Tough one. I enjoyed this album in it's entirety when it came out, but now it feels a little disjointed. I still love it, but to me not as good album as The Bends.
Lo he escuchado dos veces, cosa que hago muy pocas veces en esta lista, antes de darle una nota. Me gusta mucho, pero le falta ese toque de amor total para darle las 5 estrellas. Le falta algo para que me llegue a enamorar. Disfruto oyéndolo, pero no me da lo mismo que al parecer le da al resto de gente en Internet. 4 alto.
- favs: paranoid android, exit music and karma police This album probably altered my 13 year olds brain chemistry. I was very amazed when I first listened to this and I still am! Very big fan of Radiohead’s music and you can not deny their huge impact on music industry! OVERALL: 4/5
~2nd time listening standout tracks: - paranoid android - karma police - electioneering what if i told you the rest of the tracks are kinda eh? airbag and no surprises stood out. Nothing deserving of a skip except maybe the healthier happier kind of interlude track?
no cause it's a 4.5, the only reason it's at 4 is because I preferred Kid A
3.5, drags on a bit at times but overall nice
Very sad and depressing album, which is ok because they pull it off so well. Tackles so many themes on the impact of technology over humans. Some fantastic tracks, but not as good as their masterpiece, In Rainbows
Great Album
I remember liking this album more. I still liked it but it wasn't the 5 I remember it bring.
It sounded like one long radio head song
A classic, but some weird ones
Very nice.
OK starting w a bangerrrr Nice om reden te hebben om meindelijk helemaal te luisteren Exit, karma police, electioneering, climbing up the walls, en nu suprices chefs kisss Zou 5 sterren kunnen zijn maar hitte op de listen nog niet dat extra lvl
Yeah it's OK Computer. Not listened to this all the way through in years. It's clearly great but doesn't impact on me the way it does some people. Never been a Radiohead-head, but these days being a Radiohead-hater is far far more annoying.
I appreciate how good this is, and how accomplished. However, it’s Radiohead so it’s depressing. It didn’t help that I listened to it while driving in a heavy fog/rain, at night, as the seasons are turning into a very damp autumn, but holy Jebus the melancholy is thick. I’ll give it another listen (probably many more), but the way it made me feel makes me reluctant to give it 5 stars.
I think this is one that I need more listens to form a full opinion, but initial thoughts are solid
First one I've heard before! What a masterpiece. That being said, it maybe didn't hit as hard as it did when I was a teenager! My taste has gotten less angst in lyrics and more angst in sound so the chill vibes left.me wanting more!
This is a solid album that’s a good bridge between alt rock Radiohead of the bends/pablo honey and the deep beep boop stuff. I can’t seem to get into Radiohead as a whole and I realized as I was listening to this album that it’s because of Thom Yorkes voice and singing style. I hate it. The moany, pitch-changing, falsetto wailing is insufferable. I can’t even tell what he’s saying bc he draws out every other word for 10 seconds.
Everytime i listen to radiohead i say “man, i should really listen to more radiohead” then i don’t.
Solid. I enjoyed it. Unique sound, some very memorable riffs.
Very good album and considered by some to be the greatest album of all time. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I do wish I had been paying attention to music when this came out so that I could have seen the effect that it had on rock music.
Probably my favorite Radiohead album at this time. Sounds fantastic and dripping with emotion.
This is a groundbreaking album that was ahead of its time, and a significant shift in the band's direction from their previous work. It may require multiple listens to fully appreciate. I highly recommend giving it a chance and listening to it more than once to fully absorb it before you completely write it off.
Fan of the experimental music and can hear how this has influenced other popular bands.
It was a good album overall but not necessarily my vibe.
Revolutionary
Vaikea sanoa kumpi on parempi, tämä vai In Rainbows. Kuuntelin IR uudestaan ennen tätä ja kumpikaan ei nyt niin lähtenyt. Jonain toisena hetkenä olisin saattanut antaa 5 tähteä tälle. Kummiskin tällä levyllä on monta kappaletta josta paljon pidän. Parhaat: Exit Music (For A Film), Let Down, Karma Police, No Surprises.
the album after which things start to go downhill for Radiohead
Song to come back for: No Suprises, Marma Poloce (maybe)
This is one of those that I like most of the songs, but I this may have been only the second or third time I listened to the entire thing all the way through. I like it, but sometimes there is too much of a good thing in a short period of time.
One of the most classic 90’s album. A huge feat in musicality and ambition
great album, love their sound.
Turns out I quite like radiohead, this is a surprise to me. This is one of the weaker albums but still pretty solid
Sept. 16, 2024 I've never listened to Radiohead besides their popular songs (I assume, I don't think I could name one anyway), but I can tell I will like this one already based off of the first one. Okay 3rd song in and I'm bored. It's good, I think I would've liked it more if I were younger idk how to explain that. 4/5
I really dig it. I got into Radiohead in the first place because of Karma Police
It isn't hard to see why some consider this a masterpiece but it probably doesn't reach the pedestal some claim to place it upon. Damn close though.
already listened 9/10
Nicht mein Allzeit-Favorit, aber stellenweise ok bis gut!
I've heard about half the album before. Some great songs here like Paranoid Android, Karma Police, No Surprises and Lucky. Subterranean Homesick Alien was new to me and I really enjoyed it. I can do without Fitter Happier.
I like it, will listen again
b̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ m̶i̶r̶r̶o̶r̶ OK computer is written by one stoned british dude who just mutters shit like wot if ya mum ran on batteries
OK Computer” von Radiohead ist ein tiefgründiges Album, das alles andere als leichte Kost bietet. Die komplexen Arrangements und die vielschichtigen Texte machen es zu einem Werk, das man nicht einfach nebenbei hören kann. Es fordert die Aufmerksamkeit des Hörers und entfaltet seine volle Wirkung erst nach mehrmaligem Hören. Der erste Eindruck mag überwältigend sein, und es kann eine Weile dauern, bis man eine echte Begeisterung entwickelt. Vielleicht ist genau das das Konzept des Albums – es zwingt einen, sich intensiv damit auseinanderzusetzen und immer wieder neue Facetten zu entdecken. Nach einen ersten durchhören des Albums konnten noch keine Highlights identifiziert weden, was möglicherweise darauf hinweist, dass das Album als Gesamtkunstwerk konzipiert ist, bei dem jeder Track seinen Platz und seine Bedeutung hat.
1. airbag - 1 2. android - 1.5 3. alien - 1 4. ezit - 5 5. douun - 1.5 6. karma - 4 7. happier - 1 8. election - 1 9. uuallz - 1 10. zurprizez - 2 11. lucky - 1.5 12. tourizt - 2
Bought this album in early 2000s, hoping that it would be like Pablo Honey, containing another Creep... This is what I got... Karma Police in my head all day! With time, my appreciation for the album sure has increased, but it would be nice if we'd be a little more "chipper" or "up-beat" every now and again... even a Blues album gives you something to smile about. 4*
It’s a good album but is it as good as the Bends, eh No; however still better than a 3
So good!
