>le 'quality is proportional to obscurity' meme XD
>>62554411
that description has nothing to do with quality
I was hoping I'd find a Radiohead thread so that I wouldn't have to make a new one to post this.
I just recently realized I don't think Radiohead is that good.
>>62554098
falsetto and sads
>>62554098
At first it might bore you if you aren't into ambient or IDM but by the time The National Anthem kicks in, you might like it a lot more. Great fusion of experimental rock and IDM for most of the songs after.
>>62554411
saying that music was meant for babies implies poor quality

I will never understand this Aphex Twin meme
There's literally ONE song on the album that straight up sounds like it could be Aphex Twin and that's Idioteque

so... you're actually retarded? or that or you didnt listened to the album paying atention
the kid a percussion? the treefingers ambient/drone? get your shit together fâm

better than radioshit, kys redditor
>>62557380
>Percussion in one song
>Treefingers ambient/drone
Lmao, Aphex Twin these two things before anyone else, you're right
It's distinctly him
>>62555472
were you replying to >>62554445 ?
>>62557131
Seriously? The title track is basically a different version of aphex's flim
>>62557340
>>62557380
Are you being serious? Aphex Twin didn't invent drone ambient and Treefingers doesn't sound like his ambient stuff at all.
The title track and Idioteque do sound like something Aphex Twin or Autechre could have done, but some people accuse the whole album of being a Warp Records copy and that's fucking dumb. It's just two songs.

it's kind of okay. i don't feel strongly towards it desu
ICE AGE COMING ICE AGE COMING
really lame music for kids who just got done reading about existentialism on Wikipedia
blockbuster film score-tier obnoxious/useless
lol @ the afx comparisons in this thread, like the only other electronic music Radiohead fans can wrap their heads around the mere existence of is fucking aphex twin, out of everything else.
>>62559615
Radiohead said Kid A was very influenced by Aphex...
>>62559900
except thom yorke literally says he listened exclusively to afx and autechre during kid a u dumb fuck
>>62559907
right? i agree
What am I in for with this?
>>62559943
except thom yorke is about as stupid and complacent as his fans and he did a piss-poor job at imitation regardless
>>62560007
even more banal music
>>62559900
Thom: "I'd say the one that was most um, influential—for me—is called “Freeman, Hardy and Willis Acid”, and it's by Squarepusher, and Aphex Twin. And it was from a—it's from a commemorative Warp album. I heard it on John Peel when I was driving and I had to stop the car, ‘cause I was going to get into an accident. And uh—um... uh—it's basically—it just basically completely changed the way I thought about music. There's a couple of things that—there's a few things in my life that have just completely changed the way I thought about music, and that was one of them. Another one was, you know, Mingus, and another one was hearing Queen when I was ten, you know. And that was—that was one of those times. I wouldn't say it was any particular emotion attached to it, other than seeing God, really. You know, when you... when you hear music, in particular, that is sort of, you know... it's sort of like you believe in God sort of thing. Anyway, it sounds really wanky but it's true. You know. It's so violent. This track is so violent, and it's so destructive. And it's so uh—frightening, in like a really weird way. Um—and that sort of fright was basically what stook[sic]—it stayed with me when we were trying to do Kid A and Amnesiac... that level of fright
Thom said that in regards to influences during Kid A and Amnesiac...
>>62554098
senpai senpai senpai, just listen to this instead; two birds with one stone and shit.
>>62560058
>all those pauses
lmfao
>>62560055
except you're changing the goal posts, and I was explaining why radiohead fans are making afx twin comparisons, and what you just said has nothing to do with what i said
>>62559900
Here's another
Thom: “Aphex [Twin] opened up another world that didn’t involve my fucking electric guitar, and I was just so jealous of that whole crew. They were off on their own planet. I hated all the music that was around Radiohead at the time, it was completely fucking meaningless. I hated the Britpop thing and what was happening in America, but Aphex was totally beautiful, and he’s kind of my age too. He’s a massive influence.”
>>62558942
I died
>>62560123
i'm not changing the goalposts, i think you're giving radiohead fans a little too much credit here.
