Radiohead's OK Computer in 5 Minutes 
Видеоклипы
This might be because I'm watching too many bee movie videos on yt, but did anyone else think that this video would literally be the whole album sped up and crammed into 5 mins?
lay off the ganja
haha same here....seems alot of people like screwing with Radiohead songs, speeding, remixing, etc. And please don't lay off the ganja, Bandstand is only joking.
I was so sure it would be sth dank I had this weird fuzziness in my tummy
Josh P sort of it, I thought it would be edited, but not sped up LoL
Josh P I did too
OK Google, play OK Computer.
David Ortiz Hahahhaahahahahahahhhaaha that was really funny XDDD
Oh shit I just realized, did Radiohead predict how we would talk to technology for tasks with the name “Ok Computer”?
@@kev1257ful The OK part supposedly looks like a stick man sideways... But what do I know....
@@kev1257ful Not sure, OK has always been a common command prompt with computers long before Google. It's a nice idea though.
Ok google, play Fitter Happier
I heard often that "Fitter Happier" was unnecessary, and as far as I remember Thom said that as well. But in my opinion it fits so perfectly, makes this album more unique and gives this dystopian feel.
What bothers me about FH is that disrupts the 0110 set list progression with In Rainbows
I'd have replaced it with Meeting in the Isle since that song was recorded at the same time as Ok Computer, but after all these years it'd feel weird to not listen to Fitter Happier lol.
Yeah that was Electionerring not Fitter Happier. I agree with it, and the b-side Pearly would've worked a lot better, it's one of their top 5 best b-sides I think.
I like this because that's the one song that always feels kinda meh to me. Each and every other track is a necessity ... and then there's Electioneering...
Electrionering is awesome... one of my faves songs of Radiohead lol
Nothing about "No Surprises" ok ok THAT'S A SURPRISE.
Ben Caro right?
Probably because it speaks for itself. The track is a masterpiece.
Wtf is with all these comments? The intro to the video IS "no surprises"...?...!!!
God this album is so fucking next level it's unbelievable that it's even real
Stankonia is no slouch, either.
Stankonia is good, but hasn't aged as well as ATLiens et al.
Logan Wendt I still think the bends is better. I think that is their best album, not OK Computer.
Really? I think Aquemini, Stankonia, and The Love Below all aged better. That's not knocking ATliens though, I mean...it's Outkast, they really can't do much wrong.
Logan Wendt just like how Pet Sounds was
I do personally find OK Computer to be far darker than The Bends due to the fact that OKC is all about the cold horrors and loneliness of the modern world, and the mental and emotional state of the people living in it.
The Bends is absolutely heartbreaking, yes. But to me, while The Bends is about the struggles of a single person, Ok Computer is about the struggles of the entire world.
yes, that's perfect
OK computer gives me major Pink Floyd vibes, both bands are absolutely amazing
Well said
Didn't even mention let down... such a beautiful song
bob smith LET DOWN IS MY FAVORITE SONG!!! I mean, same.
or no suprises...
Yeah, what a let down.
why do you wanna hear about a straight-forward song about dwelling in misery and being reduced to chemicals?
@@yourknightmanny ...because they like it?
"Lucky, which was much darker than anything they had released before"... because I guess 'Street Spirit' doesn't exist.
If anything, Bulletproof... I Wish I Was is far darker than Street spirit.
@@ed6271 BP ... IWIW s a BEAUTIFUL song, I'd say Street Spirit is darker but BP ... IWIW is a lot more melancholy/emotional
Street Spirit is the darkest song I'm aware of; just pure hopelessness, no light in it at all.
Diz Thom Yorke described it as a the light at the end of the tunnel, except there was no light, just darkness in the tunnel.
@@ActuallyDavid what about How I made my millions? I find it very depressed and emotional
1997 holy shit. this album was WAAYYYYY ahead of their time
LOVER LINK not their time, but it’s time. If they made it, and it was ahead, their time would also be ahead
A lot of bands were making darker, more experimental albums around 1997-98, so I wouldn't call it that far ahead.
What about Low's first album I can live in hope, 1994? Radiohead are honestly overrated.
nick n L
honestly if any artist grows and gets acknowledgements or attention they deserve y'all be like "oVeRrAtEdddd". there's reason behind the hype
I always get chills when his vocals break down into screams at the end of Climbing up the Walls. So dark, compared to the rest of the album.
