OK COMPUTER

After a hard deliberation I found on Ok Computer a good album. Maybe it's not the kind of music that I enjoy best but it's a solid effort. I'll start to say that Radiohead made a lot of controversy about their inclusion on PA but certainly they are progressive and that's not in terms of discussion right now.

About the album it starts with Airbag a very decent song, but the next it's the highlight of the entire album; Paranoid Android became a hit and not only because the commercial potential that the song had in that time also because it was very well composed and arrangement; definitively a progressive song (special mention to the mellow voice of Tom Yorke and the background vocals). Radiohead was on the peak of their rock phase.

The next pair of songs pass unnoticed and then a beautiful suit starts "let down" one of my favorites of Radiohead (Not too amazing in terms of composition but the sensations that brings to my mind are kind of nostalgic). Then starts "Karma police" a very well known piece for everyone, I can only say it's a pretty decent song and that's all. Another beautiful and full hope song its "No surprises" the voice of Tom its wonderful here and the catchy and melancholic melody flows slow and beautiful; really a great suit. The closing track shows again the versatility of Tom Yorke voice and it's an excellent ending for a great and emotive album.

Ok computer and Kid A are the most progressive records in Radiohead's Career; the first shows a more rock orientation phase and with less electronic effects.

In general it's a good contribution to the modern progressive era and I give it 3.5 stars, a very good album and also a great contribution to any (modern) progressive rock collection. Bamba
