Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Radiohead's third album got compared to Pink Floyd a lot when it came out, and its slow drama and conceptual sweep certainly put it in that category. OK Computer, though, is a complicated and difficult record: an album about the way machines dehumanize people that's almost entirely un-electronic; an album by a British "new wave of new wave" band that rejects speed and hooks in favor of languorous texture and morose details; a sad and humanist record whose central moment is Thom Yorke crooning "We hope that you choke." Sluggish, understated, and hard to get a grip on, OK Computer takes a few listens to appreciate, but its entirety means more than any one song. --Douglas Wolk




Rating: - Music Still Lives
I had not listened to this record in awhile and forgot how much I love this CD, it truly stand up after all this time and the accolades it has received is well worth it.

Radiohead are special - thoughtful songwriters who play well and create an atmosphere with the best of the bands such as Pink Floyd. They accomplish it here from the first track on. The first six tracks rank up there with any six tracks back to back in concept, though I would probably put some Beatles and Pink Floyd ... Read More

Rating: - One of, if not the, best albums of all time
I looked at OK Computer for quite a long time before I finally bought it. Thank God that I did. This album is incredible. Every song would stand up well by itself and the album flows so well. When I heard it i was impressed but it didn't blow me away; as I kept listening to it I couldn't stop. Its is just a great group of songs right up there with Abbey Road, Dark Side of the Moon, Zeppelin IV, Moondance, Are You Experienced?, Blow by Blow, and any other "classic" album you can think of. Definetly ... Read More

Rating: - I want to like it...but...
I loved, LOVED!, "Bends". I played it so much in the late 90's, my friends got sick of it and told me to stop playing it. I fell out of society for a while, and here I am catching up, 10-12 years later (long story). So, I figured I'd catch up with Radiohead. I'm listening to "OK,Computer" as I write this, and, honestly, wtf? It's gotten such great reviews. What am I missing? Sorry, but it seems like a mediocre album to me, one or two good songs (I really like "Karma Police"), but nothing like "Bends" ... Read More

Rating: - It changed the way a lot of people my age approached popular music - I'd say that's a pretty solid legacy
What can anyone say about OK Computer ten years after the fact that hasn't been said a thousand times already? Probably nothing, but heck - that's never stopped me before.

Discovering OK Computer back in 1998 was like waking up one morning to find a Triceratops lumbering around in your garden, munching lazily on your begonias and knocking shrubs over as if nothing was out of the ordinary: "Uh, mom?...Yeah, there's a dinosaur in the backyard...I know ma, I thought they were extinct too."

Rating: - Perhaps Too Out There
Don't let the 3 star rating fool you. I love Radiohead. In fact, I think a few songs on here are among my favorite of their whole discography.

However, I can't quite say the same over the majority of the album.

To me as more of a listener, I don't try exploring all the little nooks and crannies of albums a lot of times and, perhaps and probably, as a result, I really couldn't and still can't see the massive appeal this album brings. Is it junk? Hardly.

But I don't believe ... Read More
