OK Computer

J'avais déjà quelques sons de cet album mais le réécouter m'a permis d'en rajouter un. Je trouve que c'est un bon album malgré les quelques daubes qui se baladent.

barely thought about this as i listened due to how written on my brain it is. idk man it's Ok Computer, it's probably pretty good? Let Down - what a song! Lucky - very beautiful! the rest is there too! on to something less obvious i hope!

No recordaba 1997 siendo tan melancolico y triste. Supongo que el mood de este disco inspiró el mood de la juventud para inicios de los 2000. Buen disco lo seguiré escuchando, pero si me genera algo de tristeza. Si esa era la inteción lo lograron completamente.

Respect

A classic, but I listen to Radiohead to disassociate so I’m team Kid A. Electoneering an underrated banger.

Good album - somewhat ethereal sounding at times and it’s impressive to be able to do that without just sounding like white noise

though it's not my type of music...but it was great and i suck at reviews so im gonna end it here

I thought i liked it a little bit more

Still incredibly relevant in modern times

#405 / 1089 Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ✅ This is the album I learned to love in the late 90's, around the time I felt brit rock and the whole "lad movement" had run it's course, at least for me it had. I think I purchased the 'Karma Police' CD single on a whim from a mate working at a record store, but it hit me like a ton of schadenfreude bricks. The track some how felt like friend from another place. The soundscape of the album is very pleasing, songs are clean, kind of sad but also very powerful, filled with emotion and Thom's singing emphasises the feeling of vindication. Somehow it's a powerful soundtrack for the weirdoes, outcasts, nerds and the unseen. I have no explanation why I feel like this, that just is what it is. This is almost a 5/5 album, but few unnecessary tracks drag it to the verge of 4/5. The 'OKNOTOK' version of the album is 4/5, teetering towards 3/5, as it's just too long.

Raidohead bilgim sadece rainbows albümü kadar varken ok computer çok basarılıymış. İlk dinlediğimde ritimleri ve sözleri genel çerçevede bayıcı bulmuştum ama şimdi hoşlandığım kısım oldu. Albümde sevdiğim noktalar ritimlerin bir sakinliği olması ve birinin hayatındaki son şeridi izliyormuşcasına bir havası var. Gayet güzel

I have listened to this album before and it is a good one. Paranoid Android and Karma Police are definitely the most iconic songs in their library. I don't really have much to say about this album, but I do appreciate that its melancholic tone is not off-putting for my taste in music. Think Nine inch nails without the the harshness of their industrial metal sound

Really good but is it a classic?

Really good album, but I don't get why this is considered their masterpiece...I like Pablo Honey and The Bends much more.

++: Airbag, Paranoid Android, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Let Down, Fitter Happier, Electioneering, Climbing Up the Walls, No Surprises, Lucky +: Exit Music (For a Film), Karma Police, The Tourist 9,1/10

altijd een banger

Paranoid Android is the work of a group of diseased minds, and I mean that in the best way possible. The main riff is an earworm, and when the distorted guitars kick in, it's like listening to a mental breakdown. The solos draw from Joey Santiago's one-note licks, and it's all very visceral. Karma Police contains one of my favourite chord progressions, and the sonic movement throughout is a masterclass in song arrangement. The rest is pleasant enough.

Excellent shit. Feels like an album that would sound amazing in 1977, 1987, 1997, 2007, 2017, or 2027. An easy 4, maybe a 5, who could say?

Always preferred In Rainbows but this is such a great album, if not a bit too depressing at times

Amazing sound, great tracks, loses momentum towards the end.

Some tracks are great. Some are grating. It’s hit or miss for me, but the great tracks are *much* better than the best of the other Radiohead album we had.

musically defining the genre. a classic

7 GOOD

My third Radiohead album on this list (enjoyed The Bends and hated Kid A), this is apparently the album most fans of the band and critics say is their best and most influential work. Still not a fan of Thom Yorke or his vocal style, but most of the music on here was creative and isn’t dated in the least almost 30 years after its release (god, we’re old). It’s experimental while still being accessible to rock fans with more “normie” tastes like myself; I loved the layered guitars on a couple tracks. Outside of tracks 4 & 7, I thought this was a really good album. Not perfect (to me), but a solid 4/5.

Great album. High end experimental rock. The sound almost feels ahead of its time. A mix of the jazzy ambient rock sounds of heavier U2 (bullet the blue sky). Melancholy at times but heavy, busy, with lots of experimental electronic sounds.

Oh hell yes lol

I heard about this band before.. I had some big hopes for this album, it is in no way bad at all.. But I don't think it is amazing, has some good songs tho Fav songs - Let Down, Karma Police, No Surprises 4/5

When I think of the sound of Radiohead, this is probably the album that comes to mind. I've always loved the song "No Surprises," and I still turn it up and sing along whenever it comes up on the radio.

Its hard to classify Radiohead as anything particular, maybe "experimental"? This album was melancholy and thoughtful. I enjoyed it.

No one crafts dystopian, ethereal, melancholic, yet painfully human compositions quite like Radiohead. I think one of their albums definitely deserves a spot in the top 100 of all time, although I'm not sure if it should be this one. Still, it was very powerful. One composition technique I noticed that's characteristic of their music is that the bass line is often intermittent or does not arrive until late in the song, thus elevating its impact to the song when it does come in. The first track on this album is kind of what I'm talking about, and another example that I really like is "15 steps" from their album "In Rainbows."

It's a strong four for me. I feel the need to knock it down a peg for two reasons: I don't really like Yorke's voice, and Radiohead has a depressive quality that I don't enjoy. Some sad music makes me feel sad in a good way, but Radiohead usually gives my depression, depression. I know a four is pretty harsh here, because the arrangements are excellent, the production is excellent, there's a wide range of emotions, plenty of ideas... The transition from track 9 to 10 is fantastic But my heart isn't fully in it. I hear a lot of influence on the vocalist of the band Geese in the song "No Surprises"

Treba 4.2, mela jsem docela vibiky na tohle. Proste radiohead

It’s ok

Салам кампудахтер

4 very good songs, rest of them im not that depressed to like them so much, so its a four star for me.

Heard Many Times Before; 4; There's so much to listen to and unpack here, and I don't think I've given this album the attention it deserves. There's so many interesting sounds tucked away in every corner of these songs, and I really enjoy the reverb and ambiance of the guitars throughout the album. At the same time, there's still plenty of catchy hooks. Difficult to pick a favorite track, as this really does feel like an album that's best enjoyed as a whole. Favorite Track: Electioneering

sometimes i wish they didn't grow up so quickly

I mean... it's OK Computer.

i mean it’s a great album but it doesn’t matter how many times i listen to it, i still can’t get this feeling of 10/10 masterpiece top 30 album oat :( great production, great texts, “no surprises” is one of the greatest songs ever made, but i just can’t feel this album 4.5

3,6/5

Parece un futuro distopico dónde nos contralan las máquinas and i love that

Most overrated album of all time (laudatory).

