OMG when I was at Sziget Fesztivál in Hungary, and Radiohead was the highlight performer, they started their show with this song! I couldn't believe that I was there, listening to one of the best and personal favourite bands...and the wonder is that they even sound better playing live.
I am in love with Radiohead but i really wish this wasn't the opening track for ok computer. Good song, not great, the remainder of the album is FLAWLESS. Paranoid Android is where it starts for me, but as a loyal listener i believe in listening to an album in its entirety.
I tried the 01 10 playlist and I used the 10 second crossfade and everything but to me it just seems like they blend because of the fact all the songs start and end quietly so of course it will sound blended. Some of the transitions were very abrupt to. I didn't see it as one album. I wish it was true but I just didn't get it.
@frenzythechicken people compare them because they are both from the UK. there's enough difference between them to pick them out but in some songs, Thom and Matt's vocal styles can be similar. as well as bass distortions
To any of these dicks you get on old music videos saying the 90s and 00s were shit for music, just mention Radiohead. Arguaby the greatest band of all time. Definitely released at least 2 of the best albums ever.
@jimmyhayers Not the greatest band ever imo, but still really amazing. A little overrated, but their stuff is so diverse that you just can't dislike them.
And anyone who says music from 1990 on sucks lives in a cave, hell, that's when it started getting good. Music really made a comeback in 2010 after a couple of years of mediocrity (2005-2009). But w/e it doesn't matter because this track is amazing!
@Oceangiraffe Yeah I mean there are other bands I would have to put alongside or above them such as Pink Floyd, Queen, Beatles etc but one thing is all those bands made at least one shit album. The only Radiohead album that isn't absolute genius is probably Pablo Honey but it was their debut and it's hardly shit haha.
@jimmyhayers I wouldn't say any of their albums are genius really. I do like them all (except for Hail to the Thief and King of Limbs) and Pablo Honey has some good tracks, but it was obviously before they refined their style. I think that it's great that they make such abstract music, but it's not always for me.
I guess I might be too hipster for this much abstractness, lol.
@Vincentskater1 fitter, happier is a questionable choice. i'd have to choose lucky or subterranean, or karma police. and i'd probably choose reckoner from rainbows
@elord85If I had a second option, it would be subterranean or Let Down. But I actually listen to Fitter, happier like a song... It gives me the chills. The depression in the lyrics!...How perfect life could be, but it's not,it brings to me an unwelcoming feeling of hopelessness. But faith too. And I used to think Reckoner was the most beautiful song by Radiohead,but then I listened to Nude more, and I think it's even better... It just brings me back to special place where I used to listen to it.
@kaisamsa Well, interlude or song, I listen to Fitter, Happier like it is a song... Which is very weird, but I love the rich lyrics to it.. It literally gives me chills. And paranoid android is amazing, but I have listened to it so much i have gotten tired of it. Sounds ridiculous, but I have actually gotten annoyed by that song.. Let Down and Climbing up the Walls are better songs in my opinion :P
@CristiaanC Interesting arrangement, I haven't heard anyone put Amnesiac as their favourite album. It is a great album. And Feral is my second favourite song on King of Limbs! I love it !
9 PEOPLE....yeah just shut up and listen to the wonderful music guys. Trolls are everywhere, but they're just like fairies... don't believe in them and they will all die:)
Radiohead over the course of 20 years have released so many different styles and sounds that it's like they're shapeshifters.
It's hard to believe the band that made Airbag is the same band that made Feral, which is the same band that made Stop Whispering, which is the same band that made How I Made My Millions, which is the same band that made Fasttrack, and on, and on, and on.
It's so exciting having a band that can release any style, and whatever they pick is done exquisitely.

The tenth song is about this man finally quietly and desperately accepting this fate.
The eleventh song is about this man realizing that given his fate, the most he could expect from a hero is the need to be saved.
The twelfth song is about that man finally realizing that he needs to be much more patient, in order to search inside himself to find his own happiness.
The seventh song is about that man feeling like he must now reprogram himself into a fitter happier being to receive better karma, as if guided by an instruction manual.
The eighth song is about that man looking to the political system for these instructions and finding that his identity is not very important to that system.
The ninth song is about that man feeling like this imposed fate has climbed it’s way inside his head and is now directing him.
The fourth song is about that man desperately wishing to escape from this reality of life, perhaps even through death, in a gloriously self-indulgent display akin to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
The fifth song is about that man feeling let down that he has no choice other than to stay with his given life.
The sixth song is about that man ironically joking that karma will undoubtedly catch up with him and then punish him for his previous angst and thanklessness for his own life.

