i listened to ok computer in its entirety yesterday and have been listening to it since. i had of course heard and loved the album before yesterday but due to the mp3 digital age (ironically), i have taken to listening to music on a song by song basis, which is unfortunate when concerning radiohead. the album is amazing in the fact that each song is so good, and yet the next song is even better. the build up is insanely intense and the last song is of course the best. but then again, so is the first song, and the second song, etc. in a technologically uncertain time, the CD still resounds, even more fully than it did upon its release in 1997. the songs sing of alienation, dehumanization through technology, globalization, loneliness, mundaneness. quite a dark CD but amazing.... simply amazing.
the preceeding paragraph can easily be applied to any radiohead album. they are my favorite band and i cannot wait for the new CD to come out.
