Radiohead are the most banal and insufferable band. They're literally *THE* entry-level, gateway band to 'proper' music, and their naive fans need to stop projecting all this bullshit onto them as if to say they're anything more than that.

If you consider yourself a Radiohead fan, then you simply need to listen to more music beyond the scope of the /mu/ essentials and P4K. Radiohead are white bread and nothing more.

The free jazz-style brass section featured in the song, influenced by jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus,[3] creates a soundscape of chaos, and has been described as "a brass band marching into a brick wall" by one reviewer.[3]
The song also features an Ondes Martenot, played by Jonny Greenwood, an early electronic instrument which was picked up by Greenwood for several songs on Kid A and subsequent albums.[4] Greenwood's usage of it was inspired by the music of Olivier Messiaen.[5]
>It's your argument, you need to explain it.
The string orchestration for "How to Disappear Completely" was influenced by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki.[1] Jonny Greenwood's use of the ondes Martenot on this and several other Kid A songs was inspired by Olivier Messiaen, who popularised the early electronic instrument and was one of Greenwood's teenage heroes.[44] "Idioteque" samples two computer music pieces, Paul Lansky's "Mild Und Leise" and Arthur Kreiger's "Short Piece". Both samples were taken from Electronic Music Winners, a 1976 experimental music LP which Jonny Greenwood had stumbled upon while the band was working on Kid A. Thom Yorke also referred to electronic dance music when talking about "Idioteque", and said that the song was "an attempt to capture that exploding beat sound where you're at the club and the PA's so loud, you know it's doing damage".[7]

>The free jazz-style brass section featured in the song, influenced by jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus
The true beginning of free jazz as it is understood today, however, came with the recordings of Ornette Coleman. Coleman pioneered many techniques typical of free jazz, most notably his rejection of pre-written chord changes, believing instead that freely improvised melodic lines should serve as the basis for harmonic progression in his compositions. His first notable recordings for Contemporary included Tomorrow Is the Question! and Something Else in 1958, garnering Coleman national recognition.[12] In terms of free jazz history, these albums revolutionized concepts of musical structure, as many of the compositions on these two early albums do not follow typical 32-bar form and often employ abrupt changes in tempo and mood.[13]

Radiohead aren't innovative, they never were. They are a great gateway band for more experimental stuff. They make great music with interesting chord changes, time signatures, textures, melodies, blend of electronic/slightly experimental stuff. They have some variety to their sound, and do it really well.

To say they're "innovative" or "the best band ever" is dumb.

To say they're garbage, bland, boring, etc. is also dumb.

OP is just a tryhard baiter using the old "anything that wasn't completely radical and game changing is a 4/10" that Scaruffi often falls into as well.

This argument that National Anthem is an "obvious Mingus rip-off" also rubs me the wrong way.

Radiohead is what you listen to at 16 when you think the 'modern world' is 'too much' (see documentary on why Thom Yorke is so sad he's famous :( :( :( :( ) and think you're an edgy, original kid for listening to literally easy-mode experimental music (which is also unoriginal and ripped on Krautrock and experimental 60s music)

That's actually a reference to the early arrangements of the song, which was specifically influenced by Mingus's "Freedom". But Radiohead abandoned that arrangement of "Pyramid Song", but went on to use the idea for "We Suck Young Blood" instead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg-UzmLB8FM

>>65227191

i know it's a reference to freedom. i know this because they've pointed it out in various interviews. it's not something anyone would have heard if thom hadn't specifically said it was an homage to freedom, that they had handclaps on the original recording, etc. what's so annoying about this post, about mu in general, is you don't have taste or any kind of ear for music. you're presented with a digital buffet and you pick out items that conform to your extremely tedious personal aesthetic without developing actual taste. yes, radiohead are a band many people hear in high school that serve as a gateway to older, more experimental and less mainstream music. i have no problem saying that. the issue is the weird competitive bullshit on this site, talking about fucking tiers of music. the problem is none of you seem to have first hand knowledge or experience actually participating in a music scene. it's all completely detached computer listening, trawling rym, this site, p4k. everything on mu is "entry level".

the string arrangements are more textural, more detailed, and have more interesting interplay with the rest of the songs.

the chord arrangements/choices are less traditional or predictable, kind of reminds me of nick drake or leonard cohen.

the sound design is in my opinion this albums strongest feature. Extremely detailed textural synthesis and sampling woven throughout the tracks.

Also the drums are pretty dope.

All these elements come together to create a very cohesive and functional aesthetic, making this album much better than anything coldplay can do.

