Of the Smiths’ style of pop, Radiohead soon demonstrated more serious ambitionsĪnd came up with records that renewed the paradigm of melodic rock. The most overrated act of the 1990s and 2000s. Radiohead were one of the most talked about bands, arguably (Translated from my original Italian text by DommeDamian Their limit was that they were more form than content, more "hype" than message, more nothing than everything. Radiohead became masters of the artificial, masters of minimizing the emotional content of very complex structures.Īmnesiac (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. Radiohead moved as close to electronica as possible without actually endorsing it. All sounds were processed and mixed, including the vocals. The sound of Kid A (2000) had decomposed and absorbed countless new perfumes, like a carcass in the woods. Since thee production aspects of music were beginning to prevail over the music itself, it was just about natural to make them "the" 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.ĭespite 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). The album was a masterpiece of faux avantgarde (of pretending to be avantgarde while playing mellow pop music). Then OK Computer (1997) happened and the word "chic" took on a new meaning. 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.
