So… what’s next for Radiohead now?

Weird fishes was my wifes favourite song. She passed away unexpected last year and we played it at her funeral. I hope there is an afterlife so that I will see her again. I miss her so much. Thanks for the great video.

Jigsaw Falling Into Place really hits different

I remember getting chills the first time I heard Nude and Reckoner

This is the most Radiohead Radiohead album. No one stands out because everyone stands out. It's crazy how tight this record is,

Some trivia: - According to Thom Yorke, the lyrics were based on "that anonymous fear thing, sitting in traffic, thinking, 'I'm sure I'm supposed to be doing something else' ... It's similar to OK Computer in a way. It's much more terrifying." - Unlike Hail to the Thief, In Rainbows is not an angry or political album. It's about mortality and the fact any of us can die at any given moment. - My theory for 15 Step is that the title is a reference to the plant Antiaris toxicaria, the poison of which is so deadly a victim can only take seven steps uphill and eight downhill before dying. What's 7+8? 15 Steps. - The band recorded the cheers of music school students for 15 Step. They wanted the kids to clap but the unconventional 5/4 time signature was too hard for the students to follow. - Bodysnatchers utilizes a technique known as "modal mixture", where notes and chords from different modes (sets of notes) that share the same root are used. The verses are in D Mixolydian (the Major scale with a flattened seventh), while the bridge is in D minor. - Nude was worked on for around a decade, starting during the OK Computer sessions. It was originally called "Big Ideas" by fans, as it was unnamed for many years. The final version was built atop the bassline written by Colin Greenwood. The intro is the outro reversed. - Weird Fishes / Arpeggi was originally just called "Arpeggi" due to the arpeggiated guitar line that can be heard through the song (clever bastards). - On All I Need, the chaotic noise wall, imitating the white noise created by a band playing loudly in a room (which would be impossible in a studio), was achieved by having a string section play every note in the scale, blanketing the frequencies. - In Reckoner, background vocals can be heard at 2:49 singing "In Rainbows", which happens to be 61.8% of the runtime; the golden ratio. The line "because we separate like ripples on a blank shore" is the center of the album; everything leads up to and away from it, much as waves on a beach do. - On House of Cards, Jonny used a coin as a guitar pick to imitate the sound of a string instrument. - Jigsaw Falling Into Place was inspired by the chaos inspired Thom saw when he used to go out on the weekend in Oxford. - Videotape is tricking you; the true downbeat is syncopated. The piano is playing half a beat before the downbeat. Listen to the 2006 live performance where this trick is much more pronounced.

Picked this up before i deployed to Afghanistan in 08. We were deep in the southwest desert for months, sleeping in the open desert most nights. I'd lie there staring at the most insane night skies while i went to sleep listening to this album. What a trip.

"In Rainbows - Live From the Basement"...the greatest Radiohead experience there is. It ties everything you've heard together to watch them play live, in a chill studio, the same 5 guys who've stuck together since High School, shows how they create those epic atmospheres in real time, no tricks, sounds better arguably than any of their studio stuff. Not sure if you're into the live video stuff, it seems to get through YT, and if you can't do as a reaction, then it'll be a great personal experience. Great vid, timing of the sunset was perfect. I saw the live session first and it blew my mind, and first time I had the album on CD, in my car in Key West, Florida for a wedding, just kept driving around with turquoise Caribbean water all around me and just couldn't stop playing it over and over again. A happy to Sunday to you both and to all the humans roaming around this Universe of ours. Peace/

I always find the jizzing faces in your thumbnails amusing.😂

I love that you guys loved Wierd Fishes instantly. Its a song that takes a while for a lot of people to appreciate. GUys this is the best In Rainbows reaction I've seen. Love your vibe.

The moment I saw that teaser of you guys saying that’s the best Radiohead song you’ve ever heard I knew it was Weird Fishes. It’s my favorite song. It was no different than my other favorite songs at first, but ten years later and I keep coming back to it every now and then. It’s a constant in my life in the most comforting way possible.

"The Queen Is Dead" - The Smiths 1986, the band that inspired almost every big british band ever since including radiohead.

This is one of my favorite albums of all time any genre.

newbies thiuk Creep is their best song, critics who think. they know, believe OK Computer is their best album. but, those who truly love Radiohead, know this is elite, perfection.

You were SPOT ON about Reckoner sounding like Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Thom Yorke has admitted basing the sound of the main guitar arpeggiation in that song directly on John Frusciante's work with RHCP. Great ear!