Fucking gay song.This band sucks serious ass.There is nothing special about them and the vocalist sounds like a raped duck.All of their songs are repititive.Well,what do I expect from an Alternative Rock band?They are a disgrace to rock.They might be even worse than Gayplay(Coldplay).
@wassuppeeps It isn't the greatest album ever made music wise. It has to do with the mixing and mastering. I'm listening to this song through Beyerndynamic professional studio quality headphones and the only problems I hear are some minor spots of distortion which come from being a low quality version of the song. More than likely it's just MP3 garbage. Everything else, the vocal compression and subtle reverb fits perfectly. The guitars' reverb as well is phenomenal along with the use of panning
The way that it's mixed is excellent. The way that RHs work is mastered is very dense. You could argue it as a deliberate move for sound, or as just a byproduct of the loudness war. But I think the dense mix suits the tone of this album.
Favourite albums of all time: 1. OK Computer - Radiohead 2. Kid A - Radiohead 3. Disintegration - The Cure 4. Nevermind - Nirvana 5. The Bends - Radiohead 6. Revolver - The Beatles 7. Abbey Road - The Beatles 8. In Rainbows - Radiohead 9. Hail to the Thief - Radiohead 10. A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay
@Spinoraptorrex Google this: Joe Satriani Coldplay. They settled out of court for, I would imagine, A large sum of money, seeing as Coldplay made a bunch of money of that single.
haha why do you people even put icp and radiohead in the same sentence?!
haha it's simple ICP=CRAP
no wonder ICP have been placed num.1 on the worst artists of all time, that explains it all and radiohead have been placed in best artists lists around the world and this album has been calle the landmark album of the 90's
their album kid a has been called the best album of 2000's by many listeners and critics, ICP ARE THE CONTRARY,THEY HAVE BEEN PLACED ON WORST ARTISTS AND LISTS EVER
the song meaning is about a man who survives a car crash and then feels like he can take on the world, the lyric i'm back to save the earth means that and he compares his survival to great victories like WWll
ok all radiohead after Pablo Honey. Pablo Honey they were actually indie/grunge and awesome. Then they just hopped on the "weird" bandwagon trend thing and sucked.
@TheMetalMafia haha when thom yorke saw the mass critical accliam in the album he said wow, people actually understood all the sounds and textures we were trying to create unfortunaly not everyone, this album has been called the best album ever and if you don't like it you can take it or leave it cause you're not a real RH fan if you don't like OK computer and what, you their first album?
their album has been called the worst in their catalog and i agree it does suck including creep
@FuzzyMcDoodles that's a strange thing. You don't have to understand words to enjoy the music, but if you look up the lyrics maybe it will help you appreciate it? IDK, good luck either way :p
don't even act like you like jazz, it's pretty obvious you put kind of blue on there just because it's a very instrumental record in the history of music; not because you like it

@Adam0209M I don't know man. Plug in Baby is a really sick sick sick sick tune that I play on the guitar every day of the week. Bliss is pretty addicting and Matt's solo in New Born makes me jizz in my pants. Citizen Erased is a masterpiece. I can't find any album in the world that I like every song in the album- Except for Origin of Symmetry.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@koalashooter1 Yeah, Origin of Symmetry is one of the greatest albums of all time. Maybe it's just not for you or you just haven't found them, but I find albums like "Grace" by Jeff Buckley, ANY Sigur Rós album, Radioheads albums (particularly Kid A, OK Computer, and Hail to the Theif), "The Eraser" by Thom Yorke. and so much more have flawless albums. :)

