MY FIRST TIME LISTENING TO RADIOHEAD-"KID A" FULL ALBUM REACTION-CavemanJack Reacts

Imagine Everything In Its Right Place being the beginning of your Radiohead journey. So intense

Your reaction to HOW TO DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY ---- so pure.

[@cavemanjack]

That song moved me so damm much

[@kathrynwalthall6818]

I use to listen to this album religiously, especially "how to dissappear completly" on the way to the hospital to see my dying dad for about a month.. this song is bitter sweet to say the least.

Jonny Greenwood arranged all the strings for this album and others, he's the lead guitarist. He did a phenomenal job.

[@onedone2011]

Nigel?

[@apollo_gen]

@@onedone2011 Nigel Godrich is their producer. Edit: Unless of course Nigel did the strings for this album.

[@FutureExitsMedia]

Definitely Greenwood doing the strings; he's also composed several film scores and was working with the BBC philharmonic.

[@apollo_gen]

@@FutureExitsMedia I've began listening to his scores, and I'm glad I did, he makes some really great stuff.

[@matthewsaul3533]

Yeah Jonny definitely arranged the strings. He did a LOT more than that. According to Thom the song Kid A was actually written by Jonny. Which means he probably did a LOT on that song, including playing the vocal melody with his Ondes Martenot which they ran Thom's voice through for that song. Yeah, Jonny did a lot on this album.

[@MellyGats]

Thank goodness you didn't leave this planet having only heard Creep. This band is just unspeakably talented. It's so mind-blowing.

weirdly enough, people tend to not like this album on the first listen, but its great that you liked it, not exactly an album to start with, but with this down, every other for you should be very easily digestable

Starting with KID A was so wild of you, but so much respect for you that you were able to listen to it critically! A lot of people find this one hard to digest, because it's so sonically trippy. Props, Jack!

Side note: There's an alternate version of Morning Bell on Amnesiac, and that version is very different. I think you'll enjoy it!

[@cavemanjack]

Thanks Loki! I had no idea what to expect, was so wild going through it and finding this incredible band! "How to disappear completely" is something else aye, such a moving song

[@elstink7412]

You're probably gonna see In Rainbows and Ok Computer a lot (amazing albums) but my personal favorite is their most recent album A Moon Shaped Pool, it holds such a special place in my heart because of it's topics. When I was in the roughest part of my life a couples months ago, that album was there and as cold and depressing as the album sounds sonically, I somehow found comfort in all the tracks, idk there was just something about it, wish I could listen to it for the first time again, a lot of fans say it's their most gorgeous album sound wise and I agree. 11/10

[@cavemanjack]

That's what is incredible about music it can be complete personal for people, and can take you back to certain points or help work through difficult patches! I definitely have albums like that so thank you for sharing!

I've always thought the most criminally underrated song on Kid A is "In Limbo". If you ever see live performances of that song (a few exist on line from them), that is a STUNNING piece of work in terms of ethereal timing.

Kid A is when I started to realize how immensely great Colin Greenwood is - the magical element he adds (and continues to build and expand). Not to mention really understand how great a composer Jonny is.

[@cavemanjack]

Just pure magic!

[@wasteghost]

Kid A is incredible, and the sound change from OK Computer is just as incredible, also every other Radiohead's album is incredible in its own way, each one is a journey

[@markjohnson4217]

I really appreciated that they didn't just do a sequel to OK Computer...which had been heralded as one of the most important genius works of that decade, along with Nirvana 'Nevermind', Pearl Jam, and Tool's Aneima. KID A had nothing in common with 'Ok', they took a whole new approach, and drew inspiration from German bleep minimalists such as NEU!, Kraftwerk, and Holger Zukay, allowing the guitars and basses to be a part of the electronic tapestry, instead of dominating with full chordal blocks that tend to dictate and lead the way of the harmonic arrangment in Rock composition. 'Paranoid Android' for example, was built entirely from the guitar chords and was probably written entirely on acoustic guitar. But with KID A, they made it very clear that they were creating an 'album' and the songs and production choices were carried out to serve the whole post-apocalyptic world of broken machines and broken people in an awkward alliance.

[@cavemanjack]

This was an excellent dive into the workings of Radiohead during their work on KID A. Thank you mark, I truly admire the courage they seemed to show when jumping to KID A, I haven't heard anything besides this and Pablo honey now but am super exited to hear the transitions between each album as I continue my journey through their projects.

[@PresidentHotdog]

You're going to be suggested OK Computer and In Rainbows a lot and they're both amazing. My personal favourite though is Hail to the Thief.

i had a friend listen to this album for (his) the first time. He immediately fell in love with it and listened to it 3 times in one day. He worked at a Top 40 radio station and had never experienced anything like it. I literally watched Kid A change a person's life.

Man, I've seen a lot of reactions from so many people, but believe me, this is one of the best.

I'd love to see you reacting to more Radiohead.

