The opener, 15 Step. I mean, it doesn't live up to Creep, but nothing ever will.

I think it's really impossible to pick just one, but gun to my head, I'd pick Weird Fishes. It's got strong energy, but it's still introspective and emotional, great backing vocals, great Thom vocals, and as a bassist I love a lot of the bass work in that song.
One of my favourite pieces of music, a treat for the ears and soul. Love the arrangement of the arppegiated guitars and rhodes piano, and ya when the bass kicks into the second half it rules.
Jigsaw Falling Into Place.
Great use of dynamics on the vocal going from quiet and restrained to Thom's higher register in the second verse.
The drums have a sort of understated franticism about them.
The bridge section where the title appears in the lyrics is beautiful and bittersweet sounding.
It's a pretty interestingly-structured song, like it's designed to be as emotionally impactful as possible.
Love the lyrics too, has that whole racing feeling throughout
The entire album is incredible, but I would say Videotape. Simply awesome. The syncopation is great even if I haven't looked into it much. I honestly thought the repetiotnnof "in videotape" was weird but now its really grown on me. The entire album has really grown on me, my first listen I thought it was good but nothing special. Now its one of my favorite albums of all time. Kid A is still the best Radiohead album, though.
I will get back to you in 42min. and 38sec.
After listening to the album it was underwhelming. It was good and sometimes great. I can't call it a "masterpiece"
My favourite was "15 step". It had nice and interesting percussion.
All I need in 1:40 was a highlight and ending of Videotape had also nice rhythm.
I definitely listened to better albums.
Can I pick something off Disk 2? It's Bangers + Mash.
The lyrics, Thom's crazed singing, the way the instruments drop out and back in throughout the verses, the stumbling overlapped drum patterns, the opposing guitars, 1 repetitive and monotonous and the other with a frantic riff....
If we're talking on the album, it's Jigsaw Falling into Place. Bodysnatchers, 15 Step, Weird Fishes, and House of Cards are all very close though.
My favorites:
- Jigsaw Falling into Place
- Reckoner
- Bodysnatchers
- 4 Minute Warning
Never heard the album before, so I skimmed it.
Bodysnatcher has a really cool riff that I'm trying to instrumentally wrap my head around.
I think the whole album is great from start to finish.
When it cuts out and it's just the rhodes is so good.
For me it's either Weird Fishes or Jigsaw Falling into Place. They are both so nice to get lost in the rhythm.
