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.
