OK Computer has three songs that I like the sound of.
- Airbag, because of the interesting rhythm guitar in the beginning.
- Paranoid Android, because it’s a very musical song, with a lot of musical depth.
- And Electioneering, because of that cool rhythm guitar hook.
Three out of twelve isn't too bad, I guess. Usually I shine to the rest of the CD later, after listening a lot.
The CD sleeve has some interesting attempts at intellectual art, I guess. But the haphazard pseudo cool bad spelling, bad punctuation, and incredibly poor formatting makes it difficult to read without laughing at the "we're too cool to type this up so it could be read and understood" attitude.
The lyrics themselves are odd. Sometimes I think they're trying to be deep and profound, but unfortunately they are often far too vague to mean anything -- just stabs in the dark by someone hoping to hit a chord with the audience. Maybe I'm not up on brit politics though, and don't know about the events that inspired these lyrics.
The CD sleeve also lacked an essential - pictures of the band. Boo...
At this point, OK Computer is paring up with Coldplay's Parachutes. Two or three songs on the CD might make it to my regular playlists, but I'm pretty disappointed with the rest of the album.
