My two lowest rated are TKOL and Pablo Honey. Everything else is consistently great. I also have a feeling that I'm about to reverse opinion on TKOL, and probably would appreciate PH more if I bothered to ever listen to it again. Yeah, their prestigious reputation is definitely warranted.

Not many bands can release a consistently brilliant B sides album haha.



Insomniac is so good.

Been revisiting their discog and I’m thinking my updated ranking will look something like this...

Kid A > In Rainbows > OKC > TKOL > Amnesiac > The Bends/AMSP/HTTF? > Pablo

First time IR will be ahead of OKC, HTTF is the biggest ? but I’m cautiously optimistic it’ll improve as I could never quite get into it before, save for a few tracks. Love TKOL, always have.

A few minor tweaks, and this is 100% on point. First three are first three, middle two are middle two, and your order for the final four is correct as is

I’ve always thought you could cut five or six tracks from HTTT and turn it into a top tier Radiohead album. As it stands, way too much filler imo

Yeah I lumped that group together because I’m unsure about HTTR as things stand (it’s also been a while since I revisited AMSP), but the way I ordered them does represent my current ranking.

Reminder. Will dig this after In Rainbow. High hope that it will deliver, im confident.

Why? Because of the convincing review & comments.

Edit: This is differently really good.

Very funny, but



No, but their transition from OK Computer to Kid A was influenced by them ;)

Interesting. I have heard their first two eps a while ago.

Mainly their 3 EPs that came out 1997-1998, but also maybe their debut LP from 1999



Obviously not their other 2 albums though since they came later...

Their influences overlap. You are on to something.

I'll have to check it sometime, when I finally get round to rating this one.

The Beta Band were a warmup act during Radiohead's 2001 Amnesiac tour also :P

Didn't give this the light of day a few years ago, but I like it more now.

As much as this has subsequently changed the musical landscape and is possibly the pivotal moment in putting the sword into traditional ‘rock’ music which was started by OKC the absolute single defining moment for Radiohead for me is their Glastonbury ‘97 performance. Legendary stuff.
