Jedinica iz principa. // Bila bi jedinica ko kuća, ljudi koji vole radiohead su dobro, dobro zaostali u razvoju.
This is the hundred fourteenth album I’m rating. Ever since I listened to The Bends I've become a Radiohead hater. Adding to my Playlist - Nothing. Not Adding to my Playlist - 2 + 2 = 5 (The Lukewarm.), Sit Down. Stand Up. (Snakes & Ladders.), Sail to the Moon. (Brush the Cobwebs out of the Sky.), Backdrifts. (Honeymoon is Over.), Go to Sleep. (Little Man being Erased.), Where I End and you Begin. (The Sky is Falling in.), We Suck Young Blood. (Your Time is Up.), The Gloaming. (Softly Open our Mouths in the Cold.), There, There. (The Boney King of Nowhere.), I Will. (No Man's Land.), A Punchup at a Wedding. (No No No No No No No No.), Myxomatosis. (Judge, Jury & Executioner.), Scatterbrain. (As Dead as Leaves.), and A Wolf at the Door. (It Girl. Rag Doll.). All in all I liked 0/14 songs. Radiohead fucking sucks and every single person who likes the band needs to be lobotomized. Boring trash.
I've tried to like this bend but nope. Too whiny for me.
I can't. I just freakin can't listen to this,
No thanks
With a gun to my head I'm forced to choose between Radiohead and Oasis. I beg to pull the trigger.
CRap
Screamy pretentious (Experimental) Electronica. Relistening didn't change this view.
I have to be running out of Radiohead albums, right? How many are on this list....all of them? Couldn't we have one less of these and maybe put a classic delta blues LP or krautrock album that deserves more attention? This shit is edgy and avant-garde for people who think music rooted in self-indulgence and untreated emotional disorders are genius.
I didn't really care much for many of the songs on the album. Myxomatosis was the only song on the album I sorta liked. It felt like someone tried to recreate Beck without having Beck's writing chops.
First listen. Literally no redeeming qualities. One of the worst albums I have heard in my entire life. The singer sounds like Yoko Ono. The songs do not flow well together, the instruments sound un-coordinated and like a jumbled mess. This album is like losing your virginity, teenagers awkwardly going at it and afterwards at least one of them is going to think this is the best thing they ever did. 1/10
I liked a lot of the music on this, but that constant falsetto singing made me want to stick a screwdriver in my ear. I know in what high regard this band is held and I don't doubt they deserve it, but this just reaffirmed my desire to never knowingly listen to this band (other than Creep of course, 'cause I'm a basic bitch).
So, this is the only Radiohead album I've heard, and I can say that I don't feel like I'm missing anything by skipping this band for the rest of my life. Kinda lame trip hop with stilted (early) Pink Floyd attempts. All that thrown together with mumbled Michael Stipe vocals (which blessedly helped me not pay to the lyrics). I was going to single out one song, but the whole album is just so pretentious. I just don't see what the hell the music world sees in this band. It's ok, but it's not the second coming of the Beatles. How does this move someone? How is this fun to see live? How is this enjoyable in any situation? This is just an exercise in pretentious art rock. I'm fine with being out of touch here. There's a whole bunch of other bands I'd rather listen to than spend another 56 minutes with these fools.
I'm in this weird situation where I know I hate Radiohead but on the other hand I can't recall listening to any of their songs ever. After listening to this I remember why. The tracks are all so jumbled and incoherent. The singing voice is... really something. I'm sure some people like it but this is absolutely not for me. I'm sure I won't remember a single track by tomorrow and I'll be unclear why I hate Radiohead again within 3 years.
-1 for the sheer amount of boredom injected into each song -1 for Thom Yorke's whiny vocals -1 for the consistent malaise that the music elicits -1 for making me listen to 16 versions of the same song +1 because they can play instruments well enough and giving this a 0 is not an option
Could not finish this one.
I really like some Radiohead and Thom Yorke, but this album wasn’t listenable to me. It was like a whiny stream of consciousness. No discernible melodies or enjoyable songs.
SO DEPRESSING AND EVERY SONG SOUNDS THE SAME!!! -10 STARS (if only)
I nearly fell asleep. Where is the ROCK?
Like petting a hedgehog backwards. Thom Yorke, I hate your contribution to music.
I've tried and tried real hard, but I can't find any reason why anyone would want to listen to this! Ever!
Can’t believe this has made me listen to a full Radiohead album. I was concerned when I started this about what kind of Radiohead we were getting, the end of 2 + 2 = 5 got me a little excited, then everything fell apart again. As usual I like all the little moments of electronica stashed away in here in songs like Sit Down Stand Up and Backdrifts, but this was a bit of a slog. Imagine being able to make a song that sounds as cool as Myxomatosis & then you make people listen to 40 minutes of bland sad boy music to get to it. ‘a punch up at a wedding’ is an incredible name for a song - even if the song itself doesn’t feel like a punch up at a wedding. After the final song, Bodysnatchers played and I thought ‘oh maybe there is a little more life in this’ before realising it was from a completely different album. Added that to my playlist though, so we’ll done Thom. 1 song added to both playlists. 2 added to my playlist if you include Bodysnatchers, which you shouldn’t.
