Having watched countless OK Computer reactions, I am always surprised how few, if any know the story of Romeo and Juliet. It makes me reflect on reading it at school and how little the story meant back then. As you go through life, you learn about love and loss and the tragedy of the tale of Romeo and her Juliet comes to become more and more relatable. Then you hear Exit Music and how Thom's lyrics capture the essence of the tale and the delivery expresses all the emotion and desperation of the characters. You just have to revel in the genius of those few humans with such talent who find their way to leave their mark on the world.

The transition from Climbing Up The Walls to No Surprises is among the best on any album the juxtaposition of those 2 songs and the themes is so chilling from paranoia to despair and from scary to beautiful is just amazing.

[@SilentInferno]

Kid A and Amnesiac are separate albums but the songs for both were recorded in the same sessions. A few years ago Kid A Mnesia was released as a kind of special compilation that features both albums together. But I’d recommend listening to them separately, as they were originally released.

According to The Rolling Stones Magazine, OK Computer considered to be the Top 10 Greatest Album of All Time! Just to inform that not many bands had the 10/10 album other than just one album, but Radiohead had 3 10/10 albums. Kid A (2000) and In Rainbows (2007) considered to be in the same level as OK Computer!

[@Jabotas]

And depending on your mood, The Bends and A Moon Shaped Pool are also 10/10

[@lk-music]

The orchestration on A Moon Shaped Pool is outstanding. Their different albums have different ways of being their outstanding album. In Rainbows is their most cohesive piece of work, just ahead of The Bends. Even Pablo Honey has pretty inventive elements for a grunge album.

[@JakeLiddell]

Hi @tamerail. I know this album backwards. But actually you searched for meaning behind the songs, which I've never done. It made it interesting to hear you think about how each song lives in the context of the album as a whole. Thanks. About time I listened again - as you say - with my eyes shut... 🙂

[@majormajormajortom]

I've been a HUGE fan of Radiohead for many years, my favourite album of theirs changes from day to day, but I only just recently gained a new appreciation for OK Computer---it's certainly affecting me in this phase of my life in particular, in a way it hasn't before, matching my own feelings. There's a story contained within this album that that really resonates: Airbag - A man survives a car crash, an airbag saves his life; sees the world anew, born again. feels like an interstellar hero, feels like he could save the universe, can accomplish anything Paranoid Android - This new perspective is shattered by the noise, by people, caught in the grinding combine of society, that cares about things of no consequence at all; feeling like an android, an outsider, someone that only appears human, but is different inside, paranoid---like he's the problem and is being unreasonable. Calling down to the aliens above to reign down some peace again, desperate, to no avail Subterranean Homesick Alien - New perspective is gone; the possibilities, the senses, are drained from the world. Looking up to the aliens, and their detachment and amusement, their distance, wishing the airbag hadn't robbed him of the opportunity to apart from it all, with all this uptight people; becoming uptight himself, strung out, the tension. Exit Music (For a Film) - The desire to run away; to escape the post-apocalyptic cold of the world; the peril of it all, the danger of being caught; with one other person, together we can do this; we hope you choke with your rules and supposed wisdom, we don't need you. Let Down - But he can't escape the world, you can't escape people, even your partner is part of the system; it all just lets you down in the end; no escape except metamorphosis into a something else completely; all you get is crushed; the world is too powerful and overwhelming. Karma Police - Back to square one; he's stuck with these people, these horrible, insincere, phony people that think they're cool and different, but are just the results of society; wishing for the Karma Police to take them all away, to get what they deserve---ironic because police are emblematic of society's control and authority over us; a fleeting desire---I lost myself; it's not you, it's me, I'm the problem, I'm delusional. Fitter, Happier - Society brainwashing him; propaganda; robotic voice: these are all the things you should be worrying about instead, forget everything else; take the soma; be a productive member of society; pragmatism, not idealism; just a pig being fed shit; in a cage with nowhere to go, no escape; on antibiotics to keep you healthy and docile, keep you (literally) buying into society. Electioneering - The rage, bubbling up; rage at the politicians that made the world this way, that keep the world this way for their own benefit, not the people they're supposed to be a benefit for; dragging him back with every forward step, a step away, he takes; a stranglehold on society: police and black magic. Climbing Up the Walls - Breaking point, boiling over; trapped in the walls of society, of his mind; a pig in a cage, a cornered animal; the fear; the rage; the resentment, the frustration, the anger; raging at the machine; the depression cooing in your ear from inside your own skull; no escape. No Surprises - Being an upstanding, monochromatic member of society; fifteen blows and all is shiny and happy; dazed bells; drink the kool-aid, inhale the stupefying, strangling carbon monoxide that slowly kills you; ignore the alarms, no surprises, don't mind me... pretending: get me out of here! Lucky - It's working: the mask, the human facade, he's pretending and society is rewarding him; he's on a roll; the president wants to talk to him; but it doesn't feel good, like crashing an airplane or walking into the lake; he's fitting in, but it feels like dying, its killing him there's a line, cross it and abandon yourself, don't look back; he's standing on the edge of a cliff. The Tourist - the rage and fear is still there, the android still short-circuits from time to time, but it's hidden, buried; and that's okay; don't let it get to you; slow down; just be a tourist, popping in and out of society, taking pictures and enjoying food, seeing the sights, detached; don't let it work you up too much; slow down and enjoy what you can; you may be an idiot, but there IS joy to be found; that doesn't mean you have to accept it or society; all that rage just hurts you; it's not giving up---just be a tourist; the recurring cycle: going too fast, the need to slow down, crashing, and the cycle continues...

The 01 10 theory is a theory in which, if a person plays "Ok Computer" and "In rainbows" tracks in an alternating order starting with "Airbag" (and combining fitter happier and karma police) then the track seem to move into one another, although I don't believe this was intentional.

[@vaughnnewman8903]
