The Highest Rated Album of All Time??? Radiohead Ok Computer Reaction/Review 

YESS IN RAINBOWS NEXT

They’re finally listening to the best band of all time

yall reaction to him getting the pronunciation right for Subterranean Homesick Alien was JOKES 😭

Happy to see love for Let Down, an underated masterpiece

The vocalist is Thom Yorke. I would strongly recommend you check out In Rainbows from 2007 or Kid A from 2000. Fans of the band frequently debate over those top 3 (as well as others) for being their favorite. They are all masterpieces and absolutely stunning. Exit Music (For A Film) was originally going to be used for a Romeo and Juliet movie, but the idea got scrapped. It was later used in a fantastic Black Mirror episode (Shut Up And Dance). One of my favorite pieces of music ever composed. Airbag is about a real experience Thom Yorke had in which he nearly died from a car accident; he literally says an airbag saved his life. In the last song, The Tourist, he says repeatedly "Hey man/Idiot, slow down, slow down" which then cycles back to the beginning of the album which takes place after the implied car crash. Also huge respect for the Let Down love, a lot of people overlook it on first listen but at some point it just hits at the right time and you understand why some people think it's the best song on the album.

Let Down is one of Radiohead's best songs sorry but it beats creep anyday

Relistened to this album very recently and it really does live up to the hype The fact that at the end he says "slow down" and the start is him getting into a car crash, is just oddly terrifying. (not my observation, Brad taste in music's observation)

Just want to say thank you for listening to the songs all the way through and letting the dynamics and flow of the music speak. It’s utterly painful when people pause 10 times a song and disturb the statement of the song. Especially important with albums like this. We need their album “In Rainbows “ next

This is the first time I've ever seen your channel. Guy in tan shirt (srry, don't know your name's yet), your description of "Let Down" is exactly how I feel when I listen to it. Tell your buds that this album is one of the best b/c it perfectly captures the depression caused by existing in our modern world. While not an upper, it is thematically, & musically brilliant as well as cathartic.

IN RAINBoWS

You guys will be blown away. Incredible album!!

In rainbows

Heard Let Down in the season 1 finale of The Bear and it gave me chills

The second half of climbing up the walls might be the best piece of music ever

I did not expect this to be one of my favorite reactions to OK Computer ever lol you guys should definitely check out In Rainbows and Kid A

This is the first album I ever bought with my own money when I was in high school. This was back when I had a cd player but they would skip if you bumped them 😅 new tech. I had my eye on this album for a while and finally randomly decided to buy it only having heard Paranoid Android before. Best random purchase in my life. Now I own everything they’ve ever released. ❤

In Rainbows No Diddy

😂 please never stop cutting to the memes that was absolutely hilarious on Paranoid Android with the missile and the chopper On a side note please blur out every yawn during a Radiohead song from here on out 😂

My favourite band of all time. My favourite album of all time. The best musically but also importantly, the most emotionally authentic and powerful. Been listening for 37 years and it still gets better.

Let down getting the love it deserves❤

I love y’all’s energy, great vibes all around, would love to see yall react to other RadioHead projects, most notably In Rainbows

I was literally just thinking I need them to react to In Rainbows and I come here to see if there is anything new and it’s OK Computer let’s fuckINgGO

Great reaction, lads. Let Down nearly didn’t make it on to the album. One of their greatest songs.

the production is getting better and better

Amazing album and great pick for 10k 🔥 🔥

I appreciate the editing - the timing synced with the music🗿🙏

you guys are unique with the way your go about your reaction. there are some things that def need work but i see the vision

Radiohead are COMPOSERS. Like when you listen to their songs, you're talking about all sorts of rare chords, totally unique atmospheres, super complex layering, like they don't go into a studio and "jam" and just slop around. They compose the way classical musicians compose, where every measure is very carefully plotted out. True masters.

