After the success of Radiohead's 2nd album, "The Bends", an album many critics to this day would have in their top ten of all time, the world waited expectantly for it's much-heralded follow-up "OK Computer." We were not to be disappointed. One of the masterpieces of the 1990s, it now sits firmly at the very top of many critics' lists. In many ways OK Computer was an album of transition for the Oxford band. Moving away from their pure indie-rock beginnings, it marked the beginning of the new experimental and more electronic direction Radiohead were to take. Although generally guitar based, the album also included to various degrees the ... Read the complete review

Having released two albums, which revolutionized music the world waited to see exactly how Radiohead were going to follow up Pablo Honey and The Bends. Well the answer from the Oxford band was Ok Computer a superb album, which again would move the goal posts for modern music. The British band are becoming one of the biggest acts in the world and this album released in 1997 went a bit further to proofing that point. Track 1: Airbag ************** The albums opening track starts with a guitar and some bells gently tapping in the back ground before the drums come in leading into the vocals. A pretty mellow sounding song that ... Read the complete review

Radiohead have produced an album which goes totally against the grain. Although it is not the most accessible of albums to start with this is compensated for many times over by its endurance as a record that will stay with you for the rest of your days. In fact the difficulty of the record is what makes it so exciting. It refuses to settle easily in to the background, demanding to be heard. Aware of its own content, it does not attempt to conform to any record label's desires for radio-friendly jingles but rather grabs the listener by the earlobes and forces you to sit down, shut up and take stock of your life and situation. In the making of a seque to their ... Read the complete review

When Radiohead entered the studio to record the follow-up to Pablo Honey, the world didn't expect the five boys from England to produce anything as great as "Creep" but when "The Bends" was released in 1995, critics and fans bought it up and named it, arguably, best album of 1995. When the boys returned to the studio to work on LP3, critics and fans expected a rerun of The Bends. In the summer of 1997, the world, for me and many across the world, changed forever. Ok Computer, a record encompassing every emotion imaginable, wrapped in a 5 inch plastic disc, changed my way of thinking forever. Why? I simply can't answer that yet. This ...

Radiohead's OK Computer really does fascinate me - it's hailed frequently as one of the greatest albums of all time, but I just don't see it. Sure, it's well composed and harmonious, but it's also beyond depressing and plodding. It also features the waste of space of a track that is Fitter Happier, where Steven Hawking seemingly makes a guest appearance. I was always a bigger fan of their superb album Pablo Honey, which featured the likes of Creep and Anyone Can Play Guitar. It's not that I don't like this album - I do, but I find it incredibly overrated. I listened to it once and wasn't very impressed, so I kept listening to it and it did admittedly catch on. ...
