This is one of those albums that makes me feel grateful to be alive. I can only just listen in awe that humans are capable of making something this beautiful.

[@NorthernSpartan]

Beautifuly and accurately stated

[@0belixRed]

they're not humans mate... they are from out of this world, there is no other explanation for the whole discography... even Pablo Honey has pearls... my only regret it that i did not have the opportunity to experience a live concert from the KIDA/Amnesiac tour... thankfully, i have seen them live later on, twice... and its incredible how they play all those overwelmingly dense/rich musics live and make'em sound even better than the album marterpiece versions.... the GOATs of music by far... nobody has a sequence of 5 albuns that are all filled from start to finish with works of art... obviously speaking of Ok Computer to In Rainbows... but dont get me wrong, The Bends, TKOL and Moon Shaped Pool are awesome, but those 5... dammm

What an incredibly bizarre journey this was. Listening to this with you, going through eerily similiar emotions the whole way through. Bear in mind I've listened to this album before and loved it, but not like this. Very grateful for this experience. All Love.

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Radiohead is like musical therapy, I truly believe it. After my mom passed away in 2021, I lost my job and was in the worst time of my adult life while I lived in London - unemployed and living in a horrible flat, in a long distance relationship with my partner of 7 years. One day with nothing to do, I went to The National Gallery around the time it opened and began listening to all of Radiohead's albums in order, From Pablo Honey to A Moon Shaped Pool. I must've been at the museum at least 8 hours. By the time I was finishing listening to A Moon Shaped Pool, I became overwhelmed with emotion. I remember where I was in the museum, I was looking at the works of Diego Velazquez when I couldn't really hold it in and I had to sit on the bench and just take a moment to shed private tears, hiding away from the crowd as much as I could. Listening to True Love Waits, the final song in their discography (thus far) in the new context of Thom Yorke's partner having passed away, thinking of the passing of my mom, it was an overwhelming moment, and yet it was after that day that I knew I needed to move forward with my life, following the last words my mom ever told me: "Don't be afraid to live your life".

[@damontiernan5233]

A gorgeous story. Thank you for sharing this

[@Giant.Iain171]

Beautiful story, thanks for sharing. I completely agree about it being therapy. I’d never really got Radiohead, despite being in my early 40s and English. Then the Dissect podcast, which normally focuses on hip hop did a series on this album and it started to make sense. Then a year ago I split from my wife, so wasn’t seeing my children everyday, had to move house and simultaneously work got incredibly stressful and overwhelming. I started listening to In Rainbows and Moon Shaped Pool, over and over, both albums drawing all kinds of emotions out of me, often at the very same time, both sorrow and euphoria, calming but invigorating, comforting but forceful etc etc. I went to bed listening to one or other for months and gradually life found a new normal. I’m convinced the music of Radiohead played a big part in getting me there healthily. it does very good things to me, and very similar to good sessions of therapy I’ve had in the past.

[@knic__8799]

you would really enjoy a moon shaped pool by them. Very introspective record for a band that's usually abstract

[@austinh953]

​@zachariejouineau6034 Radiohead albums don't really sound like Pink Floyd or the Beatles too much besides their willingness to experiment. Kid A is probably their most experimental and "strange" album. If you want a more movie soundtrack type album, with an emphasis on strings/piano, I'd recommend A Moon Shaped Pool. Outside of Radiohead, my go too albums to recommend are Ants From Up There by Black Country New Road or The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails.

Cheers, Jon. I'm really glad this art connected with you. It's meant so much to me over the years.

The resentments, the passions, the fears, the anger, the hope... Great art lets us know we're not alone.

Such a great reaction! 2 additional special bonuses to this album - perhap the greatest singular achievement by Radiohead is "In Rainbows: Live from the Basement."

Sending a big hug, this album unlocks things we keep in ourselves to keep us safe.

The awed "Fuck Off" just after Thom's extended 'thiiiiiiiiiinking' near the end of Nude is maybe the best reaction to that song ever. Just perfectly encapsulates how I feel every time I hear it: incredulous that it exists and washed away in bliss simultaneously.

I know different subscribers will have different tastes but this is my favourite video of Jon's since the AFUT reaction. Love these reactions to seminal works where you can sort of vicariously put yourself in JD's shoes and pretend you're listening to it for the first time, while listening to a sort of live analysis of the music you can trust and respect - think this channel and turningthetables are probably the only two that can properly put you in this position. Bravo, Jon!

Love your reactions. Some albums are magical. They take you on a journey - may not be entirely pleasant but always moving.

If a Radiohead fan bullies you, he's NOT a Radiohead fan.

Listening to this album feels like drinking an ice cold glass of water at 3 am

The best Christmas gift ever, I’m not even over exaggerating. I know you’ve heard a lot of there previous big songs, but OK computer and Kid A are so worth listening to start to finish. Hope you enjoyed Christmas with the family Jon
