[@stephencrowley3939]

It's only one song, actually called Weird Fishes/Arpeggi. Certain Radiohead songs are much easier on first listen, eg most of their pre- Kid A stuff. Their stuff from 2000 onwards is just as good, but it is often not as immediate.

[@TheRubenMar]

That was my experience with this song too, now is one of my favorites of the album

[@bthagan]

Your playlists are missing out 🙂 Absolutely my favourite Radiohead song ever... It is a major grower to be sure...

[@kide9747]

The whole album In Rainbows is one of their best work and worth a listen. Very dreamlike and melancholy soundscape

[@declancoyle3673]

It's tough to do a first listen on Radiohead, you do need to listen to theirs songs more than once to enjoy the song. But you always give a good honest review!! Keep it up👍

[@Mehwei]

This song starts, and without even realizing it, I am totally zoned out, my mind is cleared, my body is relaxed….then SNAP at the break I’m like oh sh*t I just missed my exit

[@bgp_sammy]

David your reactions are pure and honest … that’s why we keep coming back… we are desperate to impress you haha

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Radiohead has already impressed me several times.

[@maiqtheliar_]

Yes!! I was waiting for this!! Thanks for reacting! Song gets better everytime you listen to it.

[@memetherapy]

I know we all sound pretentious saying you can't appreciate it on the first listen, but I'm the biggest Radiohead groupie, and honestly, every new album isn't super enjoyable on first listen. I mean, I think a lot of music works that way, but Radiohead really really push that grower angle. There's simply too much unpredictable stuff going on at once (weird sounds, strange time signatures, layers on layers, etc) and the climax typically happens once in a song. A lot of bands have 1 climax... I mean its the climax... but most music depends on hooks (a cool riff, a catchy melody, a funky rhythm groove)... Radiohead, especially post OKC Radiohead, focused on making songs where all the pieces are there to support the overall feel and climax of the song. Sometimes it never clicks and it'll never be your cup of tea. But even for almost all Radiohead fans, we don't typically love the song on first listen. We've simply loved a few of their songs and then knowing the payoff, we trek through and really force ourselves to learn the songs hoping we'll "get it". This isn't a Radiohead only thing, but they really push that far. Radiohead is my favorite band of all time, but any White Stripes or Led Zep or Pink Floyd album will probably be more enjoyable on first listen than any Radiohead album (especially everything after OKC) would be. I actually love seeing a musicians' analysis and subjective opinion of songs regardless of the outcome. People that get all pissy judging you are being stupid. I bet they forget that they probably didn't enjoy most songs until they gave themselves Stockholm Syndrome and listened to it at least 5-10 times. And there a thousand other super talented bands which they never got into. Keep up the honest reactions. Keep doing them Radiohead songs. It's always a good time. And I hope you get into some more Portishead songs too. I'm kind of into English head bands, what can I say.

[@Music-tg5is]

Yeah, most of my favourite Radiohead songs were "growers". Radiohead in general are more of a "grower" band than an "instant banger" type of band.

[@wozzab9136]

Absolutely love this song. Was lucky enough to see Radiohead back in 2017 at Old Trafford in Manchester and this was the highlight for me. Stunning

[@darensparks]

Love this song , and especially love Ed's harmonies.

[@borisperez4650]

Thanks for reacting to my recommendation and your honest opinion. I'd must confess that this song is a grower, but I love it so much. Cheers mate!

[@Dragonpuncher123]

When I first listened to started listening to In Rainbows way back when Weird Fishes really wasn’t one of the songs that stood out of the album. There very so many other heavy hitters like 15th Step, Reckoner and Jigsaw Falling into Place, but slowly and surely this song creep in on me and became one of my favorite Radiohead songs of all time. The arrangement is simply amazing.

[@franblaze1866]

believe me, this is a song that grows a lot (as most of radiohead's songs) when I listened to this song to the first time, it was nice, but it didn't blow my mind. It took me like 4 times to like the song as I like now, now, for me, it's a incredible song

[@jameshannagan4256]

It has such a great vibe it actually sounds like water or little waterfalls if I close my eyes and listen.

[@irishpaul3129]

In my top 5 Radiohead tracks - but, to be fair to David, it probably didn't hit me until the third or fourth listen. The musicianship is fantastic as usual with the From the Basement.

