I'd also love to hear stories about how it moved you on your first or 100th time listening to it.

At first, Jigsaw. Then I fell in love with Reckoner. Then 15 Step because it's such a danceable 5/4 bop. Then the reverb of House of Cards. Now I think Nude is my favorite. I slept on All I Need until I heard the 01-10 album with 10 second crossfade because it fits in so fucking well with OK Computer. I used to actually really dislike Videotape until I recognized that the piano strikes are not on the beat, even from the very start; they slightly lag.

Anybody who's a fan of the album and hasn't heard the From The Basement set, I can't recommend it highly enough. The performance of Nude may be even better than on the album. The way that Jonny rakes quiet upstrums in the chorus is strangely heartbreaking. But through the whole performance, they're fucking with a ton of equipment and not just playing guitars in a traditional way like most bands. They're tweaking knobs, using strange gear, and all somehow on the same page with some pretty awesome cues in unusual time signatures. They're not everybody's cup of tea, but it's impossible to see them in their element and claim that they aren't objectively skilled and passionate.

Ya this is me too, I will listen through and think this is the best song, and then each one moves me in a different way. I love Nude as well as all I need. I think my favorite which I haven't seen anyone mention is faust arp, just such an interesting song
