Agree here. An essential album.

[@tommortlock8783]

I'm a metal guy predominantly and this is a regular listen, I heard this one on one of the NOW compilations we have here in the UK when I was 10/11 and loved it immediately

[@juliocsar13]

I just want that 1000 years from now this song will be remembered as one of the greatest songs ever made.

One of the greatest songs ever written, and it was inspired by a terrible time at a bar.

If I remember correctly “Kicking screaming gucci little piggy” is reference to a drunken Karen being detained by security at an airport

[@EarleMonroe]

@@luispavon1371Some people here are a bit off on the story. Thom Yorke was in an LA bar. From googly: The lyric 'kicking, squealing Gucci little piggy' was a reference to a woman who lost the plot when a drink was spilled on her. "There was a look in this woman's eyes that I'd never seen before anywhere," Yorke recounted to Q magazine in 1997. "I couldn't sleep that night because of it.

[@johnryder2878]

"Haunting" is exactly right for Thom Yorke's voice.. also angelic, ethereal, otherworldly... The man is uniquely talented and infinitely listenable.

[@xx-ug9hn]

Kid A is the greatest record I’ve ever heard

[@Godspeed1756]

So Paranoid Android is a reference to my favorite book... The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Marvin The Paranoid Android is one of the greatest pessimist to ever be written. Also Paranoid Android is a ROM for rooted Android phones.

[@memetherapy]

I'd recommend Pyramid Song to get another flavor of Radiohead. While all Radiohead sounds like Radiohead, each song is its own immersive distinct experience. No band comes close to Radiohead IMO. They are the Beatles of our generation and its worth exploring their whole massive catalogue on your own free time. Smoke a J and listen to Kid A. I dare you.

[@Reani71]

Finally someone who speaks out what I keep saying for years now: they are The Beatles of our generation. And that is no exaggeration or a bad comparison. The creativity, the versatility, the evolution in their music, the musicianship itself, the marketing and production aspects and the sheer genius of both bands are outstanding both in their own times. I highly recommend listening to Fake Plastic Trees, There There, How To Disappear Completely and Exit Music (For a Film). Thank you.

[@jameshannagan7830]

I double-dare you.

[@freyjagudjonsdottir4261]

Pyramid song is one of my favorite radiohead songs. It is so beautiful

[@LaurentheHermit]

Thoms vocal style was influenced by the great Jeff Buckley. He saw Jeff live and then went and wrote Fake Plastic Trees. He said that hearing Jeff gave him permission to use his voice to emote. Check out Jeff if you can, a very talented man who died far too soon. Jeff influenced Muse too.

[@trevorelms]

If you two ever get the chance to see Radiohead live please, please do. They are incredible live.

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

I got to see them in Baltimore when Kid A was the new album. I think they did a Saturday Night Live then too.

[@antdujar]

Saw them live at msg in 2018. I knew what song was what due to watching all their live performances, but the fact they they played an entire body of work 4 nights straight was just amazing.

[@DanielHBuchmann]

@@peterhineinlegen4672 Saw them in Philly on the same tour. One of if not the best concerts I've ever experienced.

Exit music for a film is another amazing piece of music on this album. If you don’t do the full album review you should def do that track next!! Great reaction guys 👏

Radiohead is one of the greatest bands of all-time. They put you in a trance like Tool.

[@eumaeus]

One of the greatest albums of all time. It's awesome to see younger people find Radiohead. More please. Love from England.

[@IslanderArena]

One of the most complex and best songs of all time. Glad to see you appreciated the content and the high class in it. It’s not for everyone. Lots of reactions online don’t get the sheer quality and broadness of creativity and remain stuck at the “depressing” side of it missing the bigger picture.

[@veevamm3642]

Thank you one million percent for doing this! My favorite band! I hope you go down this Radiohead rabbithole! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Username1nva1id]

You're right about it being like 4 different songs, it is a composition of 3 different songs written by the band, the original recording was something like 14 minutes long!

[@anemptybowl5844]

If you haven't seen a live performance of this yet you have *got* to see Paranoid Android live on Jools Holland in 1997. it's on youtube and it gives me chills every single time I watch it. That and Creep live in Landgraaf from 1996)

Ok dudes. You know I love you guys. I'm just getting to this now after finishing watching my England lads get beaten by Italy in the Euro football (or Soccer as you guys say) finals. You couldn't have picked a better song for my mood now. Radiohead have always helped me get through tough times. One of the greatest bands on the planet. The whole "OK Computer" album as I'm sure many of the Trash Talkers have already said is a masterpiece. I wanted to comment first before hearing what you guys think. To me it's like Radiohead's "Dark Side Of The Moon". It's an album that should be listened to as a whole as you get the best overall effect of the underlying theme and tone of the general album concept. It's an incredible piece of work that has aged like a fine wine. Peace and love dudes! :)

My late father used to work in a well known mental health hospital in the UK and met the lead singer of Radiohead there as he was sectioned in the hospital for a few years. The reason he has so much soul and grit to his voice is the fact that he means and feels every single depressing lyric. He lived through scitzphrenia and much more. Amazing artist.

Radiohead’s always been one of my favorite bands, from the song Creep in 1993 up to now. Thom Yorke’s voice makes every song he sings in. UNKLE featuring Thom Yorke with the song Rabbit in your Headlights is one of those songs. Just like how the video for Paranoid Android is distracting, so is the video for this song. Listen to the track first, hopefully you guys can react to it, then check out the video. It’s like a movie. Thanks and ✌️