You ever listen to Paranoid Android like a thousand times and notice that it really rocks out until it doesn’t? Radiohead time and time again bring the force and then snuff it out, afraid to have fun. In my old age, I’ve decided I’d rather listen to Lady Gaga. She’s not afraid to go for it and risk looking cheesy (I don’t think she does look cheesy, by the way). Other mainstream examples also apply. In sum, we all bow down to Radiohead, I get why we do and I get why we have. I understand their massive influence, yadda yadda. I’m just sick of feeling that they seem to think it’s cool to have a rock out release, but not cool enough to fully commit to it. Discuss. Also, to everyone saying this is peak Radiohead, it ain’t. Kid A brought them further. Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief are massively underrated, and In Rainbows is smooth as a baby’s butt. I still think Radiohead suppress their rockoutability on all mentioned albums though.

La verdad? Muy buen disco. Que grande los cabeza de radio.

Had already listened to this before, forgot to log it in here. I will be relistening the album. Pretty cool.

Cool vibe. I'll rock out to then again.

Airbag is a tune

Call me unsophisticated, but I prefer The Bends. It's still a bloody good album, though.

Karma Police is probably my favourite Radiohead song. I liked this album the most so far of all the Radiohead albums, cause I really like their grunge sound. Solid Album, tons of solid tunes.

I thought this was a great album. Not my favorite by Radiohead, that award belongs to In Rainbows. It’s funny how much more I appreciate this album more now that I’ve listened to a bunch from this list. I really appreciate how Radiohead can really put a collection of songs together.

I got a fevah and the only curah is moah plaintive falsettah!!

Great album, heard most of the songs before but always a good refresher

Review - not as good as Kid A, but a great modern(ish) prog album Score - 9/10 Need to listen? YES

Dere tror kanskje at dette er blant mine favorittskiver, men det stemmer ikke. Innflytelsen er ikke til å undervurdere, men statusen som 90-tallets magnum opus kan jeg kun backe intellektuelt, ikke med følelsene. Den er bra. Sannsynligvis veldig bra. Men det er ikke skiva som gjorde meg til et radiohead. Ca. alle andre skivene deres har vokst med meg og forandret seg. OK Computer er fortsatt omtrent samme skiva som jeg hørte i typ 2011. Jeg er veldig glad i enkeltspor, kan ikke peke på noen spesielle svakheter, men har aldri elsket skiva. Det føles som en gitt størrelse, som egentlig er veldig rart å si, med tanke på hvor mye som faktisk foregår på skiva -- i texturer, lyrikk, og melodiske progressjoner. Hvem vet.

Det er bra, men har aldri truffet meg så hardt som den virker å treffe andre. Nå har jeg ikke hørt den ordentlig på lenge og hadde egentlig glemt hvor mye Muse og Radiohead ligner.

better every time I listen to it. Find the themes do get old

I now understand why my angsty high school girlfriend had this album cover as a poster in her bedroom

Ok, so it is really good actually

Well! Never listened to any Radiohead aside from Patrice O' Neal singing Creep. I knew this was a biggie though. I don't know if I should be shocked or not, but that was great and I really liked it. I'm not sure if I can give it the full 5 because Electioneering and Climbing Up the Walls kinda let me down. They weren't bad, but they were just okay on an album full of absolutely stellar music. I guess you need the discord of Climbing Up the Walls for No Surprises to hit harder, so I can give that one a pass but Electioneering feels like it wanted to be bluesier but didn't quite get there through the alt rock vibe. Hmm. 10 tracks of stupid good music and 2 just average tracks... I guess I gave Electric Ladyland a 4 for the same reason so, I did love it, but 4.

A little whiny, but a good album. If I really like Radiohead, I would probably love this album.

Ok je dois me rendre à l'évidence : pour le coup, c'était un foutu bon album.

Kelpo levy ja radioheadin omaperäinen saundi on aina ollut omaan korvaan mieluisa

Aika vähän tullu radiopäätä kuunneltua, mutta tässähän oli monta mukavaa kappaletta. Pari vähän huonompaa mutta paremmalle puoliskolle kääntyy arvosana!

Ohan tää hyvä ja aikalaismusiikista semmonen oman polkunsa tallaaja. Sinänsä kuitenkin tän artistin kataloogista omaan mieleen on pari muuta enempi, ettei ihan pysty venyyn täysiin. Ehkä se on kuitenkin kun tässon sama supermelankolinen taso koko reikäleivän mitalta ilman, että on niitä parin seuraavan levyn taidetrippiä, niin se sit jää uupuun. Otetaan siis taas neloinen pistepussista.

Best Songs: The Tourist Electioneering

Very cool album

Some people call this album the "Dark Side Of The Moon of the 90s". Quite a loaded statement, and I don't quite agree. Still, there's quite a lot of good songs on this, but a few mediocre ones as well that drags down the overall impression. The standouts are 'Paranoid Android', 'Let Down', 'Karma Police', and 'No Surprises', with 'Let Down' being my favourite one on this record. That's quite many of their hits already being on one record, which is impressive! I think there is enough variety here to make it really interesting, but when I listen through it all there are some songs that I just want to skip past. Like 'Airbag', 'Exit Music (For a Film)', and 'Fitter Happier' to name a few. I think I've grown to accept some weaker songs as well from having heard this album quite a few times. But in the end I can't wholeheartedly give this a 5, it'll have to be strong 4 for me. Probably their best album along with The Bends.

It’s really good but not my favorite Radiohead album

Fantastic album, it’s Radiohead of course, a tier

Not their best album

I know this album is considered one of the greatest of all time, but it’s never fully clicked for me. I think part of it is my struggle with Thom Yorke’s vocals. There’s emotion there, but it doesn’t always reach me. The music pulls me in, but the vocals keep me at a distance and emotionally disconnected. It’s one of those albums I respect more than I actually connect with.

I like it now, it's still too pretentious.

This album is definitely outside of my comfort zone. I typically don't love listening to more melancholy songs because music really affects me emotionally and I don't like being bummed out (haha). I think my favorite song was Subterranean Homesick Alien. I also really enjoyed the first part of Paranoid Android. I think I need to give this one another listen in the future and pay more attention to the back half. On this first listen, I'd give a 3.5/5.

I liked it. Stand out song is karma police which is just such a good song. 7/10

They drew influence from some of the greats like Can and REM and created something hugely influential for the bands to come. Back in my youth when this came out I considered it too "whiny" but as I have grown and come to appreciate art more and my tastes have expanded I can see how great this album is. I have it on vinyl and I love how it feels like 4 distinct parts, the sequencing is fantastic. Bass provides great grooves throughout and the electronic fills sound awesome, the production is top notch.

An absolutely perfect record by any measure, just one that I only have so much of an attachment to. 4/5

I don’t think this album is the greatest thing to ever exist like some people think. It’s certainly full of memorable songs and interesting production. But it’s not an album for all seasons. This is an album for when you are depressed and anxious, but doesn’t feel like the kind of thing I would want to listen to when I’m having a great day. I’ll put it on the list to listen to again when the correct circumstances hit though.

