With all the glowing five-star reviews I've read, and with so many people telling me this album was the new barometer of musical genius, I had to buy it. I have listened to this album many, many times, and it always leaves me perplexed. "Ok computer," to me, is hopelessly mediocre, infantile, poorly recorded, poorly performed, and not at all worth the hype it has received on this website. Anyone who believes this album is "genius," or "innovative" should pick up Webster's dictionary, look up the meaning of those words, and ask themselves if they really describe this album accurately. Many have pointed out the significance of the album's recurring theme of Anxiety as if it were some brilliant stroke of lyrical mastery. I'm sorry, but most of us read The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook in the sixth grade, and the fact that Thom yorke is obsessed with it now only proves his childish intellect. His voice is, in a word, abysmal. His supporting players are likewise out-of-tune, out-of-time, grasping for ideas from their limited palette. As for Ms.Greenwood, nothing new is learned; Yorke leaves only fragmented questions, and no new insight. Of course, fans of the band tell me I just don't get it, that it's so emotional, that it makes them cry. Yet they can't say why it affects them so. As for Radiohead, I can only say that they've broken no new ground, have no talent, and seem quite content to fool you with the dubious aesthetics of their lo-fi world. With approval from the potheads at CMJ, and the Michael Stipe Seal Of Approval, Radiohead and bands of their ilk, will continue to pump out what is the most overrated dross I think I've ever heard.

I agree completely, but actually saying what you think among so many radiohead fans is futile. It's best just to keep it to yourself and not participate.
Hide radiohead threads
Ignore radiohead posters
Above all, don't try to argue with them

I've never understood /mu/'s obsession with Radiohead and more particularly OK Computer. There's more hype now around that album than it was back in the 90's judging from the amount of daily threads on /mu/ about it.