Congrats on the 10k, yall deserve this and more keep up the great content

The flow and progression of the songs themselves, as well as the album as a whole is what I believe cements it as one of the GOATs. The layers and details in all of the sound was so ahead of its time, and there won't be another band like Radiohead in my opinion. I can't wait to see you guys listen to In Rainbows (2008) and A Moon Shaped Pool (2016). Both incredible albums and the latter has a bit of all their albums' sounds cohesively. If you want to see the band at work please please look into doing the "From the Basement" live studio recording of In Rainbows (after you do the album). Watching them create all of these sounds and how tight they are as a band is super impressive and I think it would make for a great reaction. Fire reaction as always guys i'm glad you're taking the Radiohead journey!

Great review and reaction. Glad you dug it so much.

i was sat watching your reactions to tame impalas albums the other day, it’s great to see you react to radiohead

I missed the intro with the premiere, incredible cypher 🙏

36:16 was probably the greatest moment I've witnessed in a music reaction channel LMAO They knew what was coming edit: something I don't share often with people but there was a "newer" song that was released that had an older version they intended to be on THIS album when it came out. They didn't include it because they felt it would have too much commercial success and take away from the rest of the album lol. Look up "Radiohead - Lift (Studio Mix #1)"

The rust clip in paranoid android made me laugh so hard LOL. Wasn’t expecting that. Also great reaction, you guys have great vibes 🤙

Well done on getting Let Down so fast.. people usually miss it at first amongst the other brilliant tunes.. so good.

Instant sub. Y’all are a great listen.

great reaction, never seen u guys before. i love radiohead, this album is a classic, not even in my top 3 radiohead albums tho. In Rainbows is perfection.its all personal taste tho. keep it going.

I feel the exact same way about Let Down. Song is one of, if not the best of all time. Just amazing, every emotion all at once, the build up and countermelodies are perfect and it has such a perfect climax that the last like 2 mins of this song are actual perfection.

This album needs to played on repeat for about a month

The key to understanding No surprises I reckon is the " get me out of here" at the end. It's not a happy song I guess, it's a beautiful song. I reckon it's about boredom and repetition.

great reaction to a great album. subbed!

Every single year the universal acclaim this album gets seems more and more justified.

In rainbows will blow your minds as well

Just wait till you hear out they released B-sides to this album in the remastered version, which just add to it. So if you don't want it to end.... there's more

Been waiting on this one fr

The fact that you all felt peaceful and positive in the most depressing and gutwretching songs in the album, ahahaha

FYI the Paranoid Android refers to Marvin the Paranoid Android from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

I was so happy to see the positive reactions especially to let down, it’s my all time favorite and I loved seeing the reactions to the first time listen

try their album "In Rainbows" - it is neck and neck with this one as their best album. Great vid, thanks! Peace/

Yall need to listen to the new abnormal by the strokes

It's funny that you brought up the Western vibe in "Exit Music (for a film)" because that song was used for the season 1 closing scene in the show "Westworld," and I highly recommend checking that out. A bunch of Radiohead songs made their way into the soundtrack for that show, most arranged for strings.

Thumbnail fire guys, great work and reaction

dang yall the vibes are immaculate, especially the synchronized head bobbing for let down.

You will be blown away by In Rainbows, even more than this imo

that DAMN > TPAB take was a wild way to end the vid ngl

Great reaction guys. You just earned a new sub!

"In rainbows" next please!! Or "hail to the thief " they will get u prepared for "kid A" lol

got to do in rainbows

More Radiohead please omg!!!!

Love your reactions - OK Computer was the go to LP in 97...you should also try Ladies and Gentleman we are Floating in Space by Spiritualized... your reactions to this album are perfect. You were in the presence of greatness, and you knew it. Nice one fellas!

Another album you need to check out is Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". It stayed on album charts for 990 weeks, it's the 4th biggest selling record of all time.❤

I first heard this album in 2005, I was 20 years old. My friend had recently ended his life. Exit music for a film grabbed onto my soul, I still think of him when I hear it. ❤

let down is my fav song on here along with no surprises and climbing up the walls, 100% felt that let down story, replayed it like 15 times when i first heard it

Nah this editing is hilarious, props

Exit Music (For A Film) is used at the end of Romeo+Juliet (1996) and also an episode of Black Mirror. Both super effective imo. Probably others too but those are the ones I've seen.

