I can’t imagine this album being my first experience of this band, so glad you enjoyed it. They arguably have the best discography out there, so much variety! For something else a bit different try Geogaddi by Boards of Canada 😊

Radiohead is a double edged sword. They are GOATed. So its great to discover them and they have an extensive diverse discography. This along with In Rainbows are my favorites, but really every album aside from their 1st is out of this world. But the bad thing is that it's hard to find other music of this calibre with such an extensive catalog. Radiohead is easily the best band that walks the tight rope of experimental/fresh and catchy/melodic, and as you can tell the production by Nigel Godrich is maybe the best in modern rock/indie. So, you'll find other great inventive artists, but Radiohead really is a sort of miracle band... Thom Yorke is a musical alien from another universe and Jonny Greenwood is an incredible composer and multi-instrumentalist... and the band has had the same members for 40 years! So its hard to duplicate this formula. They are also one of the best live bands of all time. I highly recommend both the In Rainbows and King Of Limbs In The Basement sessions. Aside from their first album Pablo Honey, everything is a must listen if you already dig this on first listen. Thom Yorke's solo albums, his Atoms For Peace band and his new 3 piece band The Smile are also worth a listen. But there are some less long lasting bands that have managed some great catchy and fresh experimental works too. Boards of Canada instrumentally is trippy as hell and they clearly inspired Radiohead. I'd probably recommend Portishead first. All 3 of their albums are classics. Most people think their first album Dummy is their masterpiece, but I'd go with their last called Third. Since you're a Kendrick fan (as am I. he's my favorite rapper), you should check out the remix of N95 with Everything In Its Right Place... that shit slaps so fucking hard. It makes me wish they'd collab. I know Kendrick is a big fan of Radiohead, and its no surprise. When I first heard my first Kendrick album, the first thing I said was "holy shit hip hop finally got their own Radiohead!"

Awesome to see you discover Radiohead. People compare Kendrick just because they're so inventive in their respective lanes. I would listen to all their albums. They are so different but all so magical.

A little note about the end of this album. When it was release on CD, "Untitled" didn't have a track listing, it was hidden at the end of "Motion Picture Soundtrack" after a couple of minutes of silence. The idea being that the protagonist of "MPS" kills himself at the end of the song, since the song is basically a suicide note. "Untitled" is the sound of him being reincarnated. When you listened to it on CD, the whole thing would repeat, and you'd be back into "Everything in its Right Place" after being reincarnated and the loop would start again.

Cut the kids in half refers to the splitting of children during a divorce, which ties in with other lyrics on Morning Bell, like "You can keep the furniture" and "Clothes are all out on the lawn with the furniture."

Radiohead gets a lot of praise from modern musicians like Kendrick and Kanye. You can find clips on Reddit of Kanye saying he listens to Radiohead twice as much as anyone else. You can also find Frank Ocean covering their song Fake Plastic Trees. They’ve had such a massive impact on music in the 21st century, that it’s still surprising to see people discover them for the first time. I hope you enjoy the journey of discovering my favourite band!
