Their previous two albums, Pablo Honey and The Bends, never quite hit the lyrical brilliance and musical stupendousness that OK Computer had. Lyrics like "For A Minute There, I Lost Myself", "Either Way You Turn, I'll Be There/Open Up Your Skull, I'll be there", and "We Hope That You Choke" are what give Radiohead their aura. His vocals often are tortured and beautifully twisted. His words are often undiscernable, but the feel of the melodies he puts over top notch musical work gets the point across. Thom Yorke's lyrics and give songs so much more meaning than if they were sung by anyone else. Songs just dont's get more emotional and gut wrenching than this. Musical epics are found everywhere on this album. OK Computer is Radiohead's ultimate acheivement in sound and overall quality. But for a moment, one shining moment, Radiohead was God. After OK Computer, with odd, way out of the mainstream releases such as Kid A and Hail To The Theif, Radiohead has fallen out of common knowledge with the people, and that's sad. Before OK Computer, Radiohead was a genrally accepted alt/rock band, and with 1995's The Bends, became a forefront mainstream alt rock band. In 1997, Radiohead jumped and became one of the greatest bands ever. A mixture of emotion, distortion, rock, lullabyes, and bravado, OK Computer became Radiohead's London Calling. Radiohead's OK Computer is undoubtedly one of the greatest albums on history. But there is no way I can get my full opinion on this album out in the comment section. I write this review with the full knowledge that it will not hold a candle to Med's.
