OK computer is an album thats beauty lies in its subtlety. its not a processed, wham-bam-thank-you-maam piece that will grab you buy the bollocks immediatly, but give it time and patience..you'll notice the brilliance of it. of course subtley isnt everybodies cup of tea, some people like their music simple and to the point- two characteristics this album most definetly is not. but how can an album that has the songs "paraniod android", "exit music (for a film)", "karma police", "no surprises" and "lucky" be labelled as crap? its not my favourite radiohead album, that accolade belongs to hail to the thief, but in my opinion it is one of the top 5 albums of the 90's.
