Reviews (page 15 of 15)

Standouts here are: • Karma Police • No Surprises • The Tourist Lots of vocals that were unpleasant to listen to. If you dig it, I’m happy for you! This is decidedly *not* for me.

I've never quite gotten the hype of Radiohead. I feel like I need better speakers than the crappy laptop ones to really appreciate this, but here we are.

Was OK

What is all the fuss about? Very little on here stands out, even half of the singles are forgettable to me. Abrasive lullaby’s for the depressed. Too soporific to be exciting, too shrill to be relaxing. I had to go listen to The Bends to remind myself that Radiohead can write great songs. Fuck it, 2 stars.

I know this is supposed to be their best album and all, but I just didn't enjoy it.

Ugh. It's fine. I like the big songs, but some of them make me roll my eyes. Best album ever? NO. Terrible? No.

Rock suave sin estridencias. Alguna melodía buena. No me ha llamado la atención

I enjoyed Karma Police and Fitter Happier, but the rest of the album was too slow for me. In the past I felt I never meshed with the Radiohead "vibe" and that trend continued with this album.

Disappointed.

just never been a fan

Better than I remember but still don't want to listen to it with any regularity.

About the same as I remember: some cool stuff, but it doesn't really grab me...in fact turns me away a bit.

Music for crybabies

Every tone is shit.

Jedinica iz principa. // Živim za dan kad će iof pajdo johnnya greenwooda (ili kako se već smeće zove) slučajno njega zamijeniti za nedužno malo dijete tamnije puti i uraditi ono što mu je obećano prije 3000 godina. I da je ovo najbolji album na svijetu, a nije, povraćala bih da ga opet slušam. Koliko ga se sjećam (a čega se ima sjećati, gomila cviljenja i gluposti), mogla bi biti neka tričica.

Rock music for pretentious people

Shoudnt be in top 1001

I thought this would be good cause its radiohead but it wasn't it was below average for me 2.1/10

Not my kind of music

РАДИОХЕД ГАВНО!!!!!!!!!! ПОЧЕМУ ТУТ НЕТУ PINKPANTHERESS FANCY THAT ВОТ ЭТО ИМБА!!!!!!!!!

Never listened to Radiohead before. But this is exactly how I thought it would sound

No, just no. I've tried so hard to like Radiohead. But they suck.

I don’t get radio head

This just did very little for me. I recognized many of the songs, but they felt not memorable.

I liked Radiohead as a younger teenager, but then I discovered music that's actually good. This was never my favorite album even then. Overrated album and band tbh. Fuck Israel.

No thanks

Probably the most overrated album of all time. I hated every minute of it.

never listened, never will you cannot break me

I started this list partially so that i could challenge my preconceptions about certain genres of music. One of those preconceptions was that Radiohead sucks. My preconceptions were strengthened after this album. You can sometimes hear the band working desperately in the background to try and give this album any semblance of sauce but their efforts are sucked into the whining, mewling vortex of Yorke's insufferable tennis-ball-in-mouth singing. The guy sings like he was castrated and is now *really sad* about it. I've heard death metal vocalists more understandable and pleasant to listen to. 'But the lyrics! They speak to modern man's alienation!' Maybe they speak to modern man's alienation from enunciating clearly, but what lyrics I was able to understand I was not impressed by, mainly in 'Fitter Happier' (since that song mercifully uses a TTS). It's some I'm-14-and-this-is-deep bullshit: being a happy, healthy, well-adjusted member of society is lame and stupid, I guess. As someone who was not that for a while, I can tell you that it's much less romantic and cool than this song implies. Rather be a pig on antibiotics than someone constantly on the verge of killing myself or assaulting somebody. I didn't bother to try to look up the lyrics to most of the other songs on this album because if you don't sound like you care about what you're saying then why should I? The band's playing is actually good on songs like Airbag, Electioneering, and Paranoid Android (which is the only song where the music and singing seem to express an emotion besides 'wah'), so realistically this is probably closer to a 2. However, I'm giving it a 1 out of sheer spite for all the music critics and self-important hipsters that have spent the last 30 years slobbering over the dick of a band that is ultimately just another mediocre indie outfit.

Overrated trash. Very uninteresting

Did not loved it. I dont like songs that sound like noise or no-lyrics without a symphony.

Взагалі не моє

Not my kinda thing but didn’t mine two of the songs.

