OK COMPUTER

Thumbs down on York and the bunch. I've heard this album over and over in the last six years, in many different states of mind, emotions, attitutes, etc., and I don't even own the damn thing, so take me seriously as someone who has acutally given this album a chance and hasn't come to a dramatic conclusion after 3 or 4 listens. When I go over to someone's house, one of the first things I'm drawn to is their album collection. More often than not, this hauntingly produced, oversold "masterpiece" always rears its sneaky head out of the middle of a rack of albums, and is usually their favorite of the bunch. Truth be told, this is prog for dummies. It breaks barriers, yes, but those barriers were set by awful bands, CEO's, meaningless ratings, and most other forms of bullshit that keep really good music off the shelves. If mainstream got any tamer, Pooh Goes on a Picnic would end up being labeled prog by the robots shopping at Sam Goody. I just don't want to hear this album again and am sick of hearing "amazing" and Radiohead in the same sentence. If droning, uninteresting banter is now labeled amazing then get me out. I give OK Computer one star because it's the best radiohead album out there. Amnesiac is horrible, by the way. In any case, get it outta here!!!
