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 opening lines of Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place" are simple and repetitive, but they immediately set the tone for the entire song. The repeated phrase "kid A" is a reference to the band's album of the same name, and it serves to ground the song in a specific musical context. From there, the lyrics become even more repetitive, with the word "everything" repeated over and over again.
Despite the repetition, the lyrics suggest a sense of order and completeness. The phrase "in its right place" is repeated four times, reinforcing the idea that everything is exactly where it should be. This sense of order is perhaps intended to provide a sort of counterbalance to the chaos and uncertainty that pervade the rest of the song.
The lyrics take a darker turn in the second half of the song, with the repeated phrase "yesterday I woke up sucking on a lemon." This line suggests a feeling of bitterness or dissatisfaction, and it stands in stark contrast to the earlier emphasis on everything being in its right place. The final lines of the song return to the repetition of "everything," but the repeated phrase "tried to say" introduces a note of ambiguity and uncertainty.

That’s honestly one of the best ways to drop a tagline. It doesn’t come off as pompous like when a title gets dropped, it’s a genuine piece of the story that livens it up.
I also can’t get over the S1 ending unintentionally being the best political ad made to watch.
