My favorite part about OK Computer is that it’s basically a never-ending loop. We begin with Airbag, where he sings about being in a car accident in which an airbag saved his life… and we end with The Tourist, where Thom repeats the line “hey man, slow down” before the final, distinct bell note at the end, signifying the sudden “crash”. It’s quite genius, really.

my good friend passed away two days ago, this album has been one of the only things keeping me afloat, let down especially. hearing you mention how many people have affiliated it with difficult times in their lives and have used it to help them get out of it really hit me hard, since it's pretty much what i'm doing now lmao. the line about growing wings in let down has sort of a dual message now that she's passed; like she grew her wings and left this planet, but also that i will grow stronger from this experience and grow wings after this let down of a weekend. i might be crushed like a bug in the ground now, but it won't be a let down forever. or maybe i'm just being cheesy

[@nineofive.2573]

One of the most inspiring albums of all time in my opinoin. The fact that they shined a light on how distopian our society is at times and still somehow show beauty through the melancholy with there insane arangments is insane. What an album I hope you do more.

[@theblackowl555]

I second this and agree with your popular opinion. Radiohead really did pull the curtains and show how shitty our dystopian society can be whilst simultaneously and melancholilly (don't care if that's not a word, it is now) show beauty. It's wonderful. Sorry for the spamming. Fixing some mistakes. 🖤🖤

[@0n31ric]

@@RAEVLOS the bigger question is what about in rainbows dont you like? its fucking perfection.

[@RAEVLOS]

@Finn Bilham as music though?? Idk, things dont become masterpieces just because they're weird and different. The reality is that it's completely personal and subjective. I don't really care that much for lyrics and story if I don't like the music being played. I can totally respect it though as well as respect others opinion on it, and I'm just curious on what other people like about it specifically. The story? Vocals? Guitar? Rhythm? Harmony? Edit: all of them? 😂

[@whdgk95]

​@@RAEVLOS The hype. Think about how little music is valued in western or eastern education system. It's obvious that vast majority of people don't know anything about music. Neither its history nor theory. Then they get exposed to music with preconceptions, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Radiohead is "good music," and whatever the previous generation didn't like is "bad music." Most people can't even describe what they like or dislike about an album, just look at the comment above you. "It's fucking perfection," that means absolutely nothing LMAO. Frivolous statements like that from sheep accumulate and create this hype and narrative. It's all just monkey business.

[@RAEVLOS]

@JHM bro you are Reading my mind, exactly what I've been thinking after listening to all those three you mentioned 😂😂 Beatles Pink Floyd and Radiohead. Beatles I nearly didn't like any of, from pink floyd I actually LOVED Time and Money, but no others. And Radiohead I actually think is pretty good, but vastly overrated..

I love that you're using your channel to explore so many genres of music! The closest a modern album has gotten to the feeling of first listening to Radiohead or any pre-2000s rock would be "Ants From Up There" by Black Country New Road. If you hadn't heard it already, I would highly recommend it!

[@ayamurayama3961]

Most unexpected reaction that we needed

[@javaan5650]

This album was so ahead of its time and had so many great moments from all of airbag (imo), the synths at the end of paranoid android and climbing up the walls, the last pre-chorus and chorus of Let Down (their best song imo) and the nostalgic and dystopian feeling of No Surprises. So happy I get to relive my first reactions to this album through you and Its so cool that after discovering the best rapper of all time, you discover the best band of all time. Can't wait for In Rainbows!!

[@pathreacts]

thank you-this warmed my heart

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Not only one of the greatest albums of all-time, but one of the best concept albums ever made. Loved it the first time through and was enthralled. Let Down is one of the greatest songs ever written, the lyrics sound like a death bed confession. So purely hopeful while at the same time, so pessimistic- a perfect melancholy. It was a little depressing at the same time, knowing they couldn't make something as great as OK Computer again. Radiohead was decades ahead of their time with this album. On a side note, this is my first time watching your reactions and you are so incredibly insightful, not only in the literal interpretation of them but also on a secondary and deeper level; stuff I never would have thought of. I would compare your highly logical, objective analysis to a Sheldon Cooper but who also has an empathy and emotional knowledge that's fully developed. Love how you layer your narration over the video- makes it quite profound and intelligent. You bring something new, insightful and heartfelt to some of my favorite songs and give a new point-of-view. Thank you for your time and effort and sharing your talents.

[@Nutie98]

Stumbled upon your channel randomly, I really like the effort you put into these reaction videos and your honest transparency when reacting, really super cool! And your intro for this video took me back to how I discovered Radiohead; as a kid in my grandma's basement with my godfather, he was on a MacOS like this and made me listen to track after track via expensive headphones he worked really hard to buy, I'll be honest at the time (and with how young i was) i didn't really get what I was listening to but yeah i don't know, your intro just took me right back to those autumn days in that time in early 2000 where the world was the same and yet so different. I'd love to see you react to Kid A, Amnesiac, In Rainbows or (one of my favorites) Hail to the Thief.

