Radiohead - OK Computer vinyl album review | Vinyl Rewind

[@DiRtYLaWs2007]

22 years later and this album still sounds like the future.

[@FetishonyoutubeURL]

I can say the same thing to kid A and in rainbows.

[@jager9022]

Same thing to be said about Mezzanine by Massive Attack, I still can’t believe it was released/made when it was, it’s absolutely timeless, and absolutely no other album comes close to sounding like it

[@VinylRewind]

This is re-edit of a review I originally posted on Jan 2nd, 2018 which was recently copyright claimed and blocked by the Beggars Group, the parent company of XL Records. Instead of fighting it, I thought I'd try my luck at editing the original video to bring it more inline with my current reviews by cutting out the backstory and packaging segments of the video. I also cut down the length and number of music clips used. Overall, this new version is 14min shorter than the original. I had plans of making the "making of the record" segment its own video but after watching it and the recent public release of the OK Computer demos, I decided it would be better to make a more in-depth video on the subject. Thanks for the continued support!

[@iamishsantos]

Not a Radiohead fan but this new editing is way better than the previous one. Made me really appreciate Ok Computer. Giving Radiohead another try.

facts

[@ZoolGatekeeper]

I heard 'Karma Police' at first, and after that was sucked into the whole OK Computer experince with no means to escape. Not even an airbag.. I think my only comparisons are 'Dark Side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd (1973) and 'Hounds of Love' by Kate Bush (1985)... True desert island records.

When I first heard Paranoid Android, it was clear that Radiohead was head and shoulders above anything else coming out at the time. In a class of it’s own, one of the greatest epic tracks of all time.

[@christopherecatalano]

Love your description of the analog delay feedback at the end of “Karma Police”...one the greatest albums ever made without question. Art. Alienation. Rock. Ambience. Insanity. An Airbag. Weird digital humour. It’s all in there.

[@michaelangeles1477]

One of the best discographies in modern music. Just my opinion. Band has been together for roughly what, 30 years? All original members. Still making great music.

[@JasonSchroederSconnie]

Very high quality review. I very much enjoyed the level of detail and research! Definitely an iconic collection of music.

[@mrflibble1259]

I love this album, it's an absolute masterpiece, but it's not even in my top 3 Radiohead records which just shows what an incredible band they are

[@DerekPower]

It has earned its comparison to The Dark Side of the Moon =] Speaking of which, they were able to do the cyclic bookend thing that Roger Waters seem to have employed on Pink Floyd and his solo work (TDSOTM begins and ends with a heartbeat; WYWH has Shine On; Animals has Pigs on the Wing, etc.). The cries of “slowing down” on The Tourist could be heard as a warning to someone driving too fast ... and you get Airbag. Hell, The Tourist ends with a triangle hit, which you could hear as the crash and leading into the frenzy of Airbag. I’ve always liked Fitter Happier because it’s the modern living checklist. But in spite of all the well-meaning aims, it all gets undercut by the final lines: “A pig in a cage on antibiotics”. While it does make a good, even great, closer to Side “Meeny”, I think it works as a warm-up to Side “Miney” or a kind of intermission, providing a nice lead-in to the intense Electioneering (the chorus is an excellent two-finger sentiment: “when I go forwards, you go backwards, and somewhere we will meet”).

[@GIBKEL]

“Frosting on a razor blade” perfect description.....hey, your pretty good at this. A perfect record and then they go and make Kid A and redefine themselves and what pop music can be. Not since Darkside had a record hung together so well for me. No other band occupies the bandwidth between my ears and rarely does a day go by without me humming or referencing a song in their vast catalog. So much joy!

[@chubbychio]

This review is so goooood! I loved it, this is my favorite album in the world

[@allanramos4803]

To this day, I still listen to this awesome album, and it never ceases to amaze me. Probably the most perfect rock album of all time.

[@a.i.dimmer4616]

I have this in cd and vinyl and its awesome,organized chaos, melancholy..its like a doodle or montage of memoir,incredible layers of sound that creates surreal atmosphere...exit music is one of my fave track here but all are good.