Congrats on 10K 🎂🎂

Gotta do In Rainbows by them now of you haven't

While I encourage you to cover Radiohead's entire discography, you guys have to check out Portishead's Dummy album, Massive Attack's Mezzanine album and Morcheeba's Big Calm album, I pretty sure trip hop is gonna blow your mind, it's the ultimate chillax and vibe music. Highly recommend watching Portishead's Live in Roseland NYC concert whenever and wherever possible, it's iconic, they have a full philharmonic accompanying them throughout.

When I first listened to this album in it’s entirety about 20 years ago, i legit almost had an out of body experience when it finally got to The Tourist.

The Tourist - best closer ever. EVER!

Just so you know the song Lucky was written for the Help album, which was a charity album for War Child after the Serbia and Bosnia war. It was written and recorded in a week and was the first song to be written for OK Computer. I remebber the first time I heard it in 1995, it blew my mind and made me realise how amazing Radiohead would become.

It took awhile for "Let Down" to be my favorite from this album, but once it happened, it's remained.

Radiohead is otherworldly. Each of their albums is an experience.

I fell out when you were all shocked by your guys perfect reading of Subterranean Homesick Alien

Man the thumbnail for this video is beautiful

Let down is one of my favourite tunes of all time. Maybe you should have a look at Toots and the Maytals version. It’s a fantastic compliment to the original .

Great reaction! I suggest The Bends and In Rainbows next

Favorite album since I finished high school in 2016 and to this day there are so many moments where I'm listening and I can't even believe this shit is real

Holy.. that one guy needs some sleep 😂 great reaction!

TAURUS SEASON! 😂 Yo, great reaction to this album. I also consider this album a MASTERPIECE. Definitely check out Kid A and In Rainbows. They're also considered masterpieces, but this one always hits me hardest.

need more radiohead !!!

Enjoy Kid A... 😊👍🇮🇪

Everybody is gangsta until Let Down starts.

Not Troy crying to Paranoid Android!

Hope u guys gonna react to Plastic Beach by Gorillaz. It is going to be as much of an experience as u had with Demon Days.

Can I suggest you listen to In Ranbows, but the live version from In The Basement. It is so cool to actually see they band and how they interact and some fo the songs are actually better live.

I strongly recommend deftones since you guys enjoyed this, another band with an amazing vocalist and have a good balance of ethereal beautiful songs and hard stuff. STRONGLY recommend white pony or diamond eyes. Love the content guys keep it up 👊

I was listening to this album in a hot bath and still got chills, yuh

What a great reaction guys! I loved watching you all totally vibe out :) Please do KID-A next …. Then In Rainbows. In that order. You all will not be disappointed. 🤙

If you think this took you on a journey, you should check out their next album, Kid A.

There’s no going back, now yall gotta listen to their whole discography, starting with In Rainbows ofc

Exit Music (For A Film) is written for Romeo and Juliet

If I remember correctly, the A note in Karma Police is played as a “true A” which is supposed to be the most harmonious version of the A note that isn’t used as much in modern music. I think that’s why Karma Police is such a comforting song despite having the heavier loud rock instrumentation at the same time. My best feeling I get from it is a good crying feeling where you feel comfortable to let everything out but still getting a positive feeling from it

yoo big upgrade !!

love yall

Check out Easy Star All-Stars, they covered this whole album as REGGAE/SKA/DUB. It's wild

You guys should check out the band Air. “Moon Safari” is a phenomenal album. They are a French electronic band. They did the soundtrack to the movie The Virgin Suicides. 👍

i wanna say exit music for a film was used in the Romeo + Juliet end credits

Highly recommend The Bends after this one, and then essentially doing the discography in chronological order. Every album is interesting and worth listening to in its own way, and I think hearing how the band progressed naturally, and how they continue to build on themes and motifs carried through multiple releases will enhance your appreciation of their greatness. Kid A and In Rainbows are always spammed in every thread about them but it's not worth skipping over albums entirely and forever missing the opportunity to hear everything for the first time in order.
