IS THIS PERFECTION?? RADIOHEAD IN RAIBOWS REACTION/REVIEW

[@playazreview]

We love you guys with all our hearts merry Christmas ❤️

[@soliopy]

Thanks for reacting! Glad to see y'all loved this one as much as I do 😁 Here's a few more cool things to check out to anybody discovering this album for the first time: 1st I strongly recommend listening to the second disk of In Rainbows (kinda like the b-sides but it's also fucking incredible), Go Slowly is probably my favorite song of all time. 2nd, if you still want more, check out the "In Rainbows: From the Basement" live performance which some people like even more than the studio album. 3rd, this may sound kinda weird but trust me, look up and listen to the "Videotape 2006 Bonnaroo Version" (has almost a million views on YT). It's an early pre-album version of the song that's much faster and has just a entirely different vibe that's mindblowing. It's soooooo good. By the way, if you listen very closely during Reckoner at 31:31 the name of the album is being sung by the background vocals lol

[@kickyodojo0128]

You guys must listen to Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins.

[@lamagic007]

Check out Thom Yorke's solo work, especially the album The Eraser. I think you'll love it.

[@aldo34]

I first heard Weird Fishes playing loudly in a record shop the day this album came out. I didn't even know they HAD a new record out, as the album was a bit of a 'surprise' release. I was in the shop looking for something, and I just heard this...fucking THING...suddenly start playing. I literally stopped in my tracks, standing there with my mouth open. Genuinely stunning. Listened to the whole song play through, just standing there. Went over to the store guy, and after a wee pause he just said 'Good, eh?'.

[@Darko.1987]

It is a perfect album

[@BevisFriend2010]

Absolutely. It's incredibly deliberate. Every note belongs. It's like it fell from the sky on 10 different parachutes. It's so ethereal. I saw Radiohead play OK Computer live in Belgium at the Torhout Festival first time they played paranoid android live in 97. It completely blew my mind. This Album doesn't contain a single 'bad' note. EVERY note is used in the least obvious but most emotionally dynamic way. It's a journey beyond the clouds. This and the KW album on the wall are my goto production listens. Those 2 and Tyler TC's 'Wolf' hit every kind of feeling for me.

[@jinokar]

I think it is

[@Fran00p]

Radiohead is a band that doesn't have many misses. Ok Computer, Kid A, Amnesia, In Rainbows all 10/10

[@CarterTarter]

Fun fact: this album was basically released for free! The album was available to download on a website for any price you wanted to download it for, including $0!

[@Radioghost717]

I was a broke 20 year old kid when this album came out and I got it for free. Almost feel like I should mail Radiohead a check for all the years of enjoyment I’ve gotten out of this masterpiece

[@fgrillo29]

I still paid $15 for it. Even though I could have had it for free. I loved and respected this band so much that it didn't feel right to just take it. This album has aged so well. Gets better and better with every spin.

[@mtmadigan82]

After I listened to it I felt bad I only gave a dollar. Went back and bought it again for whatever albums went for at the time😂 such a great band.

[@josephbenham649]

I paid $10 for it. Was nice knowing the money went directly to the band instead of some shady record company

[@Syyntax861]

yeah i 'bought' it for free when it first came out cause i was a poor high school kid but then paid for a physical when i had the money cause they deserved my money.

It's probably the single best song of their entire discography, I think. There's so much going on there, it requires so much concentration to play, but somehow it comes together so perfectly.

Live from the Basement next now. Welcome to the greatest album of all time ❤

[@dreww1609]

Watching Radiohead "In Rainbows: From the Basement" the live version from a basement studio, takes this amazing musical perfection UP to an entirely new level. Plus, seen it reacted to with no pauses at least a dozen times without ever being taken down. You can check around YT just to see all the full reactions, but it would a spectacular experience - it is an iconic legendary live show, you see just the 5 guys making all these seemingly impossible soundscapes come to life with no tricks, no backing tracks, all done live by the 5 of them through the fact they are the greatest band of the last 30 years. Great reaction, much appreciated, light, love and peace..../

YASSSS . Okay. I know so many others will say this. But. You NEED to react to In Rainbow Live From the Basement sessions. Pure gold. Also…this album has B sides! Which are also fucking amazing. Loved this reaction ❤

[@donaldshults8957]

First of all, this is the only reaction channel that feels sincere to me. Found ya’ll from the Jeff Rosenstock one and it was a blast to watch. Also just wanted to say it’s wild that this album has a whole second disc of b-sides that are also amazing, sometimes better. Definitely check out the “from the basement” video they put out. It’s fucking crazy seeing humans make this music and the change-ups are really cool.

[@jameshannagan4256]

There's a disc 2 for this album with some great b-sides on it, in fact Radiohead has like 4 albums worth of b-sides that are often as good or better than the album tracks.

Go Slowly has to be a top 10 Radiohead song imo

[@donaldshults8957]

Bangers and Mash goes crazy.

[@zergnub7426]

They released it without any advertisement, without any notification, just chucked it on their site for download. Pay what you want. And they made the most money they ever made from any album, which raises a very interesting question regarding what music is worth, monetarily. It fucked off a lot of suits in the music 'industry,' and I think that was part of the project's purpose - to reject the industrialisation of music.

[@sch3107]

The album, plus the "pay what you want" format, was announced a couple of weeks before it was released.

[@zergnub7426]

@sch3107 Don't remember it like that, but I'm old and probably don't remember the details. I remember just getting a message saying a new album was out, and there hadn't been any advertising that I'd been aware of

[@BananaPelted]

@@zergnub7426no advertising, a few announcements on their sites, but yea they barely put any effort. I think it was jonny that announced it 10 days before and nothing else?

[@thefuturist8864]

Good point, but there's a big difference between an established band like Radiohead releasing an album for free and f**king off the 'suits' and a new band that hasn't yet managed to establish themselves and desperately needs help doing so. It didn't undermine the industry. It was an example of a very successful artist monetising their success.

[@Owenator26]

This is for sure one of my top favourite albums from Radiohead. If you guys like this I highly reccomend you do a full reaction to Jeff Buckley's Grace album. You want to talk about a musical adventure this album for sure takes you on that. Jeff unfortunately passed away years ago but my god one of the most amazing voices to walk this earth. Grace is so good that it easily makes my Top 10 albums of all time it's so good. I read somewhere that Radiohead seen Jeff live in concert and took inspiration from him for one of their albums. He also does a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah it's been done by many artists but for me personally Jeff's cover is the best by far!

[@elyety4268]

Their show from Bonnaroo 2007 is possibly the best show they ever played (band members agree) and they played most of In Rainbows in full 3 months before it was released. There is a pro shot video of this show on KZbin…check it out! And also From The Basement ;)

[@hebreophone]

Y'all should do "A Light for Attracting Attention" by "The Smile". It's a project by the two leading members/songwriters of Raiohead (Thom & Johnny) with an additional drummer. They've released 3 incredible album thus far, but their debut album (The one I've recommended here) is nearly In Rainbows-tier in my book (Their third album "Cutouts" is about as good imo but the debut one will probably be cooler for y'all to react to 😎)
