5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, moving, brilliant. 25 July 2001
Format:Audio CD
A friend of mine once said that Radiohead were the kind of band who it was easy to admire, and yet difficult to like. I always agreed, preferring the accessibility of bands like Oasis and The Stereophonics to the intensive coolie labour it could sometimes take to listen to Radiohead. Then, last summer, I went to see Radiohead play at Victoria Park in London. And I saw the light.

This album can ask a lot of the listener, but if you can really give into the music and just let it carry you off, you can become so consumed by these songs that you find yourself suddenly opening your eyes at the end of a track, blinking in surprise at the fact that you are actually back in the real world. They tear your soul open, and force you to confront those feelings for which you probably don't even have a name. Despair perhaps, numbness perhaps, but above all, the way it can sometimes feel just to be a human in the 20th Century.

It's hard to pick a stand out track (even the pretty much tune free "Fitter, Happier" makes for compelling listening), but "Exit Music (for a film)" is one of the most touching, fragile and beautiful songs you will ever hear. When you consider Thom Yorke wrote it as a soundtrack to the end of Romeo and Juliet, the lyrics become even more intense; "Today, we escape, we escape". "Don't lose your nerve. I can't do this - alone".

If you have ever felt alone, disenfranchised, pointless or depressed, this record will connect with you in a way you may have never thought possible. And that contact will make you feel better. Less alone. It makes you feel like there are other people out there who feel like this. It's a record which takes you on a journey through the darker parts of the soul. A record about how it feels to be human....

Oh, and it's very, very good (did I mention that?). Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars thinking of a title is a little hard 6 Jan 2004
Format:Audio CD
i discovered the wonders of Radiohead when reading a certain magazines recent top 100 poll in which OK Computer was 2nd, The Bends 4th and Kid A 37th, or something like that. I had always had an impression of OK Computer as being a weird album of electronics and machines - this was prior to actually hearing any songs, a reader of this magazine had commented 'it is like floating down a river and being hit by a marshmallow'. Well. if you say so. As a result i purchased The Bends, Radioheads magnificent 2nd album, a 100 times better than their debut Pablo Honey, which while good in parts (Creep, Anyone Can Play Guitar and Prove Yourself) lacking a general consistency, that characterised their next 2, to make it a great album. So, The Bends proved to be an inspired buy packed with intelligent lyrics, mental guitar but also emotion. I then resolved to pluck up the courage to buy OK Computer. I still hadn't heard any songs - not having the music channels and they are rarely, if ever, played on the radio but i like to take risks and often this is the best way and i bought the album. Now if you are still with me i will explain why it is probably my favourite record ever. My first listen left me slightly unconvinced (as many do) however, my concentration on it was limited as i attempted to revise for my physics gcse. The next day i went for a walk with the dog and took my walkman loaded with a OK. Now if you ever want to get into a cd this is the best way - on your walkman. The music pumps straight into your ears, other sounds are blocked out and yopu begin to hear the little intricacys that make albums great - hidden guitar, wondrous vocals, a surprising drum beat....

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep coming back to this.... 15 Feb 2012
Format:Audio CD
The Summer this album came out I completely overdosed on it. I made it my soundtrack to a pc-game called doom which was popular around the same time. By the end of the Summer I felt my voodoo doll had been pricked with needles containing some grade-A heroin. Subsequently, it was an amazing high go to a Radiohead live gig in Dublin, standing as if in a wind tunnel, barely able to stand my ground as this amazing music washed over me. It's legalised drugs, simple as that.

One of the greatest surprises of my life came when I loved this album on first listen. As a devoted follower of conventional, mostly mainstream music I wasn't expecting to at all, nor am I in as settled a position to rate it amongst all musical greats, not being as deeply familiar with many of its apparent indie influences (Costello, The Cure etc) as many others will be. But it strikes even me that this is quite unlike most other albums ever heard, and it clearly represents a stylistic hybrid unmatched by most all of their peers.
Lyrically, Thom Yorke draws up tainted, self-hating landscapes with more than a passing nod to Bowie, complete with some beautifully twisted and timeless touches. Musically, they're perfectly sound with Godrich's production weaving everything spectacularly - as a drummer I particularly picked up on the gifted rhythmwork of Phil Selway. (Airbag and SHA are great examples of abstract beat experimentation)
Highlights? Paranoid Android - undoubtedly one of the greatest tracks to come out of the 90's, with its Bohemian Rhapsody-esque amalgamation of three separate songs and its scathing, powerful taunts pervading throughout its lyrical structure. Exit Music (for a Film), arguably the album's most beautiful composition, is the last desperate scrape for dignity of a person who, crippled by the pain of love, has tumbled inescapably into self-destruction. To listen to the build-up into a high-pitched tormented wail with Yorke descending almost pathetically into "we hope that you choke" is a truly heartbreaking sound. No Surprises similarly is a festival of tiredness and hopelessness, with an almost ironic use of child-like xylophone and a more obvious political edge made clear right in the middle.
Lows?
