THE REVIEW

Changing perspective. That's how the arcane secrets of our mysterious life are unveiled.

One day someone found the diary of an underground alien who was homesick.

He opened the diary and read:

the breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
the smell of the warm summer air
I live in a city
where I can't smell the scents
but I have to be careful
of the cracks in the sidewalks

above me
the aliens fly
and make their videos
to show their friends
of all these strange creatures
who imprison their spirit
dig holes inside themselves
and live off their secrets

everyone is so tense

I wish they would descend
into a country lane
late at night while I'm driving
take me onto their wonderful ship
and show me the world
how I would like to see it
I would tell my friends about it
but they would never believe it
they would think that
I've finally lost my mind
I would show them the stars
and the meaning of life
they would have me committed
but I would be fine

I'm just so tense.

This one thought outside of the box.

 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.


By hobbit1

 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.


By Sgt Pepper

 "OK Computer is a masterpiece on the brink of perfection, which must be listened to from start to finish without interruptions."

 "A true journey in a monolith of melancholy, alienation, and suffering, which represents one of the greatest artistic testimonies of the end of the 20th century."
