S11E1 - Radiohead: In Rainbows

This podcast episode, "Dissect," focuses on Radiohead's album "In Rainbows" and the band's history leading up to its release. It begins by highlighting the innovative pay-what-you-want strategy for the album and its impact on the music industry. The episode then delves into Radiohead's origins as "On A Friday," their initial struggles with the single "Creep," and their subsequent artistic growth with albums like "The Bends" and "OK Computer." The narrative continues through the band's experimental phase with "Kid A" and "Amnesiac," and the more political "Hail to the Thief," culminating in the circumstances surrounding their hiatus and eventual reunion to create "In Rainbows." The host sets the stage for a detailed, song-by-song analysis of the album in future episodes.