Another one I'm already very familiar with. Song by song: Airbag: 4.5 Paranoid Android: 5 Subter. Homesick Alien: 5 Exit Music: 5 Let Down: 3.5 Karma Police: 4 <Fitter Happier> Electioneering: 4 Climbing Up the Walls: 3.5 No Surprises: 4 Lucky: 4 The Tourist: 3 Drags a tiny bit at the end, but those first tracks are killer.

I said a lot about this band in my previous Radiohead review. It was one of those where I decided to listen to multiple albums to get a feel of the band. That previous feel was a bit disappointed. I do have to say for my second listen of OK Computer, I enjoyed it a lot more. My new complaint with Radiohead is I feel this band has enough talent to do so much more. I enjoy OK Computer, but I feel there could be more to it. The tracks are good without fully understanding the concept, but I feel they stop short of really getting technical. And maybe that was the bands intent, I guess coming from a prog head, I want it on a grander scale! Still a good 3.5 star for me, but for this list I will give it four!

Very late 90s Forgot most of these, granted I was 3 when this came out but still

Really strong concept-like album. Radiohead is cooler than all of us.

Fucking hell this is melancholic. Very evocative album, but the singing voice irked me a bit too much to give it a perfect score. Incredibly high highs, though.

Once again it was very refreshing to hear pop rock music done in such a great experimental way. I can’t believe I never got to hear anything after their first album so getting a couple of albums on this list so far has been a bit of a revelation. I’m pretty keen to dig into the rest of their discography!

Smukt album

I think it was rầu rĩ. I was familiar with some of the songs in the album, but when listening to it as a whole, it resonated a bit more. I like "Fitter Happier" as it poses questions I'm dealing with right now.

radohead

Great but some songs are not my taste.

Bra. 3 låtar rakt in på lista :) 4/5

The critically acclaimed and beloved albums are often the most difficult to rate. The question becomes rating based on popularity or rating based on feel - like how I rate the other albums. I think I will give this one a 4. I love Exit Music. I love Let Down. So why not.

Ok Computer, what some people deem as the greatest album ever made. There is so much that has been said about this project in the nearly 30 years since its' release, all of which has aged beautifully in that time being and still holds to be a very relevant piece of media that heavily influences nearly every Alternative act today. Despite all that being said, I don't think this album is as good as a lot of people make it out to be. I think it will surprise many people but I have never been huge on a few of the tracks here, mainly Electioneering and Climbing Up the Walls but also Airbag, Paranoid Android, and Subterranean Homesick Alien. I definitely still can not understand Electioneering and Climbing Up the Walls and I would call them misses for Radiohead. The tracks at the beginning just never grab me and it is usually when Exit Music comes on when I am finally locked into this album. Speaking of Exit Music, I recently just learned that Exit Music (For a Film) was originally recorded and made for the 1996 Romeo & Juliet movie and I think the way it was able to weave itself into the tracklist is nothing short of miraculous. The rest of the tracklist really needs to sort of commentary because how can I begin to explain the greatness of tracks like Let Down, Karma Police, No Surprises, or Lucky? You just can't man. I appreciate the subtext scattered all over this album about the overtaking of technology in our lives and just how those themes are weaved in both lyrically and through the production. Ok Computer is a great album, that is undeniable, but I just don't think it is one of the greatest albums ever made. I have never seen it as such even after years of listening to Radiohead and all the other music I have digested. There are better examples of this album in so many other places and Ok Computer is just a nice meeting ground of a lot of great ideas. Fight me.

Groundbreaking. I didn’t like it when it came out but over a few listens I learned to appreciate it.

liked this more than Kid A but overall was too moody/down for me to love

Great album!

Not listened to for a long time and was great to revisit

Colossal album. If I'm knocking a point off for Prince then I'm also knocking a point off for Radiohead for Palestine.

4 four stars in a row❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️RGP you are really spoiling us…Tom.

Fantastic album, though not something I could see myself revisiting too many times, just because the music is not quite my taste, but that doesn't mean I can't acknowledge that it's well made. The album expertly rides the edge between having a cohesive sound whilst not sounding all the same throughout. "Paranoid Android", "Karma Police", and "No Surprises" are all stand outs.

Técnicas mixtas, letras que resuenan con el mundo actual cual si hubieran visto lo que se venía con mucha claridad o el mundo siempre fue y será una porquería, ya no sé

The fact that this isn't my favourite album of theirs speaks volumes on the quality of their releases. Radiohead deserve all the praise, truly as good as they say. Not huge on every song on the album but it makes a great whole. Also get a "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" reference in here.

Mahtava levy

#318/1001. Finally a record whose existence in this list is not questioned, right? Although this was more or less a soundtrack of my summer -97, it turns out I had forgotten quite many of the songs in it. But then again the classics remain classics. A bit more conventional and rock'n' rolly than I remembered, I prefer the more electronic Radiohead around Kid A / Amnesiac / Hail to Thief / In Rainbows. But they don't contain masterpieces such as Paranoid Android.

Es un álbum muy estético, melancólico pero con las raíces puras de la banda

Listening whilst playing as Dolny Kubin again. Radiohead isn't really my genre of music, but you can't deny that their works stand out and are special. Of course I had heard No Suprises & Let Down before, but I also found that I enjoyed Karma Police, Airbag & Lucky. I'm sure there will be another Radiohead album on this list. I'll give it a 4/5 because i probably wouldn't listen to a lot of the songs again, too angsty, but the highs are musical masterpieces.

Its a 4

Best Song: Let Down Worst Song: Fitter Happier

Like every Radiohead album after their debut, this is a very good album. For me though, it doesn't reach the heights of the albums either side of it. The Bends and Kid A are masterpieces. OK Computer is just a strong album.

Buen álbum para días grises y lluviosos

I love this album!! It is really a roller coaster, I can dance, I can cry, I can laugh!!

it was really good, but some of the songs sounded the same to me. 3 standout tracks in Karma Police, No Surprises, and The Tourist

Good album. Solid alternative rock, there's a reason it's a classic.

20 years ago this would have been a 5... The older I get the more Thom Yorke's voice annoys me.

хороший! в отсутствие подготовки показалось что все песни одинаковые, надо продолжать слушать

Definitely a classic album, somehow feels both modern and older. Not something that I would have on repeat, but something I come back to now and again.

Pink Floyd of 21st century. I’m surprised how much of this reminded me of Coldplay & Arcade Fire. Always thought Radiohead would be more singular. Another example of “influential” not equating to “great”

airbag's baseline rocked Exit music (for a film) let down Karma Police electioneering climbing up the walls no surprises The tourist

Great sad boy album 👦🏼 (this emoji but sad) (this emoji looks like my bf)

instrumental sehr stark.

