Album::OK Computer

Artist:: Radiohead

OK Computer marks the coming out party for Radiohead from pop band to actual musical artist. To date I believe it is their best effort. Thom Yorke, who can be quite whiney at times hits the mark here song after song. The album highlights their layered recording philosophy, where basically they lay down track after track until the original themes are reimagined.

Hot Tracks: Paranoid Android, Subterranean Homesick Alien, Karma Police
Sleeper Track: Electioneering
Dog: Fitter Happier (Computer voice gets old after 1000 or so listenings.)

p.s. I don't listen to alot of new stuff so consider this the start of my "essentials" series. "essentials" are by definition great albums IMHO.
