song! I will is forward so it has positive lyrics, while Plates is backwards so it's lyrics are the opposite.
Since we're running out of possible Radiohead reactions: if you keep doing reaction vids, would you prefer more Radiohead-esque music, or something completely different?
Hurray, another reaction. There are some trap doors that you can’t come back from, and reactions are part of that hehe. I actually like Amnesiac more than Kid A. I find it to be more accessible.
Watching your reactions helps me to appreciate music more. I always seem to go back and re-listen to the albums you react to and I just enjoy it more! Thanks so much for making your videos they're some of my favorite.
Pull/pulk feels to me like some kind futuristic hospital where all the walls are white, the nurses are emotionless andriods and the lights bear down and cause a oppressive headache like the incessant beat. Like a lot of radiohead, too clean to be human, too dirty to be robotic
you know that scene in seinfeld where jerry and george are at the diner and jerry finally cracks and says, "what is this? what, what are we doing? our lives! what kind of lives are these??!!" that's me. i'm jerry.
You said something at the end of I might be wrong "It's was Radiohead.. but it's so different".. That right there sums up what listening to every new Radiohead album is like.
On the OKNOTOK white cassette from the OK Computer deluxe edition a couple of years ago there were some loops made for True Love Waits, one of which, surprisingly, we'd heard before - it comes in in the background on Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors, after 'there are barn doors'. With regard to the frequency of your Radiohead reaction videos, I want them to be when you feel like doing them and not a moment sooner.

It hurts how true that actually is
Ehh I feel like he’d like Anima. It’s pretty accessible
@@venom088 Twist? Runwayaway?
Nice pfp. I love arcade fire
I can’t wait for Like Spinning Plates!
Life in a glasshouse..
he won't like it
@Lisek Lodowy I know 😅
So happy you did this dude. Initially I though you might not enjoy this album as much, but I recently re-watched your RH reactions and I actually think you'll really dig this due to how creepy and piano based a lot of the tracks are.
"This could go in any direction."
Literally Radiohead!
Okay OMG! This may be hard for some of you to believe but I literally just looked this up 10 minutes ago to see if nightwalk reacted to this album yet and i literally just got a notification for it. Spooky...
SAME I've only checked yesterday lol
Just fyi "like spinning plates" is my favority RH song so you are contractually obligated to love it!
I like the why us version better
After years of waiting, SOMETHING CAME
Oh to be this young again and discover Radiohead :)
Can't wait to see your reaction to Life in a Glass House. That's one of my favorite Radiohead songs
What kind of sick man does this in 2 parts?
First song: Nightwalk Questions Radiohead’s Choices
Next song: Nightwalk Gets Excited While Naming Instruments
That 'little noodling' you hear in Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors is actually an early attempt at True Love Waits!
The King of Limbs and your training will be complete
I really enjoy all your videos, but these ones are always my favourite. One of my favourite things to do is to show friends music that I enjoy (like Radiohead) and see their reactions and vicariously re-experience discovering it - these videos feel like I'm sitting down with a friend and doing just that. Thank you.
lol watching someone try to figure out the time signature of Pyramid song gives me life.
Hello and welcome to my reaction comment!
The notification for this made my day! Yay! My beloved, beautifully weird favorite album finally gets a spin!
Probably unintended, but talking about how you "haven't forgotten" fans of an album called Amnesiac is a pretty great pun.
Ok I'm gonna take notes and react to your reaction. First off, okay sure Packt is fairly laid-back. It's one of those ones that worms it's way into your head over time without you realising. What makes it great is very under the surface. It's a reasonable song, get off my case. You get a pass.
Then your little speech about them redeeming themselves. When I realised Pyramid Song was about to play I gasped in delight - this was going to be a fun surprise to watch. And oh, there it is. My favorite song of all time. You got fascinated by the time signature like everyone does, but there's something more there - it's also one of their strongest live songs. There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt.
Now I can't wait for your face experiencing Pulk. I do not think you will like this, lol.... .... okay that was hilarious. Yes, it's freaking weird. I laughed at your confusion. It's probably a lot more interesting for lovers of avant garde electronica. I really like listening to it while on the train, personally.
You and whose army starts: ooh my I think he's going to love the ending. (So weird that you mentioned I Will at this point. Are you aware of the link with Like Spinning Plates, I wonder, and oh won't that be a fun listen)
Those lines at the end are "we ride tonight, ghost horses" and no, nobody could ever pick that out from the record. It's a little clearer live.
I did not expect you to groove to IMBW that much! That's cool.
"It was Radiohead, but it was different" - and doesn't that just perfectly sum up the weirdness that is Amnesiac.
I am tempted to go and count how many times you said "What the fuck?" All of those twists and turns are why I love it so much, and even almost two decades later, I'm still find new little rabbit holes to go down in all these songs. Can't wait for pt 2!
