I'm liking this band-Radiohead

Somehow, personally, i think that this is a band who emphasis on creativity, no boundary, and sometimes too "over"..

They are too creative, at least too creative for a newbie in music like me.. Playing with all modulation of keys and chords, from rock to jazz to electronics, multiple beats, sound, effects.. Creative!

But i hardly understand the lyrics, too bad.

@ their 3rd album "ok computer", they started to use a lot of pre amp effects and makes the overall sound very "euphoric".

@ their 4th album "kid A" and 5th "Amnesiac", they use ondes martenot and lots of electronics effects, irregular beat (geng!)..

@ their 7th album "in rainbow", hmm.... don't know what to say already lar..

Anyway, they become famous because the main vocal-thom yorke's voice, and his impressive lyrics (although i dun really understand it. And the band's "creative"ness in music arranging, plus the 6th member, Sound Engineer-Nigel Godrich. Those effects... one day i'll test it on audiophile equiptments!!

They may sound a bit "depressing" for some one.. Listen and see.

Try search in youtube: Pyramid song, Paranoid Android, Subterranean Homesick Alien, 15 step, etc... I m too lazy to post.
