THE REVIEW
Forgive me, but this review will be a bit self-referential. A few days ago I spoke very well of “Kid A,” and although it's well known to be a great album, the comments below accused me of being a bit of an idiot. Well, I admit that in hindsight a vague provocative aftertaste could be seen in the review, but I believe this stems from a fundamental misunderstanding between author and consumer - respectively me and you, in this case. The way I see it, a pop review in 2018 should be a subjective and enjoyable narrative of the album, without forgetting that in the end, we are all human and vaccinated, and that the sky outside is blue when it's clear and it's a summer afternoon. I mean, there is OBJECTIVITY, but everyone sees things a bit as they want, or as they spontaneously appear to them, and they do it totally in good faith.
All this is to say that you can't blame me if when I listen to “Ok Computer,” all I see in front of me is an immense grey-shit colored panel. The Radiohead have their objective faults, damn it.

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.
