TKOL sucks

>>72242330
fatango proves again he's pleb

>>72242356
It's actually their third best behind Kid A and Amnesiac

Radiohead sucks

In Rainbows is better than fucking ITAOTS

>The Bends is 6th
FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>72242394
Yeah it should be 7th at best

>amnesiac 7th
>the bends 6th
I'm unironically mad about this shit.
How does he say these are the worst for being overrated/not sounding as grounbreaking as they used to, while putting OK Computer at the fucking top spot?
Also he complains that Push/Pullk Revolving Door is a repetitive electronic track but Fitter Happier is the exact same fucking thing but worse.

He tells you the top two in the background

>these orgasmic peaks of sonic bliss
top kek what did he mean by this?

>>72242467
If he does the Bjork best to worst like he said, I think I might have an aneurysm from how wrong his opinions are.

>>72242486
>In Rainbows and Pablo Honey
Weird choice, but okay

For anyone that doesn't wanna watch it:

9. The King of Limbs (somehow below Pablo)
8. Pablo Honey
7. Amnesiac
6. The Bends
5. Hail to the Thief!

>>72242540
They're both repetitive electronic tracks where the main focus is Thom reading out short phrases or words. Granted Fitter Happier has more meaning behind the words, but structurally and sonically they're very similar. I don't know how you can make one track into a negative for the album as a whole, but not the other.

>>72242582
>3. Amnesiac
Tired of this meme

Pablo Honey is a great album

>>72242605
>They're both repetitive electronic tracks
Fitter Happier isn't, it's a piano solo.
>where the main focus is Thom reading out short phrases or words.
Thom doesn't speak on Fitter Happier, it's a text-to-speech program. I guess this is nitpicking though.
>Granted Fitter Happier has more meaning behind the words, but structurally and sonically they're very similar.
Fitter Happier is less repetitive and generally less shit-sounding.

Pulk/Pull is scary

>>72242654
Relistened to this again yesterday after a few months break. Still really beautiful.

>>72242186
Glad he ranked Amnesiac and Bends low. TKOL is the ultimate contrarian album. Amnesiac is literally b sides that don't even sound half as good. The Bends is their most overrated album.

just because everyone jokes that its good doesn't mean you have to believe them, anon.

>>72242760
>>72242749
The King of Limbs is a brilliant album and much better than In Rainbows, which is the worst Radiohead album since The Bends

>>72242520
Pablo Honey sucks ass

the only thing I'm mad about is TKOL placement and not mentioning Daydreaming

>>72242186

didn't this faggot say that kid A is his favourite recird when he reviewed it?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaMpiKZh1fc


Yep. he is going against his own words. He is either lying or changed his position which he will never admit ofc, and he will never change on MBDTF.

COMPLETE HACK

If you watch his Kid A review he says that he prefers it to OK Computer

Dunno my man, I think Pull/pullk is better and I think melon man is a hypocrite.

Are you sure you even like Radiohead?

I totally agree about amnesiac - it's a crappy album with 3 good songs

>>72243193
OK Computer is number 4, Electioneering is a horrible song, I can't say the same for any track from either Amnesiac, Kid A nor TKOL

>>72242372

Why?

Other than you were 7 years old when the album came out.

>>72242186

Anyone who watches this guy unironically is a mental midget.

>>72243244
Yes, Electioneering quite is bad. That doesn't make OKC worse than TKOL. You're being autistic and contrarian and you know it.

Sorry Plebs

Ok plebs, time to get learnt. OBJECTIVE RANKING COMING THROUGH

1. Kid A
2. OK Computer
3. The Bends
4. In Rainbows
5. Moon Shaped Pool
6. Hail to The Thief
7. Amnesiac
8. The King of Limbs
9. Pablo Honey

I think a common theme in this thread is that people are putting The Bends much higher than memethony

Alright everyone, here is the only 100% objectively correct ranking of Radiohead albums

1. Pablo Honey
2. The Bends
3. OK Computer
4. Kid A
5. Amnesiac
6. Hail to the Thief
7. In Rainbows
8. The King of Limbs
9. A Moon Shaped Pool

>>72242217
I agree with him on The King of Limbs. The studio version just sounds boring but it really comes to life in the live version.

