OK Computer Is a Classic Album

It’s often the case with good music where you don’t realize how important an album was until a few years have gone by and you realize the significance that the music had. Sometimes, a band can set the tone for quite some time to come with its work.

Radiohead produced its third full length, following up on the success of Pablo Honey and The Bends. This alternative rock band was one of the more successful of the decade, but neither of the band’s first two albums compared to OK Computer.

Many critics call this one of the greatest albums of all time. Radiohead’s sound was revolutionary at the time, and everything about the album was original and inventive. It was originally crafted, the music had its own unique sound, and the music videos were superb.

Amazingly, the album sounds just as relevant today, and their message was spot on. This world is simply being taken over by computers and technology, and Radiohead had the foresight to see that coming.

While just about every track on the album is phenomenal, there are definitely some standouts that are remembered more so than others. Paranoid Android, the band’s first release, was an epic song, as were Fade Out and No Surprises.

Thom Yorke crafted a set of beautiful songs on OK Computer and this album was the first of many that followed a continued evolution in terms of the band’s music. Amazingly, this album still sounds fresher than much of the new music that comes out today.

In a world where the music we listen to is constantly evolving and developing, an album like OK Computer is a rarity.

If you haven’t listened to it in a while, throw the CD back into your player and give it a listen. Not only will it bring back some memories, but you’ll realize how truly great this album was, and always will be.