Yeah man my fave off the album
I was 14 in 2004 when my mom worked for an American airline. She cleaned out the planes in a hangar. She would often bring home electronics and such for me that were not claimed at the lost and found. I remember the time she brought home a CD booklet than contained OK Computer. I listened to it for months on end while playing GTA Vice City. Good times.
SambaSunnySideUp You mean a tote case? That's what they're called a tote case ;)
Eerily similar story...
We are the same age. My brother gave me the bends when i was about 13. Didnt really listen to it until i was 15.. but once it got into my head, it was stuck. My favourite band, to this day
i became a stoner in 99' nuff said
So wholesome 😊
Fitter Happier isn't about taking orders from "robot overlords", it follows the albums main theme of the album that people have become more computer than human ("OK" looks like a sideways human stick figure). Fitter Happier is the program that plays in everyone's head while they try to become "ideal humans" that will benefit society.
James Butko Its not called OK computer because the OK looks like a human, it’s a quote out of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
@@ed6271 but it's pretty neat that OK does look like a sideways human stick figure
I always thought the album was imagining a world where technology was so advanced life became homogenous for everyone. Fitter Happier being the description of everyone’s life that would exist in that dystopia
You’re thinking too much into it...
@@rhys2275 No, that's what music is. That's what art is. You look into it and figure out what it means to you. And by that definition, you can go as far and as deep as you want.
20 years have passed but it does not age.
Except like wine
literally a word for word statement about what I love about good music

this album came out when i was 16 and changed my life. i followed radiohead around the world on several tours and have been lucky enough to meet the band and chat with them about their music, and made friends along the way of other diehard fans. i still remember the first time i heard paranoid android, it's like a switch went off in my brain. i could never look back! thanks for the retrospective
You truly are "lucky"
@@kpman644 Or he's just a paranoid android
let down is severely underrated. truly one of their best songs.
You wanna talk underrated? Planet Telex, The Trickster, Blow Out, You, Talk Show Host, Lewis - Mistreated. Too many people have said "Let Down is underrated" for it to be underrated
"Let Down" has the most beautiful lead guitar intro i've ever heard in my life.
One of the few Guitar melodies to ever truly send chills down my spine when first listening to it in 1997.
That song still haunts me. Melodically speaking...... it's absolutely..... "depressingly beautiful".
Such a let down that he didn't mention Let Down.
CRUUUSHHED LAIEK AA BUG IN THA GROUUUUUNDDD
@sirarcha don't get sentimental it always ends up drivel
One of the few albums I would give a perfect 10/10, absolutely flawless, and it's not even the best Radiohead album.
:)
What's the best in your opionion?
@@chriscunningham8703 Kid A
@@ControlDesigns Nah fam In Rainbows
@@ControlDesigns W
The greatest album in modern rock history, if not ever. 20 years of excellence.
I own OK Computer i really like a few songs, but i honestly think it is possibly one of the most overrated albums ever.
Indo Bule your different taste of music can't make an album overrated;)
@@saptak1102 neither the greatest rock album of all time
feels like it was released yesterday
Lol. Listen to more rock then.
Hard to believe it was recorded in 1997. This album still so futuristic. One of a kind, we don't deserve another one like this, lets just keep it on repeat.
One of the best albums of all time.
nice pfp
This isn't my favourite radiohead album, but it was the first i listened to. It completely changed my world and what music meant to me. I vividly remember being 14 and listening to it on my walk to the train station before school every morning (the gloomier the weather, the better of course since i was usually probably imagining i was the protagonist of an indie film).
amelia marie What’s your fav?
Haha reading this I thoughof Let Down
Is KID A your favourite too?
A good reminder of how incredible the guitar on OKC is
One of very very few albums that it hailed as a classic on release and has only got better with time. I couldn't imagine a time when the sound accomplished on OKC is considered out-dated or corny.
in every common section for video about radiohead, you will find tons of comments listing best to worst radiohead albums and big discussions
This album changed the course of my life. I was 17 when it came out. It’s still my favorite album of all time.
Exit music was used better in Black Mirror
Exit Music (for a TV Program)
Nah, Father Ted made the best use of it.
