True love waits was first played in ‘95 and then made it to their 2001 live album which is an accoustic version. Beautiful song with a beautiful journey.
The last 30 seconds of True Love Waits is almost completely silent, which might seem like nothing, but it gives the listener a half a minute to sit back and try to digest the emotion. It was rated their saddest song.
It's a song that you listen to the first few times and just go..meh. Then suddenly one day you're listening to the album and when you least expect it Tinker tailor soldier sailor seems like one of the most beautiful songs on earth. I can't explain it, it's just amazing.
I think you'd really like Amnesiac-- It's probably their "scariest" and most unsettling album, but it's absolutely incredible. Pyramid Song, You and Whose Army, Life in a Glasshouse... absolutely amazing album. My favorite right after The Bends.
Polarchill that video made me love the song so much more than just listening to the album version. Thoms voice is more... personal sounding, and the guitars really shine.
The album is a lot more personal lyrically, a number of songs deal with Thom Yorke's separation from his wife, who then died from cancer only months later The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow has to be the most similar album to AMSP that i've heard, with the big exception that it's more positive lyrically and warm instrumentally
A moon shaped pool depicts astoundingly good the beautiful side of sadness. When youre sad is also when your more intricate, thoughtful and even, id say, is when youre the purest, because this emotion removes the filters we often have sorrounding life and mundane situations. In that moment we are in the perfect present tense, just there, and anywhere else.
I tried to do my personal Radiohead's album ranking but then i realised that maybe it is not even possible, because it would be like to decide which emotion is better than another one, you can't really do that, because they are part of you and make you who you are. Sorry for my english and salutes from italy.
Marcio Couto I think it’s singularly the most beautiful single thing they’ve made. Not their best song - but the most beautiful in terms of sound design...
1) Listen to the 1995 version of True Love Waits. It's as different as possible from the 2016 version. 2) Listen to the 2012 version of Identikit, it's also quite different.
The Numbers is so Meddle-era Pink Floyd and I love it for that! Some people find the lyrics corny and cheesy, and that's why they don't like it, but I disagree honestly. Present Tense is so beautiful and has a great groove. Have you heard Steven Wilson, man? Because I feel you might like some of his work, specially Hand. Cannot. Erase. and To The Bone. Great reaction!
Radiohead is that one band I keep coming back to just because of how lonely it makes me feel, and sometimes, we all just need to feel lonely. Keeps us sane! :)
I hope they don't do another, Thom's voice is dying and the band is suffering from "where do we go from here" syndrome where they've already travelled every road appropriate for their type of music.
Amnesiac and Atoms for Peace are really good choices for the next "radiohead universe" reactions. Atoms for Peace is another band of Thom Yorke, together with Flea (from Red Hot Chili Peppers), Nigel Godrich (radiohead producer), Mauro Refosco (used to be RHCP's percussionist) and Joey Waronker (from Beck/R.E.M).
Staircase is my favorite of the 4 and I wish it was on the core album. Supercollider is too long and Daily Mail just doesn't quite fit stylistically, so I can understand those ones not making it, but Staircase is just so groovy.
The original arrangement of True Love Waits is so much more melodically rich and I prefer it far more to the more abstract, stripped down version on this album. I like the new version, but it can't usurp the great original.
@@reactions5783 They both fill two different roles which is why I love them both. The acoustic was written when he was starting a relationship with Rachel. The atmosphere feels much more like a blossoming relationship and love with some fear and doubt. The AMSP version was recorded 20 years later after she passed away from cancer (and after their very recent divorce) and feels like a memoriam.
All of Arcade Fire is equally amazing if you ask me. Starting to become one of my all time favorite bands besides Radiohead (whom have been my favorite for at least ten years now).
Holy shit, I've never heared of this group, just gave them a listen and I'm completely in love. Thank you! I feel like I just rediscovered Radiohead lol
@@Injektilo amnesiac, hail to the theif and the king of limbs are like my top three. And I know I'm in a tiny minority there but I just love them. Perhaps more than I should
A Moon shaped Pool is one of Radioheads best Albums IMO You sould check out the acustic version of Present Tense. Its on TH-cam. Its just Thom, Jonny Greenwood and a drum mashine, sitting at a campfire, filmed by Paul Thomas Anderson.
Glass Eyes is my favorite song of the album and one of my favorites from their entire catalog. It's so sincere and vulnerable, which is unexpected from Thom.
