OK Computer by Radiohead

Pros: Inventive guitar leads, incredibly quotable lyrics, manic mood swings, intriguing story!
Cons: Some might dismiss it as being slow, defeatist, or even disturbing.

OK, so it seems I've hit another milestone. I'm now writing my 200th Review for Epinions. (Kind of staggering when you think about it!) Anyway, I kinda feel like I can't let an occasion like this pass without paying homage to something classic, and given ...

Pros: Radiohead's magnum opus; one of the best albums ever
Cons: None

Kurt Vonnegut wrote five novels before Slaughterhouse-Five and eight after, yet it's the work he will be remembered for always. You may personally prefer other books of his (for me, Breakfast Of Champions is his best), critics may claim ...

Pros: 001011011010100110101010101010100110
Cons: 101010101010100110101011100000101010

As much as I love music, I am still the kind that kicks, scratches and claws his way into finding a mathematical "explanation" for everything pertaining to it. If I like a song, it's always because this hook sounds like that song, 'cause that's a rare ...

Pros: They are endless.
Cons: I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer.

Now, the most burning question that comes to one’s mind when thinking about Radiohead is, of course: If Thom Yorke were an animal, what animal would he be? It’s actually a tough one to answer; tougher than you would first imagine ...

Pros: A Stratospheric Masterpiece from Radiohead.
Cons: None.

After the promotion for their 1995 sophomore release “The Bends”, Radiohead was on a roll though the sales for “The Bends” was slow. By mid-1996, they became a best-kept secret to U.K. and American rock fans as “The Bends”...

Pros: it takes my worries, washes them away, and replaces them with indelible hope
Cons: being reduced to a social security number because i'm a living, breathing, beautiful creature

I want to tell you something. I want to show you so much more. Like Radiohead does on "OK Computer". How's that for an understated opener? Speech is only but a little part of how a human being feels things. It's the verbal expression and a lot ...

Pros: Like I said, very close
Cons: None absolutely

When you approach albums like OK Computer, first thing that strikes you is: “how in the world am I going to review this?” Think of it this way, everything that could have been said has already been said before you. Then, almost everyone you want ...

Pros: All.
Cons: None.

Whether you were a fan of alternative, classic rock, or indie, it's almost undeniable that Radiohead's OK Computer was the best record to egress the 90s. Every song--even the song that's not a song--is a highlight, each immaculately precipitating ...

Pros: Hugely good atmospheres and emotional anguish.
Cons: I don't really like emotional anguish in music.

Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Pros: First three songs. "Karma Police." "Fitter Happier" (no that's not a typo)
Cons: The rest makes me feel like I need antidepressants

A couple years back, music critic Sasha Frere-Jones wrote an article on how white (i.e. rhythmically challenged) modern-day indie rock had become, and while I can't say I'm familiar with tons of indie rock, I find that the article provides a good ...

Pros: Brilliant songs mostly, very high level of musicianship.
Cons: Lucky, i can't really get into it

RADIOHEAD - In the nineties many bands have changed and left marks on the music industry. Bands such as TooL have changed and almost created a new style of metal, Nirvana put the spot light on the Seattle scene creating the grunge ...

Pros: The good songs are really good.
Cons: The rest is just filler.

I first really listened to Radiohead last year when I heard their album The Bends. I'd heard them before, but had never really paid them much mind. I immediately fell in love with that CD. Every song was my type of music, rockin, but...

Pros: The vastness of the sound. The free-flow of creative juices. Robots viciously bashing modern life.
Cons: Electioneering comes on like a mole of abnormal size and color.

Calling OK Computer, Radiohead’s third album, my favorite of the lot is kind of like trying to tie the best sex I’ve ever had to one particular partner. I could throw that declaration out carelessly, but the more I think about it, the more ...

Pros: Arguably Radiohead's best album
Cons: Bands such as Coldplay exist

Radiohead's previous album, The Bends (1995), had dealt almost exclusively with personal relationships, barely living outside of the connection between love and despair. The social angst that dominated their first album, Pablo Honey, and ...

Pros: Mind-altering capability in every song
Cons: None

Radiohead's 1997 hit album OK Computer will leave you wondering what just hit you. Listening to the whole thing through, you wonder if it was simply the music that made you a bit stoned. And you would be right. There is no need for ...
