RADIOHEAD - "In Rainbows" Full Album - FIRST REACTION!

[@ericgoodwinart]

So, it seems like most people would be happy to see “In Rainbows: From the Basement” next as a reaction! Awesome, thank you for the recommendations 🌞 Does anyone know if there is the same copyright to deal with for that, or might it be possible to just show the full songs without splicing them up? I’d of course still be adding commentary after each track. And is there one long video to watch or a playlist of vids? A link or links would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

[@joonaskorhonen4266]

if i remember correctly they don't have copyright strikes in "from the basement" or at least someone said that

[@ROArecords2]

All of the "From the Basement" recordings are great (The King of Limbs one is considered better than the album by many people) and I haven't heard of any copyright strikes from them. It's been a while since I watched this so you have have already mentioned it, but if you haven't listened to their last album "A Moon Shaped Pool" I highly recommend it.

[@brendanlucas6830]

It's all in one video, not a playlist.

[@Plus_Minus_Null]

first ... you did a great work! second ... do you still listen to radiohead ? are they still important for you ?

[@cgallagher4501]

you kept saying about it feeling like a memory? Thats one of the most beautiful descriptions ive heard - its evocative and sad and fun and angry all at once, like the feeling you get sometimes after an intense dream where you try and hold the feeling as it slips away... love you reaction - so good

[@cgallagher4501]

love your reaction i mean - hand injury so typing with one hand !

[@ericgoodwinart]

Absolutely! Well they were the ones to create such a beautiful feeling, I was just trying to describe it, but thanks!

[@gavinoleary4550]

Definitely try out ‘from the basement’ next.. it’s awesome to see them perform these songs live 😊

[@ericgoodwinart]

The In Rainbows basement first?

[@KyloWRC]

@@ericgoodwinart Yes, King Of Limbs From the Basement is also worth a watch after the In Rainbows one as many (myself included) consider it a superior version of the album, including 2 B-Side songs that would've been awesome to hear on the actual record.

[@ericgoodwinart]

@@KyloWRC oh wow, cool! I like when the live version is also a different version of the track, as it adds even more replay value to the song!

[@murraylow6564]

Listen to TKOL first then watch the in basement TKOL, for the reason stated, it's a better version of the album.

[@gavinoleary4550]

I agree with all of the above comments and I loved this reaction.. from the basement has the Daily Mail.. a masterpiece

[@atithipradhan5988]

About how Thom’s vocal delivery is instrument-like, I swear this guy gets it. His opinions throughout the vid just makes me feel like he understands Radiohead.

[@ericgoodwinart]

I appreciate that! 🌞

[@Golfdad8356]

In Rainbows is Radiohead’s masterpiece. One of the best albums of all time IMO

[@ericgoodwinart]

Can’t argue with that!!

[@joemahoney7870]

Bodysnatchers I just love, but no denying Weird Fishes and Nude are two of the most beautiful songs ever released!!

[@ericgoodwinart]

Definitely!!

Dude you are going to absolutely LOVE A Moon Shaped Pool!

Can’t wait!!

[@tjames4025]

Good observation on Reckoner. Thom said the guitar was inspired by a RHCP concert he attended.

[@ericgoodwinart]

Oh cool, then I nailed it! 🌞🌞 I like the Chili Peppers a lot too 🌶🌶

[@ericgoodwinart]

@@dewipayne5397 oh no way! So my RHCP comparisons were more relevant than I knew 🌞

[@robiboebeck]

And coincidentally, it's the song where Thom sings the album name.

[@blunt2416]

Some people didn't like the next album King of Limbs, but I actually loved just as I did the others.

[@citizeninsane8575]

Very underrated record

[@sock2828]

King of Limbs was my introduction to Radiohead and I've always loved it.

[@killerjg]

for me it has 3 songs on it better than any from in rainbows.

[@bryceayoung]

I love TKOL. After Radiohead finished In Rainbows, they said it almost broke up the band and they would never record an album in that manner again. I think that’s good context to TKOL, and also why I think TKOL songs are almost all better live. The record was never intended to be a record. They were messing around in Nigel’s (Godrich) studio trying to find inspiration. And pow, a full length record. So when they went on tour, they refined the songs and turned them on their heads. The basement session is a good example of this. There are probably other example videos. When I saw them live on TKOL tour, little by little went so hard. It was same energy level as Jigsaw

[@JM-wr2fo]

The first couple of times I've heard it I was like.. erm not great... But after listening to it a couple more times, I realized the masterpiece that it is. Beautiful album.

