I never gave "In Rainbows" that much of a chance. I had nothing against it but was too busy listening to other stuff. (Then again I was four years to the party on the excellent "The Bends".. saw the video for "Paranoid Android" and I was a fan for life, having gotten that in 1997)
The Bends is Spring (a new dawn, acustomization). Ok Computer is Autumn (Layered and varied as fallen fall leaves). Kid A is Winter (descending melodies deeper into darker depths, iced by beauty). In Rainbows is Summer (road songs sun-kissed to perfection) . At least to me.
Kid A: a depression put into music perfectly without even talking about depression. It's the feeling, the vibe you get from it that makes it so powerful and depressing but also beautiful and hopeful in a way by showing that you're not struggling alone and that you can rise from your own ashes by just saying fuck it and being who you really are
When I first listened to Radiohead's Kid A. It was a journey, so beautifully made, having excitement and calm all rolled into one. It was such a trip listening to the calm first 3 tracks then go into the "in your face" "The National Anthem. And the rest of the album was equally rewarding. Thanks for this vid!
For me what made me love Kid A was the unsettling atmosphere, making me go out of my comfort zone. “Art is meant to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed”
@@Humannbeing Compare the level of complexity between Kid A and The Bends. The Bends is much more accessible for people who are not that familiar with more "experimental" music, while Kid A has a lot of features that someone who is not that open-minded would find weird. For example the vocals on the track "Kid A".
@@NotAParanoidAndroid i just don’t see that - Kid A isn’t experimental; for example i will link you a song released in 1979 by throbbing Gristle as part of an album called ‘20 Jazz Funk Greats’ (the name and album cover are deliberately normal sounding to shock the listener who is not expecting an experimental sound) I guess Kid A is somewhat not normal but in the most minimal way possible - I guess its got quite a minimalistic kind of feeling to it but regardless its retains being open for anyone to listen to as it isn’t in the slightest bit challenging (which of corse isn’t inherently bad)
I downloaded Kid A on my ipod in like 2015 and it was during an uncomfortable time of my life. I didn't find the album to be uncomfortable or disturbing. It really comforted me
KID A was the album where Radiohead really shifted through the gears of what it's like to be a rock band in the 21s century. And to say to Brit Pop "right thats over" The greatest 00s album of all time it's turned out to be.
@@MuBumaneMusic In Rainbows is, in my opinion, a large collection of incredible songs, while Kid A is one large musical experiment. That’s just how I experienced it at least. I appreciate both albums greatly, but I don’t think we can compare them as much as we want to. They have different intentions and different musical motives.
I've been getting into Radiohead more lately (for the 2nd or 3rd time). The way I absorb music is listening to an album over and over again. These past weeks I've been listening to more Kid A again, thanks for the video.
Oh my god!!! Let alone the best album ever created by humans... This video features some great editing and music. It is clear how much effort you have put in making this video. Thanks a lot and good wishes.
Awesome video, great editing and videowork. The camera segments are just pleasant to look at, like even if you were speaking a foreign language it would be entertaining.
One of your best videos in my opinion. I feel like some of your videos are a bit off in someway compared to other video essayists and I can't explain it but I still watch your videos because they're on topics related to my interests and are well made. I can tell you work very hard on them and you're passionate about your content. Overall I like your channel and I wish I could offer more constructive criticism instead of just "something is off", but i will say that I think whatever it is, you fixed it with this video. Keep up the great work and the hustle and I'll keep watching :)
Kid A was jarring, cracked the door but damn it sunk in where Ok left off. Amnesiac that followed took years of unease and beauty. I kept having to Stop. Start. Stop and age into it like I’ve never had with an album. I don’t know what it’s about, only how I feel when I listen to it. It use to scare me, now it’s comforting. I first heard OK Computer on the way to an 11th Daydream concert at the Double Door in 97’ -I was stopped in my shoes. My life was unraveling as I was getting the first onset of a disease that would shape the next 25 years of my life to this day. I just got my first vaccine shot. It has nearly put me under. What a trip....fight to live another day and play the perfect chord.
“How to disappear completely” was really a song that came out about what Michael Stipe told Thom once. Thom asked him how do you keep going out on stage and Stipe said he tells himself “I’m not here…this isn’t happening.”
