OK Computer
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 more

One of, if not the, best albums of all time
I looked at OK Computer for quite a long time before I finally bought it. Thank God that I did. This album is incredible. Every song would stand up well by itself and the album flows so well. When I heard it i was impressed but it didn't blow me away; as I kept listening to it I couldn't...

I want to like it...but...
I loved, LOVED!, "Bends". I played it so much in the late 90's, my friends got sick of it and told me to stop playing it. I fell out of society for a while, and here I am catching up, 10-12 years later (long story). So, I figured I'd catch up with Radiohead. I'm listening to "OK,Computer" as...

It changed the way a lot of people my age approached popular music - I'd say that's a pretty solid legacy
What can anyone say about OK Computer ten years after the fact that hasn't been said a thousand times already? Probably nothing, but heck - that's never stopped me before.Discovering OK Computer back in 1998 was like waking up one morning to find a Triceratops lumbering around in your garden,...

Perhaps Too Out There
Don't let the 3 star rating fool you. I love Radiohead. In fact, I think a few songs on here are among my favorite of their whole discography.However, I can't quite say the same over the majority of the album.To me as more of a listener, I don't try exploring all the little nooks and crannies of...

Let Down Your Guard, Buy This
Easiest review I'll ever do in my life. Simply put: BUY THIS!Why? Radiohead are an amazing group of talented song writers and musicians as a whole. Collectively "Ok Computer" pulls traces of their past soft alternative works together, and accompanies them with new progressive territory. The...

OK Computer more than OK
I am a new Radiohead fan. That's right, it is only recently that I took the Radiohead plunge and it all began with their latest album "In Rainbows." After that, I was hooked. In order to appease my fix I started purchasing all of their albums on Amazon.com. OK Computer was not a disappointing...

one of my favorite albums of all time
I can't speak for everyone, but I personally love this album, everything about it is great, from the intense "Airbag" right to the angst of "Let down", to the epic filled "Paranoid Android", the simple yet depressing "No suprises" and the pink floydesque "Lucky" there is not a bad track here...