>>72243325
That's because The Bends is a genuinely good album, and Anthony Fantano is a bigger contrarian than a collective of autistic faggots on a Taiwanese tapestry chat room.

>>72242607
Amnesiac is great, it has hardly any filler, some of their best standout tracks and the most interesting and unique atmosphere of any Radiohead album.

>>72242772
The first half is pretty decent whereas AMSP is mediocre the whole way through and The Bends just completely sucks apart from three or four songs.

Superior tastes coming through

1 - OK Computer
2 - In Rainbows
3 - Kid A
4 - Amnesiac
5 - The King of Limbs
6 - A Moon Shaped Pool
7 - The Bends
8 - Hail to the Thief
9 - Pablo Honey

>>72242217
Anyone who cares about your opinion is a complete pleb

>>72243377
But Amnesiac is bad because people on /mu/ like it and I don't want to agree with them.

>>72243389
Point out the part of my post where I implied that.

>>72243385
switch 5 and 6 my dude

>>72242520
Kid A
OKC ~ Amnesiac
In Rainbows ~ AMSP
HTTT
The Bends
TKOL ~ Pablo Honey

>>72243325
Of course. The Bends is not an ambitious or highly original album, it is somewhat of a standard 90s indie rock album, but its the absolute pinnacle of standard 90s indie rock. Its consitently perfect, every song could be a single. Its one of the albums i feel compelled to listen to all the way through every time I hear it. Not a weak moment on it desu

>>72243385
I almost want to agree with this

>>72243425
Even some of the actual singles from the Bends are shit-tier

>>72242217
you're actually right anon. first post nails it.

If TKOL isn't in your top five Radiohead albums, you know fuck all

His entire critique is predicated on how "CUTTING EDGE" each album is

i'm ok with everything except his placement of amnesiac

fucking love that album man, don't know how he could basically reduce it to sounding "incomplete." i feel like that's a small and intentional part of the album, it's cool as fuck

>>72243761
I think he hasn't actually spent much time listening to Amnesiac. Some of his opinions are straight up retarded. Pyramid song is shit? Pulk/Pull sounds like shit? You and whose army is laughably bad?

And he didn't even mention like spinning plates or life in a glass house.

so just a show of hands does anyone on here actually agree with the melon?

ITS NOT THAT THEY'RE """BAD""" BUT THEY'RE JUST LEFTOVERS THAT DIDN'T WENT ANYWHERE.

If you think thats good, OK, but you can easily say its objectivly unfinished and bad.

Why does nobody like TKOL? Its got a legit great atmosphere and amazing rhythm. I legit don't know any bad songs on the album and while its not god-teir its certainly mezmerizing and beautiful.

Where would you guys put TKOL live version?

>>72245079
>pulk/pull the same repetitive (wow you can't fucking spell you fucking mongoloid) shit

OBJECTIVELY WRONG. LISTEN TO IT YOU DEAF MOTHERFUCKER.

>pyramid song same 3 chords

LITERALLY RETARDED. There is FAR MORE THAN JUST GUITAR IN THAT SONG. Do you even KNOW WHAT A PYRAMID IS? It BUILDS FROM A SOLID BASELINE. ITS A FUCKING CONCEPT YOU DINGBAT PLS EXECUTE YOUR MOTHER'S CROTCHSPAWN FAILED ABORTION POST-NATALLY.

>hunting bears is a small guitar piece

ok I'll give you this you cheeky fuck. It's def like an interlude palate cleanser.

>>72245452
honestly the basement sessions of tkol and in rainbows are my two favorite radiohead "releases"

they've always been more successful as a live band imo. even back in the height of my radiohead fanboyism i often preferred live bootlegs to their albums.

