What I love about Up On The Ladder from the second disc is that the bass guitar and keyboard are at the forefront. It could have been a typical post-punk song from 1981.

It also feels very proto-Oceansize to me. The mood and overall stylistic influence can be found in a couple of their songs, most prominently on Meredith

Still haven't checked one of their albums, which one do you recommend for a new listener like me?

Always an interesting question.
Do you want something accessible, that will grow on you quickly? Then go with Everyone Into Position (this one contains Meredith, so this maybe the closest to Radiohea dthey ever got - though the similarity is much more based on overall feel/mood than on their sound palettes - Oceansize is pretty proggy/post rockish and heavier than RH)
Are you in for a challenging start, with albums that are considered their masterpieces? Then go with either Effloresce or Frames - the averages do not lie, i can tell you this much

I always go chronologically, so personally i would start with Effloresce.
Musically speaking, it is kind of a concept album, because each instrumental is followed by a three-song stretch of a certain sound (e.g. post rock, progressive rock) - though no song sounds like the other and they still retain some small elements from each of the other section

Nice, that sounds interesting. I'm all for going chronologically, thanks for telling me what to expect.

the ending to ''Weird Fishes" is incredible. the ''i hit the bottom, i hit the bottom and escape'' part.

Agreed, such an amazing song. The way the guitar fades in and plays that ascending melody in the outro is pure bliss.

Talons, are you talking about the arpeggiated ostinato? Cause I wouldn't call it a melody personally.
Now what comes in shortly after the drum break, that's a melody and a half!

Get a load of fancy city boy over here using words like ostinato and arpeggiated and telling me what's a melody and what isn't. Just kidding you sound like you know what you're talking about, but I'm not entirely sure; I meant the last minute or so of the song where the guitar part comes back in, it's more subdued and melded with the synths and background sounds.

So the 3-note arpeggio it is then I guess. And I'm not tellin you what is and what's not, it was merely from a theory standpoint ;)
Still debating whether the instrument halfway through the drum break is a bass guitar or a bass heavy rhythm guitar. Could be both. Either way, that part is what makes the song for me. It simply elevates it into another realm that one rarely hears in music. And yes, that lovely 3 over 4 guitar arpeggio also contributes greatly to that.

I was just kidding around, I actually like talking theory even tho I don't understand all of it. And agreed that everything going on in Weird Fishes contributes to its greatness.

Yes, everything. Especially in the last minute. Those synth swells among what is mentioned already, too good...

Just passing by to say that this is f**ing great. I should revisit this more often.
