>Radiohead, the most hyped and probably the most over-rated band of the 1990s, upped the ante for studio trickery. They had begun as third-rate disciples of the Smiths, with albums such as Pablo Honey (1993) and The Bends (1995) that were cauldrons of Brit-pop cliches. Then OK Computer (1997) happened and the word "chic" took on a new meaning. The album was a masterpiece of faux avantgarde (of pretending to be avantgarde while playing mellow pop music). It was, more properly, a new link in the chain of production artifices that changed the way pop music "sounds": the Beatles' Sgt Pepper, Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, Michael Jackson's Thriller. Despite the massive doses of magniloquent epos a` la U2 and of facile pathos a` la David Bowie, the album's mannerism led to the same excesses that detracted from late Pink Floyd's albums (lush textures, languid melodies, drowsy chanting). Since thee production aspects of music were beginning to prevail over the music itself, it was just about natural to make them "the" music. The sound of Kid A (2000) had decomposed and absorbed countless new perfumes, like a carcass in the woods. All sounds were processed and mixed, including the vocals. Radiohead moved as close to electronica as possible without actually endorsing it. Radiohead became masters of the artificial, masters of minimizing the emotional content of very complex structures. Amnesiac (2001) replaced "music" with a barrage of semi-mechanical loops, warped instruments and digital noises, while bending Thom Yorke's baritone to a subhuman register and stranding it in the midst of hostile arrangements, sounding more and more like an alienated psychopath. Their limit was that they were more form than content, more "hype" than message, more nothing than everything.

>>127943094Now tell me what you think about Limp Bizkit, Piero.

>>127945874A lifetime of carrying water on their backs for the jews
>>127943094wtf i love Scaruffi now.just kidding, music critique is creative writing. you take one part of the truth and push it to the extreme, someone out there will feel vindicated and think you're a scholar.
>>127943109Look good
>>127947603His prose is very funny, I read it just for entertainment sometimes. I love Scaruffi.
I've had just about enough of the trust fund poster
>>127943071Massive.
is Jonny Greenwood the reason Radiohead is any good at all? I listen to a track like Baby Charlene and its better than anything Radiohead has put out for the past 20 years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjdcCBDuPTI
>>127943071They were upper middle class. No trust funds but comfortable to dick around at making music for a few years after university and probably would have fallen back into good jobs if Creep hadn’t taken off.
very very small
>>127943071>>127943094>the Jews are out ruining everything they get involved with and don't want us to have a culture without them>Maybe their music was written by a fat old freemason composer or procured vy a fat old freemason blackmail artist>This means that Radioheads music is objectively badNo.
>>127943071free palestine
>>127943071Resist digital ID
>>127943130Limp Bizkit are indeed better than Gaydiohead, faggot
>>127943947>British boarding school>"Posh"Thom regularly got in fist fights with kids. Your American is showing.
>>127956147The Raped
>>127956147Radiohead is one of my favourite bands but going to a fee paying school is posh. Regardless of what happens there. Thom probably got into fights because they were taking the piss out of the way his eye looked.
>>127952306so dull
>>127950428none of the 3 (?) critics you guys post ever say anything of substance about the music
They're unlikable but make beautiful interesting music. Let Done is amazing, among others.
>>127959374*Let DownBut Let Done woulda been cooler
>>127943071As big as the menu in Baskin Roberts
OK Computer [Capitol, 1997]My favorite Pink Floyd album has always been Wish You Were Here, and you know why? It has soul, that's why--it's Roger Waters's lament for Syd, not my idea of a tragic hero but as long as he's Roger's that doesn't matter. Radiohead wouldn't know a tragic hero if they were cramming for their A levels, and their idea of soul is Bono, who they imitate further at the risk of looking even more ridiculous than they already do. So instead they pickle Thom Yorke's vocals in enough electronic marginal distinction to feed a coal town for a month. Their art-rock has much better sound effects than the Floyd snoozefest Dark Side of the Moon. But it's less sweeping and just as arid. B-
>>127943947you hate them because they're posh, I hate them because they were satisfied being a whore for music magazine culture
>>127964866>a whore for music magazine culturenta but what's that supposed to mean? I genuinely have no idea. Because they did interviews?
>>127956147You melt. Boarding schools are posh. There's no way around that. I'm not posh but I don't mind posh people being in bands (Radiohead, PF), as long as they don't larp as working class like Blur.