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Jonny's backwards looped samples in the coda are a joy

[@iJohnnyJB]

Thanks for the review! As others have mentioned, this song takes 3-5 listens to really appreciate it. It was always an OK song for me but then after seeing them play it live, and giving it a few more listens, it really grew on me. Hope you’ll give it a few more deep listens 🤞🏼

[@caros4734]

The more you hear Weird Fished the more you will grow to love it. Fantastic song brilliantly written and performed.

[@sammalla5238]

Videotape from the same album & same session is absolute must too Love your genuine feedback & reactions man Never change

[@danzargy]

I guarantee you that the people that called you “not a real musician” are the same people who picked up an instrument and gave it up a week later. You’ll always be way more of a musician than those hypocritical mouth breathers Dave! I love Radiohead a-lot, they rekindled my love for music, but my god, the fan base has some of the most pretentious people on the face of the Earth.

[@reinerbraun2934]

Aphex Twin fans are the most pretentious people on earth. Radiohead have a very vocal minority of pretentious fans but most love a lot of different kinds of music. Aphex Twin fans are fucking insane and have some sort of god-complex where every other type of music is beneath them.

[@jameshannagan4256]

A few bad apples like any popular band would have most of them are respectful enough.

[@david_ii11]

How about the arpeggi, running through the song from beginning to end? How about the way the notes are distributed between the right and left channels, so the melody seems to bounce back and forth?

[@ericflaherty4668]

Thom rockin the "my 3 year old just got out of bed" haircut here. Literally my son has the same hair 😆

[@n.ringheim7720]

I feel you, I wasn't that attracted to the song the first five listens either, but then it got a hold on me, just like so many other Radiohead songs, especially from ther basement sessions. Many other good songs are on the in the basement, like staircase,lotus flower, separator ...

[@vallie84]

I love the final part of this song, it's like I'm in the water and suddenly I find myself in the darkest abyss.

[@geirgaseidnes7809]

"I don't know how I feel about this one" - me, on any Radiohead song, after the first time I hear it.

[@robertoferraz8857]

Weird fishes/arpeggio it's just one song. The title combines two older song that they wrote in the past and mix up in a single song

[@Fatrickswayze17]

Jonny Greenwood is the most underrated musician on earth

[@kimbervoss3753]

All I can say is that when I listen to RH, I feel as if Salvatore Dali has taken his paintbrush and is creating a masterpiece on my brain..its just so musically interesting, and I connect with it emotionally as well..so it's a win win..with all of this being said, I can totally see and understand why many people don't..

[@diegocorrea611]

I think I speak for everyone when I say we all had the same bad reaction on first listen, and then it became everyone's favorite

[@silverseto1158]

Huge Radiohead fan, there have been a couple times when you legitimately disliked a Radiohead song, I think you even weren't able to finish listening to one of them before, and it was kinda tough. But on the occasions when you did like a song that I also enjoy, it's pretty cool. But it's only pretty cool though, because I know you're being honest, it's worthless if I think you might be lying for views. Even songs that you don't like I enjoy hearing your thoughts on. Your taste and mine have some overlap, but is on the whole pretty different, which is actually better than if we had the exact same taste. I's not that interesting to hear someone say exactly the same things I feel already. It's a good chance to see how different people perceive music. There have even been times when you liked a song that I've loved for years, but for completely different reasons, and it made me hear the song a little differently. That's pretty cool too. Just keep doing what you're doing, you've got a pretty unique channel here.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

FEELIN' YOU Silver!!!

[@jameshannagan4256]

Great post

[@SodomaMuikku]

When the album came out back then, I didn’t like this song much. Nothing really happened in it. The same problem was with Let Down when I heard Ok Computer ten years before. After hearing the records dozens of times, it happened. The songs found their place and eventually everything was in their right places.

[@Elis_Gallacher]

This is before watching the reaction, idk how you’ll rate it yet or anything, but I just wanna say this ‘cause I feel you might not be a huge fan of this song. What I want to say is: This song was one of the song that I originally liked the LEAST on this album, but it’s grown on me a lot and is now one of my favourite Radiohead songs, it’s a grower, imo. Edit: huh, ya liked the song

[@eduguterrez2925]

I remember when I listened to "In rainbows" It reminded me of RHCP John Frusciante's style and approach to the guitar in this song and "reckoner". Later in an interview Thom Yorke confirmed the kind of tribute and how much he loves RHCP.

