This is so weird, instead of comments saying "review this melon head, review that" we have "do a guide to that, to a guide this". Nothing changes, no matter the music channel.

How to Disappear Completely is such an incredible track. I fell in love with it the moment I heard it - sitting on the back of a bus on release day with a portable CD player while on a Geography field trip to some shithole,

[@ripplebear]

I did the same thing on field trips in elementary school.. except with a walkman. I felt so cool. Not for the fact that I was listening to music, but that I was smart enough to make better use of our time :)

19:56 "Kid A is my winter record" So true! I also feel a lot of records are particularly suited to a certain season, e.g. Sufjan Stevens' Illinois feels very spring-y to me.

[@BrianSmith-vl7xu]

I've always found Kid A and Amnesiac tie together quite nicely in the same way Bowie's Low and Heroes do.

[@jmacdono]

I totally agree with your need to take time to absorb their albums. My youngest brother introduced me to Radiohead in 2002/2003 (I think) with a compilation CD that started out with songs that he felt I would immediately like and then more of their experimental works. I already knew about but largely disliked 'Creep' from Pablo Honey, and didn't really know anything else from them. The CD he made me (which he entitled "I Could Have Sworn I Saw...") I gave a listen to but just couldn't get into. I realized later that my biggest mistake was not listening to the songs all the way through. I would listen to about 30 seconds or a minute, but then dismiss them and move to the next. With each song I almost got more and more impatient, waiting to hear something that caught my ear immediately. Jump forward to 2007 (yes that many years later), and I was driving my car on a nearly 2 hour trip alone, and I decided to put the CD in and play it without stopping or skipping it. I was completely floored by it. Songs like 'Everything IIRP' I was just mesmerized by. My brother had also included 'You And Whose Army?' which I had previously dismissed after like the first 15 seconds for being too bizarre. This became my favorite Radiohead song for a long time - it was such a brilliant score. After that, I went out and got all their albums. I remember talking to my brother on Skype after listening to that CD he had made me years earlier and telling him how sorry I was that I hadn't listened to it objectively when he made if for me. I can now say that Radiohead are still in my top 3 favorite bands. Although their sound has changed, I've never tired of them. Like you, I understand that with their music, you cannot simply listen to an album once or twice to see whether you'll like it. It takes a good amount of time; but the entire experience is always rewarding!

[@GalacticJew42]

[@aggonzalez8096]

That’s such a relatable story man. When I was in my late teens and early 20s I had that same mindset of needing songs to click with me right away or I wouldn’t like it. For me Tom waits and Beatles were bands I knew I should listen to but didn’t for that reason. Cut to years later I gave them a relisten when I had some free time (once on a road trip, too, listening to Tom waits) and it just clicking. Reading your story was just so relatable thanks for sharing. I also have brothers with whom we are all constantly sharing our own artistic interests with. Some things I’ll come to discover that I like it many months after they’ve recommended it and will feel bad for not giving it a try sooner!

[@AquaticSkipper]

Ok

[@katiec3225]

When you said Black Star i screeched. EVERYONE FORGETS THIS ONE, it’s criminally underrated. anyone who i’ve recommended it to (even my elder sister who introduced me to Radiohead way back) has had it worm it’s way into their hearts! and it’s so heartbreaking :( thank you.

[@Scootz_]

You summed up In Rainbows perfectly with your first statement - "The biggest thing for me is the immense comfort I receive from this record, its the warmth of the production and the organic nature..." I couldn't have put it better myself.

How did those 45 minutes go by in what felt like 10? I was desperate for you to go on for five times that, I could genuinely listen to you do every Radiohead release track by track. It’s also incredibly captivating that it’s just you, no videos, no music, just you from the shoulders up talking passionately and eloquently about one of the greatest sources of music of all time. Thank you.

[@Petepeatpeet]

THANK YOU for giving The King of Limbs a worthy review. I've always thought this was by far their most underrated album. To me, that album seems to me their flexing of their compositional muscles. Even songs like Morning Mr. Magpie and Little By Little are, in all their parts, some of the bands most unique pieces

[@iamnotanumber100]

King of limbs ( to me ) is one of their best.. I love the electro weird beats and it’s not the usual introspective slow sorrow fest so I love it.

Oh shit, I can't wait to watch this. Keep up these videos dude, you single-handedly got me into Swans. I've been a fan of Radiohead since I was a kid, so it'll be interesting to watch these guides to artists I already know well.

