Radiohead
OK Computer

The "Pink Floyd" are one of the best Bands of all time, they were born in 1965 and officially died in 1996, how can the world go on without the "Pink Floyd"? The young generations who couldn't enjoy pearls of modern music, where will they pour their love? In 1995 with "The Bends" the "Radiohead" gave the first sign that their music was not trivial and frivolous, so after 2 years in 1997 they released a masterful "OK Computer", but don't worry readers, I don't idolize the "Radiohead" like many other people who seem to be in an endless vortex, where even a fart from Thom is poetry for the senses. Kid A and Amnesiac already make me frown, "Hail To The Thief" and "In Rainbows" made my arms drop, and "The King Of Limbs" in my opinion was the pinnacle of mediocrity, it was too good to listen to an album from start to finish without doubts, and indeed in the end, everything turned against.

With "Airbag" it is immediately clear that the album takes us to a strange, depressed, alien world. "Paranoid Android" is a schizophrenic track that clearly marks the departure from the group's previous works, alternating moments of madness and complete frustration, and with these feelings, we move to "Subterranean Homesick Alien" which echoes the famous "Blues" by "Bob Dylan", with a beautiful opening arpeggio and later among dreamy atmospheres, the pieces so far are absolutely not trivial and actually stand out both musically and lyrically, very thoughtful and full of criticisms. "Exit Music (For A Film)" the atmospheres become rarefied, sadness, and paranoia prevail, the song ends in a climax of keyboards and madness.

Here I think there is a first downturn, "Let Down" maintains the album's sound, but it seems to clash especially after a very emotional "Exit Music", "Karma Police" is definitely the group's most famous song which put that way almost sounds like an insult, instead, I find it very intimate, like a Siamese friend on the shoulder who suggests what to do, all filled with synthesizers. The album so far is undoubtedly among the best of all time, but then I don't understand the excessive experimentation of the second part:

"Fitter Happier" semi-hidden track, a robotic voice gives life suggestions supported by a sad and anxious piano (in my opinion exaggerated) closes in a whirlwind, "Electioneering" I don't know but it reminds me a lot of the "Oasis", and "Oasis" and I do not get along very well, although only this song can make any song by the Gallagher brothers pale, I don't find it at the level of the first part, "Climbing Up The Walls" dark and gloomy atmospheres, it feels like being inside a spaceship immersed in space, a piece that however would have been better on "Adore" by "The Smashing Pumpkins" (reviewed a few days ago) than on this "Ok Computer" where there is already an "Exit Music" that tinges the album with sadness and anxiety, and from this point in my opinion a reassessment of the CD begins first "No Surprises" the famous "lullaby" of Radiohead abused by televisions for certain programs or services, among the few positive songs in Radiohead's discography, and subsequently "Lucky" my favorite song of the CD (probably for the Floydian sounds but it doesn't matter) raise the stock of the work, which closes with "The Tourist" a journey through fears, melancholy, depressions, and alienations this excellent CD, not the best of all time but certainly the best of "Radiohead" and among the best works of the last 20 years.

I apologize for yet another review of this album, but by now you have reviewed everything, what is left for me?
