"Radiohead has been actively trying to get weirder since Kid A"

I really don't know what you're taking about there Ars, I honestly think the band just makes what they want to make and I don't see them actively trying to be weird, rather weirdness is just (very, very occasionally) what comes out.

Honestly Radiohead only have a handful of tracks in their discography that I would really describe as "weird", at least primarily so.

I think this album is pretty "weird" in the context of their own discography

@Boner isn't a big part of their appeal that they straddle convention and experimentation, familiar and unfamiliar, rock and electronic, human and machine? They're as close to weird as a really really big band gets imo

i honestly think this is the first album since success where radiohead tried to be something other than exactly what they wanted to be

I feel each album sincerely reflects where the band members were in their careers and their lives

Poly I don't really see that as weird though, just as art

When I think weird I think of it in the sense of being strange sort of for the sake of it in a non serious way and that's not really how I would describe Radiohead

that's a horrible definition of 'weird', closer to 'goofy'

And like Radiohead have always worked within the constraints of conventional song, not that song-based stuff can't be weird though

Radiohead are often strange for sure and weirdness is a form of strangeness but not one I see Radiohead embodying.

Like when I really think about it the only RH songs I would describe as weird are on HtTT and Amnesiac, and maybe TKoL

Weird Radiohead songs:

Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

Sit Down. Stand Up

We Suck Young Blood

The Gloaming

Myxomatosis

Feral (maybe)



And that's honestly about it (in my conception)

Everything in Its right Place, the t/t on Kid A, The National Anthem, Idioteque, and Morning Bell from Kid A are all pretty weird so I have on idea what you're talking about

The National Anthem and (I guess) Paranoid Android are kinda strange though

Fitter Happier doesn't really fit into this discussion - it's an interlude.

I can't believe you don't consider Like spinning Plate weird when it's weirder than most of the tracks you listed
