I've been listening to Radiohead's O.K Computer for a week now, and I can't stop listening! What do you all think about this album and what is your favourite song? My favourite song's Paranoid Android. Greets, Pete
Good Radiohead album, although there are others I like more. My favorite song on there is probably "Exit Music (For a Film)" or "Lucky".
I think it's their most consistent album, but Kid A is also amazing. OK Computers the one that made me fall in love with the band so I'll always have a soft spot for it. On a similar point, what did anyone think of Thom Yorkes "The Eraser"?
it is one fine fine album. let down and climbing up the walls are 2 of my favorties. i'm pretty in love with the whole album though.
Climbing Up The Walls is a great song. One time I listened to it on repeat for about 45 minutes so I could write this poem about the imagery I get while listening. It's all about fishermen who accidentally skewer mermaids while fishing on cold gray waters and the mermaids are dying...I don't think that's what they were aiming for, but it works with the song.. I also love the transition from Exit Music into Let Down. Such polar opposite moods. It's like your soulmate dying one day, then seeing puppies tumble around in the grass the next. I call it the puppy dog effect.
I don't see how this album does any wrong. It kind of has everything that a music fan would want, no? Do you know anyone that knows the album that doesn't like it? I don't. The only people that say they don't like it are the people that don't like radiohead because it isn't cool to like radiohead or something absurd like that. I think it is a masterpiece. My favorite songs on the album are Let Down, Exit Music and No Surprises.
I think it's a brilliant album, my favourite song being Lucky. although I much prefer Lucky acousticaly...it's magical. and Climbing Up The Walls is just so chilling, I love it. I'll always prefer the bends though...
It was the centre of my existence for the latter half of 1997 and then into 1998 and 1999. As far as I knew then, there was nothing else like it around at the time... I just put it on over and over and over. I can still put it on now and enjoy it, even though Kid A was the biggest letdown in the world... that was the album that put me off Radiohead forever. It's an ugly album with an ugly sound, and it's also completely empty emotionally. It's cold, cynical, and sounds like it was written and performed by machines. After that, they just got pretentious-- none of their songs have any real depth or warmth or anything interesting in them. But they still have two very good albums.
OK Computer is definite masterpiece. I bought the album as my first radiohead album, and it took many listens to get to like it. I remember, the power was out one night, and i decided to give it a spin, and everything was quiet and i was just LISTENING and it hit me how brilliant it is. I notice new things everytime....it's so excellent. Exit music is just so beautiful and simple. a ton of emotion in that song. and yeah, most people's favorite is Paranoid Android for good reason
I could listen to Karma Police a billion times and never get sick of it. Right now though i'm really into House of Cards on In Rainbows.