>>62560167
You say Radiohead fans are making AFX comparisons because that's all they know about electronic music
I countered and said it's a justified comparison because Thom Yorke said he listened exclusively to AFX and Autechre during Kid A
>except thom yorke is about as stupid and complacent as his fans and he did a piss-poor job at imitation regardless
wut
>>62560160
>meaningless
so, mr. yorke really does have self-awareness issues. as if there's any sort of meaning present in anything Him And Uh The Other Guys I Guess did past ok computer.
and his solo shit doesn't even deserve to be commented on. give me a break tommy.
>>62560222
I don't think it's because of that, you underestimate the stupidity of radiohead fans.
>>62560281
At least try to justify your point or explain this amazing post
>except thom yorke is about as stupid and complacent as his fans and he did a piss-poor job at imitation regardless
>>62560281
What are you saying?
>>62560350
you'd agree with me if you listen to more music, trust me.
>>62560351
what I'm saying is th
>>62560408
Explain to me your point. Seriously you're dodging so badly right now, trust me.
>>62560461
my point is that kid a is watery, hilariously shallow, hilarious, obnoxious, hackneyed, literally etc. it's like if a blockbuster, special effect-inclined movie was made about experimental rock music.
>>62560535
I guess I was wrong to say "explain to me your point", since I know that this post has nothing to do with your original post; you're literally just spouting your opinion on the album.
I wanted you to justify as to why you think Radiohead fans are dumb to make AFX comparisons.
>>62560642
mostly because it's not a very good comparison. many other acts sound infinitely more like kid a than anything afx has done.
>>62560704
That's not a good argument since Thom Yorke has said that he listened to AFX and Autechre exclusively during the making of Kid A. There's no doubt that Kid A, Treefingers, and Idioteque are influenced by Kid A.
>>62560751
They were most definitely influenced by AFX. I think what he's saying is that kid A doesn't sound anything like afx, and there is more electronic music out there that sounds more relatable to radiohead than afx. Cause AFX has a pretty distinctive sound
>>62560797
He's saying that it's dumb for radiohead fans to make that comparison since that's apparently all they know, which don't think that makes sense because >>62560751.
>>62558942
b-but rubber soul isn't random
you failed at trying to make fun of based brian
>>62560842
Well it kind of is dumb in a way, cause they aren't really similar in anyway, other than there are synths used. The music is totally different. Not really saying it's different in a bad way, but totally different. I like radiohead and love afx, but they aren't really comparable.
>>62561005
I would argue that Kid A sounds similar to Flim; Treefingers sounds like his ambient stuff; and Idioteque sounds like his drumbeat stuff.
You seriously can't say that comparisons are "dumb", especially since Thom Yorke said he listened to afx and autechre exclusively during kid a.
I honestly can't believe one would say a fan is dumb for making these comparisons, especially considering the words coming out of thom yorke's mouth
>>62561005
Actually they really fucking are.
Thom Yorke even listed AFX and Autechre as influences, among other artists. He was going for a distinct electronic sound, so they are comparable. They really are comparable, have you listened to both Kid A and AFX and Aphex Twin? Cool, then you would know where Thom got his influence from.
>>62558942
>>62554098
Ur gonna love it m8
Also, if for som reason you don't love it, plz remove urself from the gene pool
>>62561156
Influence and an actual product are totally different things. Radiohead and Thom were massively influenced by aphex during kid a and amnesiac. Their music sounds totally different though. That's like saying if I'm a writer and fancy harry potter, so I go write my own book about 9/11 that they are similar. They are not really
>>62561287
>music sounds totally different though
No, it really doesn't. He was talking about style, not literally note by note, beat by beat similarities.
>>62561287
You're just fucking wrong. Radiohead put their influences into their actual music. They might not have written about the same themes that Aphex Twin or whomever did but they are stylistically and sonorously similar nonetheless. Same with your joke comparison about Harry Potter and 9/11. If you fancy the writer, you're not going to write about the same exact topics as her, but you're going to write in the same style and with the same approach.
>>62561331
The style is completely different...Just cause they both used synths and drum machines doesn't mean they sound alike..The patches sound different, the drum programming is different.. Some of the patches they used sounds more like boards of canada than AFX
>>62561369
You should pay more attention to detail, and not be so bent
>>62561287
If you like Harry Potter you would be a terrible writer and your book would be completely irrelevant
>>62561378
But their style is influenced from AFX, doesn't have to sound like them at all. They made their influences unique in their own way, doesn't mean they didn't have influences
>>62561409
You should do you, and quit using ad hominems. Instead of attacking me for being "bent" (you think the ladies don't make fun of me enough for this), you should get actual arguments.
