THE REVIEW
I bought this record on a November evening returning from fencing practice. It was a time when I had a crush on a girl who wasn’t too pretty, but she had her own charm. One of those girls who piques your curiosity and listened to Radiohead and other bands like Verve (she always hummed the melody of the song "bitter sweet symphony"), Coldplay, and Oasis, and she hated Vasco, Liga, Jovanotti. To have some conversation topics to approach her, I bought this "Ok Computer" and I liked it a lot. Why? Simply because it has everything: power, sweetness, the difficulty of living, irony, social criticism, harmony, love.
Favorite track; a tie between "Karma Police" and "Paranoid Android"
The alternative girl I quickly forgot, but this record I did not!
Wonderful!

Take me on board their beautiful ship / Show me the world as I love to see it.
I’d show them the stars / And the meaning of life.

Everyone is so tense I wish they would descend into a country lane late at night while I'm driving.
I would show them the stars and the meaning of life, they would have me committed but I would be fine.

Listening to the record is like looking at that cover again... Perfect harmony between visual and sound art.
It’s as if someone penetrated your brain and never stopped, a subterranean alien that kidnaps you and takes you to another planet.
By wolf
OK Computer represents the perfect synthesis of what the English group had done in the past and will do in the future.
Paranoid Android is the album’s gem (and perhaps of their entire discography) with a tense acoustic beginning that flows into an intermezzo of distorted guitars.
By Piroz
It is an album that captures you, never bores you, doesn’t sadden you, and after daily stress, it actually relaxes you.
Radiohead could be a good step forward in the right direction.