Also if you didn't listen on a good sound system or headphones you just straight up didnt listen to this album.

eh, so was Sesame Street: All-Time Platinum Favorites. Maybe we should be talking about that album too.

That's irrelevant.

OKC is an important album, regardless of whether you like it or not.

Coldplay doesn't have a grasp on any sense of atmosphere beyond "arena-sized" (well, except for that one album that sounded like a poor-man's Bon Iver). Radiohead have created powerful sonic environments throughout their discography.

Also, i'm going to take a guess and say that you consider yourself "too cool" to listen to the radio. I actually do listen to radio music, and i can guarantee you, the bulk of radiohead's material isn't accessible enough to get airplay compared to bands like Coldplay.

You could stick all of In Rainbows on a radio station and nobody would notice the difference.
>>
>>65228021
In Rainbows isn't entirely verse-chorus-verse-chorus songs so that's objectively wrong.
>>
>>65224698
Pitchfork likes it, and Radiohead are more intellectual than Coldplay :^)
>>
>>65228032
It's still accessible as fuck, that's what matters.
>>
>>65228056
How is Video Tape as accessible as Beyonce or Maroon 5?
>>
>>65228056
It really doesn't. I can't think of any top 40 single in recent memory that didn't follow a verse-chorus-verse-chorus format outside of hip-hop.

I don't think you seem to realize just how much normal people care about hooks. To a lot of people, if you can't sing along to at least one part of it, then it's "weird".

Sounds like my mom. She likes Coldplay and used to love Radiohead. Her old albums are what got me into them. I think they lost her around Kid A tho. But she really likes AMSP cause of "the strings."
>>
>>65228220
I mean, if you ignore the fact that there aren't much hooks around AMSP, then yeah the arrangements themselves are pretty accessible, but that's not what makes a pop song.

Look at Viva La Vida and Burn the Witch as a comparison: Viva La Vida's chorus has a clear-as-day melodic vocal melody in the chorus that's easy enough for people to remember. Thom's vocals just sort of float over the instrumental in the chorus. There's no hook there. That alone separates it, ignoring the fact that VLV is big and triumphant throughout whereas BTW gets downright unsettling in the build-up of the outro.

Accessible is a relative term, and accessibility isn't the only prerequisite for radio play.

>a zillion replies
>Radiohead fans' best arguments include bread analogies and saying that Radiohead is only one thing they like
why do plebs do this? if they're in a circlejerk indiekid containment zone like Reddit, they'll go on and on about how excellent the Avalanches and Radiohead are, but once they're called out for deifying entry-level shit they either call you a tryhard or say they don't even like the band the best and that they're just good.
>>
>>65228416
you realize radio plays the fuck out of both, right? Radiohead just have longer gaps between albums and don't agree to play at the Grammys or whatever. there's not a musical difference, just Thom being a little cunt about being in a pop band

they write complex songs with actual meaning
>>
>>65224738
The strings in burn the witch use a combination of normal playing and con legno to create a percussive edge.
String parts in other songs contain very abrasive accents and falls.
As far as I know none of these are as present and used effectively in Coldplay as much as it is in AMSP.
>>
>>65230449
>thinks percussive edge to string sections is too much for normies
you do realize that most Coldplay fans also bump loud, abrasive trap music, right? that pop radio right now is playing atonal compositions from Kanye West? it's not fucking 1907. fucking blockbuster movies have scores full of these kinds of accents.

OP is a giant faggot. Just because you claim something so bluntly, doesn't make it true. Radiohead is a fantastic band, bringing something new to the table. If you can't see that, then it's your loss, and certainly not theirs. There are plenty of more experimental artists out there, but quite often, the most experimental music comes off sounding like ass. Other times, it can be done well. Just save everybody the troll, and shut the fuck up.
>>
>>65230494
It's not about the accessibility, it's about if Coldplay did it or not. And if they did, if they did it as well as AMSP.

Who cares about accessibility?

Radiohead has been using strings way before coldplay viva la vida came out, so fuck off with this lame meme

Cold play will never reproduce kid a or amnesiac sound ever. They dont have the talent or skill. They decided to become a top 40 pop garbage band instead because thom yorke rejected them

Radiohead are the most banal and insufferable band. They're literally *THE* entry-level, gateway band to 'proper' music, and their naive fans need to stop projecting all this bullshit onto them as if to say they're anything more than that.

If you consider yourself a Radiohead fan, then you simply need to listen to more music beyond the scope of the /mu/ essentials and P4K. Radiohead are white bread and nothing more
>>
>>65231435
why would they want to. They make far more money doing what they do well.

does coldplay have more music like this please? any reccs?
