OK COMPUTER was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year and won the 1998 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance.
OK COMPUTER, Radiohead's third album, is the bombastic follow-up to 1995's sleeper hit THE BENDS, which left critics and listeners as impressed with the band's ability as they were curious about their potential. In spite of its technological-sounding title and apocalyptic sci-fi themes, OK COMPUTER is firmly grounded in the rock verities. Waves of guitars rage beneath the haunting melodies and near-hysterical fits of singer Thom Yorke. This complex, intense swarm of guitars is held aloft by a solid, inventive rhythm section and an impressive array of piano and keyboard textures.
"Paranoid Android" is a six-minute-plus epic with alternating time signatures, wild dynamic shifts, drama and adrenaline to spare. "Let Down," with its double-tracked vocals and rhythmic throb, may give a brief glimpse back at Radiohead's past, but at no point is OK COMPUTER anything but a hurtle forward.

Spin (8/97, pp.112-113) - 8 (out of 10) - "...Unlike their majestic models U2, Radiohead take on techno without switching instruments or employing trendy producers....As with post-rockers Tortoise, Laika, and Seefeel, Radiohead have a fuzzbox or two and obviously know how to use 'em..."
Entertainment Weekly (Spring 2000, p.166) - Ranked #4 in EW's "Top 10 albums of the '90s"
Entertainment Weekly (7/11/97, pp.65-66) - "...Shrouded in wafting guitars, swoony rhythms, and moody-blue strings, it shrugs off mosh-pit conventions for a poignant delicacy and breadth, with Yorke's cracked-throat voice the album's melancholy center....For all of Radiohead's growing pains...their aim--to take British pop to a heavenly new level--is true..." - Rating: B+

Radiohead may have a number of sides to them, but OK COMPUTER truely captures some of their greatest work. Daring in scope, honest in presentation, and an undeniable masterpiece, it will grab your attention and not let go easily. Though a little depressing in theme, this CD is phenomenal--a real pleasure. The best radiohead there is.

One of the best albums... ever
There's a before and an after in 90s music due to this album. Just one of those albums that you will play over and over again throughout the years, just amazed at how good it is. Yorke's voice is really at its best in OK Computer, and the band seems much more mature as compared to The Bends. Both Kid A and Amnesiac were good, but they weren't even close to this. Buy it, it's just a classic.

I was once checking out my brother's albums and i suddenly came up to radiohead's albums, i heard them all, from "Pablo honey" to "I might be wrong"(By the way they are great live!)
I didnt know much about radiohead and i really liked it, but "Ok computer" was missing from his collection...I looked for it everywhere until i found it, it had a sticker that said: "Best album of 1997". So i listen to it at once!
I was amazed with this album! Truly a masterpiece! Altough it seems kind of sad is really good. Best radiohead album!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. Mindblowing and ABSOLUTELY creative zenith in music
A friend of mine kept telling me that this CD gives one the same feeling that is acquired from listening to Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'. This kind of pissed me off, because that is sacred Floyd, and it represented Floyd's high point in music (soon after Roger Waters went mad and the band wanted to break up, they knew that they had created a perfect musical masterpiece). Whilst going through the London International Airport, I spotted the CD for a good price in the Virgin CD Store and thought, 'English band, I'm in England, why not?' and I picked up the CD. OH MY GOD!!! This music has something that you cannot put your finger on. It sounds absolutely undated, meaning that so many elements from classic music to futuristic sounds are carefully crafted here. This music is the perfect canvas for which a lush and larger than life picture is created upon. I do not own other Radiohead, but I will not buy any, this is too perfect. When you listen to 'Exit Music (For a Film)', there is something that tears into you soul and enters your mind through every one of your pores. After I bought this, I played that song for my wife and she was so connected with the song that every time I came home from work, this song was playing on repeat already for hours. It's that good. The rest of the CD is equally as good, but they could have put just that song on the CD and I would have given the same review. This is highly focused songwriting and these guys were completely in tune with getting the perfect sound for every song to evoke that exact emotion that they were seeking. Buy this first and foremost! 'Dark Side of the Moon' indeed!!!!!

Got an insufferable know-it-all of a rock-snob friend? Invite him over with the promise of a recently unearthed bootleg of a previously unknown Elephant 6 album from 1998, then watch as he listens for the first time to the Lesser Birds of Paradise's Space Between. "Of course, that's Julian Koster on the musical saw," he'll say during the ghostly opener "My Refrain," and on stark solo acoustic performances like "Take the Leaves," he'll claim to detect Jeff Mangum's hand in the lyrics. Finally, he'll say that this is clearly a solo album by some obscure member of Elf Power or Of Montreal that Will Cullen Hart of Olivia Tremor Control and Neutral Milk Hotel's Scott Spillane ...

Ok Computer music CDs
$12.15
The Chemistry Set is: Stephen Duncan singing and playing the guitar, Cory Helms singing and playing the bass, glockenspiel and keyboards, Joshua Hoover playing the drums and Meredith Knoll singing and playing keyboards.In 2002, after years and years of working at an all-Tasmanian health food store, and reinventing the Vietnamese language, Stephen decided to take a stab at songwriting. So, he created The Chemistry Set and began his search for a horn section consisting of 9 physically fit musicians with handle bar moustaches. This never panned out, however, but he did happen to meet a few interesting people along the way. Fate threw several parties in which these individuals became acquainted with one another. In the rock world, these are often referred to as "Post Rock Show Social Enlightenment Sessions."First there was Meri. There was just something about her. Maybe it was the fact that she played the dulcimer, and wore men's overalls. Or maybe it was the fact that she had every word from the Back to the Future trilogy memorized. They quickly became friends, and began writing songs about the songs they were writing. Their first collaborative effort, "I am writing a song, this is the way it goes" came quickly in one of their first sessions. They developed this a bit more, and the songs started to get a little more complicated and even had melodies.Then Cory came along. Stephen and Meri didn't quite know what to think of him at first because he would wear only vests and talk about the extensive research he had done on rare insects such as the Nicaraguan nut beetle and the Zimbabwean cicada (who self combusts in order to fight off its enemies). Anyways, the more they talked, they found out Cory was also a musician and had spent several years playing the steel drums for a reggae cover band in Jamaica. The money soon ran out. Apparently, people can only take so many reggae versions of Shock the Monkey and Jailhouse Rock. So he came back to the states to become America's premier purveyor of authentic, custom designed fanny packs. He also ...