My 50th album! A pretty minor milestone when looking at the long road ahead, but it's still satisfying. ...oh, the album? It's pretty great - OK, even. Massively overrated if we're really saying this is one of the best of all time, though.
The bends is better
Good
7/10 - it was pretty good but I feel like I don’t get all of the Radiohead hype. I mean it’s pretty good but maybe I’m missing something
Overall pretty decent album just a few dull spots bringing it down to four stars
I’ve never fully understood why this album is always considered one of the best ever. That being said, it is very good and ‘No Surprises’ is excellent.
Nice
If I’d been shown this record without any context I certainly would’ve guessed it was Muse. There’re some moments with serious shredding (Paranoid Android, Electioneering, Climbing Up the Walls) and ethereal space-shippy vocals. Yet there’s also a gentleness that acts as a strong contradictory point to the more bombastic sections. The electronic production falls in seamlessly next to the more traditional rock elements. Definitely understand how this one earned its legendary status. Listened to: walking along Joes Pond. Favorite tracks: Paranoid Android, Karma Police, Climbing up the Walls
This album was good, especially the singles (Karma Police and No Surprises). I didn't feel like this album took as many risks as other Radiohead albums we've heard in this project, but it's one of their earlier works and is from 1997, so that may be a factor. The spoken word "Fitter Happier" track was pretty jarring to the album flow for me, but didn't detract too much from the overall album.
Really liked it, would have liked it more if I understood more than a handful of the lyrics (granted, I have audio processing issues, so might just be me.)
Without looking, I'd say this album is right after the Bends and before Kid A. Mainly because it sounds like a bit of both albums. I actually thoroughly enjoyed this record. To me, this is the start of Radiohead getting more experimental and/or weirder. Some of Thom Yorkers sustained note singing is a little annoying... But he's such a great lyricist and he creates interesting melodies. His voice is just a bit... Bleh. But I still like it. I will keep trying to get into Radiohead.
Pretty sure I thought some of these songs were by Keane. My dads favourite Radiohead album, I quite enjoyed it tbh
Percebi mt das bandas que eles influenciaram
I'm still unsure about Radiohead, but I know a banger when I hear it.
I’ve always liked Radiohead but have not given the albums the time to really click with me and blow me away… that said I think this is the most I’ve ever enjoyed it! It’s truly incredible rock music with very special attention paid to unique textures that add to its world-building and monumental status
There are a few songs on here that I think are true greats. But I’ve never fully emotionally attached to this album above other Radiohead works. Anyway, love your review and love you Sameen ❤️
It was a bit slow to start, and I'm still not crazy of Thom's vocals, but the last 2/3 or so of the album were pretty great. Fun hopping between styles with lots of cool effects subtly added in.
I have heard so much about this album leading up to this. I’ve heard so much praise and so much love that it was hard to know if I could believe that the hype was real and I could buy into it. I’ve seen it ranked as the greatest album of all time, or one of them. I’ve heard fanboys and music critics alike absolutely gush about this album. People cannot get enough of it. So what did I think? It was great. What else am I supposed to say? What can I say? This feels a little like Sgt. Pepper where everyone has said everything that can be said about it. It’s difficult to come up with something original to say without sounding cliche. The difference between this and Sgt. Pepper, at least for me, is that I’ve heard this album once and Pepper multiple hundreds of times. I had no attachment to this album outside of the few tracks I already knew and so came at this a little more objectively. Here are my general thoughts. One listen isn’t enough. For multiple reasons. For one, I can’t hardly understand most of what Thom Yorke is fucking saying. All the long, drawn out words sometimes blend into each other and become one long sound instead of individual words. It’s actually kind of annoying. So another listen is required purely to pick up on the lyrics, preferably while reading along. But then another listen is necessary because, from what I’ve read, this is an album with very meaningful lyrics that reflect themes of isolation and loneliness, none of which I picked up on. So it needs another listen there. But what about the music? Shit, man. It was great. One word I’d use to describe the feel of this album is dread. Another is confusion. Regardless of what the lyrics say, the music itself really drives home its own themes that are present throughout most of the record. That alone earns praise from me because oftentimes a band has either good lyrics and mediocre music or good music and mediocre lyrics. Even great bands suffer from this. But this album, like a lot of Radiohead’s work, has both. So major props there. I want to give this five stars, but without really understanding the album and meeting it in the middle, I don’t think I can. One day I’m sure I will. But four stars for now. Standout Tracks: (Literally all of them but three, so I’ll list those because that’s easier: Subterranean Homesick Alien, Let Down, Fitter Happier)
Not much to say. Solid pop record.
Couple of great tunes here to lift it out of the 3-star doldrums.
When Radiohead found their sound. Too bad 30% of this album sounds like the stuff before it.
Much, much better than In Rainbows and Amnesiac. My opinion of Radiohead would be very different if I heard this first.
I'm much less familiar with this Radiohead, but I've heard OK Computer a few times. While I prefer just about every album that came out after this one, I do feel this is where they really came into their own. Their albums preceding this are relatively boring and a bit of a slog. It's nice to revisit this one, but it's still not the one I gravitate towards when I want to listen to Radiohead.
I remember when this came out thinking it was good, but I preferred The Bends. I haven't heard it in ages, and it was better than I thought. It's all strong and the last track The Tourist is excellent. I listened to The Bends afterwards and I still prefer it. I guess OK Computer was the album where they began turning away from more mainstream fans like me and were embracing the more miserable and abstract side of their natures - actively rejecting the more commercial sound. Fair play to them. Although they lost me eventually I'd rather a band did this than became Coldplay.
Good but iss no Kid A
76/100
Head music back at it. This one has a smattering of songs that are both cool and gloomy. Cloomy. I like da bendz, rainbows, and the kid one more. I think Karma Police was the first Radiohead song that I ever digested, being on the NOW 1 CD that we would take camping in the 90s.
It's a pretty solid album through and through - a few weird tracks that are just too weird.
Such a banger
Band is awesome and the album has an amazing sound. Have only listened to it a few times now but this could be 5 star material. 4.5 stars for now
4.4
Excellent album
Classic album, with many good songs. Doesn't quite have the flow I look for in a 5/5 album, but still a very solid album.
Apex of early Radiohead. Strong if overfamiliar.
A real banger. By happenstance I did two Radiohead albums within a few days of each other, and I had a great time with both of them. This one started out incredibly strong and didn't quite maintain that momentum the entire time. But I loved it.
[in the voice of someone who is fatigued from having been given five Radiohead albums on this list so far] This is the best one
Classic! Haven't listened to it in a while but it was great to get reacquainted. Love how they can go from a very somber dark quiet sound to energized and rocking several times throughout the album.
Lots of really cool alternative rock ideas on this record. Did not capture my imagination or attention in the way I had thought it would, given the mythical acclaim this album holds, but I still enjoyed it.