[@pedrobarreto2678]

This is one of the most fantastic music analysis I have ever watched. I am big Radiohead's - no, not a fan, let's try to invent another word - and it impresses me the love you have for music. I'm a journalist and my recent Master thesis was about the reign of streaming in the capitalism of music. We can share a few thoughts. Congrats for the work, I'll definitely share it with friends!

[@davidchiversmusic]

Gosh I'm very impressed. A flowing virtuosic choice of words and an emotional response to Radiohead's music which I can absolutely relate to. I'll be going back for re-listens with some fresh ideas. Thanks for the On a Friday material which I have never heard !

[@alessandroschiavon1237]

I don't usually watch retrospectives about musicians, but this channel is really amazing. So that's the first retrospective about Radiohead I ever watched (...and presumably the only one). I was very impressed when you spoke the word "cathartic", because that's exactly the main word I always use to describe what Kid A means to me. I guess you really got the point. Another great guide... no words can express how I deeply appreciate those videos of yours.

[@SaiyaraLBS]

I freaking love everything about this video. You sure did Radiohead justice by explaining every song and all but concisely and clearly

[@adamsimpson731]

I'm a huge Radiohead fan and this was in my recommended videos. Superb guide. Has your playlist on today while doing my first bbq of the year, sipping a cold beer. It was heaven! I scrolled through your other videos and was delighted to see The Laughing Stock one. I got into this album a few months ago after Guy Garvey said on Desert Island discs that New Grass was the most beautiful song hes ever heard. Must have played that album on loop for a week straight! Currently working my way through all the vids. Keep up the great work, my new fave channel by a mile! Your passion and knowledge comes across and is really infectious. I now have a massive list of artists and albums I need to listen to!

As always you opened a few unknown boxes for me. Thank you soo much! Have can you just keep on giving...

[@samboermans6155]

I really do like Supercollider because it gives me a sort of calm feeling or the sense of being in control. A lot of Radiohead's discography push you to be an active listener, like your'e involved in the entire train of thoughs and emotions. Supercollider is in contrast with this stereo typical view and sort of just washes over your head like a warm wave of sound. If you find the song to be a bit boring in contrast with the context, try to listen to it in a more passive manner, in that way it almost feels like your brain is synchronising with the wobbling and shifting synths

[@rain_irl6460]

wicked cant wait to hear this :) thanks man

[@kiril-jiwoo]

Great video Oliver. I love these "guide" videos, keep making them! They are really interesting and I saw every one of these you made + rewatched some.

[@leopro]

Thanks for this man! Loved the review and sure will be coming back for more

[@explodeaphant]

For me, the most impactful song off of the King of Limbs for me was Little By Little. The morphing, kinetic sounds and the use of off-beats really keep me intrigued every time I hear it. I admit I didn't quite 'get' Supercollider/The Butcher the first time I listened, though, as you said with the rest of TKOL, the songs really mature with more listens. The lyricism of Supercollider is beautiful, possibly related to the brevity of existence - a song where every note feels like it is meticulously placed. The Butcher has a unique structure which contrasts adding pieces of the song together by a slow build in musicality with lyrics and chopping sounds that seem to represent the opposite - a song about severing/separation. Definitely worth another listen!

[@TheDearyLu]

I have been a Radiohead fan for 20 years and this was phenomenal. I completely agree with your opinions. Thank you for this beautiful guide showing what an incredible band they are.

[@TheLacrimogino]

WOW! COuld spent hours watching this.thank you very very much.Love to hear you talking about my favourite music

[@caryconover]

Very nicely laid down. I saw Radiohead in Kansas City this spring and it was truly cathartic to hear them live after listening to so many of their albums. Amnesiac is the album that is seared into my brain, but so much from so many of these other albums serve as defining moments for my early adulthood. Very, very well done. Thank you.

[@CapainSky7]

The Butcher is an amazing track. "Beauty will destroy our mind." One of my favorite Radiohead lyric line.

[@brianshaw9326]

I started this video thinking I'd watch the first couple minutes and ended up watching the whole thing! Coming from a life long Radiohead fan, I think you did a fantastic job here! Awesome work. I do think you should go back and revisit Supercollider and the butcher😉 They really grow on you, and after seeing them play supercollider live, it's become one of my go-to's.

