Sure it’s not been that long since they have released an album. This is a hard time for my taste in Radiohead music, so I thought I should shed light in one of the greatest influences in rock since the "rise and fall" of Grunge, Alternative rock
PABLO HONEY:
On the band’s debut what we see here is a classic view of a world full of hate, cynicism, and heroin. We can hear nirvana's in every band emerging from the late 80's you can see it in grunge, early Alternative and even Britpop. The song Creep, although most fans absolutely hate this song because Thom used to hate it, was the anthem of a socially awkward reality that was the early 90's.
The expressions of the self destruction in society that once was (and could be again) which ruled the world full of 'regular days', 'empty life', and 'hopeless existences' and in short the world was in a similar state to the 1920's. Pleasure was the number one priority in everybody’s mind and everyone wanted to live the American dream of getting rich and living large whether they were from the USA or elsewhere. The world was an awful place in the 90's. The world just emerged from the cold war after 45 years of pointless mini wars. In the early 1990’s there was a rise of terrorism and wars in the gulf, Radiohead’s feeling of the early 1990’s is expressed in the bands lyrics stating not being good enough and grunge style “fuzz rock”. In the early days back when they were called On a Friday, because they had band practice on Fridays after school, Thom Yorke wrote what would be the song creep. When they released the debut on February of 1992, before Kurt Cobain died, people related Radiohead with Nirvana and even went so far as to call them “British Nirvana” and many started thinking that they were going to stay in grunge forever and boy were they wrong. Songs like “Anyone can play guitar” pictures an epic image of Thom at a beach while the Great Ben burns to the ground as the apocalypse begins. Another song “Stop Whispering” was written when the band was still On a Friday was one of the bands oldest hits, and it was a pixies tribute, and an instant classic. Then there’s “Blow Out” a great song makes you feel like you’re at the beach, a song that is really underrated and is a beautiful classic that never made it as a single but is worthy.
