HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Radiohead - Paranoid Android' | GENUINE REACTION

[@kirkbridej77]

Every Radiohead album is different than the last..the entire The Bends album and OK Computer are brilliant front to back...perfect albums

[@jaycmacg]

Agreed on Bends and OK Computer, although I've got Bends as their 5th or 6th best, OK Computer top 3.

[@HyBr1dRaNg3r]

Love The Bends and OK Computer…As a guitarist, I was supremely disappointed by everything that came after😕

[@ofcatarina]

@@HyBr1dRaNg3r In Rainbows is their best album IMO. As far as guitar playing I do most enjoy playing pretty much everything the play in the Le Resevoir live set.

[@jaycmacg]

@@HyBr1dRaNg3r A guitarist that doesn't appreciate In Rainbows is interesting. Weird Fishes, Bodysnatchers, Jigsaw, Nude...pretty impressive and innovative guitar based stuff! Watching it created on 'In The Basement' is kind of astonishing.

[@timithius]

@@jaycmacg I was fortunate to see every Radiohead tour, from "The Bends" to "In Rainbows". Like the albums themselves, every show was different. "The Bends" and OK Computer" are the standouts for me personally. They were both in clubs, and that intimacy is hard to recreate. Although admittedly, they've blown me away with 50,000 people in a big field. But the show for "OK Computer" was the best show I ever saw, in a list of over 1,000 shows. It was the point in their career that they were really starting to become big. But they hadn't started playing stadiums and festivals yet. I'd been on board since "Creep", and "The Bends" still holds a really dear spot. So was ready for "Okay Computer", but I could have never predicted what it would end up being; musically and live both. Life changing isn't an exaggeration.

[@tomclemens5345]

going from creep to paranoid android is like going from mickey mouse to shakespeare

[@skarlottt]

You are Shakespeare dude well said

[@nickparsons337]

That's an interesting analogy. I've been with this band from the beginning; and the musical evolution is nothing less than astounding. My highschool girlfriend was a huge Radiohead fan UNTIL OK. Computer. I guess it was over her head. (Which will never make sense to me because she was also a Beatles and Floyd fan.)

Creep was an outlier song in Radiohead discography. It was a radio friendly, verse, chorus, verse song. It was on their first album and they didnt have full creative control and Creep became a one hit wonder. But, Radiohead had other ideas, and their second Album was perfection and Ok Computer Album #3 which Paranoid Android was on was another masterpiece. Few band had a better 3 album run than Radiohead with The Bends, Ok Computer, and Kid A. Radiohead was a band made up of musical prodigies imho, and were one of the best bands ever.

[@Crackity_Jones.]

Love that you went from Creep to Paranoid Android. It's a massive leap. If you stick with them there's a load more 'parallel universe' type switch ups to come

[@KipArmadillo]

A beautiful symphony off one of the greatest albums of all time! A full album reaction is essential. "This does not sound like Radiohead" - actually, it's "Creep" that doesn't really sound like Radiohead. The more you listen, and the further you get away from Creep, the more it'll make sense. And, yeah, simply listening without the video is all you need with Radiohead.

[@ceevio_art]

At the top of the pyramid of the most influential and important bands in history of UK modern music, there sits The Beatles, The Rolling Stines, Pink Floyd... and Radiohead. Radiohead and the Beatles career development arc were quite similar. Just as the Beatles went from "Love, Love Me Do" to "I am the Walrus" in a few short years, Radiohead went from "Creep" to "Paranoid Android". And their following albums get even more experimental! They completely discarded the aim of getting radio play, and just made the music they wanted to make.

"Karma Police" is another Radiohead evergreen. If you want to be even more confused about what style they are categorized in, try "Everything in it's right place" or "Idioteque". You would kind of skip another album with the latter two but the thing is they are extremely good no matter the genre.

[@markshaffer6447]

Their first album, Pablo Honey (which my dog is named after) was them trying to be what they thought they needed to be to be successful. After that they really took off creatively. Their second album, The Bends, is a large step forward in them finding their identity while still trying to make commercial music. OK Computer (which Paranoid Android is from) was a full release of the training wheels and their first album where they said bollocks to commercialism, lets do what WE want to create.... And they created a masterpiece! Each album since has been a pure piece of artwork, each exploring and exhibiting different sides of their creativity and talents. My personal favorite album is In Rainbows. Your format will be difficult to fully take them in as their sound can varry so widely while still making each album sound as a masterfully crafted complete single work. The best way to gain an understanding is not a song-here, a song-there, but in full album listens. One at a time will just peak your curiosity for more. If I had to list individual songs I would suggest one song per album so you can sort of get an idea of their maturation and evolution of their sound. The below list is my choices listed as album first, then track: Pablo Honey - Creep (1993) CHECK The Bends - Fake Plastic Trees OR My Iron Lung (1995) OK Computer - Paranoid Android (1997) CHECK I might suggest another track, but since you just did it I'm skipping an alternate suggestion Kid A - Morning Bell (2000) Amnesiac - I Might Be Wrong (2001) Hail to the Theif - Where You and I Begin (2003) In Rainbows - House of Cards (2007) The King of Limbs - Lotus Flower (2011) A Moon Shaped Pool - Decks Dark (2016)

