Pablo Honey - 4/10
Look, this is definitely not their best work by any means. It's average rock album with... creep. Look I don't hate Creep I just think it's severely overrated. It's mainly just filled with... eh. Radiohead hadn't found their way yet and for a first album this is fine, It just puts into perspective how great their later work is. The cover art is questionable but fine. Really there's nothing to say about this album.
Favourite Song - You
Least Favourite Song - Creep
The Bends - 9/10
INSANE JUMP IN QUALITY. I love the rock sound of this, it has a bunch of classics such as Planet Telex, High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, My Iron Lung, Black Star, and Street Spirit (Fade Out), all of these are 9-10/10 songs. An instant classic album that inspired bands and had a killer sound. Part of me wishes they kept with this sound, but I do like the newer sound too. I just prefer this sound, at it's core the sound is classic and catchy. While the album art is... questionable, the album is a must listen.
Favourite Song - Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Least Favourite Song - Bones
Ok Computer - 9/10
This is really where Radiohead became established as a band. There are so many hits on this album. Airbag, Paranoid Android, Exit Music, Let Down, Karma Police, No Suprises. These are all great songs, and you can listen to the album front to back and over again. It's a step away from The Bends in the type of sound, it defined the Radiohead sound that they stuck to, moving away from classic to electronic in some aspects. This is a banger album and you should listen to it at least once in your lifetime.
Favourite Song - Karma Police/Exit Music/ No Suprises
Least Favourite Song - Fitter Happier
Kid A - 6/10
I'm going to be honest, I'm not a fan at all of this one. It definitely has the radiohead sound and it has some great songs, but it's not a good experience from front to back. Most of the songs are forgettable and repetitive and have no great meaning attached, it just felt like Thom Yorke was personally going insane. I LOVE The National Anthem, Motion Picture Soundtrack and How to Dissappear Completely but otherwise, it's a skip usually. This is also where Thom began slurring his words more, which I don't like.
Favourite Song - The National Anthem
Least Favourite Song - Kid A
Amnesiac - 7/10
I will put anyone who mentions the order of the ranking numbers in the grave alive. Anyways Amnesiac is a solid B side album. Even though it still feels like a Thom-Yorke-Going-Insane album, it has more banger songs and even though it isn't well known, I like the project. I think it's better instrumentally than Kid A as a whole. I know Amnesiac being higher than Kid A, and Kid A being a 6/10 in general are hot takes, but that's how I feel about this and both albums.
Favourite Song - Dollars and Cents
Least Favourite Song - Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors
Hail to the Thief - 9.5/10
YES! This album is seriously underrated and often forgotten about. There are so many hits on this album, it's a personal favourite of mine. 2+2=5, Sit Down Stand Up, Sail to the Moon, Backdrifts, Where I end and where you begin, The Gloaming, There There, A Punch up at a wedding, Myxamotosis, Scatterbrain, A Wolf at the Door. I've listed most of the album here. I love the cover art, everything about this album, from it's creation to it's art is great. Definitely reccomend a listen, it's long but it has some gems.
Favourite Song - A Wolf At The Door/ A Punch Up At A Wedding
Least Favourite Song - We Suck Young Blood
In Rainbows - 8/10
Another Great Album. The significance of this album is great, you can watch how it was here, but there are also some really good catchy and classic songs here. Bodysnatchers, Nude, Weird Fishes, All I Need, Jigsaw Falling Into Place. The 2nd Disc isn't that known but it also has some great songs like Last Flowers, Down is the new up and Go Slowly. I personally think some of the songs could be better, and I would like if the album was longer, but apart from that, solid album.
Favourite Song - Weird Fishes
Least Favourite Song - Bangers + Mash
In Rainbows - 3.5/10
As you can tell I really don't like this one. Not to discredit it, it works very well in the live versions (from the basement), but it just doesn't work in the studio. I really just don't like every aspect of this album, from the album and name to the songs, it just feels like radiohead completely lost their way here for me. This is definitely my least favourite album.
Favourite Song - Weird Fishes
Least Favourite Song - Bangers + Mash
A Moon Shaped Pool - 7/10
After so many years they came back with... a pretty good album! I think it has some pretty good songs and the meaning behind some is great, I just think it doesn't feel that much like radioheads past work, but it's not bad at all. I also LOVE the album cover. There's not much to say other than it's a pretty good album.
