This is an album of such stature and ingenuity it would be hard to write a review on without turning it into a drawn out commentary on the brilliance of the music and indeed the sheer image of the product as a whole. 1995’s The Bends signalled to music lovers that Radiohead were a band for the future, a new Phenomenon to engulf students and rock friendly teens. Ok computer is the complete album. Rarely since the Beatles, some would argue ever, has music taken such a huge leap forward. The Album kicks off with Airbag a guitar orientated track of which sums up the spirit of the Album before slipping into the Sublime ‘Paranoid Android’ a Bohemian Rhapsody for the 90’s. Other highlight tracks, as it would be impossible to mention them all, are No Surprises, the relentless portrait of the modern world and the sound of depression, Karma Police, a lyrical whirlwind of Thom Yorke and his wailing guitar accompaniment, and Exit Music (For a film), a haunting story and real poetry. Ok computer is not for everyone. If you find yourself dancing to steps or humming along to S club 7 the chances are you will not have the intellect to understand the album (in fact you probably wouldn’t be old enough to read). This, along with the less subtle What’s the Story (Morning Glory), was the defining moment of 90’s music and will live on in our hearts for years to come.
