  • Hi everybody. . . go over to CommunistNihilist's videos. Better than these, which cut off the ends. Annoying.

  • Love the bass line...

  • 3:34 to 5:36 are my favorite 2 minutes of music ever

  • One of the reasons I like radiohead as a rock band is that they don't sound like the typical generic rock band sound. They have their own sound. (very electronica). So since they're electronica, when they do an actual hard rock song like this, it's like the song is generic, but not generic at the same time because it's not the average song they make. I love bands that have that style. For some reason it draws me in.

  • @MoreParksLessParking Not sure if you know this already but that rock band tone you're referring to is called crunch or distortion.

  • @Iknowgoodmusic that's exactly how i feel. same songs too.

  • Damn, TKOL is severely lacking in comparison to this or any of their previous work.. Maybe they should "Give Up The Ghost". They somehow mustered a rare sublime record/second breath in a band's career with Rainbows, but new record is fuckin' tired..except for Codex that's a great song.

  • @kenrben TKOL is amazing. But i guess im the one whose favorite Radiohead albums are Amnesiac, and Kid A TKOL is supposed to be for the Radiohead fans that love their experimental stuf. There wont be another album like this. The closest there is was Hail to the Thief. Which is better than OK Computer

  • @talkingbeatlehead Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty heavy into "experimental" music but IMO TKOL isn't even stand-out in that arena.. Maybe I just haven't let it take yet. I agree with the Hail To The Thief comparison, I still think that and everything else they have put out(excluding Pablo Honey of course ha) are better records, and after 4 years in the studio?

  • My fave song from this album. Thanks for posting!

  • This is a song I could honestly say I would never get tired of hearing. Like in a bar. Im tired of hotel california and don't stop believing being played by white trash over and over again.

  • This song always made me feel like I was in some kind of fucked up cartoon.

  • the panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit....

  • u know dude... i just... fuckin love you for uploading all this <3

  • When I ask people why there are not bands like there were in the 70's and they point me towards Radiohead, and I hate that for some reason lyrics/songwriting has completely overtaken the importance of being able to play an instrument really well. There is no modern day Zappa or Yes (and Mars Volta is shit.)

  • @fashioncorpse I have to say, who IS zappa, was he in a band, cuz i look all over and find very little

  • @uvebeentagged Frank Zappa! Frank Zappa is one of the most important song writers of the 20th century in a lot of people's opinions. He has over 60 albums. He was an insane guitar player and composer.

  • @BigTymerPimp  I saw Zappa at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin TX in about '79 with the band including George Duke...Played for 3 hours non-stop...He was an incredible talent...anyone who didn't see him live lost out bigtime.

  • @clyde8her Dude, I'm from Zappa's home town. I have a few instructors at my college that will talk about going to school with him and seeing him play after school. Unfortunately he died shortly after I was born so I wasn't able to ever seen him live.

  • @fashioncorpse Why would you want a carbon copy of a band like Yes and Frank Zappa? That's like listening to a cover song that sounds exactly like the original.

    Also, The Mars Volta may not be your cup of tea, but that doesn't make them bad musicians. Their efforts and have already influenced HUNDREDS of musicians within the last 10 years alone. Maybe you wish this was the 70's, but progressive music is called so for a reason. There are tons on virtuosos out there if that is what you want.

  • I don't know if anyone agrees with me that the change in music from 3:33 onwards is absolutely beautiful & heartfelt, completing this brilliant track. ''Greed makes you look very ugly'' Thom Yorke

  • believe me or not, i have buy the vinyl version of this album and compare to the CD that i listen in the mid 90's it's sound clearly better than the CD, i wonder if they do a remix for the vinyl pressing, because there is much stereo space between the mix, like listening a Qsound mix.

  • Just a bunch of noise

  • Have heard this countless number of times .. but still sounds fresh and uplifting

  • This song was sampled by Girl Talk! Thats where I have heard it before!

  • i can get used to this band but there overrated even though there considered underrated. people consider this the best album ever but how can it be better than led zepplin III, dark side of the moon or queens greatest hits II. i think the end user feels magnanimous making this choice when really there forcing themselves to like it. the worst thing is radiohead actually believe there own hype, and are stuck up. comments please

  • @LIVEREALFOOLED

    Actually, the pressure of this album being routinely voted the greatest rock album ever, very nearly did Thom Yorkes head in. These days they try not to pay too much attention to hype. It simply pursues them. And no, there is not a basis in image-consciousness associated with the reputation of this album. It generated a buzz, and has withstood relentless scrutiny ever since. On the contrary, it's the attention that has continued to reveal just how great this work really is.