In Rainbows is my favorite Radiohead album..........maybe the only album I could listen to every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it 🤣🤣🤣 My favorites are Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Reckoner, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, and Nude!

You found the gold at the end of the rainbow.

I'm 59 and have been a fan of Radiohead for about 30 years. And now I've just become a fan of you guys. At first I thought this would be a sort of Beavis & Butthead type of thing, but you're intelligent and funny and had honest and affecting reactions to this wonderful album (perhaps my favourite by Radiohead) So thank you - this was just what I needed on this sunday evening here in Norway, before the horrors of a new working week.

You guys get to discover The Smile after this. It's incredible stuff

I feel like I'm watching my kids growing up with good music watching you two react to Radiohead! 🥲 Makes me a happy man!

Radiohead going through the gears on Bodysnatchers and Thom ramping up his vocal on Jigsaw Falling (“the beat goes round and round”) are two of my favourite moments in music

Love it. Weird Fishes is my favorite Radiohead song. It just builds and builds and builds, it’s bliss

Great album. In typical Radiohead fashion, bright music...dark lyrics. Perfect.

Weird Fishes Arpeggi is my favorite song ever. Transcendent. It turned me into an audiophile and and has had an incredible impact on me. Greatest song ever.

from the basement live version is amazing

Perfect album. I recall walking into a record store the day this came out and hearing Weird Fishes for the first time blaring out of their speakers. Magical moment.

Great job guys! I’ve heard this album about 100 times and it STILL gets me! That “nude/weird fishes/all I need” sandwich is some of the best music ever recorded in history. And watching both of your heads bobbing at the EXACT same time to videotape was priceless :) so glad you liked the album. A core memory experience for sure. Up next: a king of limbs and a moon shaped pool - in that order please! You will NOT be disappointed 🤙 keep rockin

I loved watching the sunset throughout the video. Really adds an atmosphere to an already beautiful atmospheric album.

Now watch live from the basement for your own good

The reaction lived up to the hype. Can't wait for you to do the next 2 albums! Btw. If you're done with Radiohead, do "The Smile" next. It's another project from Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood. It's very worth checking out the 2 albums they've put out. Promise, Its GOOD. ✌️

My body is ready

I don't normally comment on KZfaq videos, but I stumbled across this reaction and the vibe you guys had on this is just perfect. A cool spring evening with the album playing as the sun goes down behind you perfectly frames the tone of the record. In Rainbows was a self released free download when it dropped in 2007 and it was kind of a revolutionary idea at the time after the age of Napster ended and made way to iTunes and $9.99 albums. I remember clear as day when it came out. It was released at 8 am in Atlantic Canada on a week day. I had to work and thought maybe I'd listen to a couple songs and then leave. But as the headphones went on I was immersed and couldn't leave. I just flat out missed the first hour of work without a care in the world.

I'm the oldest Millennial and this makes me feel old, nostalgic, and proud. The kids are alright.

36:52 - Jay had the 'what is this wizardry?' face. Trust me, Radiohead does that to just about everybody! Glad y'all enjoyed it! Cheers

This is one of my favourite albums of all time and it has only grown with every listen.

Y’all bussin nuhs together

TKOL from the basement next.

Bruh I wanna be these dudes friend so bad lmao. The array of different emotions that they went through was what i went through😭 this is my favorite album of all time n I loved this video n I love you guys man fr! God bless n keep it up!

Very nice seeing your guys’ progression on KZfaq, and now getting to watch y’all listen and react to not only one of my favorite Radiohead albums, but one of my favorite albums of all time. Glad y’all enjoyed

I can tell you both really understand music! You perfectly described why in rainbows is my favourite album ever. I’m interested to see what you think of their next album in the discog- the king of limbs is very different and not everyone loves it. I can’t get enough of it but it would be a great video if you shared your thoughts! Thank you for making this video, it reminded me of how much I love Radiohead. ❤️

Love how you guys pick out key lyrics and instrumentals while appreciating the overall project's themes and impact, regardless of the artist.

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this album all the way through. I love it now even more than I did when I first heard it and was moved by it as much as you guys are. You're in for a long journey.

the hype was worth it this reaction is so accurate to how i reacted when i listened for the first time but even more with the background in the forest, perfect vibe

Loving your Radiohead reactions. My favourite band. ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ definitely should be done. I was also thinking you guys should do ‘Siamese Dream’ by The Smashing Pumpkins - it’s a brilliant, consistent and classic album. It’s musically distinctive, it rocks hard in parts, it’s also beautiful, very deep and emotional.

