Okay if you guys pay any attention, you may have known I've been after this album for quite a while. I got it today and must say it's a whole lot more rock than I expected. Still fantastic as I expected, just favouring Kid A slightly more right now. I'll give it some time. |

do give it some time... i got it a long time ago beforre Kid A and it took time, with the knowledge of Kid A it may take longerr... |

Hmm it's usually difficult if you get into a band late on. Recognized No Suprises straight away, great song. |

Not doing too well for my first topic in about three days. |

tom yorke always said paranoid android was the perfect introduction to that album, because it was like all the other songs compressed into these 6 minutes. I disagree with that bit, but it is really a great introduction. I listened to that single non-stop in the weeks before the album came out! Amazing song, and (imo) not hard to get into. |

enjoy! a fabulous album, duh.... |

no surprises didn't make any sense to me until i saw the video. then it make perfect sense. |

I try not to watch videos, because it ruins the mental images I get in my head... but that's just me. I hate having an image already made up in advance to cloud my views. But I envy you, Xammax... I remember the first time I heard OK Computer. ... Well, actually I don't. But I'm sure I was a happy little boy. |

I bought this album around the time Karma Police was just out as a single... and although I always liked it right from the get go, it took me ages to full digest everything... it was one of the albums where every song was a favorite of mine for some period of time... and I still consider it to be one of the best albums around... good purchase man... |
||||||||

OK Computer is what got me into Radiohead actually from a friend's recommendation. its absolutely great...and no other rock band will hit where Radiohead is...today that is. *protects himself from getting hit by Ophecks*. but yeah...super special band. |

Back in time again huh? |

OK Computer was great, The Bends was decent, Pablo Honey was alright... but I absolutely hate Kid A and Amnesiac... total shit, both albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why are they shit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
youve been after it for quite a while? where are you where albums such as this are so elusive? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No-one can make a statement like that and not have anything to back it up with. Explain yourself right now mister. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kid a is weak, amnesiac is better, the bends & ok computer beat them both hands down |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't got no funds, man. So I got it from the library and intend on copying soon. I will buy it one day though, I don't feel like I truly have albums if I don't have the case. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what makes kid a weak? few people ever justify their dislike for the 2 recent radiohead albums, and even fewer every explain in detail. when they do it seems to be mostly contempt for how the media portrays radiohead and these albums -- the image, not the music itself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I've gone and started another heated Radiohead debate again. Good thing they're so much fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

just personal taste really is why I don't like them. I was more into their rock'n'roll type music, songs like Just, Airbag, Creep, and so on... Kid A is like this bizarre, poor attempt at making ambient music. but to be honest, I haven't heard all of Amnesiac, so to be fair, I withdrawl my comment on that one. Like I said though, it was just a matter of personal taste - I was expecting the usual rock'n'roll sound I'm used to from them, and Kid A was completely different from that. I'm not saying it's bad to change or try different things, just didn't think it worked that well personally for them. |

"them" referring to Kid A and Amnesiac |
||||||||
|
|

Fair enough. |

i already have in the previous radiohead thread last week do i have to justify why i like the other 2 albums better? kid a only has a few tracks i like. i play that album the least out of all of them. the national anthem just sounds like a jam to me. its apalling. its dull. its not very good. i don't like it very much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some good rock songs on the last 2 albums: -optimistic -in limbo -i might be wrong -knives out -trans-atlantic drawl (b-side) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kid a - 6/10 - there's just some really poor tracks i feel that ruin it. i just can't play it all the way through you never elaborated on this. what makes the tracks so poor (outside of national anthem)? to me the songs sound purposely desolate and barren, i don't think they were going for uptempo rock songs and just failed miserably. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's very true. i don't think they tried doing something new and just sucked at it. i just didn't happen to like it all that much, wasn't my kind of thing, nor what i usually would've expected from a Radiohead album that's what i think about it anyhow, i dunno about earthleakage |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always liked radiohead for their clever elaborate but subtle melodies. i appreciated that they tried something new. it sounded like they were trying too hard. it just didn't work. amnesiac was better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I disliked the National Anthem at first, but now I feel it's one of the best tracks.. I love creative chaos.. anyway I think Kid A is their best. I really don't like Radiohead that much. Thom Yorke gets on my nerves. Amnesiac is just like a Kid A with an uncreative, I'm outta ideas vaccine. OK Computer is good though. Paranoid Android combines the best and worst of that album. Subterrainean Homesick Alien just makes the album though. Haven't heard much pre OK stuff.. but Creep is unbearable, I can't see how anyone likes it. I'm glad Thom Yorke admitted to being sorry he worite it, or something. I'm also glad kid606 tore it to shreds.. right, tits? :) |
||||||||

|
|
some poor guy's a capella cover of it actually anyway, RH have always hated and resented creep... it's not even representative of their first album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
radiohead is absolutely brilliant! OK Computer is one of their best albums. I love Subterranean Homesick Alien, Fitter Happier, Climbing Up the Walls, Exit Music (For a Film), and everything else. Kid A and Amnesiac are in a totally different mood, but are equally as good if not better. :) |
||||||||

"but I absolutely hate Kid A and Amnesiac... total shit, both albums" i shit on your grrave coz you can't say that, you may not like them but Kid A is NOT shit by any strretch of the imagination. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Climbing up the walls is beautiful once you get to the guitar bit. hmmmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean that bit nearr the end...? if so, yeah i agrrree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hang on I'll put it on... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Well said Anus, but you might be taking it a bit far with the whole grave thing. Okay getting into OKC a lot now, my only quibble is that that it's a lot more of a rock album than I expected. I was anticipating a hint towards Kid A's electronic stylings but it just isn't present. Come to think of it, despite the small bits variation and different rock styles, I don't see how the 'greatest album of all time' to a lot of people can be so set in one genre. Very good album though, gonna keep listening. |
||||||||
|
|

I can't tell the fucking songs apart in hindsight! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup that's the ticket. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno why you can't tell the songs apart. especially on a rock album (electro tends to sound more similar to me than rock). as for progression to kid a, i wrote this a couple years ago. i think you'll enjoy it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah TonyFish that bit turrns the song on its head |
||||||||

This is the best site in the world. Even though you mispelt gimmick. As for the songs sounding similiar, I don't really know. Haven't listening closely enough to it yet. |

misspelled. |

First Radiohead CD I ever bought was OK Computer after reading a review of it in the Sunday Times. Up to then I had never been concious of hearing anything by them before. Anyway, bought the CD, listened to it and *tried* to like it, but failed. Everything sounded the same and it got all tedious. Gave it another go and it started to grow on me, kept on listening until one day the whole thing just clicked and I slapped myself around a bit for not 'getting it' sooner. Now regard it as the best album ever released. As for Kid A and Amnesiac, I like them both a lot, except for In Limbo and Dollars & Cents. |

thanks. yea, i never spellcheck my pages cos they're always so full of band names, every word would be "misspelled".. go to the root page (/radiohead/) if you want similar info |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Will do. |
||||||||
|

Interesting. In Limbo & Dollars & Cents are two of my favorite songs from Kid A. :) I liked OK Computer as soon as I started listening to it. The only radiohead i had heard prior to buying it was paranoid Android & Karma police, and i was blown away by every other song on the album. I got it pretty soon after it came out. Truly a masterpiece. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's interesting too because Dollars & Cents isn't even on Kid A :-p |
||||||||

I used to loathe radiohead. I dunno it was just sooo fucking depressing. Then I borrowed 'the bends' off a friend in uni and I kinda totally connected with it and haven't looked back since... |
