Comments:
"OK Computer," Radiohead's third album released in 1997, is usually considered one of rock history's most important albums, At the same time it is also a milestone in personal development of the group being as a link between the classical ”progressive” rock of the previous albums; especially brilliant "The Bends", and the more electronic direction which the group persecuted on the successors "Kid A" and "Amnesiac".
Parts of "OK Computer" can be somewhat challenging listening - no "easy listening". On the other hand, you find a good handful of the group's greatest songs (my personal assessment), such as "Lay Down," "No Surprises", "Karma Police", "Lucky" and the magnificent waltzing finale "The Tourist".
It should be no secret that I found it difficult to retain interest in the group after "Kid A" and "Amnesiac", and although they have partially moved closer to the starting point, they have not yet reached the heights of "The Bends" and "OK Computer".
