Electioneering is my second favorite song on the album. Right behind Exit Music.

umm OK Computer is a guitar driven album, you do know that right? Even the piano ballad is backed up by guitar.

That's besides the point, the entire album has a spacey, futuristic feel and then bam, there's electrioneering...

Do lyrics mean anything to you people? The lyrics fit in with the theme of the album.

Yeah but the music doesn't quite as much.

I agree that it's the real weak point of an otherwise perfect album.

A big WTF to whoever said Paranoid Android sucks, that's still probably my favorite Radiohead song.

There's more to the song than lyrics, it's a fairly straightforward, completely guitar driven song. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the album.

I think lyrics are the LAST thing I pay attention to as far as Radiohead are concerned.

Did I ever say there wasn't? Anyway I'm done with this if we're all going to argue lets not do it about something we've argued about at least twice before.

The lyrics on OK Computer are actually important. All give off fumes of paranoia, social discomfort, and even insanity. I’ve always thought of OK Computer as the modern Darkside of the Moon which dealed with the same issues to an extent, and listen to Lucky and tell me that doesn’t sound like Floyd.

While Thom isn't the bees knees when it comes to lyrics, I think he's written quite a few good songs from a lyrical standpoint. HTTT was probably their lyrical high point.