Pretty depressing. Great bangers

this is a such a good album going into this album i thought it was gonna be shit cause i didnt like the last one but i was so wrong this was so much better it shows a mixture of rock and calmness and my fav song out of these is no surpises so iconic and just beautiful starts off with such calming beats and slowly progresses into rock this is amzing i loved this album let down was also one of my favourites overall rating 4.6/5 best album so far

this album was very complicated. i listened to it with an open mind like jerry said and every song except the last one was good. instead of the last song being called the traitor it should be called listening to what hell sounds like for five minites straight. my favourite was the alien one and let down

A British boy once spent an hour mansplaining this album to me and it’s left a bitter taste in my mouth. I get it, it’s a car crash. Why are you still talking? Not my favorite Radiohead album but good, dreamy.

I think I stopped listening to Radiohead around this time. Up til then, my musical taste was dictated by my older brother, and this album didn’t sound enough like Creep, so I wasn’t interested. 13 year old me was wrong.

Already listened good alvum

I can hear the direct correlation between this and it's predecessor The Bends but find it doesn't stand repeated listening as it starts to sound a little earnest. Good but not great

Computer sagt: ist gut

Back to back Radiohead….interesting. Love this one too

I've never been a huge Radiohead fan because the songs are typically too sad for me. But I can't deny how listening to this whole album in one sitting made me feel. So many beautiful and emotional songs make a really powerful record.

I really liked this album! I had heard of it, but never sat down to listen to the whole thing until very recently, when I was recommended it. It was really fun to see that it was the first album on the list! I still plan to sit with the lyrics and do a listen-through like that, but I'm already planning to add it to my rotation as we head into the warmer seasons.

Granted I am a huge Radiohead fan. This is probably my 6th favourite album of theirs (mainly because of how overplayed it became). However it's still a masterpiece and Paranoid Android just may be the greatest song of all time.

found a few new ones, sad as always

luv radiohead

Det e jo fette bra, men æ kjede mæ litt.

Gran disco. Disfrutable de inicio a fin y con muchas cosas para analizar a simple vista como los grandes arreglos de cuerdas y de elementos orquestales o los cambios de estilo constantes dentro de pistas como Karma Police (jooooya) o Paranoid Android. Tiene un sonido y estilo muy único gracias a la gran fusión de elementos encima de los instrumentos clásicos del género como elementos corales, sintetizadores, pianos, sonidos podría llamarle cinematográficos y el uso del reverb que queda increíble. Por otro lado, me gustaría destacar el trabajo conceptual del disco entero hablando de temas de alguna manera distópicos pero que al final podeos relacionar con el hoy. Además, tiene un excelente trabajo performativo e interpretativo. Gran disco.

4 - My relationship with Radiohead is that I thought Creep was just okay and Karma Police bored me when I first saw the video. Then I would hear bits of pieces from albums like "In Rainbows" that sounded no better. At some point when you could have custom ringtones for different people, someone asked me to use "Paranoid Android" and I liked it a lot more than I expected, but I still didn't really dig further. I was just convinced that they weren't really for me.Slowly, I've heard songs in Instagram posts or musician breakdowns of particular songs that have lead me to think I need to do a deep dive. Thankfully this challenge has most of their discography, so I'll get my chance. Having listened, we're off to a good start. I liked it a good bit.

It's a really solid album but slightly over hyped in my opinion. Think my expectations were too high but I can't really fault it.

Still really good -

Phenomenal album

Unpopular opinion: I like The Bends better. Still, a great album, if maybe just a bit sluggish in places.

made me miss her with Exit Music, Let Down, and Karma Police all in a roll. Good album with popular hits but not that great to use as a lock in type of album.

I've never really been hugely into Radiohead, I mean obviously I've known of them and some of their tracks are pretty unavoidable. But I've never really listened to them specifically or an entire album for that matter. I like this one. It's a little "sad boy" heavy at times but I think I'll return to this and give it more of the time it probably deserves to unfold sometime in the future Standouts Exit Music (For A Film) Karma Police No Surprises 4/5

Is this list trying to make me spiral??? Yeah another v good album, it’s a groundbreaker, everyone knows it, its very very good. Its quite depressing, it’s bleak, but there’s something in the music that holds you afloat. On this listen I’ve changed my mind and now prefer this to Kid A. 4.5/5.0 Best Song: Exit Music

3.8

A magnificently somber album that has one of the saddest songs within. This album has such an unique sound to it that is hard to criticize yet, like many others, there are still some songs that don’t quite reach the same level as the others.

What a classic. Happy days.

Muse le debe la vida a este disco

All these years later, this still sounds like the future. The themes of technology and its impact on the human experience are no less relevant today; the paranoia and claustrophobia has only gotten worse. The music is just as evocative, with a mostly familiar take on alternative rock layered with unique elements. The beautiful melody of "Let Down" and the solemn piano of "Karma Police" are at once comforting and distressing. While this coldness is what gives the album its impact, songs like "Paranoid Android" - while impressive in its format and complexity - can keep me at arm's length rather than inviting me in. Still, there's something so satisfying about the guitar tones and all the little details, not to mention the interplay between the louder songs and solemn ones, that makes coming back to it worthwhile.

Opening track is so cool. Feels like Radiohead. Paranoid android I get some PT vibes, minus the vocals. What a cool song, so many vibe changes, chords, kinda proggy, banger. Subterranean alien, so cool, wavey and psychedelic. Exit music - dark, melancholic, optimistic. Builds and builds, chills! Let down - a bit more forgettable, kinda poppy with some math rock elements. Karma Police the classic - enjoyed it even more in the context of the album. Fitter happier a weird interlude. Electioneering also interesting, cowbell. Climbing up the walls another forgettable one. No surprises another chill rock classic, mellow as it gets. Lucky also really good - this subtle western vibe, sneaky and mysterious, then kinda gospels?? Really cool. Closes out with the tourist, a slow and pretty song. Enjoyed it more than I was expecting, a solid 4.25/5

Obviously they’re good, but I’m sure there’s an emperor’s new clothes situation happening with how good everyone says they are.

Vägev album, mul hakkas täitsa kahju, et pole enne seda kuulanud. Täis originaalseid ideid ning osavat laulmist (millest Bono vaid unistaks). Selline solid 4.2/5

Not a huge Radiohead fan, but this album is worth appreciating.

All of the album, in its entirely, is incredible! The first half is amazing, the second half it slows down but it keeps you engaged. It's noisy, it's emotional and will get you hooked from beginning to end.

ya lo he escuchado :-) me gustó muchi

Another old favourite, although it’s been a long time since I listened in full! Favourite track: another tough choice, but I do love Karma Police.

it's good, but not the masterpiece everyone considers it to be

Listened 09/fev/26 Some very good songs but doesn't really grip me that much as a whole

good album but not as good as ppl make it up to be,too many skips tbh

"Unconventionality talented" is my two word review My connection to their sound varies more with mood than perhaps any other artist. Eg: I started listening to this album in the car on the way to work and largely found it too whiny to connect with ....and then a second listen at the end of the day when in a more reflective mood left me gobsmacked several times. Unconventional 4 stars, would revisit album in its entirely again.

