OK COMPUTER, Radiohead's third album, is the bombastic follow-up to 1995's sleeper hit THE BENDS, which left critics and listeners as impressed with the band's ability as they were curious about their potential.

Pros: Guitar work, vocals, subject matter, "Lucky", "Paranoid Android", all music
Cons: May be too depressing or too complex for some listeners

Pros: A 90s Classic...like having an orgasm.

Pros: Countless. Simply as profound a music album can get. And sounds finger lickin' good too.
Cons: Depressing. Tip: Listen, consume for 30 minutes and then listen to something by The Carpenters.
Bottom Line:
An incredible, indispensable album. Simply superb music, wonderfully wry and penetrating lyrics and oh so much to say. Future music should aspire to this, and maybe the future itself. Read More