  • @Hzqi remember the influx of indie bands? publicists were saturating the industry with obscure bands ten to the dozen week in week out. people got fed up it never reflected general opinion we were forced to except their opinion. originality went out the window and now there isnt an yard stick any more, just over friendly critics promoting obscure indie bands into the mainstream. these are the same who promote the hype associated with radiohead. image-conciousness? you bet

  • @LIVEREALFOOLED

    That influx was the same one that saw RADIOHEAD initially dismissed as a non-stayer with one hit. The bets back then were being placed squarely behind the likes of SUEDE and THE VERVE. There was a lot of "image-consciousness" floating around, but the idea that it guided the ascension of RADIOHEAD is wayward. They were in fact written off BY the image conscious.

  • @LIVEREALFOOLED

    PS. Informative, civil discourse? On YOUTUBE?!

    Is that a horseman I see out my window?

  • No one pushes my buttons more than Radiohead.

  • @psychoanomaly1 In a good way I presume?

  • @jakobstelzner Yes, even if it hurts.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG SO FUCKING MUCH!!!!!

  • @Vi123456789Va Me2, it really helped me put my life inperspective......"whats thereeeeeeeee.....

  • Overrated song.

    Airbag and Let Down are better.

  • @Mr11MUSICMAN Agreed, although I also immensely enjoy Subterranean and Lucky.

  • @jakobstelzner DON'T FORGET NO SURPRISES!

  • @Mr11MUSICMAN I thought that was a given.

  • Simon0 is right. the last seconds are missing, and some of the best parts of the song too. crucial man.

  • "i may be paranoid, but I am no android" what do we learn from this line? actual computers that are paranoid are less androids than the regular adapted guy.

  • you missed the last few seconds!!

  • @unwieldyish

    I waited on a street corner and sucked dick... I made up to $130 a day, and so can you!

  • its about time someone did the obvious and put this great album on here

  • great song from great band

  • me encanta esa cancion y ese albun es lo mejor I love radiohead

  • que orgasmo de rola

  • in the whole album i think this is their best song

  • happy towel day (late)

  • By far their best album, although I love jus bout all their music....great band live too!

  • THIS is art... brilliant.

  • So it's just a whiny emo track and a faux-rock track, and you switch at random points. And this is musical genius. I promise I'm trying to give this music a fair chance, but I cannot understand this stuff. (is a massive fan of everything from folk to dance to metal)

  • @7j8i9m I'm not surprised there are people who don't like Radiohead.

    To really appreciate and understand the songs completely, the listener has to have a deep, and complex mind. Maybe it's that "fan of everything" stuff that "blinds your eyes" to the true feeling of this music. Sorry for bad english, I'm brazilian.

  • @IrmaodoDark can u give me a brief description of what the background meaning of this song is pls?

  • @7j8i9m

    Try listening it with your soul.

  • So this is Radiohead? Damn... I really like it.

  • tbh you have to raise your hat to technology for giving me access to great music like this.

  • Imo the reason or reasons why It hasn't been duplicated or there has ben absolutely no growth for rock in any "grand-breaking" album way, is simple, this is still the most deftly delivered & up to date reference on modern humanities fear, motivation or lack there of, and insensitive way of life. In a sense thone yorks cry for humanity, we ARE giving in to the technology, ppl in a hurry to go nowhere DO need TO "SLOW DOWN!", & ambition can make any of us ugly cuz by human nature we want more!

  • This was & still is THE blueprint for the future of rock since It's 1997 release. This is not a mere rock band classic this is a near-perfectly and thematicaly concieved leap frog for rock music, rock SHOULD have built on top of this blueprint by now.. & the album is sad/yet beautiful because it's immersive melody accopanies lyrics of the relavent truth, dealt in a masterfull way end to end. Orwellian-ish social commentary hits home more than ever, technology addiction-cell phones dehumanization

  • haha `lesser persons`

    Way to be an elitist prick. Just because someone isn`t into a certain genre or band or artistic style doesn`t make them lesser, it just means they have different taste.

    You`re an asshole.

  • they are awesome. but i still feel the vocals bring it to some sort of depressing mood(and ofcourse the minor keys). i love this music but at the same time hate that it seems like a bring down.

  • They are very artistic - which means that lesser persons might not warm to them.

    That being said - most people I know who like Radiohead fall into two categories - those who like a limited selection of earlier material, and those who grew with them and like the range of styles and genres they offer across their career...

  • dude as popular as they are I dont think they're not accepted and I agree they're hard to get into but once you get into them its awesome :)

  • @Friday9951 I think there is a third that likes their new stuff, the ambient and expermintal stuff compared to there older more mainstream sound.

  • Or just those who like quality music.

  • @Friday9951 I noticed that some site had an "overall" list of best albums ever made, compiled from many other such lists. OK Computer was listed at number 1.

    So far, I'm bored. Perhaps it's because I listen to intricate shit that would make your head spin, but I'm having trouble believing that OK Computer should be a number 1 album OR that the people who don't like it are "lesser persons"--I'm thinking maybe the sheep that DO like it are the "lesser" if anything.

    Prove me wrong.

