What is the worst Radiohead album?
I think many fans would be tempted to say Radiohead’s “worst” was their debut, Pablo Honey. It was fairly generic and bland alternative rock. Not bad, just unoriginal in comparison to the monumental leaps they would take with consecutive releases. Although it was the album that brought us “Creep” and introduced the world to this promising new act. The group had yet to fully prove themselves and surely any band would love to know that their greatest efforts followed their initial release. So in that sense, I think Pablo Honey kind of gets a pass.
So, what is the worst Radiohead album? Well The Bends was an improvement on all fronts, bringing some of their most memorable moments. OK Computer and Kid A are widely considered some of the greatest alt-rock records of all time. Amnesiac felt like Kid A leftovers but still stood on it’s own two feet as a notable project. The political Hail to the Thief likely carries their most mixed bag of tracks -- but in it’s bloated runtime lies some considerably strong tunes. They would remedy the previous lack of focus with the exceptionally colourful and confident, In Rainbows. But then we got The King of Limbs -- The Worst Radiohead Album.