What makes OK Computer so good is the fact it holds more relevance today than it did in 1997.

[@chetthebee1322]

I was debating with myself about buying this on vinyl ($50.00). You convinced me to go ahead. I forgot how wonderful of an album it is. The Tourist is my favorite cut

[@X-boomer]

One of the greatest prog rock albums ever recorded

[@fowlae4414]

Ralph Clark it’s not prog. It’s complex at parts, but there are few jazz and modern classical influences compared to King Crimson, for example.

[@X-boomer]

@@fowlae4414 Although this kind of genre classification is moot really (and has become increasingly difficult with the proliferation of crossover genres) just calling it "alternative rock" is a cop out so I would have to disagree. It's not overtly a fusion form like Crimson or ELP, but neither was the Floyd. And like Pink Floyd , Radiohead is much much more than just Rock, it goes beyond that, exploring complex overlaying of different time signatures, strange modulations... composing this stuff requires a deeply technical understanding of music you can normally only acquire by studying it at university as an academic subject. It deserves the label of progressive rock because it *is* a progression beyond rock and it's as rich and complex and experimental as any of the greatest prog rock bands.

[@washmonument]

Such in-depth observations as usual, very unique style. It's twisted that you have to cut reviews that are made to educate an audience and appreciate art.

[@tommonk7651]

Really one of the best albums ever recorded....

[@memyopinionsche6610]

It sounds like. TOOL went to Pink Floyd Direction. While RADIOHEAD went with the Peter Gabriel Genesis directions. And add some King Crimson. Just for flare.

[@Wanderlusteance]

It was WAY ahead of its time. Like I like to think DSOTM was for Pink Floyd.

[@ElCrab]

Easily my favourite Radiohead album, one of my favourite albums of all time. Electioneering is probably my favourite song from it, but Paranoid Android and Airbag are also right up there. Just an incredible album all around.

So nice to see you posting. Could you do a more in-depth review of the mono Beatles albums? I hear that one big advantage is that it’s all analogue as opposed to the remastered stereo mixes that are digitally remastered (White Album and Sgt Peppers are now all analogue with the new remasters). I’d just like to hear someone compare stereo vs mono so I’d know which to buy.

[@ferrancampins1314]

Perfect album. Perfect review.

[@markharrington3775]

I've been slowly immersing myself in to the music of radiohead since the release of Moon Shaped Pool. It's a bit strange me having not made space to listen to them in the past quarter century, but I have been passionate about other musics, plus busy with work and family, so their turn has just come. The way I have approached them is to figure out who has made the most interesting new rock since the classic rock era. I loved a lot of the Americana stuff, but felt ready for this now, and they are the peak by the look of things. This in the form of OKNOTOK is blissful as a triple lp, listened to mainly one side at a time, and at different times of the day as well. MSP is also sublime. I will get on to a vinyl Kid A next, then start exploring the other EP's not on these 3, and then start checking out their concerts here on the tube and as radio captures. Please advise if there is a better approach than that i have outlined and started on. Thanks for your hard work VR.

I feel that as much as I appreciate vinyl, this album somehow for me doesn’t work on vinyl but is more suited to CD. Very long and vinyl format cuts it. Also the electronic and rockfish structure it has works better on CD. Vinyl is the format I prefer for listening to jazz especially from the 50s and 60s.

Hey geek, I know a guy who knew a guy who used to buy vinyl in packs. 5 records to keep in mint condition, and 1 to play. He planned to sell them later on, and then his brother stole it and sold it all. He used it to buy drugs. He's become a bit of an outcast, as everyone considers him a complete idiot and a jerk. (The brother, that is.) What do you think of that story? *Sighs*

[@shadejamison4118]

[@davidkornblatt991]

OK is really imho the album Pink Floyd should’ve made instead of THE WALL. It is truly a poignant album that suggests a fear of the 21st century that wasn’t totally unfounded or unfamiliar. AirBag is such a great song and No Surprises is the doorbell mashup hymn that is almost subconscious. Nothing on the WALL comes close to those two songs except comfortably numb. I really like the first 2/3rds of In Rainbows as well