[@cavemanjack]

I appreciate that, thank you so much, it was a joy to listen to and to share it and have such engagement from lovers of Radiohead means a lot me! I never expected this kind of reaction man! will be diving into some more albums soon, not sure when but I will for sure

[@morningfog532]

Great reaction! Glad I found this hidden gem of a channel. You picked a challenging record for your first Radiohead experience. Kid A was an album I could not fully appreciate my first few listens - it was unlike anything I’d ever heard before and there’s a lot going on. It’s like a fine wine that gets better the more you listen to it. As others have mentioned, I would recommend The Bends (1995), Ok Computer (1997), and In Rainbows (2007) next. Personally, I feel it would provide more insight and context to start with the older albums first, to see their evolution. The abrupt shift Radiohead took in their sound from the more commercial-friendly OK Computer to the challenging, often bleak and anxiety/depression-ridden Kid A (no guitars whatsoever until the fourth track) sent shockwaves through the music industry, and Kid A remains probably one of the most contentious albums ever released to this day; some love it, some hate it.

[@cavemanjack]

Thank you so much Jordan! im gonna be heading into their earlier work soon and I can't wait! Such a refreshing sound that I have thoroughly enjoyed trying to process and dive into! appreciate your insight and thank you for checking out the reaction!

[@FutureExitsMedia]

Oh mate, what a first Radiohead album to listen to! Impressive that you dig it straight away, as a fan (and a guitar loving teenager) at the time going from Ok Computer to this was a honestly tough and if I'm being brutally honest it took me a few years to fully get what they're doing on this album, but now it's my favourite one, and it opened my eyes to other sonic possibilities in mainstream rock and elsewhere.

[@cavemanjack]

Once I get through the bends and ok computer I will start to see and understand how it must have felt for people going from these albums to kid A, So cool to hear that its now your fav

[@lokevoice]

Motion Picture Soundtrack reduced me to a quivering, bawling mess first time I heard it, glad it had a similar effect on you. My favourite Radiohead song and I don’t listen to it often to preserve that effect it has on me

[@vladislavkid141]

My 23 year old story of Radiohead loving began from Kid A. Which is kinda weird. Not Ok Computer (i was15 when it was released) but Kid A. Lots of people around me at the time thought i was a drug addict, because they thought no one in their right mind would listen to this kind of music. I was an author in russian version of New Musical Express magazine at the time, so it was hard to fight with those who adored new rock revolution with Strokes, Vines, White Stripes etc. But i fought bravely. They didn't even fire me. Now, 23 years later, i'm a screenwriter looking forward to direct my first tv-show and i hope i can use The National Anthem in most tense moment of the show. Kid A made me see music in a whole different way and i will forever be grateful for it. Greeting from Moscow.

I encourage another listen of Kid A. This time, on your own, laying down on your bed, closed eyes in a dark room. I like to think the album is split in two halves. Tracks 1-4, 5 is a palette cleanser for 6-10. Like you, Kid A was my first full album experience of RH & I didn’t know what to expect. It has become my fav album of all time. Loved the reaction!

I noticed that you have stated that you will listen to some Radiohead albums offline, but I REALLY would love to see you react at some stage to OK Computer (album before this one) and In Rainbows at the minimum. Definitely OK Computer, there is a reason it is so acclaimed. 'How to Disappear Completely' is one of my all time favourite songs, glad you appreciated it Each album is so different Cheers from South Australia

[@cavemanjack]

Cheers Brian! im super exited to check out OK Computer, how to disappear completely I believe will hold a special place for me for quite some time and will always take me back to this first reaction. Truly took me on an incredible journey. Thank you for watching mate!

[@averagespaceenjoyer6360]

In Rainbows or A Moon Shaped Pool would be amazing and I think you'd love both of those, they feel like yin and yang to each other musically even though they aren't related to each other in the slightest. Also Ful Stop from A Moon Shaped Pool is the most Radiohead type shit ever, that tracks one of their best imo

[@cavemanjack]

Im very interested in A Moon Shaped Pool so super keen for when I get to it!

[@carma3444]

In Rainbows! I fell in love with Radiohead 1995 and never stopped.

[@cavemanjack]

Hell yeah!

[@danielbutler2582]

Love to hear your take on Elbow. Build a Rocket boys! would be a great place to start.

[@cavemanjack]

Oooh never heard of them! Thanks Daniel

[@fakecubed]

Kid A came out of nowhere and just confused the crap out of us early fans. But it really grew on (most of) us, and it signaled definitively that Radiohead would not be easily nailed down. They would just keep evolving again and again. In retrospect, the signs were there as early as The Bends that they were going to be headed in this direction. And really OK Computer was their first "experimental" album, it just had enough rock in its sound as to convince people that they were still a rock band. But with each album, they're really just whatever they choose to be at that time, from classical to jazz to electronica and yes, even still rock when they want to be. They've forged their own path, and been hugely influential, and every new album drop since OK Computer has been a major event not just for fans but for music as a whole.

