For many, child to It changed the game. It was the turn of the millennium and Radiohead had released some of the best alternative rock of the '90s. But with their first release of the 2000s, the band took a sharp left turn. Arévalo was not immune to his awesome power and fell in love with the innovative songs along with everyone else. “I think when a record like this comes out, it takes people a little while to catch up,” he says. “Sometimes it's so futuristic it's too much.” But for Arévalo, it opened up a whole new way of looking at music.