Literally waited for months for this !!!! Did not disappoint!!!!

Enjoy seeing you guys reaction. Been a of Radiohead fan for 30 years now. In Rainbows still blew me away when i downloaded it for $5 the day it came out in 2007. Perfect album. Thanks for kind of reliving that first listen.

Wow, loved this. This is one of my favourite albums ever and this is exactly how I felt listening to it the first time! also your setting was amazing, the woodland and the sunshine slowly setting is just perfect vibes for this! Has made want to go out into nature and listen to this album specifically

Listened to weird fishes during my first acid trip and was never the same afterwards. Felt like I was at heaven's gates. Core memory, for sure.

a moon shaped pool reaction is going to be wild

Bro, I've been waiting so long for this video!, and it's finally here, Your reaction was incredible and captivating, I got goosebumps with every song on this album, I knew you guys would love every song on this album, I really liked your reaction to weird fishes, which is my favorite song. In rainbows is definitely 10 out of 10, S TIER FOR SURE!

I was very touched when you realised that this would turn into a core memory while listening to "Reckoner" 🫂 ... You guys have a wonderful, wholesome friendship and watching you share this moment was incredibly heartwarming. I discovered your channel just yesterday and I'm really moved by your reactions. Keep them coming and enjoy these moments to the fullest. I can picture you in the future, still being close friends, looking back to these reaction videos and rejoicing in those memories: It'll be one of the best feelings in the world, I can promise you that! 😁😊 Fav track: All I Need. I can't get enough of the climax of that song, with the strings almost shrieking among the piano chords and the cymbals... It's just pure bliss... 😍🥰 (That said, Weird Fishes, Reckoner, Videotape, Jigsaw... I mean, there's just too many perfect songs in this album...). 🤩

i love radiohead, I love this reaction, I love y'all, in rainbows is just,, pure, love, happiness, beauty, heaven..

My favorite Radiohead album, amazing reaction. OK Computer and Kid A are masterpieces but this is their best album for me, everything is so clean and polished. And also, you guys should react to all five Vampire Weekend records, I think will blow your minds too!

It’s hard to choose between this and Ok Computer. It just depends on the mood but I come back to this one more often. Thanks guys!

Yeees! I loved your reaction to OK Computer. Wouldn't trust many people to react to In rainbows cause that's my little baby man, but y'all kill it. Much love

great video, love it, but i'm here for a different reason- please react to the king of limbs next, i know people are gonna tell you to skip it, because it's not as significant as their other albums, but it's my favorite album of all time and it's very important for me, so i just want you to listen to it regardless of whether or not you like it.

Very underrated video!!! Love your reactions and interpretations❤️

Y’all killed this video. I love to see my generation finally enjoying Radiohead as much as I do

i had commented on one of the other radiohead videos not too long ago for this album. So seeing this so soon is amazing.

You guys offer some of the best Radiohead reactions imo ❤

for a long time my favorite Radiohead alubum was OK computer, but the more i listened to In Rainbows I realized that this really is the perfect album. Its really damn close between Kid A OKC and In Rainbows in my top 3, but I think In Rainbows takes it.

Not intended as a lecture but fyi men can cry as easily as women to music for this example since you brought it up. Women are only more emotional when on their period (yes) but even then a certain man can be more emotionally vulnerable than a certain woman. These aren't so preditermined by gender and a lot more plays into it. Sincerely, a Dutch psychology student. Love your honest and authentic reactions guys

I have an infinite number of memories with this album... I know it's not what you guys normally do, but I highly recommend checking out the "From the Basement" version of this. It has songs from albums you have already done as well, and it is a whole new vibe to see them in a live yet intimate setting. Especially that drumming because he doesn't miss a beat. For views AND experience I would recommend the order of " In Rainbows: From the Basement", The King of Limbs, "The King of Limbs: From the Basement", then end the Radiohead Journey with A Moon Shaped Pool. Loved the reaction and wish you all the best!

Faust Arp may be my favourite track on this god tier album because the strings are so damn good

Videotape is even BETTER on the live version with eds heavenly guitar

I am loving your channel, exploring some of the all time greats. I guess I should suggest some reactions. One for the channel to keep the 90s run going, a 00s album that deserves an album reaction: Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf. I think the next one you should do. Myself I am a prog-metal nerd, and my favorite album of all time has to be Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime. Can’t wait for more reactions, cheers.

