I just listened to this album for the first time, and its so freakin amazing. Except for Fitter Happier, which scares the crap out of me. Anyone else love this album?
It's my favourite Radiohead album, for sure. I listened to Radiohead in chronological order so when I got to this, I knew they'd hit their peak, there's just so many great songs on it. Kid A, I had a lot of difficulty getting into, especially after a spectacular album like this, but it's pretty good too.
I love Karma Police and a few of their singles but not their general song list. My friend would have hot hot sex with them though if he could, he's a big fan, like BIIIG fan.
Most Radiohead songs are too mellow or too different for some peopel to get into, so I understand why people have trouble.
I don't really understand what's so great about OK Computer. I mean there's Paranoid Android, which is fucking amazing, but then there's nothing else that stands out really. Personally i like Kid A better.
They do everything if you listen to all their albums. OK Computer is awesome, but then so is The Bends from their older stuff. Kid A and Amnesiac are like a big single album. And then the new stuff has its own style. Radiohead is awesome
I remember Cale's description of Kid A. He said the vocals sounded like Thom Yorke was masturbating while lying on top of his microphone, or something along those lines. This is the best Radiohead album though. This or In Rainbows. Those are the best balances between their earlier stuff and their weird stuff.
Lol yeah i remember Cale saying that. I'd say i agree with that, Thom's vocals are kind of wank at times. But i still like Kid A more than OK Computer. Also, isn't it funny how the three people who don't like Radiohead have Paramore, Cobra Starship and Mayday Parade signatures? lol don't take that seriously.
I don't mean to bring out the "I listen to more music than you" card, because I'm sure both our musical tastes are very broad, but I listen to a lot of different music, so to base me not liking Radiohead on having a pop punk signature is kind of lame, in my opinion. I know you said not to take what you said seriously, but it should be clarified. lol.
How can you not understand not everyone likes the same music you do? You seem to be constantly pushing for everybody to love whatever it is you listen to. Whether it be Weezer or Animal Collective or now Radiohead. I find Radiohead to be incredibly pretentious and aside from 2 or 3 songs, I would never choose to listen to them.
Sorry if it seems that way, i'm not trying to get people to like the bands I like, though. I'm perfectly fine with people not liking Radiohead, Animal Collective, or Weezer. First off, with Animal Collective, I was just trying to get people to notice the album because it wasnt very big but, in my opinion, very very good. I don't remember ever trying to make people like Weezer, i've praised them in the past, but I never tried to force anyone to like them. With Radiohead i'm just surprised the amount of hate there is on the board because they seem like the kind of band that would appeal to LP fans. Sorry if I offended anyone, though.
OK Computer is one of my favorite albums of all time and easily Radiohead's best. Perfect for when I'm in a relaxed mood.