This album feels the same for me...it's really sad but so so beautifully executed! It's like looking at a beautiful classical painting where the subject matter is sad but the rendering is so perfect and sublime that it leaves you in awe instead of bummed out. (I'm a visual artist so that's the best analogy I could find 😅) anyways, it's a stunning album! Saw them on that tour 2 years ago and it was mesmerizing ❤
You need to react to Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen: We Are Floating In Space! Loving you content so far and how you've branched out into more and more avant garde spaces in rock...and this album is a MUST for you, especially now that you've worked your way up to it by going through Radiohead's discography. Its legitimately one of the best albums I've ever heard, and you can draw a lot of parallels between it, Radiohead, and Muse's work...but even more ambitious and emotionally raw. It famously won NME's Album Of The Year Award in 1997, beating out OK Computer (so you know it's good)....so yeah...love your content...you need to get on that album!
True love waits is Radiohead’s best song in my opinion. And if you like the numbers, try looking it up on TH-cam and find the Outdoor version with just thom and Johnny
This album is so beautiful and it always gets me emotional as I think about what they went through during the process of recording AMSP. Also there's quite some 'old' material used in here, and people who love the early versions of some songs had all sorts of reactions to the final studio versions. For instance, Identikit was definitely one of my favorite Radiohead songs since the first time they played it out of nowhere in the first concert of the 2012 tour. And as time passed by, it had gown even more in me. I anxiously waited for 4 yeas for the studio version and the first time I heard it I was like 'WTF is happening here????'. But I learned to love it again and it still is one of my favorite from the band (+ I saw it live last year and OH MY GOD it's like my soul was washed away and a brand new one was put into place
If you are doing either blurs self titled album or 13 (strongly recommend both, but probs should start with the self titled one as it sets up for 13) here are the notable songs Self titled: Beetlebum, Song 2, On Your Own, Strange News From Another Star. 13: Tender (overrated in my opinion but still is good), Coffee and TV, Battle, No Distance Left to Run. Blur is a really great band but it takes a bit to get into them but I hope you do these albums for a reaction
Also 13 gets really weird and funky and that’s where I stress that you listen to it a couple times after to appreciate it. It took me a like 2 more listens to appreciate the noise and complexity of it
Blur isn’t as popular in the US as it is in the U.K. so even if less people like this comment it would be good to expose your audience to new music. Thanks
I hope you will listen to Radiohead's B-sides in the future. Some of my fav Radiohead songs are b-sides, eg The Butcher, Talk Show Host and 4 Minute Warning.
You should do some Car Seat Headrest and LCD Soundsystem. And ive heard a few requests for Turn on the Bright Lights by Interpol and I gotta agree on that, it another amazing album. Thanks so much for another amazing reaction.
Depends how much you're bothered by the likeness to Stairway to Heaven. Same chord progression as 2min into stairway to heaven. Not the most on-trend track.
I think people mainly dislike it because of the “The numbers don’t decide, your system is a lie”-line. It’s extremely corny, almost Muse-like. Left a bad taste in some Radiohead fans’ mouth.
The pianos are done by Jonny, who has a classical training. He also arranged the strings. The pianos sound very different from other Radiohead songs, where Thom was playing. He is self taught and his playing is more based on chords.
This is my favorite Radiohead album for sure. It’s deeply personal and haunting. You should look into what the record is about, it makes the listening experience way more brutal
He's back! Buttering all of our biscuits. Please react to Keane's Under the Iron Sea. If not the whole album "Is It Any Wonder" "Atlantic" and "Broken Toy" are the best pics. They are similar to Muse in a few ways and are returning with a new album later this year!
You should check the old version of True love waits (live version), the b-side, ill wind, and the "acoustic" versions of the numbers and present tense!
If you ever do listen to The King Of Limbs, listen to the live from the basement version, it is more enjoyable imo. Also don’t skip The Bends, a lot of great songs on it. It’s much more Raw and energetic
The journey's just begun! Please do Amnesiac next :) It's a follow-up to Kid A (that should've been a double album with songs from Amnesiac). I hope that will change your opinion on Kid A :D
His wife of more than 2 decades was dying of cancer while he wrote these songs. They had 2 teenage kids together. She's dead now, she died in 2016. It's sad. Poor guy.
Have you heard much music by Nine Inch Nails? Because if not I would definitely recommend checking them out, their music has gotten progressively more experimental over the years but really every one of Trent Reznor’s albums is unique and interesting to hear. If you ever end up doing this I’d start with The Downward Spiral, since that’s definitely their most critically acclaimed album and it’s honestly just amazing
Tinker Tailor etc is a grower. It was originally one of the 2 songs on the album that weren't "winners" to me, along with Desert Island Disk. But now I look forward to it every time. The extended outro is super-duper good. And the sound palette of the whole song is incredibly interesting.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH EVERYBODY THATS ASKING YOU TO WATCH THE 95 VERSION OF TRUE LOVE WAITS! it's ironic because I remember waiting hours to get that video loaded on old school internet so I could watch it....only to have someone pick up the phone and mess up the load....but i "waited" very special performance! Say it with me old school fans "this is a...this is a brand..new..song...nobody's heard before".....this version is like hearing his amazingly vulnerable voice from back then sampled over everything they are now....LOVE IT.
