Don’t get me wrong. It’s far from their best work but I really wouldn’t consider it mid. Especially when it’s used to compare with pablo honey.

GHOSTS OF THE GREAT HIGHWAY IS PERFECT

[@echoes675]

I love the King of Limbs. Took me a while to come round to it but now I think it is one of their most daring albums. The live performance of the album from The Basement is phenominal! This is my favourite version of Bloom: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XQfWtpatZsitE

[@wendelinpanchard6235]

Lotus Flower is amazing on there

[@SURGASURGE12]

The album version of TKOL just doesn't do it for me. It just sounds so flat. Basement TKOL on the other hand, is one of the best things they've ever done, as far as I'm concerned. The tracks just come to life, as if they were designed to be played live.

[@derk486]

Genuinely dont know why people rank TKOL below pablo honey. Absolutely love TKOL.

[@KumoHs]

ppl hear it one time and never morr

[@augustokabobel03]

Tiene otra sensibilidad

[@beanxsplosher8789]

I’d really love to see you react to Thom Yorkes solo work. I’ve always thought that tkol is much more in line with his personal work, but often his projects feel a lot more fleshed out. The eraser is a personal favourite, and probably a good one to start with

[@Ausvwidabix2blorange]

my personal fav is Anima, and the eraser is also great!

[@SURGASURGE12]

The Eraser, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes and Anima all have some great stuff on it. My personal favourites include A Brain In A Bottle, Twist, Black Swan, The Mother Lode and Hearing Damage which isn't on an album.

[@seanlock688]

i come back to king of limbs live session from the basement at least couple of times a month, double percussion and brass section just makes me float

[@samstevenson5328]

Definitely The King of Limbs is back heavy! The 4 best songs on it. Codex kills me every time…. I HIGHLY recommend you to check out the bonus tracks such as The Daily Mail, Staircase, Supercollider and The Butcher. A sadly missed opportunity not to include them on that album

[@swafty5813]

I don't think The Daily Mail fits the records vibe but the rest for sure. I wish Yorke did more to flesh out the albums sound afterwards instead of going to the supergroup Atoms for Peace which butchers the vibes of TKoL imo. I think people overrate TKoL because regardless of the fanbases' favorite Radiohead record, the people just like the dopamine-rushed, blown out of proportion stuff but TKoL is not. It's my favorite RH record because it is super chill and is basically Yorke's best solo album. I mean, I love a good fucking crazy song like Paranoid Android, National Anthem, or my personal pick Cuttooth, but Radiohead fans ambitions get in the way and that's when they start to gate keep. Pablo Honey also used to be in that same headspace until everyone collectively agreed it is at least cringe.

[@ZakTheGuy]

OHHHH YEAH ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE RADIOHEAD: WORST TO BEST Hey Smags, during your reaction of Beach House's Bloom, you said at 9:00 you would do a Minecraft lets-play if the video got 300 likes. The video has 888 likes, yet for some reason I can't seem to find your Minecraft let's play (I would also accept a reaction/review of Hot Fuss from the Killers

[@vicho_8508]

the killers not that good

[@ZenixRulez]

you are the man a few recommendations: songs - Adrianne Lenker (folk, singer-songwriter) Ghosts of the Great Highway - Sun Kil Moon (folk rock, singer-songwriter, alt-country) SMILE :D - Porter Robinson (pop-punk, pop, electronic) Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)

[@francolaguzzi9128]

I might be weird but I actually really like feral, its easy to get lost to and I think its really cool how it keeps changing. Doesnt feel like radiohead at all, maybe more like some thom yorke solo stuff. Great video though as always

[@David-iv6je]

All the pieces are there on Pablo and the success of Creep gave them the freedom to branch out.