I don’t listen to radiohead anymore
Not a fan
Probably the most annoying vocals of any album maybe ever made! BY GOD
Not a Radiohead fan particularly anyway but this album just wasn't for me at all
Bekomme ich noch ein Radiohead-Album vorgeschlagen, raste ich aus
1001 albums... 786 of which are Radiohead. Yawn. Next. 1 star.
Awful. Shit. If these guys represent the best of progressive rock from the 90’s and 00’s, then I’m glad I wasn’t listening. A hazy fever dream of noise and misery. Anthem for addicts. Fuck no.
Nunca había escuchado una wea tan mala y aburrida
Crap
Boring, repetitive and pretentious.
Of course, the last album I listened to I talked about bad Radiohead, and now I am given a Radiohead album to spite me. But here we go. Couldnt finish it.
Some people love Radiohead. I, for the life of me, can't understand how or why. I couldn't make it halfway through. Just awful.
Not my “cup of tea”. . .at all.
All I can think is it's a good thing I was happy and upbeat at the start of this album otherwise I don't know if I would have made it to the end...maybe I don't like Radiohead like I thought I did
I know I have heard some good Radiohead music but I didn't recognize any of these and the vocal were so grating to my ears that I was barely able to make it through once.
Radiohead and Oasis can suck it. Overrated
eerste nummer kon er nog mee door.. daarna was het als een kaartenhuisje in een tropische storm...
God this was fucking boring, I was done right after the second song. So far the worst Radiohead album I’ve listened to on this fucking list. More avant-garde artsy bullshit from this bunch of losers. It amazes me that people eat up this slop and still are somehow left wanting more. Just go listen to any other Radiohead album, they all sound exactly the same. Seriously, I don’t get it. The Bends was the closest thing I’ve listened to so far that was actually listenable. The rest of this discography just sounds like shit narcissists pretend to like so they can feel superior to us “non-believers”. Sit Down, Stand Up was the only song I had any remote interest in. After that it went straight back to normal bullshit whiny whacko nonsense. Fuck Radiohead.

The most overrated band in the history of rock and roll.
# 381 : I really do not like Radiohead. Have the people that rate something 5 stars, actually listened/read/watched what they are rating? It baffles me how people rave about this twaddle.
Meh
I'm one of those people who lost interest in Radiohead after OK Computer. I liked Creep and Fake Plastic Trees and Paranoid Android. After that it all got too noodle-y and too serious for me. The nervous, jazzy drumming and the convoluted chord progressions and Thom Yorke's whinier and whinier vocals and the lack of interesting melodies, it just really really grates on me. This has all of those things in spades. It's a wonder I made it all the way to the end.
Another album that I just don't get. The first 2 tracks remind me of James Brown looking for a word to add "Heaahh". Repeating the same line for half the song.
This band never really did anything that peaked my interest. Their song Creep, which isn't on this album, was great when it was sung by J Church. Other than that, they provide no musical worth to me.
I'm not a great fan of Thom Yorke's voice and I found this album to be rather dirge like and depressing. Not their greatest work.
Bekomme ich noch ein Radiohead-Album vorgeschlagen, raste ich aus
I bought this album on CD when it came out and I've listened to it repeatedly. I find it wholly unmoving. Sonically, it's anxiety inducing. We know Thom can write beautiful melodies. It seems, however, that he's convinced himself that the concepts of melody, and even perhaps beauty, are banal. It comes across as wholly calculated and cynical; and it always leaves me feeling cold and empty.
This is the worst Radiohead album I've ever listened to. I couldn't make it through most of the songs.
Awful
Gott, ich hoffe es hört endlich auf mit dieser Band.
radiohead fuckt mich jetzt richtig ab
Uuurrggg Radiohead at their most dreary
Man, I just don’t like this whiney-vocaled pussy-computerized music. WHY IS THIS SO POPULAR?
Awfully boring.
This would be boring if it was sung by a better singer. With his whiney voice this is just extremely irritating.
How any thinks this is influential is beyond. The band lacks any sense of harmony which is only supported by an awful vocalist. Avoid this album AND this band. I ‘d give it zero if I could
Worst voice ever
Why the fuck are there so many Radiohead albums on this list? This marks 5 that I've reviewed so far. It's honestly like nails on a fucking chalkboard for me. I just really don't get the appeal. Ya wanna know what Thom Yorke is good at? Moaning. Favourite songs: Myxomatosis Least favourite songs: Sail to the Moon, Backdrifts, We Suck Young Blood, The Gloaming, I Will, A Wolf At the Door 1/5
A whiny, whimpering, mish-mash of something I can't even begin to describe. The falsetto parts are the worst. But even without the singing, the music itself is also just some thrown-together notes and stuff. Sometimes they try to do something more sophisticated but fail miserably.