Love this album, not their best but still strong

vibes. cool atmosphere.

It was an OK album, definitely overrated in my opinion though, some good song on there and some others that didnt really do it for me, pretty slow vibe, I guess its one of those one where you have to listen to it a few time to really get what everyone one is talking about. 7/10 for me and im being generous!

Faktisk mid tier Radiohead for min del. Men fremdeles bra.

I’ve heard a bit of Radiohead. The bends is a great album. A few of their other songs are great as well. I’ve heard a couple of the songs on this album, it should be good. Airbag: 7.2/10 The mix is fucking spot on. Everything sounds great. Nice guitar work. Great start to an album. Paranoid Android: 6.6/10 Has that off-kilter Radiohead sound to it. The bridge is fantastic, the riff is great. Fees like about 5 songs in one. Subterranean Homesick Alien: 6.2/10 Great intro sound. Exit Music (for a film): 6/10 Simple acoustic song. Let Down: 7/10 Sorrowful. Iconic. Has an American Football vibe to it. Karma Police: 10/10 Fantastic. Bloody. Song. Fitter Happier: filler Electioneering: 6.2/10 Nice rocker. Climbing up the Walls: 6/10 No Surprises: 8.5/10 Reminds me of House M.D. fantastic song with so much emotion. Lucky: 6.3/10 Groovy. The Tourist: 6.4/10 Relaxed and calm way to end one hell of an album.

Second time around, I get the hype. The songs' lyrics and atmosphere are reminiscent of these modern times. It's kind of surprising how we're living in a dystopia in the big 26. Thom seems disappointed and isolated with the world around him, I can't help but feel the same when listening to this too.

It was .. OK

Ziemlich gut, aber nicht atemberaubend :/

Ok, computer

Never really got into Radiohead even though they seem right up my alley. The album definitely deserves its popularity, its really solid. The run of the last five tracks were my fave songs. 7.6/10

Iconic album enjoyable

Radiohead was the inspiration of my favorite 'Развлечение' album by Valetnin Strykalo. I appreciate the impact of this album and even like it at some point, but i don't really feel the vibe at this point of life.

First time listened in a while. Felt abit dated and 90s at times, but lots of good tracks, can see how it influenced a lot of bands to come after. Favourite songs were the more despressing ones lol (Let Down, Exit Music). Thom's voice got abit annoying at times

Amazing, it took me years to get into. So many songs that are a great listen.

Enjoyed, classic album.

I like this album a lot, but not as much I feel like I’m supposed to.

spacey, whiny, rainy

Classic. Not a consistent asI remembered

Banger

Parfait pour Clara qui est malade

Still my favourite Radiohead album after all these yearrs. Paranoid Android, Karma Police, No Surprises and The Tourist are all in my RH Top 10, and the whole thing is a really enjoyable listen. Yes, they're moody and the feeling of alienation and disconnect is all-encompassing, but really, what do you expect? Happy Talky Talky, Happy Talk?

This is one of their better albums, most of the songs are great!

Oh I am ready for this! Love Radiohead and this album, but actually unsure if this will reach the 4% club of 5* as a whole package. It’s been a while. Let’s see! I mean it is an amazing album with SO many absolutely fantastic songs. But it is with a heavy heart that it only gets 4.5* because my criteria for 5* is every singer landing and being solid. There are just a few on here that miss the mark, but my god, what an album still!

Man it took me about 5 listens to this to decide how I felt about it. There's no doubt this is Radiohead's best work; it's not perfect (it is Radiohead after all), but this album definitely gelled with me the most. I may also mention at this point that I fucking hate Radiohead except for In Rainbows - which also begs the next question, is this better than In Rainbows? Absolutely. I'm not going to go into vivid detail in this review as this is probably one of the most overanalysed and overrated albums ever. This shit definitely isn't one of the best albums of all time, but it's a pretty fucking good one. Maybe it would be if I wasn't a biased Radiohead hater. Anyways, yeah this is good, is it a 5? Probably just shy of it. This is definitely the only Radiohead album I've listened to so far (1 to go!!) that every song is at least OKAY on, rather than 9 dogshit songs, 1 okay song, and 1 good song. In fact, I'd say pretty much everything on this thing is good.

Is great but depressing so acc didn’t listen!!!!

Fuckin love this album bro

Not bad aye

LOVE. let down got me thru one of the toughest times in my life. wish exit music was the closer tho i always thought the placement was odd

instrumentally so impressive

Goated

I am pretty sure i have listened to this album a couple times before but can't really remember it. Pretty muhc has that classic Radiohead sound that I think most summarizes them. Cool electronic sounds with a unique singer and a mix of heavy synth songs and some slower rock type songs. Really liked Subterranean Homesick Alien. Fitter Happier was really strange with a speak and spell talking to me. Rest of album was really good

Genuinely good, dont know why i had mediocre expectations... i think i confused with with Pablo. Climbing up the walls Lucky Good guitar and vocals

Iconic album. This would be the kind of album you would want to bleed out to. Maybe I’m biased but after exit music , everything was taken to a different level. Putting exit music and let down right after it is soooo good. I actually like the addition of fitter happier. Electioneering is a very different vibe from the rest of the album, kind of like organized chaos in a sort of way. Climbing up the walls is so loser-in-the-corner vibe but I like it. Obviously love no surprises. Lucky is pretty good actually. Tourist is the calm after the storm, very nice ending to such a powerful album.

The perfect midpoint between the traditional and the experimental

Alternative rock, art rock.

Decent album, definitely pushes off key switches that defy what you would normally expect in a melody. This does a good job of keeping the album from sounding formulaic. Overall a good album, it’s not necessarily exactly up my wheelhouse but you can tell it’s a well made album. There are some obvious highlights like karma police. Fitter happier is horrendous. No surprises is a well made song.

Still great

Really interesting album, very simple and stripped back but moody and broody. Loved it

Great record - don't think it's necessarily a step up on The Bends, but it's definitely a move away from britpop inspired songwriting into something potentially more interesting

Very good listening t to this again last night, not played it for years, so good, Thom Yorke’s vocal so cool…

Pretty darn good just a radiohead album, but i knew some!

Je suis au 3/4 de l’album. J’ai tout adoré dans ce projet… autant la musique que la cover et les titres de chaque chanson. La composition est extraordinaire. C’est tellement riche et diversifié. Je pense qu’on ne se rend pas compte des détails de la production. Il y a tellement d’éléments qui pourraient ne pas aller ensemble mais c’est parfaitement bien assembler. J’aime le fait que la cover soit aussi expérimentale. on ne voit pas le visage des membres du groupe et c’est très ! - on n’est pas influencé par le charisme potentiel du chanteur mais de l’ambiance proposé. En tant que jeune artiste, ça m’a tout de suite parlé et influencé. Je le réécouterai…

sehr gut

Okay, not the best vocalist but such a good album. I'd forgotten how much Climbing Up These Walls reminded me of the Comsat Angels

Imean it's a really nice album but still im not sure i would give it 5 stars.

