OK COMPUTER

This album is great, special to me.Sincerely, 1997 brought us the last history's classic disc.From that year on, we had THE MARS VOLTA's "FRANCES THE MUTE", SPOCK'S BEARD's "SNOW", RADIOHEAD's "KID A".but they aren't quite special as " OK COMPUTER" is. The disc begins with a powerful introduction, "Airbag"( "an airbag saved my life."), one of the best recordings in the album. Then, we have what I consider to be the best RADIOHEAD song ever: the magnum opus "Paranoid Android", divided into three parts: the first one, a normal, quite depressive, acoustic mellody, that "prepares" us for the great explosion and profusion of strange sounds and guitar riffs and solos( try to listen to this song at 3:15 and not to be touched in some way.).All this "explosion" gives place at 3:30 to a very depressive and sad ( "come on rain don on me."), and very,very emotional and mellancholic part, and then.at 5:30, we have the return of that explosion, concluding the terrific song. Track 3, "Subterranean Homesick Alien", also good, brings us a sad and depresseed Thom asking aliens to get him out of this planet. "Exit Music (For A Film)",a normal acoustic and mellancholic song, but also very good in some way, tells us to "keep,keep breathing" to try to survive to this sad world. "Let Down" has a pop mellody, easy to be played on radios and mtvs, but has a lyric full of screams of delusion, preparing us to. .the excellent and beautifully/emotionally played "Karma Police", one of this album's greatest moments (I think only "Paranoid Android" is better), and alerts us that "this is what you get when you mess with us". After this song, we have "Fitter Happier", "sung" by "Fred", a voice synthesizer( Thom YORKE gave it this name), that is like a doctor telling you how to be happier, living a boring life full of rules, that can lead us to a much worse route, as it can be noted in this song's end. Right after this, YORKE acts as politician, claiming about the IMF and other questions related to this field, in the plain rock "Electioneering". After all this journey, Thom is already "Climbing Up The Walls", title of the next song, and noticing "No Surprises", the other song after. These songs are good, too, but they don't call my attention too much, as "Paranoid.","Karma Police", "Airbag" and "Lucky", that comes right after "No Surprises", such a great song that introduces us to the conclusion of this RADIOHEAD's masterpiece, "The Tourist', melodic Jonny GREENWOOD's composition, that makes us believe, in the beginning, that everything is okay, we ended up this journey well.but its conclusion certainly doesn't make us sure of that.