If real instruments is your thing, then oh boy are you in for a good time with life in a glass house
Fun fact: Pulk/Pull is a chopped up and remixed instrumental version of True Love Waits, originally recorded during OK Computer sessions. Radiohead, being as weird as they are, have included the isolated OKC True Love Waits electric piano track on their OKC 20th Anniversary Cassette tape. It's the same track that can be faintly heard in Pulk/Pull. Also, Thom's minidics have been leaked and they contain 18 hours of OK Computer recording sessions. There are two completely different versions of True Love Waits, one is an organic band version and the other one is a techno-inspired instrumental. Though they both are quite unremarkable and it's obvious why they waited 20 years to finally find a good arrangement for the song.
Radiohead are fucking mad. No other band would have done something this weird and original.
This is tied for me with In Rainbows as my favorite. I Might be Wrong was the song that got me into Radiohead. I think Amnesiac has a really unique atmosphere through the whole album that makes it cohesive in such a cool way despite the different experimental/traditional back and forth that you mention. They still gel together with this dark, haunting disturbing tone that I love, while In Rainbows is kind of more of a collection of separate songs...but separate songs where every single one of them happen to be brilliant.
After part 2 time for Live from the Basement
we're gonna need a boxer reaction
Amnesiac is a very extreme album. Stuff like Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors is nothing but a vignette/experiment, but then there's Pyramid Song, Life In A Glasshouse and other gems.
If you loved Pyramid Song, definitely check out Spectre
You and whose army and pyramid song just remind me of peaky blinders
Dude, You and Whose Army? is my favorite in this album.
Haha the part you couldn't understand in You And Whose Army? was the clearest to me upon first listen as a kid
"We ride tonight
Ghost horses"
to all my fellow Radiohead fans on this common thread, I don't appreciate how Dollars and Cents is getting absolutely no love! Get your shit together peeps.
There's a live version of I Might Be Wrong where Colin's bass is completely fucking insane
Ok, in case no one knows, Like Spinning Plates and I Will are the same song structurally, with Plates going backwards and Will going forwards.
Thom wrote I Will, played it in reverse to himself, and then learned to play it that way. Slap on some new lyrics and it's a new song!
I will is forward so it has positive lyrics, while Plates is backwards so it's lyrics are the opposite.
I Will is about civilians dying in war and Like Spinning Plates is about the soldiers
Since we're running out of possible Radiohead reactions: if you keep doing reaction vids, would you prefer more Radiohead-esque music, or something completely different?
I Might Be Wrong gets better every time you hear it. Best ending to a song...
Jul 1, 2019: That was alright and good sometimes
Jul 1, 2020: EVERYTHING SO AMAZING
Life in a glass house is incredible
but don't you mind that your neighbours can see you?
‘Experimental / traditional / experimental / traditional - the guitar is louder than his voice!’ MIND BLOWN IT HASNT BEEN DONE
Kid A will become your favorite Radiohead album. Promise
He already did a reaction about Kid A and it wasn't his favorite album.
Remember, he said “become”. Kid A is definitely a huge grower of a album
I can confidently say that I Might Be Wrong is my all time favourite Radiohead song.
When you do TKOL I very much recommend the from the basement version. It's far better imo, much more organic.
Hurray, another reaction. There are some trap doors that you can’t come back from, and reactions are part of that hehe.
I actually like Amnesiac more than Kid A. I find it to be more accessible.
They are both pretty accessible, but I think Amnesiac is more so.
Watching your reactions helps me to appreciate music more. I always seem to go back and re-listen to the albums you react to and I just enjoy it more! Thanks so much for making your videos they're some of my favorite.
I Might Be Wrong is like a hardcore western, cyberpunk dystopian song 👺👺
“Yay a real song!”
You watch your fuckin tongue
Pull/pulk feels to me like some kind futuristic hospital where all the walls are white, the nurses are emotionless andriods and the lights bear down and cause a oppressive headache like the incessant beat. Like a lot of radiohead, too clean to be human, too dirty to be robotic
you know that scene in seinfeld where jerry and george are at the diner and jerry finally cracks and says, "what is this? what, what are we doing? our lives! what kind of lives are these??!!" that's me. i'm jerry.
I can't wait till you hear Knives Out and Life In a Glass House
You said something at the end of I might be wrong "It's was Radiohead.. but it's so different".. That right there sums up what listening to every new Radiohead album is like.
I wonder how Nightwalk would react to Anima
"where are the REAL instruments?"
astorminrainbows Tru but there are some songs with real instruments, I'm just curious how Nightwalk would react to the sheer creativity in Anima
I didn’t care for “you and whose army” but then it opened up and added piano and I absolutely love it.
I might be wrong might be my favorite Radiohead song
On the OKNOTOK white cassette from the OK Computer deluxe edition a couple of years ago there were some loops made for True Love Waits, one of which, surprisingly, we'd heard before - it comes in in the background on Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors, after 'there are barn doors'.
With regard to the frequency of your Radiohead reaction videos, I want them to be when you feel like doing them and not a moment sooner.
I might be wrong is one of their best songs and it gets so much better in the live version. Highly recommended
