really? this is really the best album of all time in RYM? REALLY?
it is the best album of all time. get educated and be depressed your freshman year and go through three break-ups with the third giving you extreme depression and then. you. will. understand. idiot fuck
RIM's top 100 is not a list of "best albums ever. Nowhere on the site is saying that is is.

thats not even the best album of 1997 you pleb fuck. Radiohead is just pop music disguised as experimental shit. get your shit together faggot
It's definitely not amazing or anything but I find it to be a good album. Good balance of adventurous styles and pop songwriting, nice production and musicianship. Only track that's bad IMO is Let Down, a quite dreary and boring song. Let Down is basically what all the detractors of Radiohead say they are.
Kid A is better by a little bit though. If only because Kid A has music that better appeals to my tastes, and is a bit more interesting as a result. Some free jazz, trip-hop, IDM, Ambient, Chamber Pop. Ironically, for all this experimentation I find that Optimistic, a fairly straight forward alt-rock song, is the best out of the lot.
In Rainbows is also pretty good as wel
Unfortunately, their other material hasn't quite resonated with me yet. The Bends bored me to tears, Pablo Honey is the same, The King of Limbs is irritating, Hail to the Thief is too long for how little quality material it has, and Amnesiac is a more dreary and less exciting Kid A (You and Whose Army is GOAT though).

What about The Tourist and Lucky.
Okay /mu/, what's YOUR best album of all time?
>>64325136
>Amnesiac is a more dreary and less exciting Kid A
get aids
Several of the tracks are technically intriguing. For instance, Paranoid Android has time changes from 4/4 to 7/8 back and forth during the middle section, and the guitar part in Let Down is in 5/4, not to mention key and tempo changes out the wazoo, while the rest of the instruments are in 4/4 (albeit i can't really figure that out aside from reading about it).
It's also pretty notable for having more electronics/distorted noises in it than an average 90s alt band. Exit Music (For a Film)'s climax amps up the bass at a ridiculous amount, while songs like Climbing Up the Walls and a bit of Karma Police have distortion to add to the frantics of the song. Electioneering is also pretty electric, but I don't really care for it after my initial love for the album so let's move on.
The album has an overall theming of isolation in the society that the protagonist(s?) live(s) in. Paranoid Android was apparently written after Thom Yorke witnessed a bar fight, and releases a bit of anger about his frustration with peers around him. In fact, that's pretty much most all the album. Subterranean Homesick Alien is about a daydream of leaving Earth and taking a breather from the batshit insane stuff going on here, Exit Music (For a Film) is (in my interpretation, at least) about a couple running away and rebelling from some parent, Fitter Happier is supposed to be a satire about society's bizarre materialism or something (it's a weird-ass interlude), No Surprises is a darker turn down a man's life as he opts for suicide in his depression, and The Tourist is about the character finally slowing down and enjoying life for what it is as he tells others to. There are several theories about this album's concept (or if there is one); for instance, the 'ding' at the end of The Tourist is the car crash at the beginning of Airbag, meaning the album is some loop.

>Revolver
For the while that I misread that as 'Relayer', I would possibly agree.
it's the best album of all time
>>64325427
None of those things are technically intriguing. Get the fuck out of here.

It's my personal favorite of all time, and I loved it before I went on RYM.
I Just find it so engaging and wonderful. Also it's a gateway to so much more music.

I actually think The Tourist is the second worst song. Nice guitar tone and works well as a closer but it goes on way too long for what it is. I don't exactly hate it but I wouldn't listen to it outside a top-to-bottom album listen.
Lucky is better though. Nice Pick Floyd esque chorus, good instrumentation and pacing throughout the verses. My favorite part in particular is the end the chorus. Gloriously calm climax.

lol radiohead is truly for plebs who think they're le deep
this thread was doomed from the start
>>64325016
nice opinion you retarded scaruffi drone. again, radiohead has said a ton of times that they make POP music. they don't want to make experimental shit and they've never pawned it off as that.
but i'm assuming most of the people that talk shit about this album haven't even listened to it so idk why i bother