Really liked how you were really quick to this and how calming it was. For the next album, I’d love to see you do “Turn on the bright lights” by Interpol, “Lullabies to Paralyze” by Queens Of The Stone Age, “Demon Days” by the Gorillaz, “Welcome to Sky Valley” by Kyuss or “The Downward Spiral” by Nine Inch Nails.
Great job! Just wanted to add to the crowd -- you should try Amnesiac next! It's very experimental, opened me wide up to IDM music way back when. Knives Out is great
The most emotional part about Present Tense is that he's trying to remind himself to stay in the present. When faced with loss this is the most difficult prospect. It's like your legs are taken out from under you when you lose someone and you have no grounding. You try to pay tribute to your feelings, your memories. He has to keep moving, the music carries him through. He's trying to find the redeeming qualities in the loss as devastating as it may be. He's still lost in her no matter what he does, but he's trying to let go. This song nails the grief process and all the conflicting yet sublime feelings.
I don’t know if I’m more excited for your reaction to Amnesiac or TKOL. I know you will love The Bends and I think you will be pleasantly surprised by TKOL.
True Love Waits is a pretty old song of them but their best version imo is their original acoustic solo live in Oslo which was put in the live amnesiac album. Check it out as well considering how you did like the song
The king of limbs is a weird listen, I would recommend listening to the from the basement version after listening to the actual album. Many (including me) changed their opinion on the album after listening to it!
Wow felt like I was listening again for the first time. This guy did a terrific job, loved his commentary. I share his exact thoughts on everything except True Loves Waits! That one never got there for me
The Numbers was the song that caught my attention the most when i first heard the album. Still my favourite, followed by Present Tense, and Decks Dark. The entire album is so good. Great reaction.
True love waits was first played in ‘95 and then made it to their 2001 live album which is an accoustic version. Beautiful song with a beautiful journey.
the 2001 version is perfect
I had no idea🤭 I feel so young lol I’m glad they finally added the song to an album.
Found you again Lugna
The story of this song its very sad... 2001 means thom get drown his belives to marry... 2016 say goodbye to her. She die by cáncer.
And then they did a band version
The last 30 seconds of True Love Waits is almost completely silent, which might seem like nothing, but it gives the listener a half a minute to sit back and try to digest the emotion. It was rated their saddest song.
That ain't their saddest song...
Right? :'(
Marzum GReduxZ
Yes it is.
@@NoCokeOnlyIce His wife dying mixed with the line "Just don't leave" is heartbreaking, isn't it?
hjplant I was replying to to marzum who was questioning whether this song was the saddest. And yes it is the saddest song from Radiohead’s discography
Dig your profile pic.
Present Tense has a Bossa Nova rithm, from Brazil :)
Then you should listen to ¨ill wind¨, it's even clearer in that song
Probably Ed's influence 😏
*Samba rhythm, as Bossa Nova rhythm structures come from Samba :)
"Present tense" is how I imagine Radiohead walking through the samba saturated streets of old Salvador do Bahía...
Listen to Spectre and Ill Wind, perfectly fit to this album
Keeep your distance!
Then no harm will come!
I'll be honest: Ill wind is the best song that came out of the AMSP era. Don't @ me.
And Harry patch. I know it was released in 2009, but they made it widely available with this album in 2016 so I consider it a B-side from this album
@@mrflibble1259 harry patch fit so good with these b-sides
Him and Thom say “shine” at the same time 6:02
This is literally what I needed right now. I want no bad comments on Present Tense.
Edit: YEY! You loved Present Tense :D I can now die in peace
He should listen to the live version(with Jonny) song is just beautiful..
I don't think it's possible for anyone to dislike that song. It's just instantly likeable.

But I'm afraid of wild suit-man cult usually found in suburbs.

ActuallyDavid I’d love to see his face whilst listening to pulk/pull lmao
Knives Out ffs ! it's the best song.
yet underrated
I totally agree, it's certainly the darkest album of Radiohead: Like Spinning Plates, I Might Be Wrong, Knives Out, You and Whose Army...
Present Tense was solidified as my favorite after seeing the video with Thom, Johnny, and a CR78... absolutely beautiful
Polarchill that video made me love the song so much more than just listening to the album version. Thoms voice is more... personal sounding, and the guitars really shine.
“buttered my biscuit” I guffawed

I love Glass Eyes so much. And is probably the most underrated song from AMSP.
By the way, now it's time for some The Bends. Dont you think?

