SunnyDRE Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'm sure there has been a thread about this album in here.......but when I searched it didn't come up.So what are everyone thoughts on OK Computer. Do you like it hate? Do you think its too pretentious? Do you think it gets to much "love" critically or not enough? Is it "The Album of 90's?"I'll start. I love this album. I think it is with a doubt maybe the best "Complete Album", I have ever heard. Radiohead is not favorite band, but this may be my favorite album and thats saying lotAs for the critics....while I do tend think it gets too much praise sometimes, it deserves it. They only albums IMO that could even come close to surplanting it as "The Album the 90's" is U2's"Achtung Baby" or MBV's "Loveless"......but I think OK Computer is just a little bit better than those two.Fave Songs:"Lucky"- The guitar solo toward the end is amazing"Airbag"- Great opener."Exit Music"- for a Film-Love how it builds up slowly and finally the payoff is spectacular.For fans of the band, I recommend picking up the Airbag EP. It contains about 6 songs that were left off the album; these songs, while not as good as some the album cuts, are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 God, how I love that album - it's perfect from beginning to end. I've been listening a lot to "Karma Police" lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCGNR Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 One of the best albums ever made, in my opinion.Start to finish - no filler - just intense stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdo242 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've been listening to it a lot lately, starting to appreciate.Nothing more depressing than listening to Fitter Happier on a crowded train early in the morning. Then the riff to Electioneering comes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead really are of those bands that you either "get it" or you don't.I would say maybe give another listen......as it is a "grower" for some people.

SunnyDRE Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) OK Computer = Hey not to knock you are anything; but you seriously don't even like Paranoid Andriod? Edited November 26, 2007 by SunnyDRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pain cake Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Love it, as well as the classics like Karma Police and Paranoid Android, there's all those tasty gems like Airbag, Exit Music, Let Down, Electioneering, Climbing up the Walls etc. It's not an album I would call "perfect" as there are those songs I'm not quite partial to. But it's a great album, Let Down is my favourite song right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray_TH Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Love it, myself. One of the greatest albums ever made and still sounding fresh.To say they're crap is quite ridiculous, really. But to each their own, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbermade_baby Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Along with all my GnR albums, OK computer got me through my teenage years. The best radiohead album by far. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissirge Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Radiohead was horrible when they released Creep,and they haven't improved since.The voice on Karma Police is soo annoying. Another example of the horrible genre of "art rock"Pluss Scott Tenorman likes Radiohead,meanwhile Cartman has sung Journey,Styx and Asia.Which character is cooler ?

jack99 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 A good album but very overrated in my opinion. Too much 'safe-zone' music for me... I like "The Bends" and "Pablo Honey" better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 A good album but very overrated in my opinion. Too much 'safe-zone' music for me... I like "The Bends" and "Pablo Honey" better.Not trying to "knock you", but what do you mean safe zone music. Music that is safe in my opinion doesn't sound like this album.........I mean are you saying it needs the curse words that Appetite had? If so I would say to that swear/curse words to shock people does not make album.........it totally about the content. Again I am not tryin to insult you, I would like to elaborate on what you mean if you have the time. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
