OK Computer is pretty close to classic. Since then, however, Radiohead has become one of those acts that people get religiously weird about which is pretty uncomfortable.

None of their other output is close in quality though.

(whoever said that 'lucky' is secretly the best song was otm, however it still isn't good enough for me to still want to hear it particularly ever)

How do the OKC haters feel about the artwork and the visual themes generally? Before I heard anything I liked off the album, I had to admit the album cover was really appealling and interesting. Especially because I hated the cover art for The Bends with a passion. Pablo Honey's cover was bad, too. No one can argue that OK Computer isn't the first decent Radiohead cover art, right??
― richardk (Richard K), Friday, 21 April 2006 12:06 (eighteen years ago) link
all radiohead cover art &c is kind of hilariously awful in its relentless confusing of cryptic nothingness with Big Meaningful Messages - ok computer no exception. i can't really remember what their other albums looked like.
mental note: lex owns a radiohead album
not as of...TONIGHT, bubba.
(btw the reason 'lucky' is tolerable and the rest isn't for me is because on 'lucky' there is this one great moment where thom yorke sings really low, and it turns out that when he does that his voice is kind of rich and great! but when he sings high, ie 99% of the time, it is a quite, quite disgusting noise.)

Absolute classic. This is one of those records that has always and consistently been an undercurrent in whatever musical identity I've had at a given time. Not embarrassed to say.
― soundofair, Sunday, 10 August 2008 00:08 (fifteen years ago) link
It's got very pretty songs.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 10 August 2008 00:08 (fifteen years ago) link
Tails off a bit towards the end. Maybe it's a sequencing problem 'cause the songs aren't actually bad - ok Electioneering is a bit weak and I've never liked The Tourist. 1-6 is unbeatable though. I find myself returning to Let Down more than any of the others.
― ledge, Sunday, 10 August 2008 00:18 (fifteen years ago) link
Remains (so far) the only album I've ever defenestrated.

I'm totally happy when one of these songs comes on shuffle, except "Electioneering" which is lame.
― Euler, Sunday, 10 August 2008 02:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Funny this should be revived today, I heard Lucky/The Tourist (I think) playing out of the window of an apartment I walked by today and was amazed at how, well, uninteresting and big-whooshy-melodramatic mega rock song it was. While the 14 year old in me died a little, nevertheless it's still classic.

Can I also state for the record for those who remember old Radiohead threads here that I have just talked to the Reverend on the phone and we get along fine. And I told him to say hi to Timi Yuro & Brian in Seattle. And Matos too. I told him to say hi.

Classic, but overhyped and overrated. I prefer warm, luxurious Radiohead to cold, paranoid Radiohead, so I'll take In Rainbows over OKC almost anytime.

"Lucky"

― Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You, Sunday, 10 August 2008 05:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, though "Lucky" never mind. That was the first track on my live CD that would knock your fucking socks off.
