Not that Aphex Twin and Kanye don't revel in plenty of anxious the near, but RDJ's done so much in so many different styles and formats that if the panicky glitch shit isn't working for you, you can throw on some of his ambient material, or his more emotionless cascading labyrinthine jams, a la Syro, and Kanye always makes room for sex references and jokes a plenty to deflate the musical tension a bit.
Radiohead, despite all their purported genius, doesn't seem to actually know how to not be devastatingly grim, all the fucking time. It's exhausting.
