it's always interesting to me hearing people's first reaction to let down. it seems like everyone feels that it's kind of just okay (relative to the rest of the album, that is) at first but then later comes to like it as one of the best on the album. it's somewhat odd because it's not like the chorus or verses are so complex that they go over everybody's head; i think it's just a lot of subtleties within the song that make it super beautiful the more you listen to it.

Thats a mellotron on Exit Music not a real choir, good catch. The insane thing about this album is that almost each song is going to be a favourite of certain fans. The soundscape of this album is so deep that many of these songs will bring you back even if the first listen it doesn't feel that way (Let Down). Also I'm seeing a lot of people come back to this album beacuse simply put it's crucially relevant to the times and will continue to do so in the upcoming era.

Paranoid android was 3 different songs coming into one but the feeling is the same it's the anxiety from being around people who are so deep into their own bs and superficial phony crap reaching it's most alarming moment when Yorke witnesses that woman losing her shit when someone spilled a drink on her . The entire chaos is happening with some looking and some going about their business normalizing something he feels is abnormal.

@@nachobusinezzreacts Its totally fine to have those reactions. Let Down honestly took me a few years from when I had first listened to OKC to when I started to strongly enjoy it and the same goes for many of their songs that the fans love, like "Nude" from In Rainbows which I can now see why is a top tier song but took me a while. For Let Down I find the built up to the cathartic end and the lush soundscape that comes with the outro to be most addicting, and is what eventually hooked me. But not everyone is bound to like these songs first go, or ever.
@abananainspace8 ай бұрын
Let down went unnoticed for me the first several times I listened to the album, but it has since become my favorite track of all time of any album or band. It's so apparently simple but has a million of complex subtleties that one doesn't really notice at first. The 5/4 time signature of the electric guitars against the 4/4 of the rest of elements, with all the subtle harmonic changes that it entails, all the amount of layering, the beautifully sad lyrics, vocal harmonies, the other-wordly climax of the song, the twinkling computer bleeps on both the left and right channels and how they contrast against the acoustic guitar during the outro, superimposing the human and the digital. All of which contributes to the emotional impact without feeling over the top. It's a masterpiece, but needs a bit of time to be appreciated

Well now you have to listen to their follow up album Kid A. OKC made a huge splash in the music world when it came out and everyone was wondering if Radiohead could do it again. Kid A surprised everybody by not only proving that OKC wasn't a fluke, but because it was also so different. Releasing Kid A after OKC was one of those special unique moments in music that had people talking. You can recreate some of that for yourself if you've never heard the two albums. Listen to OKC first (as you've done), let it marinate for a bit and get familiar with it, then listen to Kid A. The drastic turn in sound with no loss in the quality of the music is a very cool and interesting experience. It's part of what made Radiohead such a big deal and gave them the reputation that they have.

A really great episode that utilizes Exit Music (For A Film) is the episode Shut Up And Dance from Black Mirror (season 3 episode 3). The song was written for Romeo & Juliet but I think it was only used in the credits and not in an actual scene. So Black Mirror is a great alternative.

While Radiohead were on tour with Alanis Morissette, Baz Luhrmann, who directed the movie, sent them a tape of the last part of the film and asked them to write some music for the closing credits (hence the name "exit music").

The genius is in how you don't notice. Just try and follow the guitar paterns as they layer and fit in to the rhythm, it's nearly impossible to do in your head. Musicologists have been trying to break this song down for over two decades. Give it some credit.

Best way I think to describe Radiohead, is existential crisis in musical form. A great many of their tracks are based off of the bands experiences and observations, whether regarding their rise to fame and musical careers, personal experiences, like with the track Airbag, being about an auto wreck that Tom Yorke was in, or about society as a whole with tracks like No Surprises and Fake Plastic Trees off their album The Bends. Another album that's definitely worth a listen, one of the greatest aspects of going through their discography is hearing their incredible evolution and experimentation.
