While averting mainstream trends but still achieving a significant level of success in both US and UK charts, Radiohead's music includes many surprises and subverted expectations, yet remains accessible within a framework of music traditions. In \u003cem\u003eEverything in its Right Place: Analyzing Radiohead\u003c\/em\u003e, Brad Osborn reveals the functioning of this reconciliation of extremes in various aspects of Radiohead's music, analyzing the unexpected shifts in song structure, the deformation of standard 4\/4 backbeats, the digital manipulation of familiar rock 'n' roll instrumentation, and the expected resolutions of traditional cadence structures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExpanding on recent work in musical perception, focusing particularly on form, rhythm and meter, timbre, and harmony, \u003cem\u003eEverything in its Right Place\u003c\/em\u003e treats Radiohead's recordings as rich sonic ecosystems in which a listener participates in an individual search for meaning, bringing along expectations learned from popular music, classical music, or even Radiohead's own compositional idiolect. Radiohead's violations of these subjective expectation-realization chains prompt the listener to search more deeply for meaning within corresponding lyrics, biographical details of the band, or intertextual relationships with music, literature, or film. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSynthesizing insights from a range of new methodologies in the theory of pop and rock, and specifically designed for integration into music theory courses for upper level undergraduates, \u003cem\u003eEverything in its Right Place \u003c\/em\u003eis sure to find wide readership among scholars and students, as well as avid listeners who seek a deeper understanding of Radiohead's distinctive juxtapositional style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrad Osborn is Assistant Professor of Music Theory at the University of Kansas.
