I think it absolutely fits in perfectly with OKC. Part of the reason I love Radiohead is how unpredictable and varied their music style is, even within the same record. I appreciated this bit of fast-paced guitar rock sandwiched in between the gloomier tracks.
@fede018 It might not work as part of an album, but as a standalone I find it to be quite an invigorating somewhat aggressive creature that I keep lending my ears to. :)
@85antoniosalazar Saturday night Live, its a famous skit involving Blue Oyster cult and Christopher Walken, I doubt you will find it on youtube, since alot of SNL stuff is taken off.
@85antoniosalazar listen closely and hear the cowbell in this song if you don't understand but A85antoniosalazar did a good job explaining where it originated.
this is the only radiohead song i like so i listen to a lot of QOTSA, but Dance Gavin Dance really makes everything else sound like shit. I didnt like em at first but they grew on me so paracitically, harder and faster than any catchy tune.
@jailbreakir REALLy? are you retarded? i know it's an album lol, just the whole album is so good, as a joke i say ok computer is because i love all of them...you have been served.
@Mongomaniac94 you said it was a song, calling me a retard over me correcting you is kind of ridiculous, and me not knowing of your inside joke doesnt make me a retard either, so no, i dont think i have been served
@LolaLavonda oh hey thanks music buff, i definitely thought this was blue oyster cult and wasn't simply referencing the fact that there is a massive amount of cowbell in this song... thanks for clearing things up
@jakeowns07 oh wow thanks for overreacting, cuz i totally thought you had mistook radiohead for blue oyster cult and was trying to set you straight.... right.
i hate hate HATE when people say this is one of the weaker songs on the album. I love this song, i think its one of their better 'loud' tracks, the cowbell, guitar, 'western' feel in the beginning, vocal in the chorus.. its all SO good
utterly agree, its one of my favorite radiohead songs, these rockers are so few and far between. This aibum needed a furious rocker, and like kid a had Optomistic, this one has Electroneering.
I love this song, because it was written about the 1997 election.
why do you fools argue so much over the dumbest shit? enjoy the music and let people interpret shit the way youd like to, on your own with your own interpretation
OK Computer as a whole is a pretty incredible technical achievement, but I never really could connect to it on a personal level like I could with, say, (don't shoot me) Muse's Origin of Symmetry. These two songs, though, were what I wish the whole album was like. Karma Police was just deep, layed, powerful, and beautiful, and this is a nice, loud, noisy rock song with political lyrics. The way I like it.
Personally nothing Muse has done has been about very much. OKC is such an everyman record, it has something to say, and each song is another part of it's image, its a manifesto of an album, like Definatly Maybe. The fear of technology and the isolation it brings, the overbearing parania of the modern world, retirement is no solice, all you can hope is that one day the world will stop being so crazy and slow down.
@MsDeadCorpse I recently listening to OK Computer again... and it was an awesome experience. I connect to this album much more than I did before. It ties for The Bends as my favorite Radiohead album. As for greatest album of all time, I disagree... but it's close. I personally prefer Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and, again, Origin of Symmetry. Just personal taste I guess.
As for Muse... I disagree with their songs not being about very much. One word: Hoodoo. Among other songs, too.
Many think that Karma Police is the "cornerstone" of the album. I disagree, I think the slow pace set by Karma Police and Fitter Happier leads to Electioneering's loud sound, which is the real centerpiece.
Cold War Kids does a cover of this that is 100 times more listenable... maybe I'm saying that because CWK is my favorite band? No offence Radiohead but this is so Cowbell-y! haha
It's up in the foreground of my mind and everything, like some guy has walked into my memories of this song and intentionally started playing the cowbell part much louder.
I think that Electioneering is a really great, fast, concise, rock song. It begins like some kind of off-kilter alarm, tambourine and wailing wind. Thom Yorke finishes his lyrics pretty much without any warning and then there is that build up of anticipation from 2.35 to 2.51 followed by that instrumental ending - beautiful. Some other songs on OK Computer rock out at various points but Electioneering is the exception in doing in throughout - a vital inclusion on OK Computer to me.
@TheTrancereligious5 Thanks!I've been writing (in an amateur capacity) about music, videogames, TV, film, modern architecture.. for about 14 years and you can see from Amazon reviews that some writers are really good.I might try to get on a magazine one day but it would be very competitive in the internet age and it obviously pales in comparison to the creative effort and talent required to make what is reviewed. Enjoying what has been created and ways of looking at it and presenting it.
@Picnicl I am pretty sure that the most guys don't make it in a mag because they don't go for it. Just have a hit at it and see what happens. Pick some of your best reviews, let some people help you on decision making. Maybe write another one on something new. Maybe an internship will do it and so on just START :D
And when you really made it someday write an email to let me know what mag I should read from then on ;) (ps maybe dont start with the biiig mags)
@Picnicl true OK's got some of Radiohead's best rock out moments I think, Paranoid Android mid section, the Exit Music climax, Climbing up your walls, lucky at points,homesick alien chorus sorta, even the tourist towards the end....am I rambling again? no no definately not
I was a Nirvana fan before I got into Radiohead. But let me put it this way. The day I listened to OK Computer was the day I threw away all my other CD's in the fucking trash, including Nevermind. OK Computer was that fucking good. It made everything I owned sound like complete shit.
@SasquatchTestes those are exactly my feelings.... I too feel that radiohead is incredibly polished music and does make other rock bands sound like un-finished articles by comparison. but you must remember that nirvana is a completely different genre. i could listen to metallica, then listen to ok computer and be convinced that metallica was music made by philistines with a gruff voiced talentless chump as a lead singer, but that would be comparing two bands with completely different styles...
@SasquatchTestes sorry but ok computer is dare I say it, quite overrated compared to other radiohead albums. I'd probably rank nevermind at least alongside it, but radiohead have much much better stuff since ok computer.
@SasquatchTestes the day you start throwing out all your Cd's is the day you become a radiohead fan boy, you have to keep your mind open to other artists... and other radiohead albums
@Mongomaniac94 what i was going to say to him, the reason radiohead enjoys so much success is because they take influence from many different kinds of music which is what i believe people who like music should do also
how can you compare radiohead with nirvana two different band man grunge vs alt.exp.rock are you drunk? comapre em with someone on their field like muse ... do not compare at all better
@jibblychupos Why don't you do a little research before making ignorant comments like this. This song was on "ok computer" which came out in 1997, 3 years before anyone even knew who coldplay was, and 8 years before "twisted logic" came out. So who exactly is ripping who off again.
@jibblychupos this ALBUM came out in 1997 dumbshit. coldplays was in 2003. radiohead came out in like 1992 i dont see coldplay makin classic music like this
This has been a bit of 'victory' music for me. Stuck it on after I finished a couple of Cisco exams that I spent a year or more studying for each. Feels awesome popping out of the test centre and then sticking that one on.
@powerbackeyesitsme listen to paranoid android. thats not your average rock band. if you say you havent heard better from them, youve probably listened to like 2 songs
you're all a bunch of pieces of shit. u post all these prejudice comments all the time on utube and then wave in person. i rather join the illuminati then get trampled by your selfish feet in panic. FUCK YOU
when i was younger my dad used to play their albums to me all the time, im 15 now and radiohead is like all i can listen to because their music is so amazing
@sajsSAMynwa1892 They do, there has been some brilliant albums lately, Haven't you heard In Rainbows? And this is definitely a canidate for one of the best albums EVER
I was 12 years old when OK Computer came out. It was one of the most fundamentally important albums of my upbringing. I owned 2 CDs when I was 13, this one and Siamese Dream.
@pselley When I was 13, Radiohead was just about all I listened to. I had all their cds and all but one of my friends said they weren't good, and that it was weird for me to be listening to them at 13. But they're so good. ((:
people like to use "mainstream" as bad because the bands they liked in the first place change their style to stay in the spot light becoming a band the fans didnt want to hear
This song kicks ass brombit. I like muse, if some radiohead fan's bothered to actually listen to some of muses stuff they would know that matt can actually write some very creative songs. Radiohead however is overall better lyrically and musically. But I think that both groups of fans need to stop bitching. TouretteEd2- none of muses songs sound remotely like this, so i doubt they are trying to copy it.
Alright well... lots of band have "rock n roll" riffs, barely any bands don't use effects. Most bands have loud drums. and falsettos aren't uncommon. Well done. And if you really loved radiohead and hated muse, you wouldn't complain that muse is trying to copy radiohead because that says that you see similarities between the bands.
You're talking about their "genre". I'm talking about their style. Listen to "Sober" or "Hyper Music" and tell me they do not fall on the same category as this song. I'm not saying they are the same songs, but christ, the similarities are there!
I somewhat like Muse. I enjoy listening to songs like "Yes Please" and "Escape", but It seems like in every song they do, they are trying to show off how great they are in writing fashy/epic riffs. They're just way too pretentious for my taste.
OMG O___O so that's where psychofreud got the lyrics