Sudev Sen It was great in Westworld as well
Also used in The 100
I disagree about it being used well in Westworld, that was lazy filmmaking where they relied too heavily on a pre-established emotional response from the song to do the emotional heavy lifting of the scene. Some movies iconically pair up a song with a scene and it creates new life -- Westworld's use of Radiohead tunes (there were a few) felt cheap and lazy. They certainly didn't make the show any better.
I recall reading an interview with the band while they were recording OK Computer and Thom Yorke described it as sounding like a mix of Elvis Costello, The Pixies and Pink Floyd.
Fuck Capitol Records.
First they underestimate Pet Sounds (best album of all time imo) and now I learn they disliked such a classic like OK Computer
To say nothing of their butchery of the Beatles US album releases.
record labels are crap no doubt about that but to be fair they probably were right a lot more times than we know about on all kindsa stuff that actually DID flop as expected.
Lol jesus. Beatles, beach boys, and radiohead, probably my opinion of the best artists of our time.
I WANT KID A
I'm surprised that there was no mention of Kid A and Amnesiac. Hopefully they will make one as a double feature.
this album was the only thing that got me through high school.
THIS ALBUM SAVED MY LIFE
Jean Baron quite literally.
You sure it wasn't an airbag, buddy?
Jean Baron how
Yeah, how? I'm curious too
Ugh, these killer cars.
This album was released a few months before I was born, and my dad played it all the time. It's been with me my entire life, even before I was in the real world. Radiohead. You are my guardians... I will listen to this album until I die.
Exit music for a film is literally Gods gift to the earth
fitter happier makes me cry
Bruno Santos Fitter Happier terrifies me.
Solomon Lusk same. It scares me.
so ahead then, so scaring actual nowadays...
I love Fitter Happier
Snowflake
Jonny's Synth part in Climbing Up The Walls is one of the greatest moment in a history of music ...
Exit Music was already an great song, but that ending on Black Mirror made it excellent
The whole album is literally about death, yet it kept me alive for all these years. Jesus is it really 20 years?! So hard to believe....
The best Radiohead album.
This album expanded my musical pallet in my late teens. After listening to mainly hip-hop & a bit of rock (The Strokes, Foals, QOTSA etc.) I remember listening to this album and being blown away. Subsequently listened to the other Radiohead albums (which I loved) and explored rock music in a way that wouldn't have been possible had it not been for this album.
TY Computer.
Hail to the thief is underrated
Luke Conklin i remember when i bought that album at a circuit city.. cashier lady gave the album props for being great
Nah def one of the weaker albums.
Hail to the thief always underwhelms me
Hail to the Thief was two or three songs too long. Other than that, it's a pretty damn good album. There, There is a masterpiece and 2+2=5 is, without a doubt, their best opener.
Without a doubt? Everything in it's right place or Burn the Witch brah.
Greatest album of all time
Lmao, it’s my favorite rock album of all time too but you can’t just say shit like that my guy
Maybe...
Hmmm. I prefer the is this it and Velvet underground and nico. If you think radiohead is underrated listen to velvet underground.
@@levioficeland1425 WHY NOT ??? IT IS THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME! You can't just tell people that they can't express their opinion.
fantastic video, i love the editing, it looks so classy.
Subtarranean Homesick Alien grew on me more over the years to the point that I feel that is one of their best songs ever. But then again, I can listen to each and every song of theirs without ever knowing how much more each of them can grow on me. Fucking Radiohead... why they have to be so good?
What no Let Down or Electioneering? I feel shortchanged.
The album that first got me into Radiohead - Climbing Up The Walls still gives me fucking chills!
Had the cassette, would listen on Walkman. Started off not liking it beyond the singles, but knowing on some level there was something to it. On about my 7th listen, I fell in love. I remember where I was, and what I was doing when it clicked. The connection I had with it has informed much of my life and much of my appreciation for art over the twenty years since. It's a masterpiece.
Now this is one of the best album ever
Homesick alien made me feel like I was floating the first time I heard it.
hey what's that lucky outro?
it's a demo version
cool, never heard it before.
Nicola S. Yeah, it sounds so raw. Never heard it before.
I've been waiting for this.
The comparisons to other artists and influences are on point.
Really good '5 Minutes.'