There are several records in this list that I can judge immediately after listening to, but this is one of those records that requires multiple listening to make an accurate judgment. There is a lot here to enjoy and overall, I would rate it between three and four. The music and lyrics I give high marks, but Thom Yorke's vocals can be a touch whiney and sing-song but even with that, I would listen again.
As much as i struggle with Radiohead, this album is great.
8/10
OKC is not as good as Kid A. The themes are similar, but Kid A’s desolate electronic sound is just far more engaging to me. That being said, I can’t judge this album based on other work, so I’ll give this album a fair treatment. OKC is fantastic. Maybe not quite as good as most music nerds will say, but it hits nearly every beat that it is trying to and the band’s performance/Thom’s writing is some of the best they’ll do in their career. I can’t say anything about this album that hasn’t already been said. It’s amazing (obviously)
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’ve never listened to OK Computer before this. Obviously I’ve heard about it, and heard about it, and heard about it, and While I’ve never sat down and listened to this album before, I’ve enjoyed a lot of remixes and mashups using songs from it and have otherwise heard the songs just from existing online and liking related genres. The best pop song mashups always include either Radiohead or Björk). At some point it just had to be overhyped and overrated. And considering just how -hyped and -rated it has been in the music spaces online I’ve occupied, it surely is. But, unfortunately, it also rules tremendously. Sorry :( I think it would get better with repeated listening and I didn’t like the song with the robot voice so I’m giving it 4/5. I will probably return to this album and unfortunately I can see myself rating this 5/5 in the future. Hard to pick a standout song because it works as a complete work so well (which is something I value in these ratings, if you haven’t noticed). If I had a chance to listen to it a second time, I’m sure I could pick out some standouts. I’ll say Subterranean Homesick Alien for now because that was when I first said to myself “oh no, this rules”
Solid album, but this isn't the best album of all time. Sorry, depressed millennials.
Its a nice one album, is seems like Muse singer with a soft band
Solid
Controversial unpopular opinion...for me I have never really understood the appeal of Radiohead. Nothing is bad about them but there is also nothing stellar to me so I went deep on this album, listened to it multiple times, read the lyrics along with the music, without the music and read numerous breakdowns, reviews and abouts the album. By immersing myself in it, I understand the appeal and it is very well done for what it is. It is looking at our capitalized society at its worst, explaining those flaws and letting everyone know how wrong they are. But in doing that he completely loses me in what he wants to do to change it and make it better. Or what to even appreciate about in our society. In a way it gives me a little bit of boomer vibes, "Well in my day we used to...." Or when you say it is a beautiful day the person responds, "Yes but the way in the Ukrainian is still going on..." True, but we can appreciate today for what it is, see the small joys in life and try our best to improve it moving forward. I give it a four for the technical quality of everything involved because that is impressive.
+1 star for the song with the Dr. Sbaitso voice
Great album. It's not my favorite Radiohead, but it's top tier for sure. 4.25/5
Excellent album.
Pretty damn good album, but as all albums that were groundbreaking for their time, has a bit of that "you had to be there at launch" feel to it
Going from "Old 70s album that nobody in my generation has ever heard of" to "Late 90s album that has plagued the previous and current generation of adults is quite jarring. I am, unfortunately, not emo nor am I a millennial. So, a lot of the vibes in this album go over my head. That does not, however, mean I lack respect for the melodies and intent. I especially enjoy Electioneering, Exit Music, and The Tourist. The rough sound of the 90s with the heavy synth tickles a part of my brain that makes me feel relaxed despite all the distortion and ambient(n't) samples sprinkled throughout the album. As a whole, while it isn't the kind of music I listen to that much, it's a great set that resonates strongly with the last 3 tracks in the album.
'OK Computer' is a landmark release in alternative rock, bridging the gap between Radiohead's distinctive sounds at the turn of the millennia. It's one of the albums that I listened to very early on in my alternative rock discovery period. It certainly still holds up upon re-listen - juxtaposing theatrical elements like in 'Lucky' and 'Paranoid Android' with the more isolated and spacious moments like 'No Surprises' and 'Let Down'. It all feels very cinematic and linear though I wouldn't exactly call it a concept album. 'Let Down' is easily my favorite song here and maybe my favorite Radiohead song - it details one's dissatisfaction with the monotony of their life as they yearn for an escape. It's not an insanely unique topic, but Yorke's writing and vocal performance transform this song's melancholic premise into something almost tragic (never mind the gorgeous wall of sound on the outro). I mentioned this album bridges the gap between Radiohead's sounds, and that's certainly true instrumentally - fusing elements of more traditional alternative rock with these electronically driven aspects that would be later fleshed out on 'Kid A'. This fusion helps convey this album's very overt messaging relating to a synthetic world; one that promotes shallowness and individualism. Song topics vary (like in the opener) but I always found that to be the overarching theme here. The playing and music sound great as well, but it would be redundant to talk about all that considering the sheer number of accolades this album has amassed throughout the years. I don't think I can add much to the 'OK Computer' gushery that hasn't already been said over the past nearly 27 years. To me though, this album has always been a very comforting listen and its dystopian imagery stands as potent even today. While I don't enjoy every track here and I typically just stick to the handful of songs here that I love, I most certainly "Get the Hype".
This is really depressing and exactly what I like
Couple good singles, though nothing as iconic as Creep I see this album as important in the evolution of the band that would go from Pablo Honey to Kid A and beyond, rather than supremely important to music generally
Ok, fine. I get it.
Alright, maybe I do like Radiohead a little. I was at least somewhat aware of Paranoid Android, Karma Police, and No Surprises, but I don't remember enjoying them this much. I'm also very happy to have heard Airbag. I wish Electoneering was less lo-fi, as this project has taught me that I don't really like that. Now I feel compelled to give Kid A and Amnesiac another try after listening to this...
'OK Computer' is a groundbreaking album that was ahead of its time, and a significant shift in the band's direction from their previous work. It may require multiple listens to fully appreciate. I highly recommend giving it a chance and listening to it more than once to fully absorb it before you completely write it off.
Moody, very moody. And a bit sad. But also very good. I don’t want to like this album, the lead singer moans a lot, is whiney and annoying. No Surprises (best song on the disc) is a perfect example. Agree that this one makes the 1001 must hear list (3.8*s)
This album will keep you engaged from start to finish and you'll never tire of listening to it. You hear something new each time through and it's as good as everyone has always said it is. It's atmospheric, moody, foreboding, and layered. It's also upbeat and promising at times and it aged very well. So complex but not overly produced, Radiohead does it again. You will see more from them on this list. Solid.