[@dreww1609]

This album, and more specifically randomly seeing "In Rainbows: From the Basement" w/o even knowing the album existed - that show is so special, words don't do it justice. To me, out of so many 'great' moments in the band history, the 'In Rainbows: From the Basement' is the most legendary moment in the story of the band. It brought me back to my favorite band who I'd abandoned after "Ok Computer" catapaulted them as the best there is on the planet. "Kid A" threw me off, I went into a Blues music multi-year dive - but then I saw that show, I was so mesmerized, taken aback at how great the songs were, first listen, and the show brings you a level of connection with the band better than any other way. I'd suggest watching that as the next step into where to go with this journey. Funny you should say beach record - after the show blew my mind, bought the CD for a road trip and week in Key West and just kept playing it and playing it. To me, it is the album where they returned to 5 piece, parts (with some individual exceptions - the 5 guys went back to being a 3 guitar band, with drum and bass and various players for the synth and keys and a million instruments Jonny Greenwood (nominated for 2 Best Movie Orchestral Score Academy Awards - no a bad trait to have for your lead guitarist) uses - seeing them pull off the soundscapes you just heard live, no tricks, - too great. But this album is them just hitting their form and writing some of their best tunes, in this post electronic period for them, and by far I consider the best album to give to someone to check out the band. "OK Computer" remain my favorite album, and "Kid A" their 'Dark Side of the Moon' a true piece of art as music, and "In Rainbows" is this absolutely luscious but wicked and layered and simple yet as deep as the ocean as far as the music and crafting. This is where they come together and create something as near to flawless as should ever be used in this type of context. For whatever my recommendation is worth, check out Disc 2 after From the Basement, then remember the Basement show as it is crucial to the next album, King of Limbs, which I'd go to and then be prepared to do the Basement session for that. After that there are some cool ways to go to explore a but before doing the 9th album. I'm going to see Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood make incredible music with there side band "The Smile" on July 5 - Gen Admission - getting early and getting right up front - so I fully believe there will be a 10th album, LP10, though it may be a couple of years and it may be the last, they all keep making and will continue to produce wonderful music. But this right here, what you just listened to is a gift, it's like saying, we can do basically anything, and this time we presented you this glorious music album to enjoy forever. So however that ranks it, that fact remains true. It is really as good as it gets. Props for maintaining an engaging commentary off the cuff for 1.5 hours - well done very cool //

[@ericgoodwinart]

Wow, that was some fantastic insight and commentary! Thank you for that 🌞🌈

[@dreww1609]

@@ericgoodwinart Yeah man, thanks for the time and effort to create that video. Radiohead's B-Sides (though In Rainbows Disc 2 stands apart a bit as more 'official' than the other B-Sides released) are an entire new ocean of music - to me, after the culmination of hearing the last album, it'd be great to have so much more yet to look forward. The B-Sides for "The Bends" are really phenomenal - for 'Ok Computer' they are so good (and this is just an indication of what level these guys operate at) called "Airbag/How Am I Driving" was nominated for the Grammy for best Alt/Rock album - a B-Side compilation even got a Grammy nod. The Kid A/Amnesiac era has both the live album, that might be cool to check out in between "King of Limbs" and "Moon Shaped Pool" and the B-Sides are all from 'Amnesic' as those 2 albums are the same sessions, and yet again, awesome. HTTT more gems - King of Limbs, not exactly B-Sides, but 2 songs on a single 'The Daily Mail' which are unofficially part of the album - but a few singles sprinkled around it without a major B-Side album, though a full DJ Electronica remix album, so plenty of content. In any case, all of that is to say, IMO that would be a heck of a thing to look forward to once you've heard all of the current albums. But I stress one last time - "From the Basement" is a master key, for both this past album and the next, will change the way you hear and view the band in all positive ways. I remember I wore out the cassette of that Airbag single and extra tracks in my 96' Dodge Avenger, driving around the mountains of SW Virginia in college, indulging in mother earth, so to speak, dying for the next album to come. Then as well, there is new material on updated albums (like 3 songs on the 20th Anniversary edition of OK Computer and some more on Kid Amnesiac released in 2021) along with never released treasures, well known to over the top fans like me, from concerts - a couple that are as beautiful as anything they ever released. So the world is expansive. Great video once again, thanks for the work it must take. Peace//

[@ericgoodwinart]

@@dreww1609 wow!! The amount of music by them that I have yet to explore is intimidating yet exciting!

[@21Odyssey]

Sir I loved the reation, but I must say that for whatever reason the audio is SPECTACULAR! I have no idea why but the whole time I was thinking this sounds insane.

