"Deeply weird bunch, Radiohead. Insular, posh, irrationally paranoid, yet capable of creating achingly beautiful songs resplendent with mind-warping sonic tricks."
"1995's The Bends is a masterpiece......definitively modern, and instantly timeless"
"No matter how dark the subject, Radiohead never lose sight of the fact that you need a decent hook to hang it on"
"It was a rare treat to interview a man whose intelligence and magnetic aura are matched only by his humility and thoughtfulness"
"It's powerful, bruised, majestically desperate record full of frighteningly good songs"
"The greatest rock band on God's Earth this very second"
"Radiohead aren't really a part of britpop, not in my opinion. They're off in another city somewhere, and I'm glad that I live there."
"With "OK Computer" the group demonstrates a maturity and brilliance that will invigorate your faith in music once again"
"It's a remarkable feeling to listen to a CD and feel dead and
alive all at once. Radiohead pulls it off because behind every wincing revelation, there's a sense of incredible relief - witness Let Down's expanding space that finally explodes in euphoric tones. A dark marvel from one of the decade's standout acts."
"Whether it's the savage roar of the group's three guitarists or the insistent piano that pushes tracks like the haunting "Karma Police," Radiohead unleashes perfectly crafted pop songs that are as unnerving as they are lovely."
"It requires your full atention from start to finish to fully appreciate it's master strokes; indeed, it's the echoes of these weighty pop symphonies that help to identify this as a musical landmark in it's own right. It will be hard for any band to top this astounding album before the end of this century, at least."
"Radiohead make body music that circumvents the head to reach the spirit...it feels utterly contemporary, an achievement few mainstream guitar bands can claim."
"From opening track "Airbag," the music works like a gentle tide, lapping and lapping and lapping at your ear until it's tugged you all the way in......Brimming with sensations, breathing with emotion, "OK Computer" is a sonic masterpiece."
"A new Radiohead single is like Christmas coming early"
"I've listened to OK Computer five times now, and I think it's majestic"
"They've delivered a miracle of millennial claustrophobia and twitching paranoia, an angry and compassionate statement of the dislocated individual"
"'Paranoid Android' has probably already blown your mind into tiny little bits via the beautiful madness of the current Radio 1 playlist. What you won't know is that, in a month or so, the album, 'OK Computer' is going to come into your life, sweep up those tiny little bits, put your mind back together again and then blow it all over again. Just for a laugh. Just because it can."
"Music this dark, moody, evocative and intoxicating simply hasn't penetrated the pop mainstream since the heyday of Nirvana"
"Tongiht will see Radiohead carve out a fresh new chapter in their history, and fill it with some of the most eloquent and moving musical language ever coined"
"Radiohead are payig no attention to polite convention. They are cruising at warp factor ten, trailing sleighbells, synthesisers, whole bloody choirs of angels, and an entire neo-Freudian thesis in their wake. 'OK', you ask? It's awesome"
"The year's greatest song"
"Every word sounds achingly sincere, every note spewed from the heart - and yet it roots itself firmly in a world of steel, glass, Random Access Memory and prickly-skinned paranoia"
"Fortunately, Radiohead are here to calm the savage swine with songs from their celestial, mesmerising, liquid-crystal masterpiece of an LP, 'OK Computer'"
"This isn't the new.....anybody. This is the first and last Radiohead"
