OK COMPUTER was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year and won the 1998 Grammy for 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.

Customer Reviews
This is one of their best CD's by far. Can't stop listening to it. But you should check out The Bends by them as well.

this is the first Radiohead CD I have ever bought...only Clocks, 5th selection was excellent...the other tunes were, so so....must be showing my age...most younger folks would like it I guess...but being brought up on the Doobie Bros, Steely Dan, Eagles, .38 Special etc...this new music is just not my cup of tea...As usual Overstock's value was excellent.