What an album. Always heard how good OK Computer was but never sat down and listened in unison. I am happy to sign off that it belongs on every list. Fantastic and creative from start to finish. I've been tangentially into Radiohead for a while but haven't really spent extended time listening to them. I know the hits and have been exposed from time to time to others and have pretty much always liked what I've heard. This listen specifically will inspire me to go album by album through their discography. 4.15 stars
a great record almost completely dragged down by narcissistic miserablism
Joe has promised not to call off the wedding even though I’m only giving this a 4. #phew I didn’t realize how much I enjoy Karma Police until this listen through. Overall liked this better than In Rainbows but I still think too many of their songs sound the same, which is holding me back from a 5 star rating.
dense, lush, layered, probably missed a lot of the references but this album seems a lot more interesting than the other two albums by them I've heard (The Bends and Hail to the Thief). Worthy of a few more plays!
I mean it's good , a solid 4 star but just short of greatness
Never gave it a fair chance before and ... wow. Very nice listen, experimental yet still a pretty easy listen. Easy to see why it got so popular. Fitter Happier and the second half not being as interesting drags it down a bit for me though.
This needs a specific mood but I listened to it on a rainy quiet afternoon with tea and my cat sleeping in my arms
Absorbing. Achieves a number of things at once - ambient chill for drifting off to sleep; commentary on life; intense moods. Rewards long-term attention.
Mellow vibes, very similar to a muse kind of sound. Enjoyed, to be honest never really listened to much radio head but I’d give it another go
Enjoyed this album eventually. Took a bit to get into.
If I had to rate this album in 2017 sitting high in my freshman dorm room when I initially fell in love with Radiohead, it would definitely get a 5. I still listen to some of my favorite songs, but haven't listened to this or Kid A in their entirety in quite a while. I still absolutely love Radiohead but I wasn't connecting to the entire album as much as I had in the past. That said, I listened to No Surprises and Karma Police like 5 more times after the album. Mood when starting: tired, wanting to be home Setting: driving in the rain late night to get back from a long family dinner
I've somehow avoided listening to this album up until today. I liked it, it was good. It doesn't immediately strike me as a legendary album in the way that Otis Blue or Sgt Peppers would, but I definitely enjoyed it. As with some other records on this list, I suspect this album was a moment in time as much as it was a collection of songs. I wasn't there for that moment, and I've benefited from all the music that was inspired by it later, leaving me feeling like it's a pretty familiar sound. Karma Police was my favorite song. The other notables were 'Subterranean Homesick Alien', which was a really ambient and cool tracks, and Electioneering. 8/10
dude. I mean, come on. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said about this album. just fucking listen to it. it's great.
Great album - not the happiest!
One of those albums where the brilliance shines through even if it's not always for me. Intensity and energy are present even in the quiet parts of this album.
Pretty good. Especially last 2-3 songs.
Ooooooo boy First off, fuck these zionist twats Second off, it's not even top 3 in their discography I don't know if I'm in deep enough to fully understand and love this record, but the songs that hit HIT. Paranoid Android, Electioneering, Let Down, Climbing Up the Walls, and of course the ever-flawless No Surprises. I don't love it as a cohesive project just yet, but what I respect is there.
I do not understand the hype. Maybe repeated listens would prove me wrong. Pretty good though.
Heavy hitter, widely recognized as a GOAT album, lots of new ideas and sounds given the time. Very deep and experimental in a HUGE fan. 4.4
Das berühmte Meisteralbum von Radiohead. Überall von der Kritik gelobt und gefeiert. Und ja, es ist in jedem Fall hörenswert und unglaublich gut und abwechslungsreich produziert. Schon zur damaligen Zeit etwas anders. Mehrmals muss man es anhören und die Perlen kommen zum Vorschein. Insgesamt gesehen gehört es nicht zu meinen absoluten Favoriten. Ich besitze eine Best of von Radiohead. Sie macht mich allein schon glücklich. Dennoch hörenswert "OK Computer". Allein schon wegen "No surprises"
I have to put this to bed for myself. Been wracking my brain trying to figure out, really, what I think about this album (and Radiohead in general, as I still owe a review of Kid A). But I think I finally got it. The band are paradoxical. Yorke goes out of his way to confuse us both lyrically and professionally - in interviews, his stage presence or lack thereof, etc. Abjectly refusing to take the Prog baton, while doing exactly that. Being the "Biggest Band in the World™" while at the same time the most introverted band to ever exist (putting the lie to "introversion" as real concept at all, but these personality tropes help marketers so let's all just keep on pushing the stereotypes). Being upper-crust English Gentlemen from Oxford yet having a vicious hatred for the establishment. Being the living human embodiment of these paradoxes would push one to the edge of a certain socially acceptable madness. The listener is expected to ignore all of it and take a quick dip in this strange pool. I'm not judging this as bad. In fact, one of the reasons Radiohead succeeds is that they are somehow able to make catchy well-composed, almost accessible music out of this confused, often depressing and enraging state of mind. It's an impermanent state, but one that will float in and out of consciousness without warning. And one that leaves only on it's own accord, even if asked politely. This is Radiohead for me. They absolutely went to a place pop music (HA!) never really went. If we believe Yorke and Co this was not contrived but spontaneous. Another paradox, in that if tyoou think about it, no music is either truly spontaneous or truly contrived, it's not a black and white thing. I was becoming annoyed by interpretations of the lyrics and their confusing, abstract nature: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN! Add to it the idea, for me, that some of these interpretations do NOT correspond at all with what the words in the poems actually ARE. Just as an example, let's talk about Airbag (first song on the album and puts itself out there as a representative). I've read articles whose purpose was to shed light on the poetry (it's poetry, in the ancient sense, but without the storytelling) claiming this song is about a car crash. And outside of the literal interpretation, about "transport", and maybe even the dangers of modern society, cars, whatever. But if you look at the lyrics, what are they really saying? Born again. Almost died. Airbag saved my life. What actually saved your life, man? How did you almost die? Was Thomas telling the story of a car accident that he was in? Maybe.. these guys are a paradox. Maybe all of his angst has to do with people like me misinterpreting what he's trying to say. (I've read that infact some of Thom Yorke's angst comes from exactly this.) Is "Airbag" a complaint about technology, or an acknowledgement? The fine German car caused a problem (car crash), but the Airbag prevented a different problem (death), so maybe the technology that can kill you can actually save you? What is repeatedly discussed is being born again, and the chorus about an interstellar burst and how I am back to save the universe. Yes, Thom Yorke was in an accident, yes, he has spoken about it and the relationship to this song. So you can certainly take it very literally - the feeling of escaping a near death experience adn emerging from it with a renewed sense of joie de vivre. But HAVE YOU HEARD THIS SONG. There is no joy, only fear. So it's poetry and soundtracks. The poetry isn't really all that great. The singer sounds almost as if he doesn't want you to understand the words, they are there as a vehicle for his voice to intertwine with the guitar - vocals as musical instrument. WHich is great. People love that. It has just been difficult to unravel the various paradoxes with Radiohead, or understand when they are possibly NOT being paradoxical at all. I came to this music later in my life. If I heard this first when I was 17, you couldn't tear it out of my cold dead hands. But I deeply respect it, tall the guys in this bad are fantastic musicians and Thom Yorke is without question one of the best vocalists of this generation (arguably any generation), and an entertaining frontman as well. But every time I hear Radiohead, a small bit of my enjoyment is clouded by the cynicism that they themselves frame everything with. It becomes tedious. I feel pressure to like them more than I do. When that pressure gets to be too much to take, I put on OK Computer and drift away to a different place ;)
I can see lots of modern artists drawing inspiration from this album alone, and for that I love it!
