Before Radiohead dove head-first into fully electronic territory with the album "Kid A" (and "The King of Limbs" much later on), they mastered alternative rock with their 1997 triumph "OK Computer". It's hard to describe how genuinely powerful this album is to someone who hasn't heard it before, although I imagine most users on this site have at least been told about it over and over again. So instead of trying to explain why this is one of the greatest works of art the 1990's had to offer, I'll just say that it's even more impressive that this isn't even their best album. As ridiculously, INSANELY great as it is, Radiohead would get even better yet...
pros:
- anxiously atmospheric
- emotionally powerful
- no filler
- some of Radiohead's best work
