How good is OK Computer?

Hey Tommy-

I played on a bill with your band a long(ish) time ago.

Overrated

True, but overrated can also apply to mediocre albums like this one.

The fact it has Paranoid Android and Exit Music push it above mediocre, IMO.

If you think it's not good, say it's not good. I'm sick of all this mealy-mouthed bullsh!t from people who just want to buck the norm but don't have any real criticism to offer. Oh, "it can be mediocre"? Is it, or isn't it? Spit it out, brozlebub

Yeah, everyone thinks that the pop music from their adolescence is the greatest ever.

Quite good. A nice transition between their more 'poppy' albums and their ... I don't know ... electronica albums.

Go back to your Limp Bizkit albums, then.

What is it about the words "mediocre like this one" that you don't understand?

It's the best album of the 90's and anyone who disagrees is a moron of the highest order.

The first half of OK Computer is pretty excellent in my opinion, but it starts to lose steam around Fitter Happier and doesn't really pick up until the end with The Tourist. Best album of the 90's? It certainly contains some of the best songs of the decade, but as a whole, I don't think the album is consistent enough to be held up to that standard.

It is well-known that the best pop album of the 90s is "Nevermind."
