Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0724385522925 Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol MPN: 55229 Number Of Discs: 1 Publication Date: 1997 Publisher: Capitol Release Date: July 01, 1997 Studio: Capitol Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Radiohead's third album got compared to Pink Floyd a lot when it came out, and its slow drama and conceptual sweep certainly put it in that category. OK Computer, though, is a complicated and difficult record: an album about the way machines dehumanize people that's almost entirely un-electronic; an album by a British "new wave of new wave" band that rejects speed and hooks in favor of languorous texture and morose details; a sad and humanist record whose central moment is Thom Yorke crooning "We hope that you choke." Sluggish, understated, and hard to get a grip on, OK Computer takes a few listens to appreciate, but its entirety means more than any one song. --Douglas Wolk Amazon.com: Radiohead Photos

 Rating:  - Pet Sounds and OK Computer Capitol vinyl reissuesA caveat - the 5 stars are for the music. 4 for pressing! Re: Pet Sounds and OK Computer Capitol vinyl reissues: These are better than the abysmal (imo based on disraeli gears and tea for the tillerman) "back to black" reissues. both the capitol reissue of ok computer and of pet sounds that i bought today are dead quiet and neither suffer from obvious digitalis. they do not sound as if they were recorded using the cd as the source, which many people have felt ... Read More Rating: - thom must be my brotherI love this record, its the most inspired recording of the nineties from beginning to end. Even the lyrics are really on, at times its like Thom Yorke is my long lost brother the way his mind works and the things that he's thinking about. "Exit Music" is my favorite Radiohead song because of how intense it is. A lot of this record seems to be driven by spite and bitterness but that's all good - better get that energy out in the studio then with a machine gun in a school yard. And the best ... Read More Rating: - A masterpieceI loved this CD so much I bought it for my cousin for his birthday so he could listen to this great album. All the songs are great, even the song "the Tourist," which of all of them is my least favorite (But I still like it.) This is my second favorite Radiohead album, with "the Bends" being my first favorite. If you like this one check out the b sides from it on the CD "Airbag How Am I Driving?" Radiohead finally got the Grammy they deserved for their fine work.Airbag/How Am I Driving? [EP] [Limited ...

Simply put, OK Computer brings something to the listener in both meaning and emotion that makes it truly spectacular. Rating:  - hoplessly dull...after reading so much about how this was a new "Dark Side of the Moon" I finally bought it. I know Dark Side of the Moon, Dark Side of the Moon is a friend of mine... trust me, OK computer is no Dark Side. There isn't a single memorable song on this sleepy bore. There is more memorable music in Time's guitar solo than this whole cd. The band sounds like they're on thorazine as they slip through one echo drenched yawner after another. that echo stuff gets old as it is listening to U2...why build a whole ... Read More |
