%% title = "Radiohead - OK Computer"
% id = "01H969NN1ACMHAYB8QX7SNCVJC"
- buy: [Bandcamp](https://radiohead.bandcamp.com/album/ok-computer)
% id = "01H969NN1A5S3VD7Y6FAXS0B3Y"
- this is an album I didn't really enjoy until very recently
% id = "01H969NN1A5B2QEKWY6B9KQFVP"
- what I came for in Radiohead was the more tender bits where they mix rock with electronica, and this album is _very_ coarse and rough compared to some of the later ones
% id = "01H969NN1A24V0J35FP07Z8Q6A"
- but this album has some pearls behind the generally rocky facade
% id = "01H969NN1A59XBNWNFDBS8M3WF"
- favorite tracks
% id = "music/track/radiohead/the-tourist"
+ #### The Tourist
% id = "01H969NN1AMCWWC12X58BCD1GB"
- yeah, man. slow down.
% id = "01H969NN1AGVKM992WV7B01P95"
- an ode to not appreciating the little details in life. an ode to going forward and never pausing to think. _have I been doing this all wrong?_
% id = "01H969NN1AB8A3KMHPQ7017MS2"
- I really like the slow tempo and Pink Floyd-esque style. it really sticks in my head.
% id = "music/track/radiohead/paranoid-android"
+ #### Paranoid Android
% id = "01H969NN1A743JETEND4EXTGG9"
- oppressive AIs or something
% id = "01H969NN1ABNZ88VSPM5ETBYB6"
- I haven't read too much into it
% id = "01H969NN1AAZ672H41ZGWZDYXT"
- mixed a little oddly (Thom Yorke's voice sounds really thin) but I like the electronic bits and general atmosphere
% id = "01H969NN1AFR4MBTBVBC2R06MC"
- the oppressive tone is also what made me like [Hail to the Thief][branch:music/album/radiohead/hail-to-the-thief] a lot
% id = "music/track/radiohead/fitter-happier"
+ #### Fitter Happier
% id = "01H969NN1A1GEVNYSPKE1AR9SJ"
- wouldn't _you_ like to be fitter, happier, more productive?
% id = "01H969NN1AE96A7FM03GMTQ0TS"
- myself, I don't think so. I don't know where I'd go without the oddities in life. without my pendulum of insanity.
% id = "01H969NN1A0TP1TGWEH0QZVDBQ"
- it feels like this track's story belongs somewhere between [The Matrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix) and [eugenics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics)
% id = "01H969NN1AA7K2PDH2J7J7PP91"
- probably my favorite off this album simply because it's so different
% id = "01H969NN1ANG34ZJXPMVM4D05Z"
- no guitars whatsoever, just the text-to-speech talking about its perfect member of society, a chilling ambience, and piano
% id = "01H969NN1A6W70WAZSGXH7DS3B"
- I love the plot twist it takes at the very end