Thank you so much for doing this ^-^
Dude, your analysis are amazing. RH level of detail. Congratulations. You are the RH of reacting to RH.
If you ever do listen to The King Of Limbs, listen to the live from the basement version, it is more enjoyable imo. Also don’t skip The Bends, a lot of great songs on it. It’s much more Raw and energetic
Rmart 76 I think he should react to both versions, TKOL is very short so he could do the whole album version in one video.
The journey's just begun! Please do Amnesiac next :) It's a follow-up to Kid A (that should've been a double album with songs from Amnesiac). I hope that will change your opinion on Kid A :D
His wife of more than 2 decades was dying of cancer while he wrote these songs. They had 2 teenage kids together. She's dead now, she died in 2016. It's sad. Poor guy.
PLEASE REACT TO MEZZANINE BY MASSIVE ATTACK! that album is amazing!
yes please!!!!
Fantastic vid yet again dude! Was wondering how you mix these vids? What are you using to capture your voice and the audio? Keep it up :)
Glass Eyes is so good and underrated, I'm glad you liked it
Present Tense is my favorite on the album but I love the whole thing
You better love ''Bloom'' from The King of Limbs
Have you heard much music by Nine Inch Nails? Because if not I would definitely recommend checking them out, their music has gotten progressively more experimental over the years but really every one of Trent Reznor’s albums is unique and interesting to hear. If you ever end up doing this I’d start with The Downward Spiral, since that’s definitely their most critically acclaimed album and it’s honestly just amazing
You have the same top 2 albums as me i’m no longer alone
For me this album is top of my Radiohead pile sonically. True brilliance. Most sad but breathtaking end ever. Just great
The King of Limbs now!! It's my favorite album but i'm sure you'll hate it, it's their least accessible one.
A Moon Shaped Pool also known as Beautiful Suffering
Tinker Tailor etc is a grower. It was originally one of the 2 songs on the album that weren't "winners" to me, along with Desert Island Disk. But now I look forward to it every time. The extended outro is super-duper good. And the sound palette of the whole song is incredibly interesting.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH EVERYBODY THATS ASKING YOU TO WATCH THE 95 VERSION OF TRUE LOVE WAITS! it's ironic because I remember waiting hours to get that video loaded on old school internet so I could watch it....only to have someone pick up the phone and mess up the load....but i "waited" very special performance! Say it with me old school fans "this is a...this is a brand..new..song...nobody's heard before".....this version is like hearing his amazingly vulnerable voice from back then sampled over everything they are now....LOVE IT.
Boy that was fast
I just need an audio clip of you saying "really buttered my biscuits" on loop
Saint Rodriguez 😂😂❤️
The strings in the numbers are insane
Really liked how you were really quick to this and how calming it was. For the next album, I’d love to see you do “Turn on the bright lights” by Interpol, “Lullabies to Paralyze” by Queens Of The Stone Age, “Demon Days” by the Gorillaz, “Welcome to Sky Valley” by Kyuss or “The Downward Spiral” by Nine Inch Nails.
Great job! Just wanted to add to the crowd -- you should try Amnesiac next! It's very experimental, opened me wide up to IDM music way back when. Knives Out is great
Amazing review!
I recommend Turn on the Bright Lights by Interpol
Yea, you inspired me to spin this record again. Absolutely gorgeous album.
The most emotional part about Present Tense is that he's trying to remind himself to stay in the present. When faced with loss this is the most difficult prospect. It's like your legs are taken out from under you when you lose someone and you have no grounding. You try to pay tribute to your feelings, your memories. He has to keep moving, the music carries him through. He's trying to find the redeeming qualities in the loss as devastating as it may be. He's still lost in her no matter what he does, but he's trying to let go. This song nails the grief process and all the conflicting yet sublime feelings.
Already? Dam boi he did it again!
I don’t know if I’m more excited for your reaction to Amnesiac or TKOL. I know you will love The Bends and I think you will be pleasantly surprised by TKOL.
Your cat in the video's is like the percussion in radiohead songs. Purrfect
True Love Waits is a pretty old song of them but their best version imo is their original acoustic solo live in Oslo which was put in the live amnesiac album. Check it out as well considering how you did like the song
The king of limbs is a weird listen, I would recommend listening to the from the basement version after listening to the actual album. Many (including me) changed their opinion on the album after listening to it!
Wow felt like I was listening again for the first time. This guy did a terrific job, loved his commentary. I share his exact thoughts on everything except True Loves Waits! That one never got there for me
Didn't realize "numbers" ywas decisive. It's one of my favorites on the album
The Numbers was the song that caught my attention the most when i first heard the album. Still my favourite, followed by Present Tense, and Decks Dark. The entire album is so good. Great reaction.
Turn on the bright lights by Interpol