This is the third Radiohead album I've generated - and the first I've enjoyed! Was it 5 star amazing? No. But it was enjoyable. Definitely overhyped 4 ⭐️

hauntingly beutiful

This is a great album, but buddy needs to learn how to enunciate better.

I've never heard of these guys, but they kinda sound like a grimier version of Coldplay... like a garage band version, maybe? It's a little too messy for me sometimes. Like during "Paranoid Android" I turned it up when he was singing the part about how God loves his children because it's such a beautiful message, but then the whole band goes crazy on their instruments and I couldn't get back to the speaker to turn it down fast enough. I hate when I get tricked like that! Can you imagine? In all seriousness, I've spent a disappointingly inadequate amount of time with the Radiohead catalog, though I do feel like I have working knowledge of the major albums. I'll blame it on growing up in the CD era when music purchases seemed like big choices and by the time I had a "fast" DSL internet connection to participate in file sharing, Radiohead wasn't Nu Metal or Post Hardcore enough for me to bother with. C'est la vie. Compared to the darker/sleepier shoegaze motifs of The Bends, OK Computer has a little more ethereal sparkle and feels much more expansive. It's still plenty shoegazey, but not quite as stuck as The Bends felt. If The Bends felt like depression, OK Computer just feels like winter. It's more difficult to compare this to Pablo Honey because they are so vastly different in approach. Pablo Honey is a good album, but the worst Radiohead album. Comparing to later works seems wrong, so I'll save it for when I review those albums. Overall, I'd grade this Computer better than OK. A solid output to established Radiohead as a band on the avant-edge of rock & roll. It's not 100% for me, but it's so so close.

8/10

If overdosing was a movie, this would be it's soundtrack.

Klassiker, men litt for mange anonyme spor.

I know some of the songs here but I'll try listening to all of it. 9/10. Favorites Climbing up the walls, Let Down, No Surprises.

Holds together well. Sombre, thoughtful but not overly morose. Some Velvet underground influences with careful use of xylehlphone.

4 1/2. So close to a perfect album.

3.5

ive listened to this a while ago i think in total 3 times its a great fun album with my favs being Electioneering and Let Down :> love the way everything goes together and the themes too and the weird robotic interlude

This is the type of album you listen to when you need to feel something

Well, apparently an album 4 years before Amnesiac. It's a bit more light and friendly feeling. If i could rate again i'd give Amnesiac a 3☆ instead, cause this one is more on the 3.5/4☆ side. And i somehow did know about 'No Surprises'.

From the get go we start with the first track “Airbag” the sounds of this song bring a dystopian and dark feeling the lyrics along also mention war and heroism , though this song touches on how car crashes are life threats and “airbag” is what saves lives . The album explores many themes and elements from self reflection to political instability my favorite track is “climbing up the walls” track 9 this is said to be the scariest song on the album but to me it felt raw and real battling yourself sounds like climbing up the walls neutral and hunting. The album ends with track 12 “the tourist” which felt like a perfect ending to this album. The song talks about slowing down and enjoying what’s in front of you the band even goes as far as calling people who rush idiots but to me this felt like another way of saying slow down and really digest this album what you just heard. The song ends with a chime signaling the end of the album. I can see why this album is such a staple in today’s music industry, it brought feeling I never thought could be translated into a song.

It was pretty good I liked most of the songs and it was nice to hear some that weren’t that popular found a new song I love!

iwl I'm writing my essay while listening to this so I'm not giving it my full attention but I'm loving the instrumentals and I like Yorke's voice here whereas I've found him quite whiny before.

I enjoyed this, but didn't love it

Radiohead might be the #1 artist I've tried many times to get into but I just can't love, BUT this album was pretty sick even if it doesn't 100% crunch with me 8.4/10

Chill album that sits above the slew of mediocre albums on this list. 8 digital blacks out of 10 ziwards

4+ Exit music (for a film) Let down Karma Police Climbing up the walls No surprises The Tourist

Incroyable

A los 28, ya casi no aguanto partes de este album. Fuera de los claros méritos musicales, en serio siento que el zionismo liberal de Yorke y Greenwood los ha vuelto insoportables.

Not my fav but electioneering is the best Radiohead song. Lucky and karma police are also great on this album.

camarón mi maquinón

I want to listen to this more

Really enjoy this album just not as much as The Bends

Fave: Exit Music (for a film), No Surprised I like some songs by radiohead, but i can’t stand the whole album i’m sorry

ok

Huge sounds, sad noise. Recognised a few songs. Top song: Lucky.

How can an album be this good and STILL be overrated? I want to find the groundbreaking hook here, but I can't. It's a great album. I could listen to it back to back and still enjoy it and even find new things, but it's not a 5. It's a combination of Sashing Pumpkins, Morrissey, and Oasis. AND it's not even their best album.

I knew a lot of their songs and didn't know they were this band

Es ist perfekt wenn man abends nach einen harten Tag einfach im Bett liegt und mit Kopfhörern die Decke anstarrt. Wenn man Komfort in einem Album braucht, wenn man verstanden werden will und verloren ist.

Can’t believe I’ve never listened to this album before

such a good album i like listening to it as a whole i’ve only ever heard a few songs

Genuinely pretty. I enjoyed my time listening to this.

Supposedly this album has been very prophetic in its futuristic subject matter. If only the singer would enunciate. Pet theory: the songs that became a radio hit are the ones where he is actually intelligible. The most reluctant four I'll give because it is genuinely very pretty and layered but damn it Tom Yorke, open your mouth throughout all of the sentence please.

AWESOME. LOVE!

My favourite Radiohead album.

one of those albums that can sound different based on mood. Era defining album.

I still don't know that I get Radiohead but I liked this one I suppose

great album, trippy interludes, great from top to bottom

This has been one of my favorites for a while. Not my favorite Radiohead record but still solid nonetheless.

I can see myself coming back to this album and giving it a relisten, as it truly is unique. Didn’t wow me fully on first listen though.

Definitely better than I expected, because I don't like Radiohead. There are a few great songs here, some that are listenable and some that are insufferable. The problem I have with it is that by the end, I thought that every song had the same vocal lines and ending the album with an incredibly boring song wasn't a great idea. Still, I can see that this is a very influential album, I can see that Muse (a band I like) "stole" a lot from here. When the songs are good, they're great. Karma Police and Paranoid Android are incredible. All in all, a 3.5 album for me.

GETTING CAUGHT UP! really not the biggest Radiohead guy but you can't deny the significance of this album like almost every song has been memefied or used in some legendary movie scene so I can't fight it too much. I've always loved No Surprises but I can't listen to it too much or I won't make it out alive

best album so far

Still one of the best bands to take a reflective nap to .

