OK Computer is one of those albums that is best understood as a collective whole rather than a collection of singles. Lyrically the album can be a bit all over the place but the general feel is really about exploring the alienation that has come with technology, despite the advancements made by technology to prolong lives. the album has really aged well considering the impact social media and parasocial relationships have had since then. Lyrics aside, this song for me is all about really setting the dystopian feel of the album and Johnny Greenwood's amazing guitar skills.
Precisely. Definitely among my favourite albums, but it is almost difficult to listen to just one of the songs without playing through in your head how that sits within the entire experience. 'OK Computer' is like the British precursor to Our Lady Peace's 'Spiritual Machines'. Thom Yorke's conveyal of emotion here is outstanding, but "all the unborn chicken voices in [his] head" only begins to describe how batshit crazy his thoughts are. Hope you give the whole album a listen someday Ty, and don't play it on shuffle.
😳 Omgoodness- the Robert Plant (backwards) Thom Yorke parallel is reaLLL. I've always thought Thoms voice had an uncanny familiarity to it and I just couldn't put my finger on it..!? And I'm an old school Led Zeppelin and Radiohead fan. I never thought about it being Stairway to Heaven backwards- but THAT'S IT..!! Thank you @Modern Renaissance Man, I'm so glad I saw this particular reaction, this has been bugging me foreVerrr! You listened one time and knew exactly what I haven't been able to articulate... And I've seen Led Zeppelin live a few times, and Radiohead MANY times. What a relief! Bless UP! 🤯_😁🙏🏼

One of my favorites. Your face when he sings the panic the vomit is hilarious.
Rain down rain down come on rain down on me from a great height from a great height. That segment of the song transports me every time
Best album ever. Saw them in concert. Thunderbird Stadium UBC. ♥️🇨🇦♥️
Amazing ❤
I saw this come up and I thought for a moment that I requested it lol
It's a great song! Karma Police is another great Radiohead song to listen to
I would listen to this wearing my earbuds while gardening, or painting the shed and the fence etc. Good music to work to.
Their music appealed to me it scratched an aesthetic itch I never realised I had.

They don't make albums like they used to.
5:26 went crazy for no reason 🤣
get off that damn phone 😭
Too bad you didn't do the original video. It's a cartoon and very risque but cool 😊
It takes away reactors attention from the great lyrics and fantastic music, they just focus on the meanigless silly video
Robert Plant