plenty of bands DO make great albums. You just need to dig further than your top 20 charts now.

I was 12 years old when OK Computer came out. It was one of the most fundamentally important albums of my upbringing. I owned 2 CDs when I was 13, this one and Siamese Dream.

@pselley Ok Computer at 13, that is a little heavy :P
Renegademaster15 2 years ago
@pselley When I was 13, Radiohead was just about all I listened to. I had all their cds and all but one of my friends said they weren't good, and that it was weird for me to be listening to them at 13. But they're so good. ((:

people like to use "mainstream" as bad because the bands they liked in the first place change their style to stay in the spot light becoming a band the fans didnt want to hear

99.9% of Muse's matrial is better than this song.
It can easily be the most boring of RH's songs for me

This song kicks ass brombit. I like muse, if some radiohead fan's bothered to actually listen to some of muses stuff they would know that matt can actually write some very creative songs. Radiohead however is overall better lyrically and musically. But I think that both groups of fans need to stop bitching. TouretteEd2- none of muses songs sound remotely like this, so i doubt they are trying to copy it.

are you kidding?
The flashy, swagerring, "rock n roll" riff, the guitar effects, the driving loud drums, and the dramatic fasletto during the chorus...
Tell me thats not Muse.
touretteEd2 2 years ago
does that include anything from "Black Holes and Revelations"?
Muse sounds like Radiohead, so how can it be boring?
touretteEd2 2 years ago
Alright well... lots of band have "rock n roll" riffs, barely any bands don't use effects. Most bands have loud drums. and falsettos aren't uncommon. Well done. And if you really loved radiohead and hated muse, you wouldn't complain that muse is trying to copy radiohead because that says that you see similarities between the bands.
dredeye 2 years ago
You're talking about their "genre". I'm talking about their style. Listen to "Sober" or "Hyper Music" and tell me they do not fall on the same category as this song. I'm not saying they are the same songs, but christ, the similarities are there!
I somewhat like Muse. I enjoy listening to songs like "Yes Please" and "Escape", but It seems like in every song they do, they are trying to show off how great they are in writing fashy/epic riffs. They're just way too pretentious for my taste.
touretteEd2 2 years ago 2
Alright, that's a respectable reason for not listening to them.

I like many songs of Radiohead, and many of Muse. I just don't like THIS song. (I don't care that it's an ancient comment...)

Muse is a joke. Muse's singer sounds exactly like Gwen Stefani when you move the pitch up a little bit, look it up. It's hilarious.
