Hello!
This is my first review. I choose my favorite album for the event, definitely the best of the 90s.
The Oxford quintet did a great job, an example for all the subsequent post-rock experimentalism. The best tracks are "Paranoid Android", a kind of new "Stairway To Heaven", very long and complex, and then the beautiful "Karma Police", with a beautiful and mysterious video clip.
All the ballads are also very beautiful, like "Exit Music" or "No Surprises", as they highlight Thom Yorke's melancholic side.
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.
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.
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.