[@alvarovallejolarre]

I've never seen your videos before but I watched this whole video. I feel like you get a really good grasp of what makes Radiohead good. Over and over again when you describe the albums and things I feel like you say exactly what I feel subconsciously about the band. A Moon Shaped Pool is opalescent and shimmering, that sounds so accurate.

[@yaninomikos5580]

Brilliant video mate! Great approach! Also, let me mention “You and Whose Army”, is one of my all time favorites, it was worth a mention. Since you talked about the b-sides, there are also a lot of unreleased songs or versions of songs that were amazing and that there are only bootleg or live recordings of. Great job all in all!

[@ZacSandy96]

[@InsaneCarville]

I really like A Moon Shaped Pool. When I first heard that, I thought that it was the sound they were going for since Kid A. That's only because I don't have nor have listened to Hail to the Thief or the other one that's escaping me right now. I got into them after watching the Basement Session for TKOL. From what I've heard, you did a good job at guiding those through it and am now pretty keen to check out the others I haven't heard yet. I own OK Computer, In Rainbows, The Bends and a few others... just some material that touches on every era and A Moon Shaped Pool seems to both sum up what I've heard without going heavy or gritty as well as deliver something new that flows/fits nicely into an an LP. Easily one of the favourite albums I've heard from anyone.

[@timothymartin9085]

Notification squad here, boyos. Can't wait to watch this. Also, Oliver, how familiar are you with the Slowcore/Sadcore genre, and it's proto forms in the shape of Codeine and Low? I believe you mentioned Mount Eerie before in passing, and Phil Elverum has delved into the genre at times. Your thoughts (and possibly a guide to it) would be absolutely stellar. Not only is it, in my opinion, an underrated genre, but an under analyzed genre. Some of its figurehead and seminal albums are both immensely beautiful, esoteric, and deep. Some thoughts put into words about it would be, as I said before, stellar.

[@deepcuts]

I'd love to jump into the genre and do a guide, watch this space Timothy!

[@timothymartin9085]

+deep cuts Amazing to hear! I know it will probably be a low priority, but I'd really love to see it in a couple of months. If you want a great jumping in point, I'd suggest If I Could Live In Hope by Low. If you want a larger list, I can send you a DM on Twitter. But only if you want it. It might be better to freeform explore it though.

The velvet underground king crimson Black Sabbath Bowie Swans there’s plenty of others

@@baphometfathom5348 yeah you're right. Those are all in my top 10-20 innovators. Good to see another Swans fan.

[@DevvratSingh007]

I honestly think that Led Zeppelin should also be included in that conversation. They come right out the gate with what is essentially modern hard rock (characterised both by the fluidity and virtuosity of every member of the band), even if they weren’t the absolute first to have a harder sound, or a proto-punk number. I believe we can all appreciate how altogether different their sound was from contemporary psych rock. PS: The Beatles and Pink Floyd are no 1 and 3 for me… I don't debate their greatness at all.

Can you do a video on Sonic Youth and/or Fugazi?

[@blorp-]

TJ Hastie I second Fugazi

[@kacperklimkowski2271]

while we're on the subject of post/math/noise rock maybe we could throw a guide to Shellac in there as well? ;)

[@deepcuts]

Sonic Youth will definitely be a guide I get around to sometime in the future...see how vaguely non-committal that was? ;)

[@bumsmanifesto123]

A Sonic Youth guide would be much appreciated.

+Kacper Klimkowsk might as well do Albini in general

Loving your content! Keep up the good work :)

Fantastic video. It really made me gain interest in my favorite band again since I haven't listened to them in a while. It's great to hear opinions from such a massive fan. Thank you for making this and keep up the good work, you make very good quality content. Also, you might want to listen to The Butcher again :) It is a phenomenal, dark and very interesting track. Specially focus on the rythm and percussion of that track because it's very smart.

[@Jimbop]

The Butcher makes me cry. It's heartless and unfeeling as you see yourself on the chopping block, realizing your life means nothing to this world. Clearly a statement about the meat industry and modern man's relationship to the food he eats. Great video!

[@captainkerrfluffle8259]

please do pixies they're my favorite band and they've had such a huge influence on music (especially 90s alt rock)

[@ufotofu9]

here's a deep cut. Though the name Radiohead does come from a Talking Heads song the title of the song actually was suggested by close friend of David Burns Actor Stephen tobolowsky. so Stephen tobolowsky is responsible for the title Radiohead.

Great presentation! I'll share this to a friend new to this brilliant band x
