Radiohead - Lucky REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@alexshadowfax1119]

A much more accessible Radiohead song finally gets requested and guess what, he likes it.

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

I assumed he'd hate it for how mellow it is. I kind of want him to respond to The Tourist, just to see him hate on a song that I love so much. Like that's not a cool thing to feel, but something about me just wants to see how he'd tear into it, because I LOVE the pacing of that one, especially as the conclusion to the album.

[@jameshannagan4256]

@@ExileOnDaytonStreet I think he would like it it is a great conclusion to a great album.

[@reinerbraun2934]

How has he not done Exit Music yet.

[@alexshadowfax1119]

@Joe let down is amazing, I would hope he'd be able to appreciate the layering and intricacies, along with the beautiful melody.

[@memetherapy]

@@ExileOnDaytonStreet I have a feeling a lot of their songs are thrown onto albums because of how they flow for the album experience. Look at TKOL and how they left off The Daily Mail and Staircase, 2 songs that might have been the best singles off that album had they been on. I agree I kind of enjoy watching him be like "wtf is this" sometimes. His reaction to Bloom was entertaining and authentic, and honestly, I think I probably had a similar reaction the first time I heard it. Now I love it, but if you're a Radiohead stan, you really push through forcing the acquired taste. Some other tracks that might have a similar effect... Motion Picture Soundtrack or Like Spinning Plates or Kid A. For me some of the best songs ever, but as first listens, they might be a little out of the box, and annoying, if that's not your jam.

[@strangemachines_]

This and “How to Disappear Completely” are for me Radioheads two masterpieces.

[@alanshek9129]

Great song and probably the greatest album in the past 30 years

[@Gazza100786]

A masterpiece of an album. I've listened to this album countless amounts of times.

[@lukelarsson]

It always worries me when you do a song from Ok Computer. It’s my favorite album of all time and I want to protect it like it’s my child. 🤣 I hope you don’t hurt my child, David. Ok, let’s see how this review goes. Update: Thank you for being nice to my beautiful baby. All joking aside, it’s amazing that after 25 years and thousands of listens, this album gives me goosebumps every time I put it on. Music is amazing!

[@Mehwei]

I watch all your Radiohead reactions . Thanks for the explanation about the chords. I am not musical by any means so it’s interesting to hear their music explained by someone who knows music.

[@lk-music]

I'm same, even though I've been playing instruments since childhood, I didn't study music so don't have the ability to listen to a song and figure its progression. I assume having perfect pitch helps, and I don't have that. I've played Lucky on piano for years and I still couldn't tell you the chord progression in terms of root, fifth, second, etc…, haha. All I know is it starts E minor and the rest is locked into procedural memory.

[@PuppetWithPerception]

I love the honesty. It gives authenticity to your opinion. Don’t ever change! In your opinion Radiohead may occasionally try and fail however it is better than being bland.

[@ashraffaridharis5570]

I'm in a rock bland

[@dreww1609]

"Lucky" is such a great song. It is a delight to play those chords on an acoustic and 'attempt' to sing along, just pure joy. I think the way you have handled your RH reactions has been genuine and insightful - anyone who can't track with you - and this is for sure my favorite band for 20+ years. On an album of incredible songs throughout this one always stood out to me and was the first song that I was in love with immediately.

[@Elis_Nordgall]

Hell yeah. This song's beautiful, my favourite from OK Computer together with Paranoid Android. Edit: weehoo, he like song

[@Dougmolls]

We’re all so blessed to have grown up With this music. Amazing.

[@toryhunterbooks]

I like that you don't like every Radiohead song because when you do like one I know it's authentic. Plenty of reaction channels fall in love with every single song they listen to and it's hard to enjoy knowing they're faking it.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

FEELIN' YOU Tory!!! One of the main reasons I started this channel, I'm going to be 100% honest in my reactions and reviews.

[@Titter2]

100% Radiohead is one of my favorite bands, yet there are some songs that I just can't listen to. They have such a diverse library that I don't think there is anyone out there who likes ALL of their songs, but people like to pretend...

[@MaikKellerhals]

I think nobody likes EVERY Radiohead Song, but everybody will find at least one or two they like. They are just very versatile

[@toryhunterbooks]

@@JonathanRodriguez-il7xs Some reaction channels act like every song they hear is the greatest song of all time.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

@@toryhunterbooks And they'll even say it. "OH MY GOD THIS IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER!!!"...until the next video where they'll say the exact same thing. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V.

[@kimbervoss3753]

Haven't even watched the review part yet, but would like to say you keep doing you!! I come here to get your pov, not to confirm my own or to cry about whether or not you like something or not. RH fans can be tough. It's ridiculous, but thankfully we are not all like that.

[@heighleybaily8037]

Radiohead were always marmite for me, but as I get older, I appreciate them more and more. This song being a prime example

[@RSfandude]

Love the ending of this song, this album is a masterpiece prob their best

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Beautiful thing about this song: there are keyboards in it, but it might not be the sounds you're thinking of. (Or maybe you are... hard to say) That high pitched oscillating sound is Ed O'Brien strumming his guitar above the nut, and playing that through a series of effects pedals, plus a wah. Jonny Greenwood plays a keyboard on a synth effect that sounds sort of like a choir (what you hear during the second verse), which he also uses when they're playing that mellow section in Paranoid Android (and a few others).

[@PresidentHotdog]

Melotron. It works on little tapes of actual recorded choirs

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

@@PresidentHotdog That's the thing!

[@Music-tg5is]

I like your Radiohead reactions, even when you don't like them, since you always explain your reasons why in a clear and informed manner.