Took me several listens but I converted to a fan of this album finally
I forgot how much I love Let Down as a song.
A strong 4 minus. Some songs are just a bit confusing
I liked this, very angsty.
heard this one before, had lots of songs liked already. i’ll still probably never get it the way big radiohead fans do, but this is nice to put on in the house. more a whole than the sum of its parts for me.
11/12
Wow, was that really 25 years ago. Shit, I'm old!
Really cool album. I wish there was like a 4.25 rating available. Electioneering might be my sleeper pick for favorite song.
This album humanized Radiohead for me. I’ve never been a full time fan of theirs, but I’ve always enjoyed certain moments, Karma Police for example. When Paranoid Android came out with its wild music video, I was stunned. I both loved it and was turned off by its otherworldliness. Giving this album a full listen helped me realize they are a rock band. Definitely one that was pushing limits and being weird, but they’re a rock band. I loved Electioneering and think I’ll add it to my running playlist. Also, Thom Yorke is one of a kind.
This album felt like a mental breakdown 👌👌👌
This sounded so much like MUSE
radio noises are a vibe; fun sounds
Lot's going on right from the beginning. Each song is pretty unique. Added a few to the ultimate playlist. Good stuff, easy to see why its important to this band and music.
I like. Might listen again ?
Another famous band I've not really listened to! I'm not sure if I actually recognise any track names from their top tracks. Paranoid Android was good and Karma Police sounded familiar! Enjoyed the whole album including the 2017 edition with the second side, it certainly has a vibe.
It's not my favourite Radiohead album so lets say it's a floored 4
As an admitted skeptic when it comes to Radiohead no Thom Yorke’s voice especially, I am pretty bowled over by OK Computer upon a complete listen. I need to listen a lot more, and a lot more carefully, because I’ve missed out here. Badly.
I enjoy music for how it pleases my ears and no much depth, this album has some tracks that I'll listen to for the rest of my life, rating 4 stars because some of them were not for my taste. Wonderfull album!
I finally just got into Radiohead this year and I really love this album!
Slow, Whiny depressed but very very good.
This was the turning point for Radiohead, the boundary between being a reasonable but limited Alternative band and something unique and enduring. There are hints of what was to come on The Bends, but OK Computer embraces fully the dreamy, electropop that would become signature Radiohead. This is the type of album you don't look to for "songs". Instead, it's about mood; It's about soundscapes. Of course, this is the point of polarization for Radiohead fans. You could like Fake Plastic Trees or Creep as just a song. You have to embrace Ok Computer as a concept. It was an either/or situation. What they began with Ok Computer is what we now think of as Radiohead. Thank goodness.
I get why people like this album. It has very pretty sounds. I think I would have liked it better if I smoked some indica. Or if I could make out anything Thom Yorke was singing about. Might smoke somethin and give it another listen.
I'm not a big fan of Radiohead. But this album holds a soft spot on my heart. Always nice to hear it.
I can’t listen to this album with fresh ears. It was my indoctrination to the musical tastes of my Austin crew and I treasure it. It’s atmospheric, yet melodic. Each song, a little symphony. Lyrically grand and prescient. 4.6
absoluter banger, klaustrophobisch, elektrisch, analog, dystopisch bass is super cool
Very pleased.
Listened to this after listening to The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Not a bad choice. Radiohead held their own. Glad I went back and checked this one out.
I liked it. Will listen to again
I take a star off to prove that I’m not a pick-me
Good album, didn’t grab me like some of the other Radiohead albums I’ve listened too but still a solid entry.
First full Radiohead album listen - it's a good one. All the singles are definitely the strongest songs on the album, with No Surprises being my favorite.
This album is excellent. It uses interesting chord structures, varied instrumentation, and haunting vocals to create an emotional experience, simultaneously imparting on the listener that feeling of existential, anxious dread in the pit of your chest and that tight, immediate adrenaline rush of anxiety. In short, this album is a paranoid experience in all the best ways. Favorite songs were Paranoid Android (duh), Electioneering, Karma Police, and Fitter Happier. I don't think I had a least favorite song.
It's pretty good, understand it is iconic, but it kid of slides past me
Ionic
I've heard of this album for a long time but never bothered to seek it out. I don't think it was an earth shattering legendary album. I can see where it would be on some peoples best list. Scale: 5 - My absolute favorites. 4 - Albums I like. 3 - It was ok to listen to but I wouldn't seek it out. 2 - Didn't like. 1 - Absolute shit.
índice apenas melódico, não prestei atenção nas letras. rsss dá a sensação de que é tudo a mesma música, talvez não de um jeito pejorativo. +: acabei prestando atenção na letra de Karma Police e me envolvi! me arrependi de não ter sido mais atenta. ++: odiei aqueles efeitos finais de Fitter Happier, mas cumpriu o propósito. gostei da letra, então posso passar pano. +++: Muse obviamente bebeu das águas de Electioneering kkkkk o álbum mudou de tom... ++++: saio convencida, sou emo, embora não deixe de notar uma certa pretensão hétero contracultura.
Es un álbum muy interesante, aún así me gusta más el the bends y el in rainbows
Exceptional work by radiohead.
Bardzo fajna płyta. 4/5 Dobry rock, wspomnienia i stary klimat
Not historically my favorite band but I dig it
I can finally say I’ve listened to OK Computer. Nice 👍 4.5/5
I really loved the instrumentals for the calmer songs. I couldn't understand a single word but I loved most of the album. I had to skip \"Fitter Happier\" tho. Creeped me out a ton.
The instrumental and noise work on this album is great. Every song I can focus on something specific and something else blends and grabs my attention. I don't know if the vocals are #1 but they fit the sound much better than most artists could. That being said they aren't bad at all and the lyrics aren't a slouch even if there are stronger writers. The album is a bit over the top moody but there's something strong here for sure.
Very easy to listen to. Interesting choices. Works very well as a cohesive album. I'm just not sure where I stand. OK Computer, I'm sorry. It's not you. It's me. 4.5
Already been a huge addict of Kid A. Let Down and Karma Police make the album.
It's hard to review a Radiohead album as a Smashing Pumpkins fan, considering how many times the former has gotten gushing, rave reviews for being "pioneers" for doing something the latter had already done (and gotten mostly scorn), but damned if this isn't a great album.
A great one for sure. TY’s voice gets to be a bit much for me after too much Radiohead. But great overall.