[@idontgetthejoke7974]

One of the best indie rock records ever penned. Such an amazing piece of music. One thing radiohead did exceptionally well that people don't discuss as much, is arrangement. They are so goddamn good at arrangement. Placing everything exactly where it needs to be in the mix, pacing, adding or subtracting instruments. They really get the maximum emotional mileage out of every little note. The build and break on Let Down for example is a fucking masterclass in arrangement.

[@JustAJauneArc]

Bittersweet is the strongest emotion I get from this album. edit: 20:23 you mentioning you listening to "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age tells me you should REALLY check out their album Songs for the Deaf. I wouldn't say they're an underrated band (anyone that knows them knows they're pretty damn good), more like a band that doesn't get talked about enough for how consistently solid their discography has been across their career.

[@Remedy462]

Songs For The Deaf is probably my most played concept album of all time. I'm actually shocked it has overtaken Pink Floyd's Animals and Nine Inch Nails The Downward Spiral. It's such a good album.

One of my favorite albums of all time.

I wouldn't say changed the game... it stands on the shoulders of alot that was done before it.

[@AB-sw4kb]

The King of Limbs has a reputation of being "le funny dance music album" because of the Lotus Flower music video, but it's actually a study in minimalism, nature, and vital life forces like breath and rhythm. The album's title refers to a big, ancient tree in England called The King of Limbs. Like that tree, the album sounds like something coming out of some forest druid's ritual. "Separator" starts very lifeless, mechanical, and artificial, with a repeating machine producing an electronic Bb note on a perfect loop, only to open up to the human element of guitar improvisation, singing, and chanting. It's such a misunderstood album.

Welcome to the Radiohead rabbit hole, we hope you will enjoy the stay.

I listened to this album during one of the busiest weeks of my life, caught up between moving to college immediately after a week long experience at NASA Langley. When flying back, there was a 4 hour layover that was supposed to only be 30 minutes and everyone I had met had left before me. So, stuck in a vacant airport, staring out a window with raindrops tricking down I found this to be my favorite album of all time. Believe me when I tell you that the setting you are in can completely change how an album feels. The resolve that comes with "The Tourist" is unmatched, and it was a perfect embodiment of how life felt. So sitting back, closing your eyes, and enveloping in the song makes complete sense, it's transcendental.

[@starkillerx2020]

I've always loved Radiohead for their experimentations, especially in A Moon Shaped Pool and Kid A. true masterpieces and I always revisit them

I always loved as a child, listening to what my dad listened too. And after years and years of my life and getting more and more into music, I stumbled across radiohead and listening to all the albums made me have such strong nostalgia over it because it's the same music my dad loved so long ago. And is now my top artist cause of how simply amazing the music is

[@ala0284]

Probably the best album of the last… 40 years? Generation-defining. Paranoid Android is one of the greatest songs ever written and Let Down arguably the most beautiful piece of music ever released

[@AgnusDei695]

ever released? nope, not at all

[@ART_IS_EVERYTHING]

most beautiful piece of music? you are joking, i hope, radiohead are great for rock band, but nothing they made deserves to be considered among pinnacle of music of all time

[@SinopsisLovesYou]

@@ART_IS_EVERYTHING art is subjective.

[@PersonCalledErin]

Ive never seen your channel or vids before but this was awesome. I LOVED seeing your passionate reactions to this beautiful album and the editing is so nice and well done and everything is so pleasant. Are you going to go through their discography in order? Its so good! Theyre my favorite band. My favorite off of Ok Computer is definitely No Surprises. It is one of the only songs and maybe the first song that has really made me cry. (The other 2 that come to mind are also radiohead songs. Lmao) I relate so deeply and personally to the message of being tired, too tired to fight and just wanting to rest. Not even wanting to die, most people dont really want to die, even with depression. Just. No alarms, no surprises. Please. ❤❤ very good video

[@pathreacts]

i’ll do Kid A & In Rainbows in the future!

[@PersonCalledErin]

@path reacts ooo cool! My personal favorite album is A Moon Shaped Pool, but In Rainbows is a close second. Kid A is legendary as well though :) I hope you enjoy them!

[@pedroedsos]

@@pathreacts Should do The Bends first, which was immensely praised before OK Computer. As a matter of fact, to many it is debatable between those albums which one is better. Some will say the debate instead involves Kid A, but that is more because of the new direction taken rather than overall or track-by-track comparison. From your reaction I bet you will like the starting tracks of Amensiac: the first is a masterpiece of complex layers, the second is THE masterpiece of simplicity. In Rainbows is mostly sweet and that's why many people mention it. I would do it chronologically if I were you, it will make you understand the evolution better. I envy you for having the chance of listening to these albums for the first time, I wish I could do it again. I would also recommend Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun. Your reaction style is quite original, subscribed.

