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

OK Computer is undefinable in its greatness
The first time I heard OK Computer, I was speechless. Even now, it's hard to put into words how amazing this album is. Simply put, OK Computer brings something to the listener in both meaning and emotion that makes it truly spectacular.

hoplessly dull...
after reading so much about how this was a new "Dark Side of the Moon" I finally bought it. I know Dark Side of the Moon, Dark Side of the Moon is a friend of mine... trust me, OK computer is no Dark Side. There isn't a single memorable song on this sleepy bore. There is more memorable music in Time's guitar solo than this whole cd. The band sounds like they're on thorazine as they slip through one echo drenched yawner after another. that echo stuff gets old as it is listening to U2...why build a whole career out of copying it? wildly over-rated by those who haven't heard stuff from the 60s and 70s. Pop music's standards have seriously slipped and people who regard this aural sedative as a "classic" record are proof.

Chris Martin Rolling Stone 2008: "I would give my left ball to write anything as good as OK Computer.."
This is easily one of the best album ever. An album attains the status of 'epic' when you can listen to it 3 or 4 years after your first listen, and still get the same chills and still experience the same anxiety and mood changes.

I understand why some people may not appreciate this album as much as others, but honestly, what everyone else has said is true, the more time you spend listening to the CD the more beautiful it becomes. I can't really see any current alternative bands ever releasing anything that could even be COMPARABLE to this CD for the next few decades. This album is like our generation's equivalent to Dark Side of The Moon

One of my Favorite Moments comes in Paranoid Android: The descent after the chaotic guitar riffs (It's incredible how much this album plays with your mind/emotions.. This song gets you extremely riled up, only to plunge you into a ridiculously relaxed, almost hypnotic state, and then back up again)

Watch Karma Police live in Glastonbury online, its awesome

From June 2008 issue of Rolling Stones:
"I think if you imagine Radiohead going through a jungle clearing a path, then we're the ones who are probably just criminally paving it. I would still give my left ball to write anything as good as OK Computer. I would become a eunuch just for 'Paranoid Android'"

- Chris Martin, Lead Singer of Coldplay

much better than OK
i love this one from Radiohead. Its been awhile since this was released but i've only got into Radiohead after i purchased their latest "In Rainbows" and decided to check this out. It's everything that's in their current release and then some. It goes without saying that its one of the few cds that i can listen to from beginning to end without skipping over a song or losing interest in the cd midway through.

They have a way of bringing out the music without all the unnecessary distractions and things that doom other cds while in production. It's subtle yet forceful and energy filled as well. I could go on and on about "OK Computer" but most of it has already been said by other folks many times over. So i'll just end this by saying that Radiohead has a new fan in me..all because of this cd.
