OK COMPUTER was nominated for 1998 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year
and Best Alternative Music Performance.
OK COMPUTER, Radiohead's third album, is the bombastic follow-up to 1995's sleeper hit THE BENDS, which
left critics and listeners as impressed with the band's ability as they
were curious about their potential. In spite of its
technological-sounding title and apocalyptic sci-fi themes, OK COMPUTER
is firmly grounded in the rock verities. Waves of guitars rage beneath
the haunting melodies and near-hysterical fits of singer Thom Yorke.
This complex, intense swarm of guitars is held aloft by a solid,
inventive rhythm section and an impressive array of piano and keyboard
textures."Paranoid Android" is a six-minute-plus epic with alternating
time signatures, wild dynamic shifts, drama and adrenaline to spare.
"Let Down," with its double-tracked vocals and rhythmic throb, may give
a brief glimpse back at Radiohead's past, but at no point is OK COMPUTER
anything but a hurtle forward.
