OK Computer by Radiohead

Pros: Ambitious musical territory, incredible virtuosity.
Cons: Very few, not worth the mention.

I have never been much of a Radiohead fan. The few singles I had heard in the past seemed very much uninteresting to me. Thus, I never had the urge to shell out the necessary cash to purchase any of their albums. A few months ago, however, I was...

Pros: Tracks #1-7, and #9-12
Cons: Track #8

To the uneducated listener, Radiohead's OK Computer would seem too arty and complex for mainstream culture, and in many respects, that would be an accurate assessment. There are no real guitar hooks, no instantly recognizable songs, and it has a...

Pros: lyrical and musical masterpiece
Cons: absolutely none

There are few albums that come out these days that are worth even unwrapping, let alone every single praise that OK Computer receives.

OK Computer is a snapshot of modern day life. From the praise of technology's capability of saving life in...

Pros: Stunning, Achingly beautiful, What an Album is Meant to Be
Cons: None

More than an album, 'OK Computer' is a fully-realized vision, a complete piece that ought to be digested whole. This is an 'album' in every sense of the word, no mere hodgepodge of singles; it takes us back to the day when 'album' meant something.
...

Pros: Fantastic album.
Cons: Have to wait until 2000 for the followup.

You know how sometimes you buy an album you really love, and you can't stop listening to it, and you listen to it so much that there comes a point where you almost can't stand to hear it any more, and you have to put it away for a long time before...

Pros: unique sound, 12 great tracks, lyrically genius, musically outstanding
Cons: very intimidating upon first listen, however, many would consider this a pro.

Radiohead's most recent album, OK Computer, brings a brilliant and new sound into the music industry. With it's cosmic guitar effects and Thom Yorke's powerful tenor voice it dominates all other albums of the 90's, perhaps only matched by their previous...

Pros: Great artistic music
Cons: Some lyrics may weird people out

As a sea of crap pours from the music industry it is reassuring to know that artists such as Radiohead exist to stem the tide of unfeeling coroprate crap. I picked up this CD after the release of Kid A because I remeber how much I love Radiohead's mellow...

Pros: Superior Musical Craftsmanship
Cons: The price of CD's , these days

It might seem superfluous at this time writing another review on "OK Computer". After all, all the critics have been talking about it for over a year now, even putting it on a par with all time classics such as "Dark Side Of The...

Pros: All Pros...
Cons: Nothing springs to mind...

I have devoted the last 24 hours of my life to a consummate attempt at experiencing Radiohead's OK Computer completely devoid of bias, devoid of build up, devoid of prejudice. I have listened to it in big power blaster headphones which make the world...

Pros: A classic.
Cons: It wasn't a double cd

My first taste of Radiohead was the song "Creep", which I had heard on the MTV Buzz Bin cd. I'd be lying if I said that I was instantly mesmorized. Not that I didn't think it was a good song. It was a good song alright. It just didn't hint on...

Pros: Excellent, intense, well done
Cons: Can be a bit gloomy

Thank You, Radiohead. Thank you very much. The top of my play list has been this very CD for almost two years. The third release from Radiohead, OK Computer takes their music to different, more mature levels. Thom York's amazing voice works even...

Pros: electioneering, karma police, paranoid android, fitter happier...
Cons: some people wont understand it

Radiohead has become internationally recognized for their unique sound, and computer shows off that sound in force. I bought it as soon as it came out, and i still listen to it. From the deep tones of paranoid android, to the experimental electioneering,...

Pros: Great music, powerfully artistic, multi-layered musical experience
Cons: Maybe an acquired taste, doesn't sound exactly like radio hits

I originally heard Radiohead on their namesake-medium, the radio. I enjoyed the radio-friendly nature of such songs as 'Creep,' 'High and Dry,' and 'Fake Plastic Trees.' I bought 'The Bends' album (the previous one) because I was trying to get into a...

Pros: Amazing Album, great songs, great diversity, amazing amount of emotion and talent
Cons: None that I can think of

I must admit, I was drawn to Radiohead for strange strange reasons. I didn't even know they sang that song "Creep" until much much later. Well, one day, I was watching MTV, and I first saw the video for "Paranoid Android." I hardly...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Too short

I think everyone should own this album. There is a reason this album won so many awards and why it topped so many "Best Of" lists. Radiohead was sadly overlooked for a Album of the Year Grammy for this album, but for some reason, America...
