Radiohead signed to EMI in 1991 and released their debut album, Pablo Honey, in 1993; their debut single, "Creep", became a worldwide hit. Radiohead's popularity and critical standing rose with the release of The Bends in 1995. Radiohead's third album, OK Computer (1997), brought them international fame; noted for its complex production and themes of modern alienation, it is acclaimed as a landmark record and one of the best albums in popular music.
Radiohead's fourth album, Kid A (2000), marked a dramatic change in style, incorporating influences from electronic music, jazz, classical music and krautrock. Though Kid A divided listeners, it later attracted wide acclaim. It was followed by Amnesiac (2001), recorded in the same sessions. Hail to the Thief (2003), with lyrics addressing the War on Terror, was Radiohead's final album for EMI.
Radiohead self-released their seventh album, In Rainbows (2007), as a download for which customers could set their own price, to critical and chart success. Their eighth album, The King of Limbs (2011), an exploration of rhythm, was developed using extensive looping and sampling. A Moon Shaped Pool (2016) prominently featured Jonny Greenwood's orchestral arrangements. Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Selway, and O'Brien have released solo albums; in 2021, Yorke and Jonny Greenwood debuted a new band, the Smile.
By 2011, Radiohead had sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. Their awards include six Grammy Awards and four Ivor Novello Awards, and they hold five Mercury Prize nominations, the most of any act. Seven Radiohead singles have reached the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart: "Creep" (1992), "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" (1996), "Paranoid Android" (1997), "Karma Police" (1997), "No Surprises" (1998), "Pyramid Song" (2001), and "There There" (2003). "Creep" and "Nude" (2008) reached the top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Rolling Stone named Radiohead one of the 100 greatest artists of all time, and Rolling Stone readers voted them the second-best artist of the 2000s. Five Radiohead albums have been included in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time lists. Radiohead were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.

The lyrics to "Everything in Its Right Place" can be quite perplexing at first glance, as they are often repetitive and nonsensical. However, upon closer examination, the repetition and ambiguity start to reveal deeper meaning. The song seems to explore themes of alienation and confusion, particularly in regards to our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. The opening lines, "Kid A, Kid A," are a reference to the album's title and suggest a sense of disorientation and uncertainty. Similarly, the repeated refrain of "Everything in its right place" can be interpreted as a futile attempt to find order and stability in a chaotic world.
The second verse, where Thom Yorke sings about waking up sucking on a lemon, can be interpreted in a number of ways. Some have suggested that it is a metaphor for the bitter taste of reality, while others have commented on the song's dreamlike quality and have interpreted the lyric as a symbol of the strange and disorienting nature of dreams. The repeated lines "There are two colors in my head / What, what is that you tried to say?" hint at a fractured sense of self or possibly a split personality.
Overall, "Everything in Its Right Place" is an enigmatic song that invites multiple interpretations. It seems to explore themes of alienation and confusion, particularly in regards to our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. The repetition and ambiguity of the lyrics create a sense of disorientation that is both unsettling and ultimately mesmerizing.

made an alternate reality album, kinda fucking hype actually. Yall probably already know, but if you dont, radiohead recorded Kid A and Amnesiac kind of alongside eachother, but they released them seperately man. didn't really think they could make them work as a double album. I was like, nah, tried mixing the albums together, and honestly, this alternate reality double album, it fucking slaps man. think its really good actually. Puts some shit in perspective for me. Some songs hit hard as fuck in this version actually. If you're into this era of radiohead, definitely worth checking out. So cool.

I used to find Radiohead so boring, but I'm slowly starting to understand them. This is too good
@Termini33
What is there to understand about this song? The lyrics seem just so random to me.
@Nirvanablue89
Well most of their stuff up until Kid A is really boring in comparison by that standard. You could say they almost became another band entirely. They started off as more of a Rock band but graduated into what they are today, which is far more intricate and suitable for them. Still, being at a Radiohead concert as a sober individual, I found it to be quite boring on more than one occasion.

White Knight OK Computer and the Bends were both pretty interesting. It was rock sounding but not rock sounding at the same time. Pablo Honey basically sounded like a stereo typically angsty grunge album and was pretty bad. I like their later more electronic albums too, but it seems like some of the songs could be cut by a couple minutes and sometimes the tracks just seem to wander. They really are kind of boring live, but Radiohead music just doesn't sound like the kind of music that would sound good live anyways, as compared to standard rock music like Foo Fighters or QOTSA.
