"Ahead of its time” is just a colloquialism. Each song ever recorded is vibing with the cultural and musical context of its era. However, when personal computers at home were just fancy gadgets for kids, Kraftwerk indeed had the foresight to see a world where we're living in a digital age. We, regardless of the revival of vinyl records, even listen to music from platforms! 

And in terms of sound, "Computer World" laid down the groundwork for genres like IDM and techno.

Sure, 1978's Die Mensch-Maschine is a special album in its own right, but this is a thread about those 80s records that are "ahead of their time."