>>72245430

Its pretentious crap anon
Bloom is brainy for the sake of being brainy: convoluted rhythm, angst-filled droning vocals, a bit of minimalist keyboards and sleepy trumpet wails. Morning Mr Magpie puts the project into a different light: this is mood music made out of pretentious ideas. The single Lotus Flower ventures into disco territory but it ends up sounding like a bad version of synth-pop of the 1980s. But that's still better than no rhythm at all: the slow slow slow piano ballad Codex is simply devoid of real music: it's just somebody strumming a piano and crooning a trite melody. And Give Up The Ghost it's not even that: just a hippie-style litany repeated over and over again. The ambition of these songs is often hilarious. Yorke's insipid and narcotized singing certainly does not help rescue the rest.
It is not completely surprising that the results improve dramatically when Yorke does not sing. The claustrophobic tension of Feral is driven by the contrast between the almost silent soundscape and the frantic twitching of the beats (and the ghostly Middle-Eastern moves). Yorke merely moans in Little By Little, one of Radiohead's most touching pop moments, sculpted by hazy guitar and sitar tones.
Radiohead's career has been one long bluff and it gets harder and harder for them to disguise it. The best thing about this album is that it's concise. Little By Little and Feral would have made a great EP.

I can understand not liking Amnesiac but his reasoning is fucking retarded. Is it more abstract/experimental? Sure. Is that merely the reason why I think it's so great? Hell no. There are so many experimental albums in artists' discographies that incredibly uninteresting. Sure, Hunting Bears isn't an amazing song but being the shortest track it's essentially an interlude like Treefingers. The songs themselves on Amnesiac are what draws me in. It's musically and thematically their most cohesive imo.

>>72245430
The thing about TKOL that people don't get is that it's all rhythm. Rhythm is key to it. It's a pure study of rhythm. The tracks are extremely difficult to play live because of that. If any one of the sounds is misaligned it all falls apart and sounds like utter garbage. All of the songs unfold and fold in again like moving mandalas. Take bloom for example: it literally blooms as each instrument comes in like a petal and then wilts away at the end of the track.

>>72242506
>I might have an aneurysm from how wrong his opinions are.

It's confusing how Scaruffi constantly complains about Thom's vocals and then goes on to include him in his "best male vocalists" list. He does the same with Bowie.

He's right about Amnesiac. It's overrated as fuck.

>>72245681
Correct. It's an observation you fucking mouth-breather.

I unironically think A Moon Shaped Pool is their best album. It's the only one where not a single song I find underwhelming. OK Computer comes close but songs like Electioneering, Climbing Up the Walls and The Tourist have their flaws imo.

>>72245766
It's my current favorite too anon. Only track I'm not super fond of is The Numbers, but even with that song I really enjoy the piano intro and outro.

>>72245524
Codex has a rythym sacruff-kun, the piano repeats and flows in and out and feels like a wave.

>>72245375

Pretty much how I would order them too, except personally I fell IR>AMSP and HttT >Amnesiac

Also it is always fun to see all the Amnesifags getting triggered by opinions.

Why are plebs so obsessed with ranking albums/artists? It's especially prominent with hip hop fags.

>>72246092
because hiphop is so cheesy, albums can be easily ranked by quality of lyrics + beat. Bands like radiohead, everyone connects with and attributes experiences to, so plebs feel a need to validate their experiences and by extension themselves

>>72246091
Honestly I don't get why Amnesiac is so loved. It is extremely inferior to the bulk of their work. Only three good complete songs and then a bunch of meaningless songs that should be on a bootleg comp. For Radiohead, though this is still pretty much a 7/10

>dislikes Pulk/Pull and You and Whose Army?
>but likes the inferior version of Morning Bell
I agree that Kid A is better, but what the fuck?

I prefer any criticism scaruffi has to say over any reviewer because he's not worried about being called a contrarian because he likes more experimental music. but ok computer is a shit album. people call it art rock because literally nothing good came out of the 90s for plain old rock music.

Each song on Pablo honey is cohesive and can stand alone

Kid A however is rather mediocre in its attempt to be flashy with electronic instruments and is much more mindless drone and ambience. It contains no real substance.

i wouldnt go that far, FWIW, it is not a disappointing album even for in the era where you had to fork over $12 to $15 for a fucking CD album based on one track they play on the radio. it has 12 songs roughly 3 minutes each, IIRC, almost all of them are sing alongs. I listened to it legitimately like 5 times as child even then knowing that it was basically a foo fighters album but the fact remains you do get a dozen actual songs with pablo honey.

