That Time RADIOHEAD Gave Away An Album For Free

[@oldveryveryoldmanfromthe1900s]

no

[@CalumCarlyle]

9:50 no, no, no. You've missed the point here. Lily Allen is absolutely correct to say that musicians and bands performing and releasing for free has the effect of devaluing music. Why pay for music when it's free? Nobody can deny this, we see it all around us nowadays. Radiohead didn't do that deliberately but it is true that only a secure and successful band could ever do this and have any success. The thing that sounds identical to the record labels is you, ironically, with your message that anybody can make it in this model if they just work hard and have good music. That's not the case. People were prepared to pay willingly for In Rainbows because it's Radiohead. Nobody will willingly pay for an album by Johnny Nothing and the Nomarks, no matter how mind-blowing the music is.

Easily one of their best albums Amsp is a masterpiece

[@PedroJohnston1]

@@rpineda8373 not to mention TKOL live from the basement

[@PedroJohnston1]

@James Schultz * Est.1982 man daily mail is for sure in my top 3 Radiohead songs. Listening to the basement version really unlocked TKOL for me. When I first heard it, thee regular version felt like an electronic Thom Yorke album and a slightly flat. but when they performed it live, it became so much bigger, every song acquired an amazing unique character, and each musician made himself present. It's amazing.

[@humanbeing_]

Just to add some thoughts to this thread, specifically regarding James & Pedro mentioning the basement sessions; there's something about all of the songs played 'From The Basement.' The Mix was incredibly on-point, meaning where every instrument sat frequency-wise in the overall mix added brightness yet also some crunchiness (Bass for example, and/or the punch of the drums) to the instruments, and while watching each member play their part, every instrument was audible & distinguishable on its own, yet sat perfectly in the mix as a whole. I prefer the from the basement versions of almost every song vs the studio/album versions specially for those reasons. And of course, not only was the mix on-point, of course Radiohead themselves were on-point and 'in the pocket' as well. Lastly, one of the reasons Radiohead is in my top 5 favorite bands of all time, is because they've never stagnated creatively; it's not that they "reinvented themselves" for each album, but they absolutely didn't try to recreate the sounds or vibes from a previous album. They've continued to move forward creatively & sonically every album, but as the video mentioned, the songs and albums are without question distinctly Radiohead. I think being able to make that statement for a band is few & far between, especially in the (current) age of recycled, resampled, remade, nauseous excessive radio play times that we live in. So for me, Radiohead haven't ever put out an album or song that I'd consider lackluster or don't enjoy listening to all the way through. And then of course, they always have 1, or 2, or several songs on each album that I enjoy so much I end up playing it on repeat for hours or days or weeks. Anyway. Great video! And great discussion guys! Cheers, .-H.B.

[@JamesKovacic]

The thing about In Rainbows that makes it stand above other Radiohead albums for me is that I don’t feel the need to listen to it within a certain context (mood, setting, time of day, etc.) to understand or enjoy it. It’s accessible, immediate, visceral, emotional, passionate, vibrant, colorful, romantic, melodic. It doesn’t really depress or disturb me like some of their other records do at times. I actually get a warm, happy feeling from listening to it

[@theNickRYG]

This. To me its like the polar opposite of Ok Computer or The Bends. I can NOT listen to those albums without getting grim inside.

[@KabobHope]

Some RH albums take time to grow on me or I don't like them on first listen but do over time. I liked Rainbows instantly.

[@Morrisopolous]

nick - I got lucky (no pun intended) and watched them perform it on the Jonathan Ross show. Once they finished it, they asked to play it again as they weren't happy... after the show, I was stood 2 feet from them but I froze and couldn't say a word.

[@axonn101]

Bigger Lion it also helps that more money goes directly to the artist in general. How much of a cut does a record company take from a $10 album sale?

[@cyberzh0rafm]

you buy the first for free, that gives you exposure then you are willing to pay for later or earlier records of theirs, i need to get on bandcamp tbh, i love the format

[@StickThisUpYourAnus]

@@davidcm2025 Tbh I think it's a shift in the right direction. The music scene has become more diverse than it ever was due to artist being able to make it themselves rather than needing to rely on a big music label. Streaming services makes it easier for an independent artist to monetize its craft and gain exposure while it also makes music much more accessible to the consumers.

Also seems to be one of the more accessible tracks when showing Radiohead to friends, especially those who can appreciate slower paced music. Videotape is the worst song for me; every other song has a melody that really gets to me in some capacity.

Jigsaw Falling Into Place has one of the best builds in any song I've heard.

It's literally like a jigsaw puzzle - you don't notice the individual pieces going in, but by the end you somehow have this beautiful, complete work of art. Honestly one of the few songs I consider perfect.

I never expected this video, I’m watching this every week now. I’m in love with this.

[@y.a.pthered]

First radiohead album I've heard and still my favorite

[@tychojoe]

Well made video! The download of In Rainbows was brilliant!

[@jcar1778]

I literally just went on a Radiohead marathon just before this came out. Coincidence?, I think not Hotel, Trivago.

[@abdoul5176]

Wow you look like Ksi's dad.

[@jcar1778]

Abdoulhay Ceesay, I am KSI’s dad...

[@ukkovuorela4196]

That "hotel? Trivago" doesnt fit there at all lol

[@jcar1778]

Barry Berry, I know lol Didn’t expect it to get likes tbh

[@chandraabudiman]

Keep making these radiohead videos!

[@seasong707]

"If it's not In Rainbows... cheer up, kid." Hah. That hit me. (My favorite is either OK Computer or A Moon Shaped Pool, I can't decide.)

[@dobretotamje]

One of the best channels on KZbin these days. Thank you for your work

[@JohnnyG911]

One of the greatest albums of all time 🤙

[@lettherebegames8]

Reckoner is probably my favourite Radiohead song, just so incredible

[@tbhreviews6611]

This is one of my top 10 albums so I’m glad it got some love

Most valuable things in this world is free and priceless at the same time

"If it's not your favorite....cheer up, kid"

[@elrabeechum5180]

Al Conway Loved that.

Lighten up squirt

[@thangeo7859]

Your break away from Radiohead is finally over and back with, not only mine, but a great deal of Radiohead fans' favourite album! Thank you

[@canadey97]

Nude to this day is the most beautiful song I've ever heard

[@rokko4047]

in rainbows is my favorate album by them, it just sounds like they threw everything they had done before into the album, i love it so much.

[@hugootoole4175]

Dude, this was a really well made video.

[@findtheothers]

Great video, man. It sums up all the things I heard about the release and nicely dives in to the songs. This was the first album that made me weep. I was at work, crying cathartic tears. It just hits you like that.

[@thriceconcussed1]

I have never felt that any album after "In Rainbows" has had the passion or even imagination I came to expect from Radiohead.

[@seanmurphy7733]

You need to listen to A Moon Shaped Pool some more. It's a slow burn, but additional time with it pays off. A great late night headphone album.