[@ericgoodwinart]

Hey thanks so much!! I’ve been getting better at recording and mixing audio 🌞

[@thylambsauce]

I really think in rainbows (from the basement) is a great next step. It's awesome seeing how the craft their songs in real time. And yes, the core five of the band has been the same since they formed

[@ericgoodwinart]

Thanks for the recommendation and the info 👍🏻

[@jameshannagan4256]

@@ericgoodwinart There are no copyright issues with the basement session for In Rainbows so no editing although that is not true for the other one (TKOL).

[@Neorigg]

Amazing reaction, I love the way you talk about the songs! Can't wait for the next album (The King of Limbs) because it's my favorite Radiohead album! I know most people don't like it very much but it is phenomenal in my opinion and you should do the Live from the Basement version (whether you wanna do the album first is up to you). They play the whole album in this live version + 3 new songs and the execution is flawless. Cheers!

[@ericgoodwinart]

Thanks so much! That’s cool to know that it’s your favorite👍🏻 I think that pretty much every new Radiohead album has become my new favorite as I’ve gone through their discography!

[@jameshannagan4256]

I like the studio album but I love the basement session.

[@Neorigg]

@@jameshannagan4256 yes me too!

[@theodorerollet170]

Maybe an unpopular opinion but House of Cards is my favorite song of In Rainbows. One of my favorite Radiohead songs ever!

[@NerdyDZN]

I’m with you there. The lead guitar is so beautiful to listen to. It has a calming tune

[@greenlittlebird]

Same

[@dylanpretto3571]

In Rainbows always felt like an imagery of a sunset view in the nature to me. Just like being in the woods, with birds shirping, rivers flowing by and mountains surrounding. But the beach feeling could resonate too. And yeah, the coffee shop feeling is a welcome one. After all, it's melancholic bliss

[@synge9116]

I love how you ask questions between songs and predict what might happen in the song/album. It really engages me as someone watching your video.

[@emiliomunoz5403]

So nice bro, this album is perfect

[@Klui_]

Just a wonderful album, huge shout outs for recognizing how beautiful House of Cards is, a lot of people dismiss it as its less "complex" than others in the album, but I love how ethereal it gets with the atmosphere. Thank you, it's great to hear your commentary and thoughts in real time, I can't wait to see what you react to next!

[@ericgoodwinart]

I think that die-hard fans of a band will always find some faults along the way, and I can be that way too, but I’ve been happy to just focus on what I like about what I’m hearing on a first listen and the first few listens. It’s way easier to get jaded, and I try to avoid that with things I love like music as best I can!

[@mr.noride7226]

I will never understand the the flack that House of Cards gets. I’ve loved it since I first heard it. It’s the most ambient track on the album which is a nice break between the colourful Reckoner and upbeat Jigsaw Falling Into Place.

[@Klui_]

@@mr.noride7226 Fully agree, it's such a beautiful track, the ambience is amazing!!

[@RafNorth]

I cannot stress this enough, but when you get to King of Limbs you HAVE to do the In the Basement session too! Hearing that album live and seeing the process of how they made it is next level.

[@ericgoodwinart]

And should I do the In Rainbows live from the basement before moving on to King?

[@RafNorth]

I would do In Rainbows Disc 2 first, then The Basement session because they do songs from the second disc. Then I would recommend listening to the King of Limbs, followed by the Basement session for that one.

[@ericgoodwinart]

@@RafNorth ahhh thank you for letting me know that they do music from disc 2 in the basement session! Not sure if I had heard that yet 👍🏻 And disc 2 is definitely worth doing a reaction to?

[@RafNorth]

@@ericgoodwinartYou don’t necessarily HAVE to react to Disc 2. It’s more of a compilation of songs that didn’t make it on the album more than a cohesive listen like the finished product. But there are some great songs there and us Radiohead fans will always eat up anyone reacting to any of their material. So is it mandatory? Nah, but if you want to put in the extra effort to do it I would certainly watch!

[@chr0nicstupidity]

@@RafNorth And In Rainbows From the Basement has some songs from Hail to the Thief among others...

[@MadsRitzau]

Nude begins with the ending, but in reverse, so you’re pretty close there

[@ericgoodwinart]

That’s rad! TOOL did something similar with an interlude on their Fear Inoculum album called Legion Inoculant

[@Prairiepagan316]

My favorite RH album. I am going to paint the front of the album cover on the back of a jean jacket. I could never get tired of In Rainbows.

