It also tapped into a very late 90s zeitgeist of fear for the millennium and the way that technology was becoming a bigger part of everyone's lives, a kind of alienated feeling that's really well-captured on the album

It felt like the moment, I feel similarly about Blonde too, tho it's very personal there's something very 2010s about that album

never got into radiohead in general but tomorrow’s modern boxes >>>

Paranoid Android one of the GOAT songs

It’s a little dated now, so it kind of sounds silly to say in some regards, but at the time it did really open the doors for what we consider to be popular “indie” music today. It sold very well, is excellently produced, takes chances that works. It’s a very fine line between hits and experimental and they nailed it on the head. The lyrics and music, to me, were amplified in American culture from post 9/11 hysteria. Lot of “dystopian future society” messages that resonated at the time. And it’s a precursor for what comes later, Kid A, Amnesiac, In Rainbows all perfect albums.

They released the sessions and it’s like 50 hours of music. Super cool stuff in those if you ever get the chance to check it. The process that album went through alone is worth a study.

A bunch of nerds listened to it and suck each other off about it.

The people that dfw post-Kid A radiohead just tack all of radiohead’s post-Kid A accolades onto OKC. Lmao

ok computer jus got bare influence now whether it’s direct or indirect. there’s bare artists who be making songs that could be seen as i guess a continuation of that album for instance

HOLY S*** JOE BIDEN NJUST LIKED MY POST

Idk but I like this song

Bingo

So good. The angelic noises at the end. Chefs kiss

i’d say yes because the production and just tbh the vibe of the album in general like the lyrics videos etc was different to the alt rock scene in the 90s. at that point grunge was on its dying legs and niggas was wondering what was gonna happen to rock then ok computer comes along and shows you a different sound to britpop/ grunge.

Definitely has become a bit overrated and cliche…not even in my top 4 RH albums, but its a 10/10 and one of the best albums of all time

You’re a great poster and an even better American!

almost single handily birthed the 2000s indie rock scene too

Totally forgot about those videos each video for that album is INSANE

Karma Police definitely a top 5 video OAT

What’s bare influence/artists?

I've heard it twice now and idk it didn't really click, I get it was and is unique but idk it just doesnt pop out like that to me nothings really catchy or too outstanding as far as the writing
I want to like it tho

i’m british bare means “a lot”. so read it as “a lot of influence”

hypothetically you could make the same argument for No Surprises which is crazy

Underrated. You don’t prefer ANIMA?

tbh the album is a bit weird and there isn’t any songs to make you wanna replay it like that. it’s one of those albums i play in a certain mood

Oh