[@scapito]

💯 great suggestions from each album. 🤌 Those 2 songs from The Bends... I wouldn't be able to pick just 1, definitely do both bc they're so different.

Once voted the greatest album of all time by Q magazine. The diversity on the album is superb. Through headphones simply stunning

[@dreww1609]

Radiohead had had 5 of their 9 albums on the Rolling Stone Top 500 Best Album list and 9 best Alt-Rock Album Grammy nominations - they change their sound every album, so catching their 'sound' is hard at first, but after a few tunes you begin to understand. I'd suggest "Wierd Fishes: Live from the Basement" as a perfect next reaction.Love your channel, so glad to see you dive into this incredible band!

Also the video for Paranoid Android is super weird. Oh and this a band that is unbelievable live.

[@mikedonoghues4018]

My Iron Lung is such a wonderful metaphor. For those that can’t breathe, an iron lung keeps you alive - but it contains and restricts you from movement. “Creep” was exactly that: its royalties and airtime kept Radiohead alive, but stopped their growth. Some audiences, and their record company, just wanted the next “Creep”.

[@donnamathewson22]

Love this. Take your time with radiohead. Multiple listens. No expectations from one moment to the next. Let it wash thru you. Lovely to see your reaction.

[@StephenWhittaker-g5g]

Paranoid Android and the Album OK Computer is also a reference to Douglas Adams "Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy", both are highly existential romps a lot of distractions and Series of mad meaningless events. A large number of the lines in the Lyrics re pulled from the books/ radio play/ tv series. Including Characters forgetting Aurthur Dents name, Marvin the Paranoid Android, Marvins creators are listed as the first people to be the first people against the wall when the revolution comes. The opening lines are a reference to the Bulldozers getting ready to knock Arthurs house down.

I remember seeing this video for the first time on MTV, past midnight I think, because it was daytime banned. Haha, what a mindfudge of a video. I remember reading somewhere that the Swedish animator Magnus Carlsson was given an instrumental of this, so that Yorke's lyrics would not give him too many ideas on what he should do. Hence, the lyrics don't have much to do with what is shown, but it really maches the vibe of this whole piece, still.

This is considered by many to be GenX/Millennial version of Bohemian Rhapsody. IIR, there was a British show with main character, Robin, who this video was animated by and includes.

[@martinwhite3559]

OK Computer is considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest albums ever made. It is a type of concept album where there is a theme running through the whole album. Radiohead where a normal rock band before this album, but they started to experiment and changed the landscape of music. They have been called the most important UK band since The Beatles. Karma Police and Fake Plastic Trees are great too but more normal type of songs. I am sure people would like you to do a full Radiohead album reaction, and OK Computer might be the best choice, but In Rainbows in also very popular with fans. You should do some more full album reviews. Rust in Peace by Megadeth, Vulgar Display of Power by Pantera, Nevermind by Nirvana, Superunknown by Soundgarden, Simese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins, Appetite for Destruction by Guns N Roses, Dookie by Green Day, Number of the Beast or Powerslave by Iron Maiden, Ride the Lightning or The black Album by Metallica, Highway to Hell or Back in Black by AC/DC, Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Just a few of the greatest rock and metal albums of the all time. The top 5 must listen to Albums from this list are 1. Appetite for Destruction (The greatest hard rock album ever made) 2. Paronoid (Often considered one of the greatest hard rock and metal albums ever made ) 3. Rust in Peace (The greatest thrash metal album ever) 4. Nevermind (One of the most Iconic albums ever) 5. The Black Album (The highest selling Metal album of all time). Once you react to these mega important albums, you will have a different appreciation to rock and metal music. If you want to grow your channel, you need to give us some different stuff. Just reacting to single songs is fine, but whole albums are even better. You can do a patreon thing where people can pay a subscription fee to react to your full albums reviews, and you can then do an edited video for KZbin so you don't get a copyright strike. These are only suggestions. You need to start differentiating yourself from other music reaction channels if you want to become really popular. I like how you have been doing classic songs from the 6Os and 70s but don't forget the type of music that you started the channel reacting too. If you do decide to do more full album reactions, then you could choose 5 and do a poll to see what people might like to see first. In the end, I am just some random guy that has been listening to music for nearly 45 years. In the end, it is your channel, and you have to do what feels right for you and makes you happy. You should try to see some band live. Must concerts are Iron Maiden, Metallica, (The current) AC/DC, (The new) Pantera, Radiohead, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Slayer, Slipknot, Queen + Adam Lambert (A tribute to Freddie). Just to name a few.