A lot of people say Kid A is cold and distant. I never really got that from it, though it did take me the longest to come around on in their catalogue, so maybe there’s something to that.
everyone really loves Kid A but personally it never scratched that "itch" for me... idk maybe i listened to it wrong, but in rainbows is my favorite they've made. Maybe i listened to Kid A late and now it just sounds sort of "normal" for me because its aged so well, im definitely open to discussion
Same tbh, I like In Rainbows and OK Computer, and How To Disappear Completely is a masterpiece but I never understood the love for the album. I wish I could hear it for the first time again.
How Ben Howard's music developed, how he dissapeared from the popular music charts, how his music transformed people, the differences in messages along albums
THanks for sharing - I recently did an analysis of music from 1950-Current, This time period in 2000 marked a major shift in music - almost all top singles are sampled based or electronic. For this album, Radiohead really broke apart the 'rules' of rock music and electronic music. To me it feels like later Classical and Jazz eras where we go from melodic and chord driven music to total avant-garde. This is where the tide turns and the next 20 years that follow we see a crippled music industry with the introduction of piracy/streaming services and Clear Channel controlled radio playlists - This new ere of corporate music lack talents and substance and most singles have a staying power of months, if not weeks - nothing anyone wants to listen to 10-30 years later like music from 50s-90s. What Comes after post-modernism in music? Meta-Modernism?
God. I was 20 when Kid A came out. Really all the perspective you need is in their film “meeting people is easy,” which is a Grant Gee film that covers the OKC tour. That movie shows the truth better than any online blog speculation. Hell there’s a scene with Thom Johnny and Ed backstage and Thom is ardently trying to break up the band. “I just think we should get out while the getting’s good.” That film is incredible. Hell I would say to watch it just to see the amazing crazy version of Big Boots, (not Man Of War which was recorded during the bends era).
"A mashup of melodic experimental rock, electronica and alien jazz, it (Kid A) felt like a piece of space debris that had fallen from the sky, tangible...but unrecognizable." -Vice, 2020
What kind of camera did you use to film yourself in this video? Looking to take my content to the next level and I like the look you've achieved. This video is really well done, and as a content creator myself I know what kind of work goes into making a good video, more than some people realize. I sincerely appreciate what you made here. My favorite band, and the first album I ever listened to of theirs in full.
12:38 What He Say There Is Very True Right You Life Is A scam Whole Time Sometime You Like Things Or Love it Or Go to Palaces You Love it And Traveling But Sometime Is Hard to Do There is Consequences And Problem Sometime that You Cannot get more of it That Is True There Man I Feel That The Same Here Man That Why I Love this Type of People All Lot Man
Obviously Thom and the band have gone to the point of being famous rock stars leading them to their new perspective to write Kid A, I think Thom would have still written an album similar or exact to Kid A even if he never made it that big, he must have had that perspective all along due to his past records about society in general, and would have changed his sound either way not just to make a statement, but because him and the band are too curious and creative musicians
To anyone wondering what the first song is, shazam says it's Thoughts - Mohdlutfii, but I can't listen to it because it's unavailable for me so I don't know Edit: nevermind they all come from redMOSK
The band missed a huge opportunity to release a 20th anniversary edition of KID A with bonus tracks. The OK COMPUTER 20th set was so well done. I wonder why they didn't celebrate Kid A the same way?
@@ethanhester2603 I love the b-sides from Amnesiac they might be my favorite of all their b-sides which is saying a lot because they have a lot of them more than any band I ever listened to.

I go through different seasons of listening to Radiohead and which album is my favorite. Right now it's In Rainbows. This was an excellent video.
Mine too, it's such a journey

To me, OK Computer and Kid A came from some time travelers that just landed out of nowhere. They are a piece to me.

Really sucks when people try to deny or ignore the politics in their favorite music. I love the messages of Kid A and much of Radiohead’s work

Yeah in rainbows is easily the best radiohead album, banger after banger. Id recommend you you listen to Kid A with good headphones on a long drive
@@arch_dornan6066 I will definitely do that
Yup kid A is nigel Godrich masterpiece. Needs stereo speakers or good headphones to fully appreciate.
