so you agree with me that they should disown OK Computer?

What's wrong with OK Computer? It's a typical Radiohead album. If you like Radiohead, you should like OK Computer.

Lol.

OK Computer, whether you like it or not, is a stand out achievement, its cultural significance and critical success prove that. Why the hell should they 'discard' it?

I'm intrigued as to why you despise it so much?

i dunno how to describe it either

it just sounds monotonous and lifeless

Most Radiohead albums are monotonous and lifeless, I would hesitate to say it is their intention.

but they are more layered and textured

i mean my fave Radiohead song is "Pyramid" - it's a dirge, but how they layer it and the melody makes it an awesome "dirge"

OKC sounds completely unremarkable to me

That's fine, as I said, my favourite is T'Bends (I'm Northern, okay!?) but I pretty much like all of their albums to a degree. I just didn't understand how you could call OK Computrer a "crock of sh!te" when it is clearly not that bad.

I just can't decide on a real place for it. It has some great songs, but every single one of their other albums, even pablo honey and king of limbs, which I think are really quite weak, has at least one or two songs that beat the stuffing out of anything on OKC.

Its really too middle of the road for me to commit to an opinion. I could say it was terrible because its so uninspiring to me, in terms of great songs, but I'd be lying, because I think Pablo Honey is an album that trades on a couple of great songs surrounded by some pretty bad ones.

On the other hand, I could say it was a crowning achievement and nothing touches it, but I'd be talking out my ass because I don't think it holds a cndle to HTTT, which has every song a classic, and every song fits within an order that feels practically perfect from start to finish.

I wouldn't worry about it, it's only Radiohead.
