I heard about how great OKC was. I must say that it is the most original album I've ever heard. From the opening guitar line of "Airbag" to the bell ding at the end of "The Tourist", this album blew me away. You will need to listen to this album repeatedly to appreciate it ... because with each repeat you hear something different than you did before that causes you to appreciate it even more. Wow! What an increadible effort by Radiohead. The production is first quality and I would venture to say that it is the album of the 90s. My only regret is that I didn't buy this until almost 3 years after it came out (I could have started to enjoy it earlier). Warning: this is not a pop record. These guy are serious musicians and very talented. Thom Yorke is a wonderful songwriter. There is really not one bad song on this album. All are great and stick out on their own. If you like music that is very diverse (the song "Paranoid Android" is as diverse as you will every get in one song alone and quite beautiful), then I recommend you buy OK Computer. I've never hear anything like it ... it's a very significant record and should be on everyone's top 10 list. I discovered Radiohead in the summer of 2000. I heard about how great OKC was.

The only person I knew who had a copy was my friend's girlfriend's dad, but they'd just split up. I convinced her to persuade her dad lend the CD, and then I passed it on to my friend (she wasn't impressed when she found out...). The first time I listened to it, it terrified me. Absolutely fucking terrified me. The second time it just sounded so alien and unusual, and the third time it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard. It's never sounded as good as that third time since, but it's still a bloody good album. However, Either/Or and Kid A beat it in the best album ever or best Radiohead album ever category.

I always listen to it and I think I always will. I bought it in 2000 but didn't get it. Radiohead grew slowly into me. I remember one afternoon I was listening to No Surprises in my bedroom and something just clikced inside me. OK Computer is perfect. It also involves all this feeling of the 1990's when i went to uni. The Tourist is me in Vienna in 1998. Radiohead are something you cannot get back from. Just like that. Anything else might be good, but always less. OK Computer is the CD I can never leave behind. I always listen to it and I think I always will.

BUT: I can say that Radiohead has changed my life. I was a teenager, with all troubles it means, when i discovered their "world". I was in 1997, with the famous Ok Computer. I exactly remember that i was in my room, sitting at desk, studying maths, when i heard Karma Police on the radio… a bomb in my mind, which still go on exploding today… i bought the album immediately. Then i discovered The Bends and Pablo Honey. I became a real addict to their music… It was unbelievable : all that i wanted to say – but that i couldn’t with my words – was in their music… all my feelings… my time was spendt listening their albums… again and again… i’ve cryied on many songs… i was so impressed by their songs… so filled in with them… And i started to play guitar… my first tab that i learned was Street Spirit… And since Ok Computer, i’ve never missed a news about Radiohead… I’ve seen them for the first time at Nimes (France), in 2003. A day that i could never forget. It was as if i’ve seen God in front of me… One day, i would like to speak to them (like a lot of people i guess !!), and just to thank them… to thank them to learn myself who i was… and for their help... to make life a little softer that it could be sometimes… CLAP CLAP CLAP Radiohead… « You are all i need » Thanks.

It marked my highschool years and now i find myself playing the album over and over again, trying to study for my finals (college years come to an end, unfortunatelly). Whatever the day brings, no matter what the mood is, OK Computer sneaks into my playlist. Karma Police got me started, and every song found its' way under my skin... Thank you Radiohead for your exceptional music and we hope to see you in Greece sometime. it’s been many years since the first time i listened to Karma Police.