It's a classic, there are some songs in here that I really like, and karma police is the first real song that I am learning to play on my bass, but just personally it does not work that much as it does to other people. Still very good though

It is a fine album. The highs are really high but a bit too much filler to warrant 5*

I was always astounded by the hype around this album. I feel like it was important for me when I was around 15, but now I rarely feel the need to put it on (which is the case for a lot of albums on this list). Nevertheless, I don't hate it, it's pure nostalgia for me. 3.5/5 rounded up Fav songs: Paranoid Android, Fitter Happier, No Surprises

Radiohead is weird for me. 2/3 of their stuff is just Pumpkin Smashing noise and 1/3 is the most beautiful heartbreaking music ever

Really good. 4.49 stars

4 stars mostly because it features a great highway interchange of Hartford, Connecticut on the cover.

Hyvä levy kuten odottaa saattoi. 3,5/4.

Nice good Radiohead

Super-weird that this album was pretty much unknown to me, despite how hyped it is and was. Probably only heard 1 or 2 tracks before this. Listened twice in hopes of seeing what made it so special. Almost got there. The problem with this challenge is that listening to anything once is rarely conducive to appreciate it.

i mean, it's OK Computer. You asked anyone on the internet what the best album of all time was from 1998-2014 and you'd get four answers; dark side of the moon, abbey road, in the court of the crimson king, and if they were under 35 - OK Computer. I've listened to this album countless times, it was a major high school album for me. I hadn't listened to it since 2023, aside from the random plays of Let Down and Electioneering that show up in my last.fm profile. Getting to re-listen to it for the purposes of this game (this is no fucking game to me) was a treat. Throw on the first track Airbag, fit like an old sweater. Ran through the album twice. Still thinking "oh, this is one of the best albums of the decade." But then I thought about what my other favorite albums of the decade were and I realized that OK Computer actually isn't one of my favorite albums of the decade even though it's essentially canonized as one of the best. There is a slight difference between "favorite" and "best", to which I explain by saying the Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty is one of my favorites of the decade...but it's certainly not better, in like a historical sense than OK Computer. OK Computer is genuinely seismic in tone, sound, lyrical content, and overall craftsmanship. Its adoration is maybe, perhaps slightly, a touch overblown but I think about listening to a song like Paranoid Android in 1997 - the digital age is ascending. TIME Magazine is writing on how the internet will dramatically change our lives for the better, Tony Blair's awful visage is doing its best to contort into a smile while his American counterpart makes the neoliberal fire sale look easy, this company called AOL keeps sending you CDs in the mail because you hit a checkmark on some obscure survey you filled out nine months prior. There's a lot of optimism around this new technology which presently seems expensive and obscure but capital F-uturistic. And here comes this mopey British guy whose album is framed around technology and has the gob to suggest that technology not only won't fix the world, it'll actually exacerbate its problems. It's little wonder its pessimism resonated with the miserable music journalists and disenchanted Gen X'ers of the time and it's unsurprising that it holds cache to today. The iciness of a song like Electioneering, one of the more explicitly political and (imo) most underrated songs on the album, is almost entirely borne out of turn-of-the-century angst over the failure of British Labour project. That said, I do find Thom Yorke increasingly unbearable. Part of this is his politics and how he presents himself. He's such a fucking pariah. And this weepiness is all over OK Computer. It has to be, right? One song I've unfortunately never been able to enjoy is Karma Police. This is mostly because it's used as repeated punchline in an old DERRICKCOMEDY sketch that I watched well before I listened to OK Computer. In the sketch, the aggrieved Kevin uses the song to melodramatically drive home how "hurt" he is over his girlfriend cheating on him. The sketch's decision to use the song is clever; Karma Police, like their previous major hit Creep, is vindictive and it prostrates itself far too quickly - taking a vulnerable position in order to be crueler when it's inevitably forgiven. I really don't like that aspect of Thom Yorke and it shakes out throughout a good chunk of OK Computer. You hear it on Subterranean Homesick Alien and No Surprises too. The songs themselves are really strong, they are incredible tonal achievements but the more time The Culture has me spend with Yorke defending playing in Tel Aviv at length, the less grace I'm willing to grant him for his annoying martyrdom. Climb off your cross, those aren't even nails, they're thumbtacks! Favorite Tracks: Let Down, Electioneering, Paranoid Android, No Surprises associated DERRICKCOMEDY sketch: https://youtu.be/Rcx4_CszaDI?si=J2xgOY_EKGzrieFy

For a while I have neglected the majority of Radiohead's discography (other than Pablo Honey, strangely?), mostly because of the association the band has with pretentious mansplaining pricks. However, I've overcome my stubbornness as I've matured and I can say that this album is actually something I enjoy. It's definitely something I would've enjoyed more in my depressive stoner era, but I appreciate the whole atmosphere. Standout songs for me: - Subterranean Homesick Alien - Let Down - The Tourist Don't think I'll relisten to most of it anytime soon because the album is too relevant to modern society and it'll only make me sad. Great album though!

I think a downside of this 1001 project is that I’m prepared to give a bit more time to albums I think I should like. Or albums from which I like some tracks but don’t know the rest. Maybe it should be limited to maximum of 2 listens. Because generally by the time I've got to a 4th or even 3rd listen, any album is going to have grown on me (with a few exceptions). 

 Yes I do like this. It’s that sort of miserable navel gazing album I’d have played to death in my student days at 2am when I’d tried to get off with someone down Pickwicks and failed (yet again). For the melody and production alone it could be a 5. Perhaps for the lyrics too if I could actually hear any of them. But I can’t disagree with the general consensus, Thom Yorke is so whiny he becomes inaudible. So that… plus the whole band coming across as humourless and up themselves loses them a star. Though to be honest, I’m sure they couldn’t give a rat’s arse what anyone thinks.

A very very very good album. Although it’s a bit maligned now because it’s one of the go to answer when discussing great albums, I can see why people have it in the discussion. It’s not a perfect score from me however because fitter happier is not a good song and should’ve been left on the track list. Everything else about it is great

For this Radiohead-valuer but not so much -adherent, Ok Computer and In Rainbows (yes, not Kid A) are their two best releases, and nearly prepare me to concede that they're one the great bands. Insofar as In Rainbows is the apotheosis of their gorgeousness, Ok Computer is the zenith of their rawness and vulnerability: it's the record that's more believable and more emotionally pertinent than any other. Yorke is still a limited and too-studied lyricist - 'And now we are one / In everlasting peace'; 'Don't get sentimental / It always ends up drivel' - but he never whines, just lays down his oomph w/ color and variety. The fact that each song is essentially a ballad is what makes this record so impressively complete: it's doing what it's good at.

Raidohead=top tier

Classic’s

I had minimal exposure to Radiohead prior to this album, and from what little I had heard previously, I didn’t expect to like this record at all. Was I ever surprised! Much mellower than I had anticipated, and there are some really haunting melodies in here. The lead singer reminds me a bit of Bono. As this album went on, the more I liked it. What started out as a three star record ended up a four star effort, in my opinion. I will want to listen to this one again.