One of the most irritating albums that I've ever heard. I haven't a clue how this album made this list. It's far more strange sounds than anything musical. I would prefer listening to fingernails on a chalkboard.
When your first reaction to seeing the day's recommendation is "Oh fuck off, Radiohead" you might have discovered an overabundance of them in the list. Le sigh. On listening, it sounds exactly,100% like what you would expect a Radiohead album to sound like. Fart noises, moaning and whinging and very little to be happy about.
Scaring the hoes music once again, it's like if Jeff Mangum was bad
This album loves the smell of its own farts.
Moi qui disait hier que The Wall est un peu trop pleurnicheux, j'avais oublié qu'il existait un band de braillards qui sont devenu les maîtres incontestés de la geignardise
I guess I'm not really a Radiohead guy.
Una puñetera basura!
To keep it simple - boring. Just didn't do anything for me. Repetitive
Not a fan of Radiohead and therefore, this album.
I can support a participation trophy for this album. An attempt was made.
Ethereal Rock
I tolerate one Radiohead song and it isn't on this album.
Stodgy homework
It surprises me that a band that took its name from a Talking Heads song, could be so dissimilar, and be so disliked by a huge Talking Heads fan such as me.
One hour of a voice that sounds like a cat meow-ing.
listened but did not like
Not a fan
This would not pass the old grey whistle test. Miserable.
Got 3 tracks in and remembered why I hate Radiohead
It should've stayed on the moon.
Couldn't even listen through the second song. Listened to Bjork instead.
Overproduced and gloomy
Totally NOT my jam. Can't stand his voice, it's like nails on a chalkboard. There was not one song I enjoyed. Yuck!
There are so very few bands I consider as overrated as Radiohead, but I tried to to listen. I really tried. I made it almost halfway through the album. It made me want to throw up. The tones of the music made my feel genuinely ill. And it was obnoxious. Like they are trying way to hard to be different and edgy and cool. And people go along with it because they want to be different and edgy and cool. The Emperor has no clothes. What a rocky start to the album generator.
Nope!
Bei dieser Musik tun mir die Ohren weh!
Nicht mein Geschmack
So bad. Horrendous album and band.
This album sucks. Every song sounds exactly the same...YYYEAAAAHHHHaaAAaaAAaa oOOOoooOOo...hard pass felt like I was in hell listening to this.
Music I would listen to in highschool. Good but just past my time!
Don't get it at all
Boring and pretentious. Anything interesting happening musically is killed by overly repetitive lyrics. Half way through I have an overwhelming desire to punch the singer in the face just so he would shut up. This album is way too long. I might enjoy it after a lobotomy.
Sooooioo so so so so so bad. The guys voice is in sufferable. The musical bits aren’t logical and just absolutely overrated crap
It is a Radiohead album. It isn't particularly good. It is better than other albums. This album seemed better than the other Radiohead albums on this list. No need to revisit.
Not a radiohead fan in general
Idk about this one, maybe I’m not super depressed or maybe it just isn’t good
I made it up to track 12: Myxomatosis. Have you ever seen a rabbit with myxomatosis? I have and it looks exactly like this sounds
Gave a lot of thought about this rating..... I'm not sure how I disliked this more than Metallica.......but here I am.... I couldnt wait for this album to end :c
Not a fan. Makes me feel sad and tired. I do appreciate the production but the vocals feel draining.
1/5 - I do not understand the love for this band. Perhaps I'm missing the point and the genius but I dislike this album. It is impressive how listening to this horribly mixed album sounds bad across all listening devices.
not really my thing by the third song, so giving up
Horrível
Ugh
I've never understood Radiohead. The only emotion this makes me feel is boredom. They have like 3 interesting songs and the rest are all whining moans with boring backing. There is nothing exciting or interesting about this album
Interesting musically, and not that samey, most of the tracks grab my interest until Thom starts whining. It's really hard to discern the lyrics, but not in a Cocteau Twins way, it's just unpleasant to listen to. Not sad and moody, just dreary.
There is such a spare bleakness that runs through all of the Radiohead body of work. It's not pleasant. Adding clicking artefacts isn't impressing me. Gloaming induces a sensation that definitely feels like gloaming. Yucky but effective. Also, I am firmly on the side of the room that finds Thom Yorkes voice not pleasant. I am unable to discern the point of RadioHead. It's is to wallow in alternating streak of pain? Oh the English. A masterpiece of terrible perfection.
