Your feelings on post-OK Computer Radiohead?

I bought Kid A on its release date, and that was pretty much the end for me with Radiohead. I adored the rock Radiohead, and their stuff from Kid A on was just too experimental and riddled with noodling for my liking.
Recently, I’ve started to come around a bit, especially with The Smile. I bought their last album and really liked almost all of it. I’m listening to tracks from Wall of Eyes now, and I’m just captivated by “Bending Hectic”. Just beautiful to these ears.

Kid A and Amnesiac were brilliant albums, although occasionally they veered too far towards sounding experimental and buried otherwise excellent songs beneath layers of inaccessibility ("Like Spinning Plates," I'm looking at you here). But overall those two albums contain some of their best work:
"Kid A"
"Idioteque"
"Optimistic"
"Dollars and Cents"
"You and Whose Army"
"Pyramid Song"
"Knives Out"
"How to Disappear Completely"
...and so on.

i like in rainbows but it also happens to be the tour that i saw them on in high school. Was pretty indifferent to Radiohead before that.

They're never going to top OK Computer, but there are a lot of gems in the albums they've released since then - and The Smile albums and Thom Yorke's solo records.
Outside of Lotus Flower, King of Limbs did nothing for me. But I really liked Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows a lot. And I've listened to the new Smile record quite a bit.
The general theory is that Radiohead have basically broken up. I mean, it ain't like Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood are making bluegrass records together. Those are both Radiohead albums for all practical purposes.

I think Kid A and In Rainbows are both classics.

I think that I would probably really enjoy both if I revisited them now.

Hail to the Thief and King of Limbs had a few good songs here and there. Kid A, In Rainbows, and A Moon Shaped Pool are great albums. The Smile's new album is indeed good; if you are liking that one i would go back and revisit In Rainbows because they have a similar style.

I loved early Radiohead and thought The Bends was better than OK Computer. Lost touch with them after Kid A and now think In Rainbows is their best record.

1. The Smile is not Radiohead. Yes it’s Yorke and Johnny Greenwood but it isn’t the same. Ed O’Brien doesn’t get enough credit for his work with Radiohead
2. Love their work post OK computer but it took a few years for me to come around. Kid A was so different and unique it took time for me to give it a fair shake.
I’m also of the opinion that Amnesiac is a more enjoyable album than Kid A. And Hail to the Thief (though a couple of songs could have been cut from the final album) is an underrated gem.
Really like King of Limbs especially the live from the basement version.
Moon shaped pool has some great songs but overall thought it to be maybe their weakest album since Pablo Honey.

Fair point. But there is an alternate version of Like Spinning Plates in the extended cut of the album. It may be a live recording, can’t remember but it is a beautiful song. So much better than the version you are referencing

Yes, that's my point. The album version is incredibly overprocessed to the point that it is barely recognizable. The live version that you mention reveals that the song, when stripped bare of all of the effects and intentional weirdness, is actually one of the best, most beautiful things they've ever written.

Kid A, and In Rainbows are up there with Ok Computer for me.
Hail to the Thief, KoL, and Moon Shaped Pool are all really good, but not on the level the three above are. Amnesiac is basically Kid A b-sides, but its solid too.
Daily Mail is one of my favorite Radiohead songs, and its not even on an album.

I love OK Computer. It's probably my favorite album of theirs. They've gone in many directions since then, some that I've liked, some that I haven't.
Kid A - Love
Amnesiac - Meh
Hail to the Thief - Boring
In Rainbows - Very good!
The King of Limbs - Boring. Such a disappointing follow-up to In Rainbows.
A Moon Shaped Pool - Ok. I love Burn the Witch but the rest of the album is a chore
Kid A - Love
Amnesiac - Meh
Hail to the Thief - Boring
In Rainbows - Very good!
The King of Limbs - Boring. Such a disappointing follow-up to In Rainbows.
A Moon Shaped Pool - Ok. I love Burn the Witch but the rest of the album is a chore

I loved Kid A when it came out. Amnesiac was decent but forgettable. I never really followed them past that.