[@brunosm.l2267]

I think you've done Radiohead mostly from the Hail to the Thief album onwards. this '97 album (which is consider a classic) is the last rock (may be alternative but i mean more rocky) they did.

[@brunosm.l2267]

From this album Paranoid Android official version for sure

[@jameshannagan4256]

@@brunosm.l2267 He already did it a long time ago when the channel was pretty new.

[@brunosm.l2267]

@@jameshannagan4256 yeah that's why i said official version

[@Torthrodhel]

Instant favourite this song, when I first got the CD, which was the first CD I got of theirs. Still a favourite, long-term fan since. :) Love your channel priorities and right there with you on it being more interesting to experience stuff you don't necessarily like as well! And yeah some Radiohead fans can definitely be overbearing and ask silly questions, I've seen that before lol.

[@impek667]

It's such a great song!!! I love radiohead

[@kimbervoss3753]

I'm not sure where to post suggestions, but given your complex history with RH, I'd love to suggest "sail to the moon." Not for why one would think, though. On a personal level, its my guess that you would probably dislike it very much (though I've been surprised before on this channel) what I would be interested in the most would be watching you work out all of the time changes and the marriage of the personal vs. Intellectual feelings about the song as a whole..

[@andreaspedersen3952]

After this? The tourist.. an absolute favourite and the perfect ending to a great album.

[@jameshannagan4256]

Climbing Up the Walls is an album track in that it sets up the mood and the next song it might be my favorite moment in the album just that juxtaposition in the flow of the album on a record that like almost all their albums is meant to be listened to as a whole. I love your Radiohead reactions you understand music and you are honest please do not change.

[@PuppetWithPerception]

Would love to see a review of Radiohead - Myxomatosis (Live at the Fuji Rock Festival 2012).

[@HominidInterneticus]

Holy sht, a hundred and three time changes? that's nuts. I gotta listen to that Dream Theater song sometime. How many hours would that take you to break down, I wonder.. RH's Climbing the walls fits in the context of this album, which this song is also part of. I wouldn't call it a stand alone hit like paranoid android was, and I probably wouldn't listen to it like that. Your reaction to it made sense. There's nothing you should apologize for. This song you're reacting to is the last or penultimate track. And helps taper off the highs an lows of the album. This is what I like about this and the following kid a, and amnesiac albums. They feel like concept albums meant to be listened in one sitting from the 1st to last track. And in my head Ok computer is a movie and a sequel to Pink Floyd's dsotm. Or the legitimate heir to it. However you want to categorize it

[@Matt2010]

Climbing up the Wall 😆 I like the song but yea got to have ear for it.

[@KylieIsOverIt]

"Ladies and gentlemen: We got him." 🤣😂

[@TB_2006]

You should listen to Electioneering which is off the same album as this. It's a bit more 'hard hitting' than most Radiohead songs, so I think you would like it.

[@MovedbyTruth]

Masterpiece.

[@JonGretarB]

Hey. One thing you should check out why Rammstein is a mega professional band. The show that triggered them to get a professional fire crew. “Rammstein - Heirate Mich live in Der Arena 1996”

[@chocofernandez25]

So, it was a glorious day, whadda you know

[@amirashraf805]

Very good reaction.👍👍👍👍. Can you react to Let Down? The same album with this song.

[@jonathandufern7421]

Its called being Progressive. Why I love Ween, Primus Moody Blues, Pink Floyed etc

[@darensparks]

Wow I really thought you were gonna hate this. I am very happy to see the exact opposite reaction from you David!

[@ernestoflores1219]

listen to my iron lung or nice dream of radiohead 👍🏻

[@jayblakeslee1142]

Oysterhead - mr. oysterhead……do it

[@Straaaayyyy]

Yeah, I understand why you give low scores for some radiohead songs. They like to experiment too much doing wierd stuff, it took so long for me to really love this band.

[@z9blitz532]

Radiohead is probably the least formulaic band I’ve ever heard at least from kid a onwards

[@veevamm3642]

SO EXCITED. love this song so very much...... i love your reactions even if you dont like the band. damn i love this song and Radiohead. im a mega fan......

[@declancoyle3673]

Great stuff Keep up the good work!! Would you consider Liam Gallagher, everythings electric?

I gotta keep fun trolling mate ;)

[@walterlippmann6292]

heavy pink floyd vibes on this one

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

It's interesting because I consider this to be one of the weakest songs on the album. Let down, homesick subterranean alien, and airbag are arguably the best tracks on the album. Obviously music is subjective, but it's interesting to see how opinions differ.

[@halfalligator6518]

i agree. I'd even consider Ok Computer not all that interesting next to some of the work they've done since. I mean it's a classic and it's an important album... it's just I don't go back to it nearly as much as all the albums since. Maybe I wore it out as a teenager not sure. I never tire of In Rainbows, or Kid A or even Moon Shaped Pool.

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

@@halfalligator6518 I actually didn't like Moon Shaped Pool. Maybe I need to give it another listen. OK Computer is my favorite, then In Rainbows. Even though I definitely wore out OK Computer as a teenager, it's still one of my favorite albums of all time. I just love the galactic soundscapes they created.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

This is one of the weaker tracks on Ok Computer for me... which shows you why it's a masterpiece cause this song is fantastic.

[@Neorigg]

One of my least favorite Radiohead songs

[@springer90]

Radiohead is one of the most overrated bands, they're the drizzling shitz!

[@hieutruong7456]

Pffffft

What music do you like? I'd like to know the standards by which you're judging

[@luxetveritas9196]

No they're not.

[@memetherapy]

As a big Radiohead stan, these are always my favorite takes. I'm not even being sarcastic. Radiohead hate is always a breath of fresh air.
