iTunes Review

Their previous album, 1995’s The Bends, represented the perfect balance between pop and its experimental edges. OK Computer would gently toss the pop tag aside (2000’s Kid A would be less gentle with its ruthless artistic ambition). Using their guitars to create seemingly endless layers of sound, adding strangely alluring keyboards and throwing together a few off-kilter rhythms, the British quintet fashioned themselves as both pioneers in their “alternative” rock field and as throwbacks to the album-oriented rock of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Rush where much of the music’s power depended on its overriding concept. The deliberately disjointed “Paranoid Android” represents the band’s increasingly complex side as it breaks into various pieces within itself and settles for no easy ways out. “Lucky,” “Karma Police” and the haunting sweep of “Exit Music (For a Film)” are, by comparison, almost motionless in their sonic waves, floating on warm, fuzzy sonic beds. Not exactly space-rock in the strictest sense, but definitely music looking to travel beyond the usual constraints of time and space.

Customer Reviews

It's difficult but worth the effort in the long run

This can be seen as the sequel to The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd. Both focus on the alienating pressures of modern society while putting some awesome music to go with them. I didn't like this album at first but I let myself get lost in it and eventually I came to realize the true beauty of this album. The entire first half is near perfect and the second half isn't that bad either! I highly recommend Ok Computer to any music lover. It is easily one of the best albums of the 90's and possibly of all time. Just take note that you probably won't get it on the first try: even I didn't!

First Radiohead Experience

I have to say, I only put No Surprises on my I Pod at first and was satisfied. It was through someone telling my to listen and buy the whole CD that I finally got to enjoy Ok Computer for what it is. It is a brilliant piece of music that came out of the 90's. Instantly one of my favorite groups of all time along with other bands for an amazing CD. Best first experience listing to Radiohead. It took me a few listens to get into Radiohead but those trials payed off.

Addicted 2 karma police!!!

Karma police is an amazing song amazing lyrics but the music is so calm and relaxing but has a awesome rock vibe in it. Great album to love the other songs!!!

Biography

Formed: 1989 in Oxford, England

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

Radiohead were one of the few alternative bands of the early '90s to draw heavily from the grandiose arena rock that characterized U2's early albums. But the band internalized that epic sweep, turning it inside out to tell tortured, twisted tales of angst and alienation. Vocalist Thom Yorke's pained lyrics were brought to life by the group's three-guitar attack, which relied on texture — borrowing as much from My Bloody Valentine and Pink Floyd as R.E.M. and Pixies — instead of virtuosity....