Not my vibe 🤷‍♀️

If Let Down wasn't surrounded by the rest it might be a bit irresistible. And some of the parts of the whole thing without Thom Yorke are quite good, technically kinda brilliant in places (not the computer voice either). But I can't deal with the level of misery and whine on this album. And it has Karma Police and Paranoid Android *and* No Surprises on it so.. while it's impressive how many songs on this are still played endlessly and so on... No... Basically. Not for me.

Grozno. Na Fitter Happier sam odustao. Hvala, sljedeci!

I found this to be unenjoyable for the most part. There were a few moments where I liked the instrumental parts of songs. Electioneering was the most tolerable song overall. I detested the vocals - whiny, grating. The lyrics were depressing and weird. The overall tone of the album was depressing.

You all are wrong.

Nails on a chalkboard. This band would do well to sell their songs to others for recording. Like Morrissey, unlistenable, pathetic voice.

Please! No more Radiohead! Thom Yorke’s voice sucks! It’s way too weak and whiny for the hard driving guitars and synthesizers.

Dreary adjective dull, bleak, and lifeless; depressing.

How many albums does this dude have? Just make one big cry like a bitch album and be done with it.

Painful... if this made the list I must not have any musical culture. Listening felt like punishment.

Most overrated album I've encountered so far for real.

was just not feeling it, couldn't connect. something too manish about it for me.

meczace, moze dwa ok, musialem skipowac wiele piosenek wiec za to minus

Very boring album, and honestly how did kore than one radiohead make into this list. I would say this was as bad as the first album i listened too

I have tried many times with these guys but for me this album and the band in general is torture. As overrated as anything I have ever heard.

An album for people who truly deserve their government disability checks. Seek therapy immediately if you enjoyed this.

Not my type of music

I have been dreading this album ever since I started this project. I have not listened to it in something like 25 years, after listening to it on constant repeat after I bought the album. Listening to it now brings up such an intense and unpleasant visceral reaction that it's hard for me to keep it on. Once upon a time I fell asleep to this album. There was a dumb trend back when this came out, I guess because they could, where bands put "secret" songs on the back end of an album. In the case of OK Computer, the secret song came on after something like 20 minutes of slow, pulsing electronic music. When I consciously listened to the album, I'd either skip the final song or fast forward through the bridge. But when I fell asleep I couldn't do that. I don't know if it was the bridge itself, or some other part of the album (it does all kinda blend together), but this album became the sound track to the worst nightmare I have ever had. It haunts me to this day, the despair I felt while trapped in this dream, overlaid by the pulsing of the music. After I woke up, during the final song, I realized I could never listen to the album again. In fact, I never listened to anything by Radiohead again (except for the one other album out of 1,001 that I've gotten so far) and will not pick them up again.

aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!

There are 4 radiohead albums on this list. I'm so glad I've had them all so never have to listen to them again!

Mass-produced music industry drivel masquerading as something "alternative". I find it deeply depressing that so many people believe that this is somehow "special" or original. It ain't. It's pretentious shite by and for people with little or no imagination. Completely underwhelming.

not ok , recommended by a depressed ex started feeling depressed myself after this

Radiohead sucks and so does this album. I swore I’d never listen to another Radiohead album after Kid A Dogshit. It’s not a top 100, they aren’t saving rock n roll. They are overrated. Ok Dogshit Computer. Zero stars if I could rate it that 1001 album worthy: No - 29/51

Stop making me listen to Thom Yorke

Ne mogu vjerovati da opet moram slušati ovo smeće od benda. There, I said it. Kad čujem taj njegov glas i te dosadne melodije, želim malo Arsena si u kavu metnuti. Ima jedna dobra stvar u ovome. Doslovno stvar, ne pjesma jel. Kad god ih moram slušati, koji god album dođe nakon, budem toliko zahvalna da mi bude predobar koliko god loš bio, pa im eto malo dignem rejting. I to je to. Jedna dobra stvar. Zapravo ima još jedna, kad ovaj album završi. Za sat jebenih vremena. I dalje ih smatram lošom i razočaravajućom verzijom Musea, što je dosta loše jer su prvi, pa bi čovjek očekivao da će biti bolji. Ne znam šta mi se mora dogoditi da zavolim ovaj bend. Ma ej, toliko mi idu na kurac da će dobiti 1 ovaj put. 1/5, 1/10.

