A CD retrospective - OK Computer


OK Computer by Radiohead
I'm not actually sure how to write about OK Computer. I wasn't even into Radiohead when my uncle bought me this album for Christmas.  Like a few other "great" albums it took me a while to appreciate everything it had to offer.

It's sound is dense and gloomy - whilst managing at the same time to often be driven and compulsive.  It's actually quite addictive.  It's a stepping stone between guitar driven songs and the waaaaaay more experimental albums that followed.
I don't really want to write lots about it though.
It may have received more critical acclaim than it deserved as a result of The Bends not receiving any at all, but it's still outstanding.

Don't label it as depressing or whining.  It's worth a listen.
