The main reason it is considered a landmark album is because its Radiohead, and up until that album, Radiohead had been progessively a electric guitar band. So they went the complete oppisite side of the spectrum for themsevles by making a low-key, quieter album. It certianly has its influnces from other bands that have come before them, so they weren't exactly using methods in recording that have never been done, but in terms of surprising thier fans, it was a big change for them, and it was risky, it was a big change in musical direction and it definately polorized thier fans when it first came out.