[@krono-or7nb]

the king of limbs is so good in my opinion. Little by little, give up the ghost and codex are some of my favourites by them edit 1: I think the cover for tkol is really good. it looks dark and grimy which compliments the way this album makes me think of a dark, damp af forest. which I suppose is a vibe I like personally Edit 2: pablo honey is just boring

[@carsonpuff6665]

Pablo Honey is… not great honestly. I enjoy it because it like that kind of 90s rock, but there really isn’t an essential track other than Creep. The King of Limbs is a beautiful record, truly misunderstood by Radiohead fans and newcomers.

[@juli3767]

i disagree, you and blow out are really good tracks

[@NineTo5Golf]

Blow Out would like a word. Maybe a top 3 most underrated Radiohead song

[@MaxLevinton]

TKOL GOATED, MY FAV

[@themadcow71]

King of Limbs is really good!

[@tobias7985]

King of Limbs Live From The Basement is so much better than the studio album

[@SURGASURGE12]

100% agreed.

[@swafty5813]

only because it sounds more like what people think Radiohead should sound like lol. It's kind of an inherently gate-keep kind of statement, but I think Live From the Basement is like the full bands interpretation of King of Limbs, because the album is basically Yorke solo material.

[@tobias7985]

@@swafty5813 I do not see how I am gate-keeping by recommending a unique live album I enjoy. I think that the more organic approach to the robotic, almost alien-like compositions creates a beautiful juxtaposition. Thats just me though, and it has nothing to do with how I "expect" Radiohead to sound like.

[@lajoiasensational]

You work so hard for us you deserve a raise

[@JpaulSinquefield]

Definitely tough albums to listen to back to back especially with the rest of their discography in mind

[@Snotboogie]

The King of Limbs is criminally underrated. Any chance you could react to their In Basement videos? It’d be cool to see you check them out live

[@chaosmos24]

You haven't heard The King of Limbs until you have heard their From the Basement performance of it. Transforms and elevates the material.

[@Apostatesmusic]

Lotus flower was my most listened song this year lol. Tkol is honestly one of my fav radiohead albums.

[@Neorigg]

The King of Limbs is my favorite radiohead album and possibly my fav album period

[@IloveBROCOLIS]

You have to react to more king crimson albums!! Beat, Three of a perfect pair, Starless and Bible black, In the wake of poseidon...

[@wesbanderson664]

if you do want to re listen to pablo honey, it might be worth checking out radiohead’s set at the astoria in 94’. most of the songs are in the set and they are some of the best renditions. lots more energy and some mind blowing guitar work from jonny.

[@ezequielgomez7657]

Great reaction! I highly recomend "in rainbows disk 2" if you want to keep discovering their discography

Lots of others have been reccing Ghosts of the Great Highway, and I’m also recommending it

[@pazuzu1]

holy shit double smags

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

Smags, are you thinking about covering Yorke's solo work ? His project with J. Greenwood, The Smile, had an amazing year with two albums, sort of repeating the Kid A/Amnesiac pattern. As for King Of Limbs, I think people mostly tuned out after the first couple of tracks and Feral, and skipped the rest. Not my favourite, but not deserving of such a bad reputation. Lotus Flower, Little By Little, and Give Up the Ghost certainly are up there for me.

[@_CoasterNinja]

TKOL has grown on me quite a bit as a Radiohead fan. Didn’t like it that much when first released, although Bloom blew me away the first time I heard it. Radiohead doing an electro-afrobeat track was something I wasn’t expecting and it just floored me on that first listen in 2011. The piano driven songs are some of my favourites from the band and Codex is an incredible piece of work, one of my favourites from them of that style. Lotus Flower is also the best pop song they’ve done since Karma Police, and one of Thom’s best vocal performances, also another favourite of theirs. Revisited the record and also the From The Basement performance again recently and now I have a new found appreciation for the entire album. Really dig all the crazy rhythmic stuff going on. It makes sense since everyone’s tastes change/evolve as they get older and listen to a lot more varied musical styles. Thanks for another great reaction!

