Radiohead - In Rainbows From the Basement (April 2008)

[@jonpape]

Its weird how with Radiohead you start off with your favorite songs and songs you don't really like. Then you start liking the songs you didn't like. Eventually you just like every song on the album.

[@MrOCIndieMusic]

Exactly. Jazz is like that too for me

[@dalendru]

Well said!

[@MrKulturembargo]

Tom Waits does it to me

[@rarityandSElover]

Exactly.

[@reynross]

I agree. Some of their songs are so strange and first and the tempo changes they use to jarring effects can be something that takes a few listens and time to appreciate. When you do, or for me it is when I have finally "hear" how frigging perfect the song is composed and what I thought didn't work does. Daydreaming was the latest example of this. Didn't like it all that much to start but now just get swept up into it when I hear it.

I saw Johnny at the National Gallery in London (while on vacation, live in USA) two weeks ago with his wife and son. Just went up and asked him if he was Johnny, he said yes, I shook his hand and left him alone. Although I am 56 years old, it was a thrill to meet someone of his genius.

weird fishes is the quintessential song of radiohead. there’s no doubt. for me it’s a one way travel to heaven every time I listen to it

[@frog2098]

its one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard, definitely one of my favourites from them

[@selfperformedsparagmos]

Well the song itself is about being putt in a very bad place, but still being able to free yourself from that position. "Yeah, everybody leaves, If they get the chance, And this Is my chance", "Yeah, I hit the bottom, and escape, escape". Its a very motivational song when you think about it.

[@Nomit12345]

@@selfperformedsparagmos Interesting interpretation! I see interpret is as being unable to escape your situation (but still trying to). The song starts at its lowest, 'At the bottom of the Ocean'. During the first half, the song rises and rises as the narrator gets more and more hope that they might escape, until the climax ("I get eaten by the worms"), when the arpeggio's stop and they plummet back towards the bottom. The ending is determination, but perhaps also false confidence. The narrator is back at the bottom, but still wants to leave. To me, it's a song about loneliness and abandonment. Trying to escape a downward spiral, failing and trying again, however futile/foolish it might be.

[@bbuuttercupp]

This is still my favourite album. Not just Radiohead album but in general, of all time. I know some people would disagree but it‘s their best, I think. I love Kid A and Ok Computer too, which are widely considered their best, but In Rainbows has something so ... otherworldly. I have listened to this album on some of my best and some of my worst days. In the middle of the night and during random hours of the day, i can listen to this endlessly. I don’t think I could ever really put into words what it is about it that makes it so incredible for me but it just is. To me, listening to this means finding peace. From the energy of 15 steps, to one of my favorites, weird fishes, and then letting the beauty that is videotape wash over me. Perfect. Truly, a perfect album if there ever was one

[@CloserF]

It's been my thoughts EXACTLY for years !!

I agree with you completely, easily considered their best album for me personally, although I love them all the same. I honestly can listen to this album for the rest of my life. Weird Fishes being the epitome. Glad I'm not the only one.

I really disliked Radiohead. Every time I tried, I just didn't like the music. One day, while high, a friend of mine put on From the Basement version of All I Need. I started laughing and saying sarcastic stuff like look at their haircuts, etc. But slowly, it pulled me in, at the end of it, I was devastated, lol. Being recently done with an abusive relationship probably helped too. Fast forward to today - I love almost all of their songs. The attention to detail, on a molecular level. When it comes to the sound design, they treat every hertz with utmost importance. The way they structure the songs, some quite unconventional, and yet so easy to listen. Every song is trying to do something unique, they don't just strum the chords and come up with a quirky melody. I have so much respect for them.