[@lk-music]

I think these are fair scores for first listens. I love these songs immensely, but on first listen, I underappreciated most of them. Maybe their arrangements tend to be unpredictable so if I don't know what's about to happen, it's a little jarring, to put that another way, once I'm familiar with the songs, I get quite a lot of enjoyment from the anticipation when waiting for the drops, swells, transitions, crescendos, whatever, it is the delivery fitting the expectation that must be rewarding.

[@jasoncora1]

I would believe you if you said every Radiohead song was one of the best songs you’ve ever heard. It wouldn’t be so far fetched.

[@jameshannagan4256]

I like your reviews a large amount of their catalog I really did not love the first few times I heard it and many of my favorite tunes by them took some time to digest.

[@sammalla5238]

I think these are two songs comprised into one Weird Fishes which was written by Thom & Arpeggi by Johnny (originally as a score piece) I could be wrong tho, feel free to correct me fellow RH fans

[@sarajohnson5653]

U would be correct. Thom wrote the lyrics and Jonny wrote the music on this one

[@Ghostballz420_69]

I respect this because you're cleary a metal dude (black/death even?) but if you're a musician it's impossible not to at least respect this band

[@kimbervoss3753]

I totally forgot I already watched this and saw my own comment..lol anyway, upon watching it again, I just wanted to point out that it's not two songs per se, but an actual arpeggi..I think weird fishes and arpeggi can be used interchangeably as the title.. The first time I heard this song, I hated the chorus, or was at least very underwhelmed by it. I do enjoy the rest of it though. The chorus kind of sticks out like a sore thumb and rips me out of the string plucking joy immersion..lol I'm sure it was written that way on purpose though and that might? be the point..I'm never certain with rh..love that they keep me guessing even when I don't love everything they do.. XO

[@Straaaayyyy]

You should listen to How to disappear completely, especially album version because live one doesn't involve the whole Orchestra, one of their best works as Thom yorke said, great reaction, sry for my english

[@bornagainsheep337]

😂I’m gonna have to think about this one😂said every Radiohead fan ever

[@MrMoparty]

I don’t think you’re emotional enough for Radiohead. Everyone is at some stage, might come later in life for you.

[@DKLGalactus5]

OK time to like so many others to crawl in the box, and sort it out, lol. Radiohead a band on another level.

[@mikedidyk8233]

If we want to impress, radiihead fans need to request live stuff from the bends and ok computer. Just and My Iron Lung especially live will be more up David's alley.

[@runningsuperska]

It's one song. If you didn't like some stuff you need to wash your earholes out.

[@artem1ism]

It's not my favorite Radiohead song but i can agree that this song is good. In this album i prefer Nude, 15 Step, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, Up On The Ladder and 4 Minute Warning (and i hope you'll acquainted with the last 4 songs, they're really cool).

[@memetherapy]

I don't know what's wrong with me but I love every Radiohead song since The Bends album... except for Up On The Ladder. I actually hate it. It's almost hilarious. Am I the only one?

[@artem1ism]

​@@memetherapy I hope you're the only one who dislikes Up On The Ladder) I can't explain it, but it's really good song, both versions (2002 & 2007) are pretty good. I can't say that I like every song since the Bends, but Morning Bell (both versions), Permanent Daylight, Molasses, You Never Wash Up After Yourself, How I Made My Million, Climbing up the Walls, Go To Sleep, Backdrifts, Paperbag Writer, House of Cards, Feral - these songs not my cup of tea, for me they're much weaker than other songs.

[@hughiedavies6069]

Listen to the version with kendrik lamar ,👍 By the way what a great job, listening to music you've never heard

[@HominidInterneticus]

My RH playlist consists mainly of ok computer, kid a, and amnesiac's songs. The instrumentation and the dynamics just isn't the same pre or post that period. This tune here is very stripped down, repetitive and homogenic compared to what they did during that period. And that annoying guitar loop in the background overstayed its welcome rather quick at the end. I could see your face going "man is that thing in the background ever going to stop"

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

I wanted to like this one but I couldn't for some reason

I did not like it that much the first few times I heard the album either but like a lot of their catalog especially their post 2003 stuff it grew on me a lot .
