OK Computer (studio album) by Radiohead

Great album with many great songs like airbag, Exit Music (For A Film) and Subterranean Homesick Alien.

Very futuristic production with this album feeling as if it is a genre of its own.

This is my second Radiohead album i’ve heard and i’m excited to hear the rest.

8/10

A hauntingly beautiful album, OK Computer has the ideas of a large rock opera, confined into the claustrophobic, gritty and personal sound Radiohead brings. Introducing more use of electronic instruments (both tying to the themes of technology and foreshadowing to their next masterpiece), Radiohead never sounded better up to this point. The abrasive, detailed production, paired with the creative instrumentation and Thom's harrowing and deep lyrics (bolstered by his powerful falsetto), there is little to hate about this album. It's complex and profound, and holds more relevance today than it did 25 years ago. The songs stand on their own and sound great; when strung together they make a surreal experience that will make you question so many things, all while you can't help but awe at the genius of this record. As flawless and important as a rock album, or album in general, can be.

This was it. The moment that made the guitar and all music that it made obsolete. This masterpiece was the moment where a band could say they had completed a genre.

Not so good to be the first ever

Radiohead, is a band that is a bit of a mystery to me. In all ratings and lists it in the top, but for me it is not a familiar band that I understand and worship. Why this record rated so high, a #1 one of all time beats me also. It is good but not amazing at the first listen. Perhaps the awesomeness waits for me somewhere after future listens. This being the second listen gives me an 85/100 rating at best.

I've always loved this album due to it's uniqueness when it was first released. Upon pulling it out recently and revisiting it a few times I've found it seems to of not held that same magic. Don't get me wrong, still a brilliant album full of top caliber songs. Just not standing the test of time with me unlike some earlier era bands (Beatles, Floyd etc)

Great album, absolutely great, but not my choice for #1. Mine would probably be a Beatles album, either Revolver or SGT Pepper’s. Definitely top 10 though.

Favorite tracks: Electioneering, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Airbag

Wonderfully executed concept album, with a great concept and loads of tracks brilliant in their own respect.

This is a fantastic album, but it's not top 10 all time, let alone first. I don't even have it top 2 Radiohead.