An essential listen, no doubt. Bridges the gap between the more structured predecessor, The Bends, and the experimental successors, Kid A/Amnesiac. A little less cohesive than what came before and after.
Fantastic stuff, I get it. I’m a casual Radiohead fan. I usually like what I hear, I had a “greatest hits” CD in high school that I used to play, because even back then I knew Radiohead was an “important” band. This was the first time I listened to this album in full though. Absolutely wonderful experience. Very much my thing. I hear so much of stuff I like in this - Bowie, Eno, Nomi, REM, McCartney, Wings, Broken Social Scene - all made into something different and new. “Lucky” is my favorite track, sounds like a Bond theme for a Bond movie that never was. Can’t wait to relisten to this album some more!
"OK Computer?" More like... "Pretty Darn Good Computer."
For my first Radiohead album, I think I certainly got a more experimental one, but I didn’t get a bad one. Compared to the last album, we’ve got such a variance of styles, and those styles enhance the core sound & the core message of the album. As a listening experience, it’s a really good album, and I think I have to add every track (except Fitter Happier) to my big playlist pretty much solely on the production and the vocals. Lyrically, I’m sure I missed some stuff, but I don’t know if I really care. Right now, it’s not a perfect album to me; there were some points where the dissonance of everything turned me away, at least on that first listen. I don’t think I can give it a 5 right now, but it’s no less than a 4. I can see where the hype comes from, and I think if I give it another re-listen or two to just let everything truly overwhelm me, it could easily be a 5.
First time listening to this, but I was aware of the regard it is held in. A lot less morose than I was expecting! I love the guitar playing on it, adds some odd textures to the songs. Really good album, lives up to the hype.
Pretty solid, enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
A bit depressing album :D But I liked the messy guitar and slow and emotional vocals. Reminds me slightly of Miami. But Mitski apparently did not draw any inspiration from Radiohead, only Coldplay lol. Also this is a very easy genre for me to listen to, I guess. I think a lot of modern British rock is better, this was a bit slow and bland for me. Not sure what my fav track was. And interesting lyrics I suppose.
4.5/5 Classic album. I love male manipulator music so much. <3
I need to feel in a mood to appreciate the album fully. It helps when there's heavy rain outside and I'm in with a cup of tea. I love that the album creates a beautiful unified whole. Sometimes they moan.
I discovered Radiohead when In Rainbows came out in ‘08. I went on a deep dive. Anytime I hear their music it takes me back to living in Chicago and discovering a new city.
One of the most beloved albums in the history of music. It is loved by everyone and there really is absolutely no one who doesn't like this album. It has flaws, but they are minimal. Yorke at his best is seen on this album. Truly a revolution in Alt-Rock and a revolution in the band itself. The production of the album is beautiful and the interpretation of each of the participants of the album is important. It has some of the best songs of the band's career. I think it ends up being so beloved because of the deep-not-deep writing that the songs have. While you have songs where deep lyrics are present (Karma Police), you have songs where they are not present and they are still great songs (No Surprises). I'm not saying that it's written like that, I'm saying that it has a quite digestible writing. In addition to this the more electric sound of the album as opposed to the other two albums before this one and that sound sounds so fresh to this day.
A melancholy masterpiece.
Blijft een geniale plaat, maar ik merk wel dat ik 'm door de jaren heen minder ben gaan koesteren dan vroeger. Door 'm zo nog eens op te zetten valt 't pas op hoe depressief alles klinkt. Productioneel is 't ook een beetje typisch 90's alternative, met veel bliepjes en scratches enzo. De songs zijn niet kapot te krijgen, maar ik ben meer fan van de eerlijke rechttoe-rechtaan-sound op bvb In Rainbows en de iets grotere fuck-you attitude in plaats van het geklaag. Maar ja, No Surprises, Lucky, Karma Police, Paranoid Android, Exit Music, Airbag,... sja, de verzameling is wel crazy.
Wasn't bad but way overrated
Late 90s alternative rock. Shades of Coldplay, Tragically Hip and Gin Blossoms… pleasantly surprised (I did not listen to Radiohead when there were popular). Low 4
Superb
I was really into electronic music at the time this came out so was pleased that Radiohead had gone all ‘Aphex Twin’ on us. Really interesting album, don’t understand why my brain likes his whiney moaning voice, it’s variety of styles, but even after all these years it still does. Are Radiohead essentially Wakeman without the cape and better synths - if so please let’s hope their next tour is a faithful recreation of King Arthur on Ice!
Sounds OK. Computer
It's alright. A pretty solid album with some good stuff on it. I'll give it the same light four I give every Radiohead album, or at least most of them. It's good, but not exactly what I want. My favourite songs were Karma Police, No Surprises, and Subterranean Homesick Alien. Shocking, I know.
I was 13 when this album came out and never gave it the attention I should have. Innovative and daring album in the hay day of grunge.
Bit of a downer, but in an excellent way.
"OK Computer" by Radiohead is a groundbreaking album that effortlessly blends alternative rock with experimental elements. Released in 1997, it remains a masterpiece with its thought-provoking lyrics, intricate instrumentals, and Thom Yorke's haunting vocals. Tracks like "Paranoid Android" and "Karma Police" showcase the band's ability to create atmospheric soundscapes while delivering socially conscious messages. The album's cohesive narrative and sonic innovation have solidified its place in music history, making it a must-listen for anyone appreciating the evolution of rock.
9/10, um dos melhores e mais icônicos álbuns de rock alternativo dos anos 90, porém não tenho certeza se é o melhor álbum da banda.
overrated computer
Never thought I liked Radiohead, but I think it’s because the fans of Radiohead.
avant guard
I was excited to sit down and listen to this as an adult. I know there are some bangers on here, but as a young'n Radiohead was the annoying boring stuff that interrupted the loud grunge on the radio and the music video for paranoid android was highly unsettling to me. It really drags at the end, but there's a lot of great stuff here. It has an emblematic 90s non-music interlude track which I appreciate on principle. It hearkens to a time when people made albums instead of singles
I enjoyed this one. I had only listened to a few songs by Radiohead before (“Karma Police” being one) but I knew I liked their style of music. I really appreciated the variety of songs, and I think that “The Tourist” is my new favorite Radiohead song. I didn’t want the album to end.
perfect for disassociating at the mall because I accidentally needed to buy pants on Thanksgiving weekend, thanks
Some great angsty songs, thoughtful writing throughout, great instrumental, great guitars, you can see what they were going for and they nailed it Tom Yorke looks a bit like my ex girlfriend in a weird way though
Good, varied and just like I remember it.
Channels moody y2k teen in the best way.
Radiohead entirely passed me by when they came out. Glad I'm able to listen now pretty much for the first time, outside the singles. This was a joy!
Great Album!!
I first heard this when I was a young 17 year old girl in a band with a bunch of 30 something year old dudes. The guy who taught me to play guitar handed me this album and Ween’s GodWeenSatan. I wasn’t ready for Ween quite yet but I loved OK Computer. This album is so electric. Much better than their moany electronic stuff.