[@ihate_5x108]

Listen to the TKOL from the basement performance and you’ll love the album. It completely changed my perspective on the whole thing, and I think I slightly different mix or a live sound would’ve helped the studio record out a lot.

[@chaosmos24]

"And if you think this is over then yo're wrong" Fans were convinced a second album was coming for months. TKOL pt. 2. "The album is too short!"

Smags spoiling us this Sunday evening Also you should do the other two albums from The Smile. Not as good as Wall of Eyes, but still great. If Wall of Eyes is like The Bends, the other two are like Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac in terms of quality

[@Repton0]

Hi potato44

[@steffinrobinson7869]

Certified Feral defender. I just think the drums go so hard, and lyricsare not a big focus for me when it comes to Radiohead. Also Pablo Honey is overhated. It's still their worst, but not as bad as other people make it out to be

[@Neorigg]

dude you’ve gotta check the live from the basement of this album, everything will come together!

[@reecewg2009]

Bloom has been a track that I didn't get off of a few listens, but the live version is such a trip. They get lost in the grooves. Also having two drummers live on the track adds so much depth.

I just recently discovered this channel, great work! This would probably be more appropriate in one of your My Bloody Valentine reactions, but I really think you’d enjoy listening to Future Perfect by the band Autolux. IMO it’s like a modern day successor to Loveless, even though it came out about 20 years ago lol

I won’t keep doing this, so this’ll be my last attempt; would love to watch you listen to North Atlantic oscillation - Grappling hooks

[@mr.noride7226]

I don’t like the first half of The King of Limbs, but some of the songs in the second half are pretty good, Codex in particular being my favorite from the album. Pablo Honey is more back and fourth in quality, but the last three tracks being my favorites other than Creep.

[@comeasurotmg8387]

Gonna keep recommending Ben Folds Five - The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner until it happens

[@mememan3799]

Holy shit a double scoop of mid let’s go

[@Klui_]

Pablo Honey is such an ok album, semi bad at worst, decent most of the time save for maybe its like opener... And then Blow Out gives you a glimpse of what Radiohead would truly become, such a standout track in an otherwise kinda unremarkable album, I really like it. And King of Limbs. No matter what anyone says, I hold it very dear to my heart and very high in my ranking. Took a bit to adjust for sure, but once I saw what it truly was (and got to the last bit) I realized just how good it could be. Last 4 songs especially just hit for me, incredible stuff and extremely underrated in Radiohead discussions imo. I don't think you'll do it on a video (though I would love if you did), but please check out KoL in the Basement, for me it's the realized vision of what the album should've been, plus a couple of extra tracks that I think are awesome, very much worth checking out!

[@lowelindberg3234]

you HAVE to check out the MTV beach house performance of 'anyone can play guitar'. Trust me its an all time classic also i'd higly recommend listening to the basement version of TKOL, might be their best work of all time imo also nr2 pls react to more king krule :)

[@BenjaminDuran-db3zh]

Your reactions are great man always looking forward to it I MASSIVELY recommend the album : Galore by oklou. One of my fav albums oat really ambient, medieval, and just great man idk

[@alex11v3]

The King Of Limbs is their best album after the holy trilogy(Ok Computer, Kid A and In Rainbows). Also, Feral sounds WAYYY better live. The moment you listen to the basement version of this album you simply can't listen to the original the same way

[@bjoern_kd79]

Yo la tengo - painful would be amazing!

[@cursedsk1y]

Please do the album LITTLE BUSTERS by The Pillows next! Some other recs: Happy Bivouac by The Pillows (they are both top tier j-rock/grunge albums) I recommend starting with LITTLE BUSTERS though. HIGHVISION and Three Out Change by Supercar (both are great j-rock albums. HIGHVISION is indietronica, and Three Out Change is shoegaze) Everything Will Be Alright In The End by Weezer (great comeback album for weezer with some of their best songs to date) Mesmerize and Hypnotize by System of a Down (phenomenal double metal album with more melodic elements than their previous works with some of their best songwriting yet)
