"There is nothing to fear, nothing to doubt." (Pyramid Song)
I don't know how to start this...but I feel that it must be done. I have to praise them, because they are the definition of amazement. The eye-opening, eternal beauty of their music is unique. They aren't just another band.
They're Radiohead.
"Such a pretty house, and such a pretty garden." (No surprises)
It all began for me, when I listened to their album "Kid A" ten years ago. This record saved my life.
"Kid A" is a blistering mess, constructed with bleeps, noises and Thom Yorke's voice. A huge fucking mess, but still awesome. The combination of minimalistic arrangements and all those little big melodies...
"we're rotten fruit, we're damaged good, what the hell, we've got nothing left to lose." (Backdrifts)
Then I got older. I discovered their early albums, and immediately fell in love with "OK Computer" and "The Bends". I never really liked "Pablo Honey", though. It's a mediocre record with some nice hits, but nothing special.
MORE COOKIES!
"OK Computer" often is viewed as the ultimate Radiohead album, and I can understand this, because it combines the guitar-driven rock songs of the early years with all those complex structures and hiccups of the later years. For all of you, who never really got into Radiohead, "OK Computer" is definitely a good start. But there is more.
"Let's go down the waterfall, Have ourselves a good time, it's nothing at all" (I might be wrong)
Monotony. Sex. Pressure. Trapdoors. Bears.
(bears bears bears bears bears)
Neon lights. Panic. Vomit.
God loves his children.
Radiohead can save your life, too. Their music is transcendental. If they're playing in your country: Go to a concert. It's something you will never forget. They're the best live band on this planet.
"Some friend said Radiohead was boring, I showed him this, he never said it again.":
"I laugh until my head comes off. Women and children first." (Idiotheque)
I've seen it all. I'm home.
"I've no idea what you are talking about." (Bodysnatchers)