This album has aged so well. It is atmospheric and immersive. For an album that is so heavily produced, it has a live feel to it. I imagine I’ll get more out of this each time I come back to it
Daria
Love
Moody and sad in the best way
Pääasiallisesti hyvä levy, mutta muutama hitaampi filleri on mukana. The Tourist esimerkiksi olisi voinut jäädä pois.
3.5: I generally like a few songs by A tribe called quest but not today I guess
merite une seconde ecoute pour mieux apprécier 8/10
Really enjoyed 😁
Really enjoyed some of the song selection
“No alarms and no surprises please” this album isn’t for every mood but when it hits, it’s perfect.
Strange and unique. Liked it a lot!
Probably my favorite Radiohead album, but I don't really go out of my way to listen to Radiohead anymore. Album flows really nicely overall, and No Surprises stays sad af
Objectivement : - évolutif - intéressant - intelligent - créatif - magnifique - en avance sur son temps sur certains morceaux - bien mixé samer - production de bâtard Subjectivement: Voyage magnifique, je ne saurais dire vraiment mieux que ça Mais je sais que ce ne sera pas mon album préféré de Radiohead, il me touche moins que d'autres 4,5/5
😎
Their first great album.
This album had really good riffs and slower paced songs that are usually what I listen to. Not all the songs are fast enough though, I felt as if I was listening to more beats than the voice, which isn’t always a bad thing. My favorite songs from this album are often played (paranoid android, no surprises, and karma police). The new ones that I haven’t really heard are let down and climbing up the wall.
I want to get it but I still don't think I get it.
Liked it a lot more than other Radiohead albums. cool guitars
Álbum sensacional demais. A mudança de estilo que pautou muitas bandas no futuro.
I love this album so very much.
Airbag: 3/5 Pretty decent, interesting addition of electronic aspects in a mostly "rock" song, but overall just kind of chill Paranoid Android: 5/5 Super diverse sounds throughout, going from chill Muse-ish vibes to harder rock and guitar solos and shit. Loved it Subterranean Homesick Alien: 4/5 More on the psychedelic rock side. Exit Music (For a Film): 5/5 Sounds like music for movie credits, so the title nailed it. Really like the background vocals throughout. Oh hey its that song that I know that I always thought was Muse. Let Down: 4/5 Nice listening music, pretty chill, not a huge standout though Karma Police: 4/5 See above with "Let Down" Fitter Happier: 4/5 Spooky, I hated it and loved it at the same time. Okay Hal 9000 go off. Electioneering: 4/5 Loved the guitar in this one especially. Climbing Up the Walls: 3/5 Enjoyed most of it but near the ending got a bit chaotic for me. No Surprises: 4/5 OH THAT FUCKING SONG. Super sad song tbh. Witerawwy Cwying rn. Lucky: 4/5 Similar to Exit Music with the background vocals and Electioneering with the guitar. The Tourist: 3/5 It's okay, goes on a bit too long for me without changing much. Understandable as the final track though. Overall I enjoyed it, found some songs I would definitely give another listen to, but not necessarily the kind of music I would regularly listen to.
this seems to be a trip through my high school cds.
The only Radiohead song I knew before this was Creep … so this was a surprising listen. I really enjoyed the feel of this album, even if I could not get much of the lyrics (but also sensed they did not matter greatly). It had a unique and melancholic sound - there were so many times I would start to catch a glimpse of other bands, but then it would disappear. Maybe bc there is just so much going on here? And maybe it’s bc I just listened to the Pink Floyd last week, but also got a bit of that vibe? Very good find for me.
Solid album. Always loved electioneering but it's been awhile since I listened to the rest of it.
The ever present issue in rankings list: how much to count the context in which the album was released vs the quality of the content itself? Is it a personal preference or a wholistic ranking? All in all I was glad to revisit this album with fresh eyes. I think the sound is remarkably fresh, always a good sign. Lyrically strong. Not my favourite Radiohead album, but a solid listen. I’ll round it up.
Kind of a retro-future vibe. Like in the 1950s everyone thought we'd have flying cars by 2000. I don't think this is the right word but I'm going to call it ephemeral because that is a cool word.
No alaaaarms and nooo surprises, no alaaaarms and nooo surpriseeeeeees <3
My typa stuff right here.
Good 90s sad boy art rock, sounds good, but I can never take 90s sad boy shit seriously.
A good time while high on drugs lol
Incredible album, I love the noisy dissonance a lot of the songs evolve into. Definitely recommend playing this through headphones. Losing one star because Thom Yorke's voice gets to me after an hour or so.
This is Good MusicTM.
Definitely slept on Radiohead. Glad to have listened.
Some exceptional songs that bring back memories.
Loved it. I'd forgotten how many great songs there are on this album.
Better than I remember
Need to be in the right mood for it cause it's sometimes a slow walk to get to the riffs you want to hear in each song.
Pretty ok
Overrated
Absoliučiai ikoniškas albumas, inspirines begale kitų atlikėjų. Tačiau gal dėl tiek daug kartų girdėtų dainų nėra kad įpatingai man patiko klausyti šį albumą dar kartą. Duodu 4/5 už praeities nuopelnus, bet vis linkstu prie kitų jų albumų.
great album
Radiohead has more than enough songs I could probably 5 star a double disk greatest hits if that's what this was. However this isn't a greatest hits its OK Computer which while being great I just don't know if I can justify giving this 5 stars even though part of me really wants to. There isn't really a bad song on this album but some them are just a little bit too slow for me and I don't know if "drone on" is the right description but it's the most fitting one I can think of. Theres a ton of different sounds on this album. There's loud sections that just rock out and then there's slow ambient synth sections that you can get lost in. All of it is uniquely Radiohead. I get the love for this album I just don't think it's their magnum opus. Its a 4.5 for me which I'll probably round down to a 4. I'll make up for this blasphemy if Hail to the Thief comes up.
Una chulada.
I’m not a fan of Radiohead. Bit too depressing and dreary for me. But I’d forgotten how good this album is. I feel like they lost me after this album. Nice to relive it though!
It’s great that an album that sites Bitches Brew as its main influence for song structure and that the EMI executives thought would tank, would platinum all over the world and receive “universal praise” from critics. Personally, I find that the tracks are solid and well written, and the production is sophisticated, but outside of Paranoid Android not too many really make you stop what you’re doing. Now that we’ve been sent (I think) all of the Radio Head albums, In Rainbows is my favourite.