>>72250553
>I listened to it legitimately like 5 times as child even then knowing that it was basically a foo fighters album
Except it came out two years before Foo Fighters even existed you dunce

on his Kid A classic review he said he preferred Kid A to OKC. What made him change his stance? Is he trying to distinguish himself from pitchfork?

>>72250583

I love the King of Limbs, but he's right about Amnesiac. People will defend Hunting Bears to the death, and I have no idea why- it's completely aimless. And while some songs like You and Whose Army and Pulk Pull sound great or at least alright on their own, they completely break the flow of the record. It's an album of song pieces, not of songs.

People who complain about Hunting Bears are fucking morons who just want to hear some catchy singles and don't actually care about music

I think he overrated In Rainbows, underrated Amnesiac and continues to shit on TKOL too hard. Otherwise, kind of garden variety opinion, understandable but disappointingly safe. But I'm a HTTTfag so what do I know?

Radiohead blows

>>72250847
chilling amount of washed out reverb on that comment

Wow, I've never disagreed with Fantonini as much as I did when he was talking about Amnesiac.

>>72251922

Amnesiac is okay, but it's a collection of b-sides and leftovers that weren't good enough for Kid A. Radiohead fans only overrate it because it was the next album directly after Kid A.

>>72248448

fantano doesn't even like anco that much. He'd just spend half the video shitting on them. He'd just rank Panting With as worst and MPP as best anyway

>>72252067
Don't get me wrong it's still mid-list tier, but it definitely deserves to be ahead of The Bends at the very least, and his song criticisms were really strange to me. Pulk/Pull feels like it's an evil twin to Kid A (the song) and the way it transitions into You And Whose Army? is strangely beautiful and unnerving at the same time. I read somewhere that Thom said Kid A (album) is like watching a town on fire from atop a mountain while Amnesiac is like being actually inside the town on fire, and I think it captures that feeling perfectly.

Also Morning Bell / Amnesiac is easily the worst song on the album but it's one of his favorites? Was done so much better on Kid A.

Anyway he says in his Kid A review he prefers it to OKC so idk what the hell he's talking about.

>>72252266
>I read somewhere that Thom said Kid A (album) is like watching a town on fire from atop a mountain while Amnesiac is like being actually inside the town on fire, and I think it captures that feeling perfectly.

>>72252067

Amnesiac is not a collection of B-sides. While Amnesiac was conceived from the same sessions as Kid A, they were originally intended to be released as a double album. They decided against this because they felt the material would be too dense for the average listener to pay attention to.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9k8nglA1AU

>>72252441
Radiohead is overrated. They suck

>>72252608
Eh, I guess. It's been a while since I listened to it but my impression with the album was that it was too samey. I can't think of a single song that really impacted me on that album except for the title track.

>>72245366
This is my actual ranking

>>72252639
>I have a band musical memory

No maybe you should learn some theory

Chill dude, it's just my opinion and learning theory isn't going to change it. I may appreciate it more but it's still not to my taste.

>>72252561

Listen man I just linked an interview of Ed and Colin themselves saying Amnesiac isn't a collection of B-sides and that they were going to be a double album, I don't know what else you want from me

>>72243385
Put King of Limbs between Hail to the Thief and The Bends and I agree.

And I fucking love the King of Limbs

>>72246597
lol>>72252461
looooooooooooool

>>72252067

I disagree. Amnesiac and Kid A are cut from the same cloth but I see them as two sides of the same coin. Both albums draw from a then surprisingly eclectic pool of influences but I think Kid A focused on the IDM and ambient elements while Amnesiac focused on the krautrock and jazz so right there I don't think they sound exactly the same. Kid A also has a much more paranoid, "fearful of the unknown" mood whereas Amnesiac sounds absolutely pitch black and in the thick of the mess that Kid A feared. Lastly, Amnesiac is much more noticeably "rock" than Kid A, almost like they took the ambition of Kid A and reeled it back into something more closely resembling alt rock and for that reason I see it as the album where their whole identity came together and everything since has more or less just been Amnesiac refined.