Not too far removed from The Bends with the alt-rock sound, but elevated enough for everyone to notice. Radiohead continues their upward trajectory on OK Computer. This was my introduction to Radiohead, and for some reason, OK Computer always kept me at arm's length. It's a cold sounding record with a paranoia surrounding technology, constant surveillance, goal and job oriented society, and maybe the greater loss of something human. It's undeniably a good record, but I still don't see it as the masterpiece it's tauted as. Besides, I'm a bigger fan of all of the records that came after this.

Esse é bom, mas não eh meu preferido do radiohead, mas eh incrível msm assim. 9/10

One of the best albums of the 90s and top 3 of Radioheads catalogue

« No surprise », this album stands out for its excellence and shaped its generation! This album brings at its listeners a good karma and also luck

I think this is the first time I listened to a Radiohead record front to back. I was surprised by how much crunchy guitar was in here and thought it melded nicely with Thom Yorke’s vocals. There were a handful of great songs in here, just a few pockets that missed me. Best Track: Karma Police

Epically good. Experimental electronic sounds mixed with straightforward hard rock.

9/10

Great listen.

Great album. Listened a few times before. Appreciate it

Goat

Radioheaad just knows how to make an emotionally packed tune. It is incredible to me how they can create such complex feelings in their songs. Let Down is by far one of my favorite tracks on this album because it embodies a deep sadness but packs it into a beautiful song. It brings up so much emotion for me every time I listen to it! The rest of the album is great, with only two low points.

He Buzzes Like A Fridge 1001 Albums Generator 142 (10/17/2025) OK Computer is Radiohead's third studio album and it's an album that I really don't need to say anything about. It is widely and often considered one of the greatest albums of all time. It represented a transition from Radiohead's more simple Britpop-inspired alt rock to something more artistic with a definite vision, albiet an abstract and at times oblique one. Musically, this is quite an ambitious undertaking, from Paranoid Android's through-composed structure to the polymeter of Let Down to the relative heaviness of Electioneering, this album does a lot to keep the listener entertained, but it also has a distinctive sound. The first half of this album is practically perfect. Even my least favorite song on the first half, Exit Music, has one of my favorite moments when it opens up in the last minute or so with the distorted bass and drums. It's really powerful. Every other moment through Karma Police is essentially without fault. I've always found the second half a little less memorable, with Climbing Up The Walls and Lucky being my least favorite songs, but No Surprises and The Tourist are both fantastic. The former is especially heartbreaking. With all that said, In Rainbows is my pick for the finest moment of Radiohead's career, although OK Computer is deserving of the praise it gets. 4.5/5, rounded down to a 4. Favs: Paranoid Android Let Down Karma Police Least Fav: Lucky

An early creative peak for the band.

ok

pas mal mais tjs aussi chelou. Il y a qq titres exceptionnels

Challenging but came through in the end. Large soundscapes on some tracks. Music to absorb rather than dance to.

Gotta say I enjoyed this one, especially Paranoid Android and Karma Police. Not my first listen through.

Cool band I reckon

There is lots to appreciate about OK Computer, the first six tracks are epic. However whilst harsh the three tracks to No suprises dont match up to that very high standard, as harsh as that is I dont think i can say they belong on a five star album.

Due to mumbling Thom Yorke, I've so far found Radiohead albums a bit of a mixed bag in terms of my marking, but this one has No Surprises on it, and I love No Surprises. I was a bit surprised to see the song from this album with the highest popularity on Amazon Music wasn't Karma Police, but instead was Let Down. I should have guessed it was Tiktok's fault, but it's still surprising to me that a nearly 30 year old album track can suddenly become massive due to social media - it made the Billboard top 100 in August! On the negative points, there are now two songs on two different albums with a computer generated voice that I don't like (the other is "You Liked This (Okay, Computer!)" by Will Wood, named for Fitter Happier by Radiohead). I don't care that it's intended to invoke a certain emotional response - in me, the emotional response is irritated. The singles are all great. From the non-singles, Electioneering is fantastic and I really liked Climbing Up The Walls. I can absolutely understand why this album gets all the plaudits. It's not something I'd personally want to regularly listen to from start to finish, but it's incredibly accomplished. 4/5

Day 151 and this is my third Radiohead album. I got In Rainbows five days ago and found it a very surprisingly enjoyable listen. In my review, I stated that OK Computer is the only album of theirs I actually "love" and that much of the rest after their discography I hadn't really paid attention to, and didn't think I cared much for. This is especially true for the albums that came after this one. I was very excited to get this album today, and dove in with relish. I hadn't listened to it in full in many years, so I was excited to play it with reasonably fresh ears. And what I found is that while great in many ways, it's not as good as I used to think. It was such a new sound (to me) when it first came out and it felt like something was changing in music, which it did in many ways (thanks Coldplay, etc). But It didn't blow me away almost 30 years later. I think it's a great album, but listening to this I didn't feel like I felt listening to In Rainbows just a few days ago. It might not be a fair thing when a great album doesn't blow me away like it used to. I wanted this to be a five and it's likely going to be a four.

Favorite Songs on initial listen: Exit Music and Let Down Not the usual kind of music I listen too, liked it more the more I listened. Hard to understand lyrics (mumbling). Unique sounds with headphones on

I really enjoyed this album. Great songwriting and interesting melodies. These guys are top-notch musicians. I expected some pretentiousness and, instead, found thoughtfulness and profoundly listenable ballads and biting rock and roll.

But for this project I would never have spent a few hours listening and relistening to the Pet Shop Boys and then a couple more hours listening to OK Computer. It really makes you appreciate the creativity of Radiohead. I still don't love most of it but I do appreciate it. I didn't give Paranoid Android the credit it deserved back when it came out, what a great song.

This album’s second half from Karma Police on is pretty great.

Yes it's great but it is a tad overrated. Still, the claustrophobic, dystopian nature of the music still resonates today and it has aged very well. I do prefer The Bends over this but can't deny how good this one is.

I haven't really taken the time to listen to a full Radiohead album, but I'm glad I listened to this one. It's sad and dissonant but still enjoyable to listen to all the way through. I enjoyed this a lot

muito bom

I’m sorry to every twenty or thirty-something out there, this album is not better than In Rainbows. It’s still pretty good, though. And it gave us Exit Music (For a Film) and Karma Police, so I won’t be too mad at the Website Gods for giving us this album today

it's just one of those albums man. i may not be a thom fan, but i'll be damned if this album isn't it.

Overall, the instrumental performances are varied and ear-catching. Gen X prog rock. Given the albums reputation for having a strong theme, I would expect to have a more understandable vocal performance. But then again some of my negative songs were ones I could understand. I guess my issue is that I know they can manage a large soundscape with intelligible lyrics because of other albums and it would have really sent this one over the top.

Not my favorite radio head album but still excellent.