With Radiohead, it never hurts to read up on their tracks, they are very open about motivations and inspirations for their music, often recounting stories and specific events etcetera.

[@schalfield]

Radiohead is great for listening with the lyrics pulled up or on a lyric only video. Thom’s voice is incredible and he uses it more like just one of the other instruments so it’s not all up front. Great for the mood and passion he pours in, but reading along really helps.

I’m australia, there is an alternative radio station called triple j. Every year they conduct a public poll of the top 100 songs of the year just gone, and then they broadcast the whole list over a day. It’s epic. About a month later, they (used to) release a double album with about 40 of the songs on it. My dad gave me the album for 1997, and my life has never been the same. I was a total pop girl, but open to new things. I was raised on 70s and 80s rock, but mostly listened to top40. Two songs on that disc melted my brain: The Perfect drug by Nine inch nails, and Paranoid Android by Radiohead. I had never heard anything like them before - no boring song structures here! Absolutely wild. Took me about ten listens to finally get it and then I was hooked. Had to hear more. That started my deep love of progressive music, and launched me into the alternative and metal scenes. So this song is very special to me. ❤

Yes, this is Radiohead! Their sound truly evolved into something much more indie-sounding than what it started as. Take a listen to "Karma Police" when you get a moment, which has a similar vibe. Also, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try something a bit out of the mainstream, let me suggest you check out some Blonde Redhead, which has a similarly atmospheric feel to it. Maybe start with "Blonde Redhead - Misery is a Butterfly."

One early live Performance of this song from 1997 stands out to me and is a pretty good demonstration of how good of a band they are and how good Thom York is. From Jools Holland "Radiohead - Paranoid Android (Later Archive 1997)"

Creep was a very early single 1st album, this is from their 3rd Album , they had moved on

I never really liked this when I first heard it, but I think it's a song that has to grow on you. Please react to Street Spirit (fade out) by them, I feel it's a hauntingly and melancholy, but it is good, vocals are in the high range too

Yay! More Radiohead ❤

If you feel like this is different from the other radiohead song - wait til you hear the album Amnesiac. A different vibe again. Like Spinning Plates (original version or special re release) is amazing but probably a quiet listen. Btw when Paranoid Android was released it was HUGE. As weird as it sounds now - for us way back it felt like home. The song Daydreaming off their album A Moon Shaped Pool is probably my favorite Radiohead song of all. Its sound is somehow humble and regretful but uplifting. Worth a listen if its for a video or just for yourself.

RE: video or no video: It really depends on the song/video. haha Some are complimentary, as in it helps to understand the meaning/intention. Others will confuse the meaning, or distract from paying attention to the actual music (example: this one). There's no definitive answer. (except perhaps for always watching the video for a live performance?) Anyway, Radiohead are brilliant & have many different sides to them. "Creep" is from their first album, and they evolved a lot from there!

Love the band, never liked the videos. In those days bands were throwing everything at the wall competing for airplay on MTV.

I'd love to see you react to 'Just' next time you do Radiohead. Make sure it's the official video you watch, because that is a bit of a mindf**k, but in a totally different way to this!

"Alter Bridge" 🎧

[@rebeccaleblanccoaching4239]

This song straight up blew my mind and changed my musical life (in high school, shit I'm old now). It is the top of TOP TIER - this entire album is G.O.A.T. I'm so glad you chose this one! :) P.S. It's my birthday today, and I'd love a response from you if you find the time. I also have a KZbin channel. Congrats with the amazing job you're doing with your channel!

[@chrisweidner4768]

Happy birthday. All the best.

[@rebeccaleblanccoaching4239]

@@chrisweidner4768 Thank you so much, it's been a great one! :)

[@JerriSchon]

That definitely different!!

[@acegamer5082]

It took me multiple listens to truly appreciate this brilliant song.

[@kdavidson1386]

Radiohead is in my top 3 favorite bands of all time....this music growing up just hit me so differently that I can't even explain it. These guys are so talented that every album has a different vibe and just hits every time for me.

In addition to songs carrying different meanings for different people. meanings can also change for a person as they have experiences and grow. If you listen to any of the music you're exploring now, say five or ten years from now, you may find that you pull a new meaning from some of them... or all of them.