Been following and buying every album since Pablo Honey, IMO, there is no other album of theirs that is so complete as OK. A true masterpiece. Sometimes I think people just have to be honest over being different and admit to its brilliance, even if it hurts to endorse the obvious.
Björk's Homogenic and Bowie's Low next ones maybe?
Sebastián Zuñiga yes, please
Kid A in 5 minutes please
For the longest time I ranked this as the best album I’ve ever heard, and it may still be that though I haven’t really thought about that idea for a while. I bought this back in high school and it just blew my mind. I later went on to become a huge fan of electronic music and I think this album, and of course Kid A, opened my mind to that and almost prepared me. The weird sounds, strange production, the beautiful songs and performances, it’s almost perfect. I wish Fitter Happier and Electioneering weren’t on it or it might be perfect. Still it may be the closest album I’ve heard to perfection.
weird fishes arpeggi = goat song
As long as your at it do "in the aeroplane over the sea"
Griffen Desai this.
That album will be forgotten
they did: ruclips.net/video/LcaN759M7MU/видео.html
Mannnnn, what a fucking unbelievable album, nearly every song still sends shiver down my spine
The Tourist is such an amazing song.
Excellent rundown
I bought thi s album the first day it came out in 1997.
Still my all time favorite RH album and in my top three favorite albums of all time.
AVGN rocking a Rickenbacker @ 3:10
😭😂😂
Wow can someone tell me what version of Lucky that is at the end?? So pretty.
It was a year ago, but I think its this: ruclips.net/video/6OkUFkSnHM4/видео.html
You didn't mention my favorite song on this album, "No Surprises". That song is what brought me to the albumin the first place
this series is so good
This is the best series pitchfork does!
one of my favorite albums of all time
I love this series
Still gives me chills
1:15 “(Lucky) was much darker than any of their songs before”
Street spirit?
Fair enough
Ed looks like the only one eating properly.
I would like to hear a segment on that amazing followup.
A masterpiece , still to this day!!
25 years of greatness
“Lucky was darker then anything the band had ever released before” uhhhhhhhh...Street Spirit?
wait whats dark about street spirit
Ok computer in 5 minutes? Exit music.
This series of videos is amazing! Thank you, Pitchfork
maybe I shoulda checked the liner notes but had no idea that was Shadow on Airbag. definitely checks out tho
Subterranean Homesick Alien is my favorite track from the album, but I'm not hearing the Miles Davis influence. And I've listened to Bitches Brew many times. Hmm.
Paranoid Android is a number 1 party anthem
Lol
this is one the albums I cry to the most
A women from EMI international claimed that radiohead went to one of their offices to take some copies of the "brave" album by marillion(1994),while they were creating OK computer,maybe they were just looking for progressive stuff ,but I can see some concepts and similarities between this two albums.
For those who have never listened to "brave" ,"afraid of sunlight" or "radiation" I definitely recommend you to check them out,specially if you really like radiohead.
Is that the regular album mix of Climbing.. ? Sounds.. different.
Loving all of these Liner Notes, they're excellent. x
my 2nd favorite album of all-time. behind the stone roses' debut album.
masterpiece
this is great!
After you release masterpieces like The Bends and Ok Computer, where do you go? For Radiohead, anywhere but up.
Examples: Kid A, Amnesiac, In Rainbows and A Moon Shaped Pool
Awesome
Perfect, faultless album. It defined my youth and shaped my worldview entirely - and it's not even one of my Top 2 favourite Radiohead albums: those would be In Rainbows and Kid A.
I think this album is AMAZING, it's actually the only Radiohead CD I have physically. But In Rainbows is something else, it has become in my favorite.
I've been waiting 20 years for a worthy follow up. The other albums are good, but they're all slow burners. In O.K. Computer every song was immediately accessible and in the hour or so it took to listen to it I felt I had arrived into another dimension. There's nothing else comparable.
F_DeMarco i said they were good, just not great. its all subjective. nothing to do with simple minds.
Anyone know where the demo recording of Lucky at the end of the video is from?
Best musical piece ever made
Is it really 20+ years?! So hard to believe...
my favorite radiohead album... OMG
Can someone give me link to that alternative version of Lucky at the ending?
damn, that version of lucky that plays in the last seconds of the video is pretty cool.
