With this on, “Body Snatchers”‘ transition into “Subterranean Homesick Alien” seems a bit too perfect to be coincidence. This might prompt you to turn on the crossfade option on iTunes. Airbag is the exact same tempo as 15 Step. Now this seems weird until you start listening to it. Then two songs on OK Computer “Karma Police/Fitter Happier” separate them from another set of 10 songs. In binary code, “01” and “10” compliment each other, so what if I did this: The news of In Rainbows being an album was somehow kept a secret, and announced only 10 days before it’s release. The last message was a photo of the band, posted on March 10th. Ten years apart.īefore the release of In Rainbows the band left ten mysterious messages, which featured the character “X” which is the Roman numeral for 10. OK Computer was released in 1997, and In Rainbows in 2007. The cover for In Rainbows looks like this: The two titles of both albums have the same cadence: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. The working title for OK Computer was “Ones and Zeros” a binary reference. Or if not, then maybe the band just conceptualized In Rainbows to fit OK Computer to be cohesive in a pretty specific way. It would appear that for Radiohead in the case of OK Computer and In Rainbows, the answer might just be “everything.” Why? It’s possible they were recorded at the same time, and intended to be played together as one cohesive two disc album. What does a band’s album have in common with another one it releases a decade later? Normally the answer is not a whole lot.
A little something to hold you Radiohead fans over until The King of Limbs…
