>Worst: Pablo Honey
>Best: Kid A
can't we just admit radiohead doesn't write happy sounding albums
Even so Kid A has to hit that label if any, with "Everything in it's right place" and "Optimistic"
>>68301666
happiest: Kid A
saddest: The Bends
weirdest: TKOL
worst: In Rainbows
best: The Bends
>Happiest: Kid A
what the fuck is this meme? it's literally an album about either the creation of the first clone or a nuclear goddamn war, theres nothing to be had there except pure grade cold electronic misery
Happiest: TKOL
Saddest: The Bends
Weirdest: Kid A
Worst: Pablo Honey
Best: In Rainbows
>>68302466
Objectively wrong about the nuclear war meme
>>68302466
the only ones I'm familiar with are Kid A, Bends and OK Computer and I listen to those on the daily. I don't think radiohead has a happy album and that fact has derailed the thread.
>>68302466
I never paid much attention to the lyrics, I find the music profoundly peaceful though
>>68301666
Every Radiohead album has that same subtle, slightly unsettling atmosphere. That has always been their shtick.
>>68302466
the least whiny album Thom has made
>>68302523
>hasn't heard most of their albums
>claims to know "facts" about their discography
>everyone listing Kid A as weirdest instead of Amnesiac
fuck is wrong with you all
>>68301666
Happiest:None.
Saddest:Amensiac.
Weirdest:Kid A.
Worst:None.
Best:Ok Computer.

>being this wrong
>>68302615
Kid A came first for a lot of people
happiest: n/a. even if you could list an album, it'd only be marginally happier than the others
saddest: amsp, possibly kid a
weirdest: kid a/amnesiac/tkol
worst: pablo honey
best: in rainbows
>>68301666
Happiest: this is obviously a flawed question, but ok computer
Saddest: A Moon Shaped Pool
Weirdest: Amnesiac
Worst: HTTT
Best: In Rainbows
shit on me all you want, you know im right
>>68302876
amnesiac is much fucking weirder though, the question wasnt "which weird radiohead album came first"

Kid A was incredibly weird because it came from OK Computer. Amnesiac is less strange coming from Kid A. Not everyone can view everything in a vacuum.
>>68302951
Idk how Ok Computer could be considered happiest. To me it's always given off a cold feeling of having a sadness or gloom hovering over your head but you keep moving on, even though you don't want to. This constant icy layer coating over your happiness.

fourD at it again posting what I'm thinking haha

The whole point is looking at them in a vacuum. It's asking what's the weirdest album, not what's the album that juxtaposes the album before it the most.
Happiest: IR, it has elements of happy and sad tho
Saddest: Kid A, anyone who thinks this shit is happy has clearly not listened to the lyrics, especially in Motion Picture Soundtrack
Weirdest: Amnesiac
Worst: obviously Pablo Honey but out of their actually good works it's the Bends
Best: IR is best overall, Kid A has their best moments
>>68303544
If you didn't juxtapose other albums, even from other bands you'd have a retarded view of musical history. It'd be ridiculous to ask anyone to do that.
>>68303591
I'm not saying don't juxtapose them. I'm saying OP is asking what's their weirdest album, not what's the weirdest transition in between albums.
>>68302900
This is the best post
>>68302900
TAYNE? Now this is something I can get into!
Happiest: Pablo Honey
Saddest: Kid A
Weirdest: Amnesaic
Worst: Pablo Honey or TKOL
Best: Kid A
>>68303021
Yeah its cold and despondent. To me that numbness makes it "happiest." all other albums have more life and ferocity behind them, even in rainbows is more agitated and worked up. Ok comouter is kind of an apathetic cry but nothing more. Very existential
Spiciest: Pablo
Kinkiest: In Rainbows
Rudest: Amnesiac
Most Likely To Succeed: Kidda
Trap Influenciest Beats: Moon Pool
Happiest: TKOL
Saddest: AMSP
Weirdest: Amnesiac
