Radiohead Band • Page 56

OK Computer and work your way up is my recommendation. Took me a little while to really appreciate OKC but the entire album is fantastic

 

What @TSLROCKS said.

 

Chronological imo

 

Thanks y'all. I'll give them a shot.

 

Chronological? Definitely shouldn't start with Pablo Honey haha

 

Apparently the track "Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors" is an instrumental version of "True Love Waits".

 

But starting with Pablo Honey makes reaching Kid A that much better!

 

But it's also just so mean haha

 

Yeah you want to get them hooked first, @ComedownMachine

 

OK hooked me, then In Rainbows sealed the deal.

 

Where did you start?

 

I went chronologically, I recommend it.

 

I started with In Rainbows which made me a fan forever.

 

Are either of the true love waits loops the synth from the debut live version?

 

Bought OK Computer in 2007 and loved it. Then In Rainbows was released and it just cemented that I loved the band. I think I went with Kid A next.

 

My advice is to start with In Rainbows. It is one of their best albums, you get a good feeling of their overall sound and it's both accessible and experimental.

 

In Rainbows was my first, King of Limbs was my second and my third which hooked me forever was Amnesiac

 

I am a fan of this band)

 

Oh mami this box set is gorgeous

But what is up with the LPs not being labeled and making me trial and error to get Airbag into my earholes lol

 

This was super weird to me to haha

 

The sound quality on this is unsurprisingly excellent, even on my mediocre player.

I always forget how much I like Climbing Up the Walls until I listen. Just the backhalf in general I think I've generally underrated cus maybe I don't always get to it when I put this on in the car or something.

It's interesting to me because I think for the most part I'm drawn more to the jagged experimental side of the band and this section of OKC is really just pretty fucking...well...pretty. ugh, this band. This is pretty far down my list of fave Radiohead albums and it still does so much to me

 

Climbing Up The Walls is one of my favorite Radiohead tracks. That scream Thom lets out at the end is bone-chilling.

 

I think the back half of OKC is certainly stronger than the first. The back-to-back of Climbing Up The Walls and No Surprises floors me.

 

First half of OKC is by far my favorite. The first 6 tracks are all unbelievable

The problem is the second of OKC is also so goddamn good. Let Down is the only thing that continuously puts the first half ahead for me

 

I don't seem to be on the same page as most fans when it comes to OKC highlights. "Airbag" is a top 5 RH song for me, and it's actually what initially got me into them and totally changed my view of rock music when I first heard it so long ago. Obviously PA is a classic, and I'm a huge fan of "Let Down" and "Karma Police." I generally find the front half far superior to the back... I probably shouldn't admit this, but I can usually turn it off after Karma and feel like I'm not missing a ton.