Great to see Radiohead come up again and excuse to listen to this album. I feel I've gone through phases with Radiohead where I listen intensely then not at all for years. I think that's good as then you come back to it and remember what amazing music it is! It's like a fresh perspective and I felt that a lot re listening. Songs on this album have so many key memories. I remember when I was quite young in secondary school I had heard No Surprises but didnt know who it was or how to find it. I thought that initial two chord sequence was so beautiful. Eventually I heard Aaron Spiers playing it on guitar in a music practice room, and I was like OMG what is that song. on my behalf Simon Haddleton very rudely interrupted Aaron to ask what it is was. I did not ask him to and he did it quite rudely like OI! I cringe about that from time to time. Regardless he gave the album and I found the song, then spent ages working it out on piano. Coming back to No Surprises at different points in my life has been key. I really marvelled at it in this listen and read about the song writing. They wrote a song so dark an but then tried to make it sound like a lullaby so the tragicness wasn't so apparent. Kind of tying to how the tragicness of every day life isn't also do immediately apparent. Weirdly I think of Matt Halliday with Paranoid Android, it was his favourite song at sixth form and I think he tried to learn it in music tech a level. Karma Police makes me think of Adam Buxton talking about how seeing them live at The Roundhouse was one of the most moving experiences of his life. He said that when the lyrics "For a minute there I lost myself" he felt that in the performance and that everyone had lost themselves temporarily and how amazing it is that music can do that to you. I could go on. Overall the album is magnificent and idgaf if people think it's depressing, life can be depressing and love how Radiohead articulate that. Side note: Thom Yorke has aged remarkably well

Very lovely! I often forget how much I enjoy Radiohead and OK Computer reminded me of that. Sound is adjacent to psychedelic and some bits of progressive rock, which for me means that I have to be in a specific mood to listen to this as I get bored of slower music fairly quickly.
Outstanding
Great album. Loved it.
they wrote no surprises for 15yo me.
I've heard nothing but absolute praise from this album for years. And I must say I am very surprised it (mostly) lived up to the hype. While there were a few songs that I wasn't super impressed with, 90% of every song here really is *that* good.
Who hasn’t heard this record yet? Yea ofc it’s great a little overrated but still has plenty of incredible tracks just some that don’t hold up as well or some that just don’t fit, and nearing the end there’s a surprisingly high amount of these weaker tracks, all that said easy strong 8 easily one of the most essential art projects in history
Opvallend dat zo'n gelukzalig en voorspoeding decennium als de jaren negentig toch zoveel depri-muziek heeft voortgebracht (okee, er was ook happy hardcore). Ik heb destijds eigenlijk nooit veel naar Radiohead geluisterd, maar dit klassieke album kende ik natuurlijk wel. Het is goed gemaakt, daar niet van. Exit music for a film blijft tijdloos. Kortom, fijn om allemaal nog eens te horen, maar al met al vind ik veel van deze muziek toch te somber en te sloom om het vaker op te gaan zetten.
Dat gedrein. Als het een kind was, zou je hem toch even in de hoek zetten. Als het dreinende kind het masker even afzet, valt het wel mee. Het blijkt dan toch een kwaliteitsplaat. 3,5 sterren.
Classic
Never really considered myself a Radiohead fan, but I'm fairly familiar with them. This is their best album we've had on the list so far imo.... I think the bends may be better though? Sure it will turn up. When they are good, they are fantastic, I'm just not sure all of it is quite at the same level. Karma police is by far the best thing about this album. Can picture the music video when I hear the song. No surprises is the next best thing about it. Highlights: Paranoid Android Exit music Karma police No surprises Lucky Still not sure I'd call myself a fan, but too many good tracks not to give at least a 4
3.5
Good album, not as similar to Pink Floyd as people say but still a very good album. Similar to a David Bowie album from the 90s and Dark Side of the Moon. 100% deserves the recognition.
This was better than I expected and I know that if i came more familiar with it I would learn to really like it so I’m going to be optimistic and give a 4. This was not similar to the other albums I’ve heard by Radiohead, and I am pleasantly surprised! I liked the different sounds. Overall impressed.

Good, and I get it's so many peoples favorite, but can't give it 5 because In Rainbows is better. Just isn't as well put together as an album, even if it has some of their best songs.
Well, no surprises here. Through the list I've warmed to Radiohead, but I was pretty cold before. I get a lot of what people love about this, but I think I just like it. But then I'm too young to be jaded to really fall into this I think. Maybe one day I'll love it.
One of their best albums
Having never really, properly, listened to Radiohead other than the hits, can really see where the early comparisons were made regarding Muse’s early work. Overall a good album, but quite a complex listen at times
A great album here. Structurally and conceptually tight, a honing and advancement on their previous styles, and some classic tracks to boot. I will admit I have a preference for a couple of their later albums, and there are a couple tracks that are not really near the band at the best, though these are mostly compensated for by others that are. A decent to strong four. Fave tracks: Paranoid Android / Let Down
great vocals and instrumentals but didn’t quite hit the spot for me
this is one of the best radiohead albums. ita that good. this was way ahead of its time in 1997. its almost in rainbows. almost.
I get the hate for Radiohead, I guess I just come down on their side since I've enjoyed them since first hearing Pablo Honey a-ways-back-when. OK coMPUTER is a break from the gurney whiney alternative band and moves Radiohead into whiney adult rock agents. And I like it. 4/5.
4+
Top 3 Songs: 1 - Paranoid Android (2) 2 - Let Down (5) 3 - Karma Police (6)
Very good. 4 / 5 stars.
Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Paranoid android, Exit music, Karma police, No surprises, Electioneering
Bra, men fastnar inte riktigt riktigt.
It is an unpopular opinion, but this is the last of the great Radiohead albums. It is just a masterful album and the last one before it just got weird. Great listen!
I know this is a classic top 10 album, but I can never get through it. I try and I try and I get bored. I'd give it 3 stars, but I'm giving it 4 for my own patience issues.
lmao
it's okay they even say that in the title 👍 climbing up the walls remains my favorite song of it and probably my favorite radiohead song period, i rarely hear people mention it even when discussing the whole album which is a shame! such atmospheric and creepy deep cut. oknotok anniversary release also includes man of war, another favorite of mine, even if it's technically isnt really an ok computer song. unrelated to music but ok computer has such distinct and cool visuals (cover art for singles and the album etc), glad they continued to collaborate stanley donwood after that
Most overrated album of all time
Solid
Already heard
Miserable album, but that is what they were going for. I don't listen to it much these days but have some great memories of when it was first released.
I have never really sat down and given this record a focused listen. Despite that I'm struck by how familiar a lot of this record is, it must be a lot more ubiquitous than I realize. Radiohead has always been a lot for me, very dramatic indeed. And this record is very much that. Obviously they are a talented band and gifted musicians, but they just aren't really for me. I did enjoy listening to this, though it's hard for me to place it in any context.
Paranoid android - najneiskoristeniji riff na svijetu Bomba album
Need to losten maybe buy V
I liked this a lot, but needed repeated listening. Radiohead sound quite unique to me, and I don't quite get the Pink Floyd comparisons, other than the music and lyrics feel quite introspective and serious. I particularly liked No Surprises (which I now realise I have heard repeatedly over the years) and Subterranean homesick alien