23:06 Yes, the intro of nude is the outro played backwards (except for the drums)

[@ericgoodwinart]

Oh cool, I’ll listen for that!

[@OGx1411]

I don't want to spoil anything but their "a moon shaped pool" is definitely one if not the most gloomy plus conceptional album by them. I really like the way you describe your thoughts and impressions, they are so out of the box yet so fitting. keep it up man :)

[@ericgoodwinart]

Well that is definitely a spoiler, but that sounds cool! But the rest of your message is nice, so I appreciate that!

[@bungobear5733]

Radiohead have released several individually unique masterpieces. This is one of them. And they made it available for free to download and gave people the option to pay what they wanted or not.

I spend my time these days watching reactions to Radiohead albums. A mixture of jealousy that you are getting to hear them for the first time and anticipation of what your reaction will be to what I know is coming. Counting the seconds to your 'Oooo' or 'Wow' reactions 😂 didn't disappoint! This album is the Radiohead Summer album, as light and colourful as they get. Is it their best? Probably, maybe, depends!

[@felipegussoni2124]

49:20 funny you say that, heres what thom yorke had to say about it: "Anyway, the funny thing was that to be honest the guitar on it was really influenced by... I went to see the Chili Peppers a few times and I really like the way John Frusciante plays. And uh... it was sort of a homage to that, in my sort of clunky ‘can't-really-pick' kind of way." specifically talking about frusciante's two note chord style seen in scar tissue and a lot of his solo work. this was a great reaction, excited to see more. and would love to see a like clockwork reaction, that album is incredible.

[@broonton]

We'd heard a lot songs live before it came out. There was a lot of anticipation. As a huge fan of so much of what they had done before, this one really moved me. I will never forget listening to it in the middle of the night when it dropped and then over and over and over that night and for months after. Just such an amazing warm vibe. Great job. Fun watch. Id do from the basement next, then king of limbs, king of limbs from the basement, a moon shaped pool

[@Excellence308]

this album has a pretty stacked B-side that you shouldn't miss out on

[@gpeddino]

Their best album, IMHO. It flows perfectly, the songwriting is exquisite and the production is top-notch. You should move on to The King Of Limbs. That will be an interesting reaction, lol.

[@jameshannagan4256]

Please do not forget the huge amount of fantastic b-sides the band has no other band I have ever heard has so many great non-album tracks, more than many popular bands have a-sides.

[@ROArecords2]

@@en16ma_music Isn’t it about hooking up at a key party? Personally I don’t like it because it’s the only song they do that just seems surface level and shallow like every pop song: “let’s not think about our lives and just f*ck.” I could be wrong, but that’s my thinking.

[@Theo-yo8ph]

@@ROArecords2 for me it's about a man in a doomed relationship falling in love with someone also who is also in a doomed relationship (hence 'forgetting' the fragile 'house of cards'), struggling to come to terms with it and being in denial. i don't think the key party line is necessarily just about wanting to fuck someone, i think it's just a method the doomed lovers can use to be intimate without the consequences

Though its not my favorite track off the album, jigsaw falling into place was definitely a stand out track played live.. Looking forward to more reactions..

[@CallicoDude]

Videotape actually changed a lot when it was in the process of being made, in 2006 radiohead went live in bonaroo and videotape was sung but in a much different tone. I assume it was changed because it didn’t fit being the last song of the album but I like both the live and studio versions. I’d recommend giving it a listen if you have the time, I think you’d like it

[@ericgoodwinart]

Hey thanks for noticing and acknowledging that! Otherwise chopped up songs lose some momentum with all the misaligned beats that would happen without intentionally editing them together on beat as best I could 👍🏻 Took way longer but worth it; otherwise the listener has to find the beat again after every splice!

[@roklawbstah]

Re: QOTSA, if you haven't heard their album "Like Clockwork," you'll most likely enjoy it, it's kinda undeniable. I haven't checked out their latest (it's only just come out) but I'm looking forward to being able to give it the time it deserves. I personally don't think that they have much in common with Radiohead stylistically, but both groups feature incredible musicianship and songwriting, and it's been fun watching them both evolve over the years.

[@ericgoodwinart]

That’s the one I would start with, as I know it’s the first one I haven’t listened to (or any afterwards). I like any music that has a unique sound, and QOTSA definitely has that! I’ve listened to “Songs for the Deaf” and “Era Vulgaris” many times each

Newest album is super catchy but emotioally interesting

Nude is interesting in that Radiohead recorded it for OK Computer but weren't satisifed with it yet. It was a fan favorite B-side/live song for over a decade before it got put on In Rainbows with Colin's amazing bassline. Also you've mentioned Neil Young a few times in your Radiohead reviews and I don't think you'll be surprised to know that Tom Yorke is a big fan. Radiohead has covered one or two Young songs live.