God bless you boys

I love this album its my favorite from Radiohead! and Reckoner is by far my favorite song even though I love all their music , that one just hits different ! subbed love your reactions

I'm from England and have been a Radiohead fan since the early 90's and it's great when I see a rection to my favourite band like both of your reactions. Respect to you both.

I absolutely love watching the next generation discover Radiohead. The first time I heard this album was the summer of 2008-I was 19 years old and was having my first lsd experience…just as it was taking affect my boyfriend at the time put “15 Step” on and we listened all the way to the end of the album. It literally changed my life. This album means so much to me and almost 20 years later I still listen to it all the time.

Nude is a song they’ve been playing live since the OK Computer tour. Used to be called Big Ideas. I always found that so interesting that it took 10 years for them to feel like it was album-ready.

appreciate the Phillip Selway (drummer) appreciation, he's so perfect on every song. Reminds me of Ringo in that he plays perfectly for every song and never overdoes it

Music is so amazing.. i had the exact same feelings the very first time i listened to this album back in 2007... Following you guys from now... Best regards from Venezuela

One of my most recent memories with this album is when I first drove to Jigsaw Falling Into Place. It's the perfect song to drive to

The good news is = There IS a better album out there. The bad news is = I haven’t found it yet

Great reaction, made my day. Next radiohead is a weird one but ya gotta do it. Also a request to get through the "Queens of the stone age" albums PLEASE.

This album was the soundtrack to my last semester of college and the best period of my first relationship. I’d kinda written Radiohead off until I heard it, but I listened to it 4 times in a row nonstop after hearing it for the first time. Weird Fishes is my favorite song of all time, and though I struggle to name a true favorite album I think if I could only bring one to a desert island it would be In Rainbows. It’s the perfect reminder of how beautiful life is in both dark and light times. Really enjoyed seeing it resonate with you guys it brought me back to that time.

I love you guys man

Been waiting for this for forever

Always listen to jigsaw after the bars, best feeling ever

Faust Arps strings and bow is extroninarily beautiful when you listen closely. Unreal music.

Upon first listen, "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" was my favorite

Listen to Grace by Jeff Buckley!!

Watching your videos calm me so much idek why

Unexpected consequence of getting old - watching young people react to our gen's music basically the way we did.

Great video/reaction. One of my favorite albums ever, and my favorite of theirs. Would love to see you guys react to Fleet Foxes!! Think they’d be right up your alley 😁

Yes, Radiohead will get you to um.. ascend..

Your willingness to really invest yourselves in the music is fantastic. Great vid, lads.

1: I love how youre doing this outside. It’s really cool. really, really, cool. Ill subscribe! My first impressions are very strong.

I was in college when this album was released. Soon after release date, my long distance boyfriend (now husband) came to visit me, talking all about this album. The whole piracy thing was a hot button issue, so Radiohead's releasing this as a pay-what-you-want was so revolutionary. Well, I could have gotten this album for free, but as a long-time Radiohead fan, I wanted to at least contribute something, so I opted to pay $5. I think I remember reading something much later that despite the business model, Radiohead did in fact make money despite giving the album away for basically for free. Another thing to mention is this was a fantastic album, & as a huge Radiohead fan, but these aren't exactly the same, some other albums I was listening to around the same time that I can highly recommend are "Friend & Foe" by Menomena and also "Silent Alarm" by Bloc Party.

Thanks for a great reaction. On further listens I think you'll really get even more into Jonny's string arrangements. He really came into his on as a composer around this time. It's amazing how he wrote one of the best scores of all time for "There Will Be Blood" in the same year as this album.

I really recommend an album called Hawaii: Part II by Miracle Musical. I think you will really enjoy it, it has various genres in it.

One of those albums you hear once nd you just dont ever forget.

This cd stayed in my car cd player for 6 months straight once I listened to it

You've got to watch them play this album live from the basement. Absolutely insane.

20:04 Yes Sir, I totally agree. That's my favorite song by my favorite band so it could be my favorite song of all time. Amazing reaction guys, thanks! 👍🏼

Reckoner is what falling in love feels like

Here for it…

great jobs all U2.... I love your reactions

My in rainbows memory is going on a retreat with my best friend, he had just learned jigsaw falling into place the entire way through on acoustic guitar and he would not shut up playing it. I think I heard that song more in three days than the rest of my life, and it remains one of my favourite songs ever for it
