Let Down made it onto the Billboard Hot 100, Radiohead's first charting single in the US since 2008

Ew. Fuck this song. Sentimental nonsense. What a shit band.

It's the best track from the album.

People don't care about new music anymore, they just rather skim through the backlog

Zoomers have a great taste

>>127529851
This but unironically.

That's what you get
When you defend Israel

>>127529918
With Jews you... win?

Surprising. I used to stan that song back in the day when i was a teenager and no cared but ultimately this anon>>127529780 is correct and I dont really care to listen to it anymore. I only really like the tourist and lucky on ok computer anymore

>>127529780
What a gay post holy fuck

I bought a new looper and I have been trying to learn the 2 guitar parts so I can play them at the same time

So I've listened to this song over 100x this week

Weird coincidence to see this thread

Thanks for reading my blog guys and check out Radioheads newest album

Objectively the greatest songs on the album. Very underrated though.

I'm surprised it isn't Exit Music, Karma Police, or Paranoid Android that made it up there, considering they're the most popular songs afaik

what made it blow up?
it's all covers and stan-edits using this song on tiktok

great song but fucking cringe

That's weird, there are much better songs on OK Computer than Let Down

Let down is easy to binge if youre really into it and put it on repeat which is what I used to do. Before I reset me scrobbles I had scrobbled let down over 500 times in under a year lol

>>127530908
Its babies first deep cut

>>127530554
Look, faggot. If you like Thommy boy hitting a soaring chorus about becoming an emo butterfly, you're gay.

It was used in a couple streaming shows like how Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush got a resurgence, but the odd thing is both of the episodes with Let Down in them aired three years ago. I have no idea what the fuck specifically could have gotten it to trend this year, all the Tiktoks being featured in articles about it charting are either choir covers, stanfaggots miming the song or posting scenic shots vibing to it, memes about the song trending or asking why it's trending, or clips set to movies or sports footage. I saw it rise up on the Bubbling Under chart over the past month or two and kept expecting it to stall out at some point but now it's here.

Which millenial soundtrack will zoomer influencers steal and ruin next do you think?

>>127531186
They'll go gen X and steal the Violent Femmes self titled album

>>127531149
These were the shows it was in

Karma Police was always my favorite but these days I find Subterranean Homesick Alien to be the best track with its poignant atmosphere

>>127531149
>>127531294
yep i heard it in The Bear season 1 finale the other day, such a well placed song

you would expect it to trend that same month or year though

The funny thing is it was considered to be released as a full-fledged single and had a completed music video, but the band rejected the video and the song only got a promo single in the US. The whole album was actually planned to get videos, but aside from the singles and Let Down the only other songs that got videos were Lucky back when it was originally put out as a charity single for War Child, and Fitter Happier of all things which was also never officially released. People thought the Let Down video was only available through a short clip with a weird static effect cutting it off on the director's website for years, until someone discovered in 2016 that the entire unedited thing was just sitting there in the site's code.

Hopefully its another band like duster that deserves more recognition

>>127531556
I recall a video for Let Down where the band is playing in a ballroom or something.

>>127531581
That might be this clip from a gig in NYC, I don't know if that was ever put out as a video

crushed like A LE BUG IN THE GROUND

>>127531343
For me it's Airbag
I also think electioneering is underrated

>>127531343
The first half of the album heavily outweighs the second

>>127531638
No sorry, I meant like an empty ballroom. Not a live gig, a 'proper' music video. Might've been shot in that place where they recorded the album, Jane Seymour's mansion? Or am I getting my 'head clips mixed up, could they have put Let Down over another already existing vid?

>>127529751 (OP)
let down palestine

>>127530897
It was always a single-ready song
Hell it was going to be released as a single with a video being made and they got cold feet last minute like with Lift

>>127529751 (OP)
I think a sped up version of this could be a hit I kinda like it more at 1.3x.

>>127529780
it always ends up drivel

>>127529751 (OP)
That poor retard that keeps saying Radiohead are no longer relevant is probably in shambles right now

>>127530804
>I'm surprised it isn't Exit Music, Karma Police, or Paranoid Android that made it up there, considering they're the most popular songs afaik
No Surprises is #1 by far:

No Surprises 1.06b
Karma Police 734m
Let Down 379m
Exit Music (For A Film) 360m
Paranoid Android 273m
Subterranean Homesick Alien 94m
Airbag 88m
Lucky 81m
Climbing Up the Walls 65m
The Tourist 52m
Man of War 50m
Electioneering 50m
Fitter Happier 35m

anyway Let Down is one of these radio-friendly songs that was somehow not released as a single, so no surprises there (sorry)

>>127529786
It's their best track period, besides perhaps Lift

>>127529851
>>127529879