[@MrrArno]

What you said around 1:04:28 - 1:04:58 is very true and gave me the methaphorical idea that each one of these songs represents a distinct color of the collective rainbow that is the album. Might be a bit far-fetched, and of course not unique to this album, but I like the thematic fit here 😂

[@ericgoodwinart]

Oooo I like that way of thinking about it! Nicely said 🌈

[@jameshannagan4256]

I would not put it past them to do that with some help from Stanley maybe?

[@kevinfelix2302]

During the intro to Nude, it is indeed backwards! It's actually the outro reversed :)

[@khristopherr]

Great reaction vid. It is a really beautiful album. You're also beautiful to look at ;)

[@ericgoodwinart]

Oh thank you haha 🌞

[@khristopherr]

@@ericgoodwinart you're most welcome! I can't wait to see your King of Limbs and A Moon Shaped Pool reaction vids.

[@artwhale_chua]

I liked it! I agree it doesn’t seem as experimental as hail to the thief but it’s all pretty solid stuff. I think I might like hail a bit better? it might have songs that I liked liked more but this one might be overall more consistent solid. also, would you consider updating your profile picture? I like your new stuff!

[@ericgoodwinart]

I think I agree with all of that! And yeah, maybe I should haha

[@davidlukey5189]

The word for this album is cohesive.

[@ericgoodwinart]

Absolutely!

[@Alan141191]

Opening nude is really reverse from ending of Nude too

[@kehnn24]

you should listen to in rainbows disk 2, it has one of my favorite songs.

Best album of all time in my opinion.

[@Modescellar]

I found this theory on Genius which I thought was actually genius: It’s worth mentioning that as soon as Yorke sings the first "on videotape", the drums immediately start going "out of control". The sound produced is similar to that of a tape reel doing likewise. The words repeat in rhythm with the drums because the tape is stuck on a loop.

[@ericgoodwinart]

Oh that’s an interesting idea!

If you are into the dance-y bits of Radiohead, I think you may like King of Limbs. Its actually one of my favorite Radiohead albums. there is a lot of dance-y bits to it and then the back half of it is very atmospheric. I think you stated that you like atmospheric and dance-y bits. Separator blends those elements to me.

[@dvdso]

what you mentioned on "off-beat" on videotape is due to the song having hidden syncopation all over it. they usually have to start several times at live concert because people clap on the wrong beat and each instrument starts in a different time, so it messes everything if they don't catch from the beggining.

[@lucatheboy1551]

You’re awesome man

[@ericgoodwinart]

Hey thanks! 🌞👍🏻

[@les9920]

Great album and what’s even better it was a free download when first launched on iTunes as part of Radioheads approach of pay what you can afford.

[@CaveWang]

Also videotape was a very upbeat song originally, they stripped it back massively. Was anthemic previously. Bonarro version is the best live version to hear it

[@ericgoodwinart]

Really… interesting! Would not have guessed that!

Yeah I could see that 🌞🏔🚲

@@ericgoodwinart I love these reaction videos and if you haven’t already I think oracular spectacular by mgmt is definitely an album worth checking out

Faust is an old German legend that has been adapted lots of times over the centuries by different writers. Faust sells his soul to the devil in return for knowledge and pleasures but in the end the devil will return to claim Faust's soul. It's the first time the old 'meeting the devil at a crossroads' story appears.

[@ericgoodwinart]

Ohhhhh cool, thanks for the info! So Faust is a character, not a writer or philosopher, got it👍🏻

[@Rl-tn1ys]

I’d give anything to listen to in rainbows for the first time again

[@jameshannagan4256]

You should do the two basement sessions and The King Of Limbs transforms into a masterpeice from the basement, the studio version not so much.

[@jacobneylon647]

Definitely recommend some QOTSA!!! Just pick up wherever you left off. Their newer albums are great, especially their most recent they just dropped. Dark, groovy, sexy, creative robot-rock.

[@ChuckWasHere]

That bass sound in All I Need sounds like a Wurlitzer to me.

[@viktorolsson1149]

You should listen to the Bonnaroo version of videotape. It has a whole different vibe.

[@nahaiatours]

I listen to Radiohead as a backdrop to my daydreaming, indeed preferably outside, with the risk of enacting what the music makes me feel and scare one or another bystander
