"Come on dudes best Rush tune? I'm going all in to give em another go."

I've always loved The Enemy Within, but Jacob's Ladder, The Spirit of Radio and Red Barchetta are faves too.

As groundbreaking as this album is, I much prefer Kid A to this. Climbing Up the Walls still creepy as ever though 0_0

How was this ground breaking? It was kid a that was groundbreaking as it was so different to anything else at the time within the mainstream

Album Rating: 5.0

At the time this was groundbreaking - it was a huge leap from Radiohead and imagine all day you're listening to 3 minute Nirvana and Oasis songs on the radio...and then Paranoid Android drops. No one in the mainstream was releasing stuff like that, there was hardly anything about with prog leanings. Kid A I'd agree was also groundbreaking, an act as successful as Radiohead abandoning rock band conventions was pretty much unheard of.

Just dropping by to say that anybody who thinks this is better than Kid A is nuts

To add to what Doofus said I'll paint you a picture Aero dude.



In the late 90s you received your music through a number of ways.

TV

Radio

Compilations from music mags

Word of mouth.



Prior to OKC you still had everything there at your disposal but it was a lot harder to reach than a key press on an I-Mac.

Stadium rock, alt rock, jangly indie rock all knocked around then this came out and took everything into a new direction, effectively killed 'britpop' and laid down a foundation of experimental rock that voiced pre millennium concerns the like of which the mainstream hadn't seen before.

It was mental.

damn i thoguht polyethylene was a cool dude rip

yea zak automatic for the people pretty much killed music

"laid down a foundation of experimental rock"

Sorry to nitpick, but I'd say "relatively experimental rock" would be far more accurate. This does have experimental tendencies (for something so accessible/commercially successful), but it's far from what I'd label as experimental rock.
