'OK Computer' is Radiohead's masterpiece breakthrough album, as if you didn't know that already. From beginning to end, the sound this release protrudes was a new fresh direction for Thom Yorke and the boys back in '97. Filled with eerie electronics, distorted guitars and a pace that makes one feel as if they own all the time in the world, this release is overflowing with emotions. Recorded out in the middle of nowhere in a makeshift studio shed, far away from the diversions of city life, the entire project took a full year to complete. A few recordings of this album also took place in St Catherine's Court, a historic mansion in UK built in 1594. Personal favorites include "Lucky", "Subterranean homesick alien" and the ever winning "Climbing up the walls".I scooped this up at the now defunct (of course) Virgin Megastore in Union Square back in 2004.