[@tyoberg]

Love your take on this. Keep on the good work.

[@shardulnikam9322]

Let Down ❤️ Loved your reaction to it especially the part where it transitions

[@notillusion7133]

my favourite song on this album is definitely Climbing Up The Walls. It just feels so terrifying and hopeless, and thoms high note in the chorus is so addicting to listen to

[@JakeJupiter]

Probably my favorite of their work, tied with A Moon Shaped Pool.

[@moonlitegram]

The way you presented and formatted this reaction was very well organized and polished. Really nice job. Its funny that sequencing gets mentioned a number of times when discussing this album as one of the things that made me immediately fall in love with this album was just how perfectly it seemed sequenced to me. I think all the songs follow each other perfectly.

[@theblackowl555]

I'm not wearing my dirty crown made of barbed wire when I watch her. I completely agree with you.

[@Slapclapcom]

Going to be listening to Let Down all week now. A great gift. Thank you!

[@kay_nanika]

Weird Fishes is on In Rainbows, my personal favorite album from them. Its much more brighter in tone but still diverse in sound. ❤

[@vickjr98]

Oh yeah In rainbows is definitely their warmest album. I consider IR and OKC 1a and 1b, both just really brilliant pieces of art

[@joshuatealeaves]

I used to be behind Bandstand. When I sold the channel a few months back I hopped onto my personal here & had to resub to all the channels I watched. You somehow fell through the cracks. Not only did you show up in my recommended you made a video on my fav band!!!! LETS GO!! Resubbed and ready for this ♥️ Kid A 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@pathreacts]

hi josh :) welcome back

[@Borg.Dorg.]

I’m a huge Radiohead fan and it’s really cool see someone listen and get it for the first time. Your lyrical analysis is great too. I’d love to see more Radiohead albums. Also Thoms solo projects are incredible.

[@matthewyang3800]

I've been waiting for this

[@kouph137]

Just work your way through the rest of their albums in sequence and you’ll have the ride of your life. Best band of all time. So versatile and always reinventing themselves.

[@jameshoward-white2288]

I really enjoyed your reaction to Ok Computer. You picked up on a lot of the nuances for a first listen. Your intro also captured the album very well... For added context, 1997 was a time of change. The internet was in its formative years. Pagers and mobile phones, emails were just becoming commonplace. There was a very real chance society might collapse due to a 'Millennium Bug'. The anxiety of "Where is this all going" is (I think purposefully) encapsulated by the album... And now, with Covid, Brexit, corruption and AI, the album feels as significant as it did in 1997.

[@vurogj]

So much this, the sheer speed of change in the very fabric of (western) society, and the acceleration of that change as new technologies gained traction in the way people lived their lives was huge and unpredictable. Thom nailed so much of it with his lyrics, and the music and arrangements encapsulate and showcase it incredibly well. A "mood" before that word even gained it's current usage.

[@eidurj]

Great reaction, love the train of thought reflective comments in the middle of the songs. Subscribed

[@magicalmond6979]

oh its you again! always a great day when you upload. very excited for this video - Radiohead is awesome. i hope you're well and that you make time for yourself.

[@benisblunt7]

You need to check out Kid A by Radiohead, its always been a debate whether Kid A or Ok Computer was their masterpiece. I'm with Kid A all the way. Its a very haunting listen with what I believe to be one of the most gorgeous songs ever released (How to disappear completely).

[@pedroedsos]

Not really. You coulde also find debates involving Amnesiac or In Raiobws, even some people throw their latest albums in there. The most debated is between The Bends and OK Computer. Kid A is notable because of the let's-do-it-completely-different attitude, but overall and track-by-track is inferior to the two predecessors.

[@benisblunt7]

@Pedro Santos really?? The Bends has never been in question in debates I see/involve myself in. Its a amazing album. But I don't think I've ever seen that argument. I can understand a moon shaped pool/in Rainbows being debated over, but I don't think it's an as frequent argument. At least from what I've seen Edit: although, the Bends would also be a great reccomendstion.

[@ianward2120]

Seconding the Kid A recommend. It is also my favorite. (although, when it comes to Radiohead albums "my favorite" is the one i am listening to right now.. excepting maybe the first two albums.) Also, for (How to disappear completely) it is interesting to keep in mind that this is Thom's favorite Radiohead song.

[@ghostplace]

I love your reactions, its so refreshing not seeing someone pause and judge a song 5 seconds in, but instead sit and really feel the music, thank you! these videos are amazing 🙌