  • @Xiatter well bro radiohead isnt about this main stream shit that all teenagers buy into now adays but its not the most difficult stuff either. The trick to Radiohead isnt about how the guitar solos sound, but its about the passion and the way that its used int every song. Every song is sung with such passion that it doesnt need something to make it good. The words itself should make u feel if u really listen. You dont over analyse it u just listen for where the power is bit by bit. Hope I help

  • @23LebronKobe

    I would say that HOW they sound is exactly the point.

  • @Xiatter intricacy is for another place, this place is for deep reflection, when i want to mention intricacy i watch nile, or dying fetus, but i dont mention chill out on those pages :O)

  • @Xiatter

    I listen to "intricate shit" too. Intricate has no bearing on excellence. It's just a resource. When intricacy begins to be the ends rather than means, art is nothing more than a pretentious exercise in masturbation.

  • @Xiatter The idea is, everyone has different tastes in music, music is very subjective. Just because many people do like this album does not make them "Sheep". Many people find this album appealing, whereas you do not. One man's love is another man's hate.

  • @Xiatter thankyou for sharing, and just to let you know none cares as to what you think.

    but if you couldnt tell you cant prove opinions wrong idiot.

  • hahahaha

  • It should be considered art.

  • noo... it IS art. no questions asked

  • you're a dumbass.

  • Wszystkie utwory radiohead sa przecudowne. Kocham ten Zespöl

  • Jeden z lepszych utworów Radiohead. Poamiętam z Ergo Proxy.

  • when i am king you will be the first against the wall

  • i think thieir music creates an atmosphere, and thats the kind of music i like...like floyd

  • I understand what you're saying but Pink Floyd will always be many levels greater than any band that has come out in the last 20 years.

  • I actuall agree

  • @RushYesCrimson Pink Floyd will always be many levels greater than any band.. period. I've kept optimistic and have hoped to be proven wrong but that has yet to happen.

  • @btuc401 I have and always will love Floyd. But generationally speaking, the 90's had Smashing Pumpkins and the 2000's have radiohead. No offense and I dont want you to take it in a wrong sense. but time marches on and we all get left behind unfortunately.

  • @cglawrence Alright but I just can't see how either can even compare to the Floyd. They were pioneers.

  • @btuc401

    I find Radiohead's music to be much stronger than Pink Floyd's I love Pink Floyd, but Radiohead pushes rock in ways it has never been pushed and probably never will be again.

  • ...Or...people appreciate Radiohead for the sound and lyrics...Not because it's "underrated"

  • Naaaaaaah that couldn't be....

  • I appreciate Radiohead for their lyrics and musical talent. Their artwork is equally neat. They are underrated.

  • I really dont think so... you mean they dont have the merchandising support of some music acts, no?

  • I think that they have been promoted well by EMI/Capitol. They also promote themselves well with live shows and their blogs on the official website.

  • underrated o_0 ? hahahahaha...I guess they're overrated.

  • the dust and the screaming

    the yuppies networking

  • WarrenNesteruk u r a douchebag, and dont mention the floyd again ...your not worthy,..musically ignorant person that you are ...pig man

  • I totally agree.

  • Comment removed

  • What's your problem, WarrenNesteruk? Radioheads fucking amazing, if you can't see that i dunno what to tell ya. They aren't boring at all, their music is beautiful.

    Personally my favorite album is Hail to the theif..btw lol

  • Maybe one greatest album of the last decades??-e...Ampition makes you look pretty ugly.....

  • HI XD. Just wanna' thank you for all the work you've put in to this.. It's great.. Radiohead rules..

  • paranoid android is the best radiohead song, but along with:

    creep, the national anthem, motion picture soundtrack and the last song on amnesiac (lol, i don't remember it)

    amnesiac is the latest radiohead's good album

  • progreadicto, there is no "best Radiohead song". They're all amazing.

  • that's true, amnesiac is one of the best, the song Like Spinning Plates on I Might Be Wrong Live recordings is awsome!

  • Almost like Gen X's Dark Side of the Moon, i think.

  • Why am I seeing this statement spread everywhere lately? Frankly, does my generation really need a "Dark side of the Moon"?

    (I'll take a Cardiacs album any day over Radiohead).

  • Every generation needs a Dark Side of the Moon. Although no album will ever surpass its quality.

  • Every generation needs what it always lacks, an identity of it's own, not the enshrinement of someone else's ideas and works who happen to be of that particular generation.

  • I love every part of this song... the final part is very touching :)

  • along with every song they have made!

  • One of the best songs EVER!

    And the album as well.

    What a great band!

  • sublime

  • best song in history!

  • THEIR FUCKING BEST SONG!

    along with Idioteque .

  • along with Creep

  • along with jigsaw falling into place and fake plastic trees

  • i love this entire album, there's not a song on it that i dont love

  • @deadhead71177 fitter happier?

  • thanks for putting this song on....takes us back x