2.5/10 Sve sto sam napisao o Radioheadu 9 albuma prije kad smo imali njihov Hail To The Thief, vrijedi i kod ovog samo sto sve manje vjerujem da ce mi ovaj bend ikada sjesti. Edit: neće, pogotovo nakon odslušanog cijelog albuma. Nijedna stvar me nije uopce odusevila, ima tu nekih par momenata od 5-10 sekundi koji mi zvuce dobro ali nikako ne mogu prozvakati te njegove "napaćene" vokalne dijelove u pjesmama. Kao da se netko prvi put nesretno zaljubio i sad nam servira tu dramu i dijareju. Na rijetke trenutke pomislim kako ce mi biti prihvatljiva pozadinska buka ali i to brzo nestane. Htio sam dati istu ocjenu kao i zadnji put jer imam osjecaj da sam slusao isti album, ali bit ce jos niza jer se jos nisam dobio od prethodnog i ovaj put me i nazivcirao.

Recognise some of the songs. Really overrated. Not a great album to me.

I'm going to immediately assign this a 1, then be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong. There is no reason why Radiohead needs to be featured so heavily in this book. This will be album #6 of theirs I've had thus far... Can't wait to hear Thom Yorke start moaning instead of singing... Ffs. Favourite songs: Karma Police, Paranoid Android Least favourite songs: Fitter Happier, Exit Music (For a Film) 1/5.... I knew it.....

Nope, I didn´t like that at all

My favorite Radiohead album. Except I don’t actually like Radiohead.

An ok album with some good songs

I don’t like electronic music. Real instruments only for me…product of my time I guess.

Sonderbarer Art Rock.

Sure, if you're having one of those days where you want to feel drugged and "think" you're hallucinating, this is the album that will give you what you want. It's a shame I listened to it on a day when I was feeling good. I'll be back for you, you little weird stuff

Highly acclaimed, but not for me. Guess I was in the mood for uptempo music, and this isn’t it.

Tem algum elemento no Radiohead, não consigo identificar qual, que me faz achar as músicas tão cansativas. Karma Police é uma das poucas deles que já gostei e hoje até ela me dá vontade de pular imediatamente. Acho chique quem ouve e gosta dessa banda mas não é pra mim mesmo

I never like how people use the word 'overrated'. Overrated should never refer to inherent quality; it's a metadiscursive term meant to situate any given piece of media in the context of how other people talk about it. For example, it wouldn't be correct to say "OK Computer is bad". However, it would be correct to say "OK Computer is one of the most overrated albums ever made".

Not my thing at all.

Vocals were difficult to understand; the sound quality had much to be desired. The write-up of this album stated it was produced mostly in their practice studio, then somewhere else said it was 80% live? I think at the end of my life I would have been 110% fine to have never heard this album, so being 1001 Albums you must hear before you die is a pretty huge S T R E T C H for this one.

I already rated this

Nothing really good or memorable. Won't listen to it again. Trying to understand who's picking these albums - they're not very good.

Sure, it's a classic and defining album but Radiohead have never been my cup of tea

Didn't really care for it.

I have no idea how this is a popular album

I hate Radiohead. They're like buying Pink Floyd on Wisb for people born in the 80s. It's airy and whiny in not a good way. I really don't get why everyone loves this album

i disliked this less than i expected, based on my previous feelings about radiohead. 1.5

Bin beim letzten Lied und bestenfalls hat es mich gelangweilt und schlimmstenfalls genervt. Wie z.B. jetzt, dieses Gejaule hält doch niemand aus. Musikalisch natürlich irgendwie okay, aber mit diesem Sänger kann ich nichts anfangen. Aber immerhin mal ein Album von Radiohead durchgehört.

boring af

Yuuuuck. Let this be the last shitty Radiohead album that I need to put up with. Pretentious poseur douchebags.

Kanker

Välinpitämättömässä taidepoppiudessaan vuoren korkuinen haaste. Minulle oli liikaa.

melodico demais

Kinda dreary sounding but did like the album cover.

The music sounds really boring somehow. Long songs with no sense of change at all. I really want to like radiohead but I can't say I do.

Too dramatic

Not my cup of tea

I didnt like it much. What mood is being evoked in me I dont know. So I dont like it much.

Meh. Didn't get on with this. In Rainbows is a better album IMHO

Den mest ointressanta vokalisten genom tiderna?
