As someone who’s listened to In Rainbows ever since it was released as a pay-what-you-want album, I find it interesting how “Weird Fishes” has become the “hit” of the album. Don’t get me wrong, I find this tune to be absolutely incredible; I just don’t recall it garnering the praise and attention that it does now. It may just be the case that this song greatly benefits from repeat listens and only grows with appreciation with time.
@sushi_donut3 ай бұрын
Then you remember just how pioneering Radiohead's sound was from the beginning bro. Weird Fishes, Let Down (for example) are this generations first listen, and speaks to the time they are living in acoustically and lyrically. For first release listeners, those that had to wait years in between albums, the entire songbook day one was a new reference of sound. But for reactors today - so many bands, film scores, tv soundtracks, outros, and popular media have already been influenced by Radiohead as a defacto signature sound.
@carllyngholm55683 ай бұрын
I don't necessarily agree with your assertion that people universally look back at "Weird Fishes" as the sole album hit. It's one of the standouts, sure. But, if anything, when I hear or read anyone talking about this album, "Nude" actually gets brought up more on rankings lists and so forth. But more interestingly, "Jigsaw Falling into Place" is talked about as the true underrated song on this album. That actually makes sense to me as when I first heard "Jigsaw" I was kind of meh about it, but now it's one of my favorites.

To be fair their entire catalog requires multiple listens, I can't begin to list all the songs of theirs that I love but really wasn't crazy about the first handful of times I listened to them.

If you want the REAL crazy out there shit from Radiohead you gotta do Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief. Those 3 were back to back right after OK Computer and it's widely seen as one of the craziest, boldest left turns in music history. Achieved massive success as a rock band with OK Computer and then IMMEDIATELY decided to do something different. In Rainbows is just after that run and is actually a little bit of a return to earth by comparison, but it's album made by people who had been through that period of crazy experimentation and brought all they'd learned from that as musicians and distilled it down to fairly simple but really interesting tracks. EDIT: Also, eeeeeeeeverybody says that about Weird Fishes the first time. Good but not gonna be one of your favourites. Give it time.

He said for Fake Plastic Trees he wrote a song about nothing that turned into something. He said some of those lines he wrote made him laugh. I could never get tired of In Rainbows. I think OK Computer is better, but In Rainbows is my favorite.

I'm not going to lie, I've listened to countless albums, but this one stands out as the biggest grower I've ever encountered. On the first listen, I appreciated it, just like you did. But by the third or fourth listen, it had already transformed into something phenomenal. Now, after even more listens, I'm seriously considering it as my favorite album of all time. All of the songs just keep getting better and better, and in my opinion work even better as standalone tracks than OK Computer. I highly recommend giving it more listens, it definitely rewards you for it.

I paid like $3 to download In Rainbows and subsequently forgot about it for a solid decade...and now suddenly it's one of my favorite things of all time. I'm only now working my way into KoL and Moon Shaped Pool. It's so strange but I love it and they're my favorite band.

Before I got my Stepdad to be a huge Radiohead fan like me, he only knew some songs like Creep, High and Dry, and some songs from Ok Computer. You know how I got him hooked into Radiohead? I played him the song Nude from this album and then showed him a video of a choir doing it A Cappella in a stairwell. It made him realize just how much goes into crafting those songs after hearing each part be sung, hummed, or beat boxed. In Rainbows is both mine and my Stepdad's favorite Radiohead album. Oh! and as far as the next album you should listen to, I'd go with Kid A first just because of how experimental it is compared to the two you've reacted to. While it's not my favorite album by them, it's still my favorite to watch people react to for the first time because of how surprising it can be for a first time listener. I'd listen to The Bends after that.

The instrument you couldn't identify in Weird Fishes is a Fender Rhodes electric piano. It's a keyboard that uses metal chimes in the place of strings, and the metal chimes are magnetically amplified (similar to the same process in an electric guitar.) It dates back to the 1950s, and was heavily used in pop and soul music. It has a warm, dynamic sound. For an example, listen to "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" by Stevie Wonder.

Nice insightful reaction to the lyrics, but I personally think you've missed the point of Videotape. He isn't happy he's dead, the song is about a man who sees a videotape of his life and he realises it's beautiful (that life, being the one summarised throughout the album) So the point of the album is that even through all the torment we go through in life, the good and the bad we do or is done to us, at the end of the day, our lives are beautiful. Anyway, radiohead are the masters of making songs that are growers. And, finally, I recommend listening to The bends first before Kid A, so you have a better understanding of what people associated with radiohead before they suddenly released Kid A.

If you really want a thorough, unique breakdown of this album song by song there is an awesome podcast. Its called Dissect . Cole Kushna does an amazing job of breaking down lyrics, music and production. BTW im having fun listening to your reactions at work.