[@neolbioldey]

And I don't think it was supported by any singles right?

[@maelandre7073]

btw KID A is a nickname for a drum machine from rolland called the TR 505 which they used a lot

[@cavemanjack]

That's sick!

[@nunogoncalves1802]

easily the best reation to How to Disappear Completely I ever saw here. I'll "fight" anyone that doesn't consider this one the best Radiohead song, or at least to be in their top-3. Too bad it was edited and we couldn't see the full song reaction. Subscribed.

[@cavemanjack]

Thank you so much !

[@jameshannagan4256]

The sound landscape of this record is so incredible but you really should have really started from the beginning so you could have seen the quantum leap they took from album to album. Their journey was very Beatles-like that is the band I most compare them too. You missed the shock that this album caused I actually stopped listening to them for years after the album that came out after this one which was recorded in the same sessions. They pissed me off with this record because I wanted OK Computer part 2 and I got this I hated it. Years later after seeing the basement session for In Rainbows I revisited all their work and was stunned by how amazing their discography is needless to say I loved this record when I was ready for it. Radiohead is the only band that I love almost all their music and the handfull that I do not love I can still appreciate the ideas that went into it even their b-sides.

[@anthonyschoonderbeek6487]

I was the same. Why change from ok computer and the bends? But this what sets them apart. Will go down as the greatest jazz band of all time

[@MrMasrosh]

Great reaction... I will join u on your Radiohead journey .. from the start I have been with them .Radiohead is a part of me but similarly later on Tame Impala .. please do a similar journey with them.. you already started with Lonerism.. which is kinda similar to have started with Kid-A 😆. thanks..

[@ryanhawksley1779]

The journey of emotions that KID A can make you feel is unmatched. People might not enjoy this album because they don't understand it but I think that's the point of it. You're not suppose to understand it...you're suppose to feel it. Who else was completely left speechless at the ending of 'Motion Picture Soundtrack' with Thom Yorke's haunting vocals of "I will see you in the next life" Also, I highly recommend the album Music Has The Right To Children - Boards of Canada Trust me...

[@SelenaSea]

Seconding Ryan's Boards of Canada recommendation.

[@cavemanjack]

I really felt so many emotions and feelings throughout the listen, and part of me is glad I waited till now. Motion picture soundtrack, what a song!!! Thank you for your recommendation Ryan I will look into boards of Canada!

[@danmiller4601]

@@cavemanjack boards of Canada inspired Kid A. Amazing group.

[@craiger991gm]

I would give another plug for In Rainbows. It took me about a year to really start to appreciate that one. It was jsut so far ahead of its time that I had no context to listen to it at that time. I love it now though.

[@cavemanjack]

Very keen to check in rainbows out at some point soon :)

[@bigneon_glitter]

_Kid A_ was the _Nevermind_ of the 2000s, a major influence on the sound of the decade. Great reaction. More landmark albums for the _Kid A_ fan: Pink Floyd _Dark Side Of The Moon_ (1973) Slowdive _Souvlaki_ (1993) Suede _Sci-Fi Lullabies_ (1997) David Bowie _Low_ (1977) Depeche Mode _Black Celebration_ (1986)

[@cavemanjack]

Thank you so much for the watch and your comment, wow I have missed out on some landmark albums!

[@cliffhughes6010]

Good choices. Going off at several tangents, I certainly think you should listen to the anniversary editions of The Beatles White Album ( I could have chosen Sgt Pepper or Abbey Road) and Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix. Also Mezzanine by Massive Attack, Mingus by Joni Mitchell.

[@cavemanjack]

@@cliffhughes6010 So many projects that I haven't checked out! Thanks for sharing

I love seeing you take in Radiohead!!!!

That kind of reactions I had 21 years ago when I first listen this masterpiece. Great video!

[@cavemanjack]

Glad you enjoyed it! was so much fun

[@mozzer7748]

Great selected. This is a master piece. Underlines your musical skills. Thx! Now please go for The Smiths

[@cavemanjack]

Thank you so much! Someone introduced me to the Smiths last week and wow they really blew me away!

If you like video games, you might be interested to know that just last year Radiohead released the "Kid A Mnesia Exhibition" for FREE (!!) on PS5/Mac/PC, which is a walking simulator/visual representation of the sounds of Kid A and its follow-up album Amnesiac, based on the various artworks the band did around that era. If you've ever wondered what a playable visual representation of How to Disappear Completely would look like... it's a mindblowing experience and incredibly faithful to the whole dark/beautiful/surreal atmosphere of Kid A. I myself am not a gamer or anything but I easily lost an entire afternoon just wandering around and it actually increased my appreciation for the albums as a whole.

[@cavemanjack]

Now this is up my alley, I definitely need to check this out and I shall for sure! im so keen to check this out, thank you for letting me know!

[@timaustin77x]

It’s insanely good. Walking through on PS5 with good headphones was an experience for sure

[@m00d_fm]

My favourite Radiohead album. Great reaction.