>>62561378
You've got to be kidding me man
>>62561409
>pay attention to detail instead of actual fundamentals
How does this make any sense
>>62561421
Exactly. That's all I'm trying to say. They were heavily influenced by AFX to make electronic music. So they did, and it's good. But it doesn't sound like afx, they made up their own sound.
>>62561449
>you should do you
wat
>>62561473
But it does sound like them fundamentally. It's just on the surface it doesn't. Like you know in the back of your mind that this is where they got their influences from, even if it doesn't sound like those influences at all. Like, it reminds you of them and you know it's where they're from, so they don't physically sound like them, but spiritually and implicitly.
>>62561514
who, aphex?
>>62561542
I'm referring to Radiohead's influences, so yes, Aphex and Autechre. They don't necessarily sound like them, but their music conjures up memories and images of them in the spiritual, mental plane
>>62561514
>Like, it reminds you of them and you know it's where they're from, so they don't physically sound like them, but spiritually and implicitly.
Totally, sure
>>62561565
aphex? maybe.
autechre? nah.
>>62561473
Honestly just straight up, I don't believe you when you say you think that their styles are "completely different". There's no way in hell you think that Kid A and AFX are analogous to Harry Potter and 9/11, or even remotely analogous.
>>62561580
I'm guessing sarcasm? How old are you dude, to use sarcasm? 17?
>>62561586
I don't think you've listened to any Autechre then. Let me refer to you then before more shit comes out of your mouth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWGUnrIiOoI
>>62556388
>radiohead are interesting, unique or obscure
>>62561639
That wasn't sarcasm. I totally agree with you. You can tell they were influenced, just by listening to their music, even if they didn't say they were influenced by AFX.
I agree you can hear the influences in their music, but it doesn't sound like afx. I don't see why that is so confusing or insulting.
>>62561719
It insults and confuses me because you're literally paradoxically saying that Radiohead sounds like their influences but doesn't sound the same as their influences.
THEY WERE INFLUENCED BY AFX. THEY WERE INFLUENCED BY AFX. THEY WERE INFLUENCED BY AFX.
How many times do I have to write this down before it gets into your fucking skull, honkey?
>>62561633
They are completely different. There is so much electronic music out there, just cause you hear synths and electronic drums, doesn't mean they sound like AFX. Just cause they use similar tools doesn't mean they make the same things.
>>62561639
I've been an AE fan for years mate - have even met Sean and Rob.
I hear nothing of them in Kid A, certainly not anything from EP7/Dropp, and have never understood the comparisons. Their approach to melody, timbre and rhythm is completely different - as well as there philosophy when it comes to experimentation and their bboy mentality/ultra competitiveness - so I don't get the "spiritual" thing either. Not even a slight on Thom, and I get that he's a fan, but I don't think it translated to the final product. I hear much more Aphex - the title track for instance shares a similar sensibility to Richard in terms of melody.
>>62561818
You're a good liar.
>>62561787
Because they started using electonics.. Who else was doing that around that time, AFX, Squarepusher, Luke vibert, Jeff Mills, etc. So you can tell that's where they got the influence from. That doesn't mean they sound like techno, or drum n bass, or anything like that. They use synths.
Just cause someone plays a guitar doesn't mean they sound like elvis.
>>62561788
No dude, there are definitely some simlarities beyond the instruments. And the fact that they use similar instruments negates your claim of their styles being "completely different".
>>62561787
Also how many times do I have to say that I know that they were influenced buy AFX. I even posted bits from interviews here earlier. Still doesn't make them sound like their influences.
>>62561900
Even AFX said he thinks radiohead is shit...
>>62561919
>Still doesn't make them sound like their influences.
You're spouting BS and you know it. I'm done here goddamn
>>62561842
lol, nice refutation.
the only time i've heard any resemblance between the two are in the first thirty seconds of acroyear2.
>>62561977
How can you not see/hear the difference. Lol. Maybe you should listen to more electronic music to broaden your spectrum
>>62561966
That doesn't matter, and has nothing to do with my point
>>62554098
over-hyped melodramatic crap. lol
>>62561966
pretty much all good musicians think this
>>62554411
>implying that just because a band doesn't get radio play means they're obscure
A band who has headlined coachella fest is hardly obscure