>>72252681
>it's just my opinion
Nice backpedaling
>learning theory isn't going to change it
Music appreciation won't change it? I guarantee it will
>>72252694
That's not what they said, was it? Listen again.

>>72252765

It can't be, because it was from all one session you goof

>>72252770
All learning theory did was make me appreciate music more, but it still didn't make songs or albums that I didn't like any better for me.

Yeah pretty much. You can tell that IV-V-I on repeat for an entire song is annoying even if you don't know theory, but you won't have the vocabulary to explain WHY it's annoying until you learn what chords are.

anyway here's the correct order:

Amnesiac
Kid A
OKC
HTTT
AMSP
In Rainbows
The Bends
TKOL
Pablo Honey

1. Pablo Honey
2. The Bends
3. HTTT
4. TKOL
5. AMSP
6. In Rainbows
7. Amnesiac
8. OKC
9. Kid A

>>72252898
Can you learn a theory or just study it?

>Like pretending your opinion is fact?

Oh look, it's another "anon imposes his own thoughts and feelings on another anons post" post

Amnesiac is better than HTTT, so put that in HTTT's spot and bump that down. Also TKOL is better than PH. Other than those, I actually agreed tbqh. The top 4 were in the same order as I have them

>>72252915
>You can tell that IV-V-I on repeat for an entire song
Chart out Just and tell us if it's a IV-V-I for an entire song

>>72252974
You're missing the point entirely.

>>72252984
How so?

>>72252930

>>72252994
Charting out something like that will give you appreciation sure, but his point that it still wouldn't do much for him if he didn't really like the song in the first place.

Appreciation =/= love

>>72242394

>>72253021
>but his point that it still wouldn't do much for him if he didn't really like the song in the first place.
You're missing the point entirely.

>>72253043
Yep.

>>72252770

They said "Amnesiac is not a collection of B-sides, we wanted to stress that". There were even more songs from the Kid A / Amnesiac sessions that didn't make it onto either album like Cuttooth and Fog that were put in a deluxe edition of Kid A. If you read Ed O'Brien's diary he put online he even considered putting True Love Waits on the album (which had been conceived 4 years prior) but it wouldn't fit anywhere.
They're both distinct albums, one isn't just a garbage dump of the other. They created like 30 songs and made 2 albums out of them. Kid A is just considered the progenitor by virtue alone of being released first.

>>72253122
So you misspoke

>>72252974
The chorus seems to have 1-b5-4 scale degree motion in the bass so I can already tell you that it's NOT IV-V-I on repeat. In the verses there's some chordal motion that seems to be a semitone apart (again, not IV-V-I)
Good song, not sure why you brought it up.

>people who don't "get" those two Radiohead albums

>>72253234

Not that anon but all things considered Amnesiac and TKOL are as "challenging" and "experimental" as Radiohead get. Which is to say they're babby's first avant-garde so in a way he's not wrong in that they aren't that hard to get.

>>72253231
>Oh did you not read the thread?
I skimmed upwards and saw that someone (I presume the person that I agreed with in regards to music appreciation and theory) said that The Bends has a collection of same-y songs. Ok. I mean I can disagree with him there but I'm not about to painstakenly analyze every song of The Bends to prove myself or him right.

Apparently the article where O'Brien or Colin or whoever mentions the Kid A / Amnesiac story is in some MTV interview as indicated on the wiki page for Amnesiac, but it's apparently been deleted or something when MTV redid their archive.

I guess I can't strictly prove that Kid A / Amnesiac were supposed to be a double album but that it's also not just a collection of B-sides as indicated by the collector's edition of Amnesiac and the singles they released in conjunction with Knives Out.

50/50 I guess.

That's because it wasn't. What they actually said is they ruled out the possibility of releasing it as a double, once it was finished. But it wasn't intended to be a double, so that is misreading the info
