About this album

EMI UK (2003) Released: 1 Mar 2003 12 tracks (53:21)
OK Computer is the third album by the English band Radiohead, released in . It reached #1 on the UK Albums Chart and marked Radiohead’s highest entry into the American market at the time, where it debuted at #21. OK Computer expanded the band’s worldwide popularity, becoming the last Radiohead album to have a delayed release outside of the United Kingdom. As of 2007, it has been certified triple platinum in the UK and double platinum in the US. OK Computer included the singles “Paranoid Android”, “Karma Police” and “No Surprises”.

The album was recorded in rural Oxfordshire and Bath, England with Nigel Godrich, who would work with the band on all their future recordings. Although OK Computer was dominated by guitar, its expansive sound and wide range of influences set it apart from many of the and bands popular at the time, laying the groundwork for Radiohead’s later, more work. The lyrics, by Thom Yorke, and the album’s artwork by Yorke and frequent collaborator Stanley Donwood, emphasised themes such as consumerism, social disconnection, political stagnation and modern malaise, though the band denied they set out to make a concept album.


Upon its release, OK Computer received almost unanimously positive reviews. Consensus among critics was that the album was a landmark of its time and would have far-reaching impact and importance.

    Any music lover will rate this in their top 10. I recoil from supposed music lovers when they say "radiohead are depressing"

    @cheokech: definitely the kind of guy who has been told OK Computer is the greatest album of all time so he is persuaded it is. Thom Yorke is surely endowed with a dazzling voice. Radiohead obviously have talent but are certainly not the best band you could come across.

    10/10 This and In Rainbows are the band's finest moments IMO. Brilliant. I'll never be able to understand anyone who says otherwise. Their loss.

    6 or 7 / 10. good, but not their best and pretty damn over-rated.

    @sunheadbowed you have ears full of shit if you think that Ok Computer has a 3.5

  • Demonomaniaco

    obviously not the greatest album of all time (lol) OR the 90's, but definitely among the best of 1997. 8/10? oh who cares.
