I can see why so many people like the band, but at the same time music from this era was so depressing. I am a huge fan of the music as there is so much to enjoy and take in and absorb but the distraction of the vocals loses me at times. But like the song before, I have a hard time with the solemn lyrical stylings of Yorke. There are so many different sounds and it feels almost futuristic and alien even. “Subterranean Homesick Alien” is a great title and is another astounding track. Can we make this an instrumental instead of with vocals? Seriously, can we!!! This is what i would like to hear more of. The album comes back to life and completely rocks the hell out and finally delivers its big shining moment. The first half of the album is gratifying and exciting but they get too ambitious with the back half and reminds me why I find music from the 90’s to be depressing at times and vocally, Yorke sometimes depresses the hell out of me and I can’t get it in to his vocals. Jonny Greenwood has some fantastic guitar moments supported effortlessly by Phil Seway. “Paranoid Android” is musically brilliant. The song really is trying to go somewhere, but it does also drag out a little too long. There are some nice guitar moments and the drum beats giving the song an almost atmospheric vibe along with the keyboards. I can say I’m not a fan of Yorke’s vocals as they are a little whinny, they drone on a little and aren’t very powerful, but there is also an interesting aspect to them in they way they fit with the music. Since we are hear to discuss the music, let us jump right in with the opening track “Airbag”. This might not be the best album to start with if you are getting in to the band for the first time. Thom Yorke has described the inspiration of this album as Miles Davis’ album “Bitches Brew” which itself is so avant garde. The lyrics were not as personal and the sound saw them move away from their rock sound and go a little more eclectic or should I say electric as the band experimented with so many sounds and instruments and really pushed themselves stylistically and musically. The album was quite different from their previous records as it was very experimental for the band. ‘Ok Computer’ is the band’s third album and was released on and went all the to way #21 on the Billboard Charts and sold over 2 million copies in the U.S. So I chose this as one of the “Never Heard Before Releases” and you guys picked it so it is time to see what all the fuss is about.
I will go ahead and put it out there that I am not a fan of Radiohead, but not listening to all their albums, it isn’t fair to say that I don’t like everything as I hadn’t heard everything. The June choices will be up on Saturday! RADIOHEAD – ‘OK COMPUTER’: Parliament – ‘Mothership Connection’ – 1 Vote.The Rolling Stones – ‘Sticky Fingers – 2 votes.