@Adam0209M yeah, i used to download all the albums my bro told me from mininova (RIP), but they took it off and I ran out of music to get because theres no way in hell that im buying music... (lol). my bro told me one thing like 2 years ago. he was like, "Muse and Tool are the greatest bands ever." and here i am
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@koalashooter1 lol I know how you feel, I usually just buy the occasional album from the bands I really really like. You should try out mediafire, just type in the artist, album and mediafire into you google search and you should get it pretty much straight away.
love the drumming on this. that phil guy should be appreciated more and i think he is, he was on the greatest drummers list and with good reason. no dave grohl tho...
For me, Ok Computer wasn't an album that you could just sit down and listen to it through once and understand it- once it grew on me, it struck me of how deep it was.
@carefulwiththat that is true my friend, the first time heard the album it was like every song had a different emotion and by the end of the album my mind was spinning so since then i have praised the album and the band and consider this album the best of the 90's (even better than nevermind, that album is overrated) and possibly the best album ever (let's not get too carried away, shall we?!)
They`re fucking marketing geniuses, they can make their meek-minded morons move mountains if they so pleased. They market to people who can`t think for themselves but still want to be thought of as `unique` instead of what they really are, which is dull social failures that blame everyone else for their shortcomings. ICP themselves, they know exactly what they`re doing and they are no threat to anyone with any degree of intelligence.
Fucking Morons...Yeah Stupid People Drugs Is In Music So THey Can Control Any1 in there...When I Was On Them I Begged For a SMall Dose , Or Some pills...That Way They Made Me Do Things I Did Not Want To Do...And The Rob Activity IS a Crime...And What Causes It Is a Crime...SO Fuck ANYONE who Believes Drugs Are Good Or Do Good...Fuck Be Honest With Yourself...If Your Kid Was On Them , You Would Act Different...So Don't Act Si Cool And Mighty...Drugs Are afucking pestilence in this world...Jeez!!!
I agree with you 99% Friend but it's not in every case that it is destructive. It can be something much more benefiting for a human in some ways but that is a different subject and an area that most people that have used drugs have either never experienced or did it in an uncontrolled environment using all the wrong drugs . So yes you are correct in almost all cases except for a tiny few areas. The problem is the kind of drugs and the abuse is what is destructive.
well ok Lemmy is Ok ...and he uses Speed...Not the heroine...and Cocaine really boosts up your mind...for the period that does not hurt you...bit extencive use...is the same as Slow Death...so that's why i quit using them...anywayz any1 has his own experience and oppinion...so....
does radiohead thom york ect??? use drugs ..i have every cd ...i suspect some thc lsd shrooms idk lol ????? but Im not pos....wtf is goin on in the band???????????????????
Ed said he did shrooms, notably, he said he was on them at an awards show. also in Meeting People is Easy, at the end, you can see him rolling a joint
why does it matter if they use drugs? they're fucking amazing... plus, drugs can really open up your mind, probably part of why their music is so good.
Hell YEAH it matters....Everone In This World Who Thinks That Drugs Are a Necesserity In Music the are ALL Wrong...I am A Musician My Shelf And An Ex-Drug User...I Was Addicted From My Very First Years...Back When I was !4-15..
I now Know That Those Things Do Not Open Up Ur Mind...They Only Destroy The Brain U Have Left To Think....So U Keep On Doing That Thing..The Only "enlightening" Drug Is 100% Pure Cocane( Not good at english) That Boost Up Yourshelf Far Over Ur Limits...Then Destroyz U...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if your a musican and don't do drugs you probably suck and aren't gonna get famous. your gonna attract gay non drug user fans and thats what will bring you down. all good bands had their share of drugs. led zeppelin red hot chili peppers stone temple pilots pink floyd. just look at the jonas brothers or like green day or something. fuckin gay
Oh Look Mister Fake..."Look Guys I Have A Rare Vid Of Dyrdek Sk8n!!" U Suck Man..I am A Fucking Drummer And If Not Doing Drugs Anymore Is A Problem To You...Keep It To Yourself...You Are The Only One Believing That Drugs Do Good To Music...Judas Priest Are Huge And None Of Them Do Drugs...Shithead...Guys Like You Disgust Me That Encourage People To Take Drugs,,,Man I Was On Them...Get A Life Than Just TRYING to Get Attention...Judas , Accept , Even Metallica Are No Small Fries My "Dick" F(r)iend
bro i was kinda joking around and people who get into drugs are losers but the ones that can get off drugs are the ones that always succeed in music. a great example is john frusciante or jimmy page. but dude judas priest and metallica? if those are your only sources to back up your point then i dont think you should've wasted time on replying to me. and my rob dyrdek video is sick. i almost have 2,000 views. people are so dumb
well if you wanna Comment on Something I Say Bro...Cause i Already Told You I was on them..Stop Joking Around Then And Be Serious..
And Fuck Man Metallica And Priest Are Huge...Much Bigger Than Zeps And Floyd...Not Better Read First...Bigger...and what is this So "sick" about that vid...anyway it's not my problem what you have in mind with that...but Saying that i will fail without knowing a Crap about me...sorry man...but you are just a dick...if you were not serious then plz BE next time..jeez

More than likely it's just MP3 garbage. Everything else, the vocal compression and subtle reverb fits perfectly. The guitars' reverb as well is phenomenal along with the use of panning

@Midfield401
The way that it's mixed is excellent. The way that RHs work is mastered is very dense. You could argue it as a deliberate move for sound, or as just a byproduct of the loudness war. But I think the dense mix suits the tone of this album.

their album kid a has been called the best album of 2000's by many listeners and critics, ICP ARE THE CONTRARY,THEY HAVE BEEN PLACED ON WORST ARTISTS AND LISTS EVER

@Adam0209M I don't know man. Plug in Baby is a really sick sick sick sick tune that I play on the guitar every day of the week. Bliss is pretty addicting and Matt's solo in New Born makes me jizz in my pants. Citizen Erased is a masterpiece. I can't find any album in the world that I like every song in the album- Except for Origin of Symmetry.

@koalashooter1 Yeah, Origin of Symmetry is one of the greatest albums of all time. Maybe it's just not for you or you just haven't found them, but I find albums like "Grace" by Jeff Buckley, ANY Sigur Rós album, Radioheads albums (particularly Kid A, OK Computer, and Hail to the Theif), "The Eraser" by Thom Yorke. and so much more have flawless albums. :)

They`re fucking marketing geniuses, they can make their meek-minded morons move mountains if they so pleased. They market to people who can`t think for themselves but still want to be thought of as `unique` instead of what they really are, which is dull social failures that blame everyone else for their shortcomings. ICP themselves, they know exactly what they`re doing and they are no threat to anyone with any degree of intelligence.

I agree with you 99% Friend but it's not in every case that it is destructive. It can be something much more benefiting for a human in some ways but that is a different subject and an area that most people that have used drugs have either never experienced or did it in an uncontrolled environment using all the wrong drugs . So yes you are correct in almost all cases except for a tiny few areas. The problem is the kind of drugs and the abuse is what is destructive.
