What is Ok Computer?
1.
The most overrated album of all time. It is a band, like Mars Volta, that has been accepted as "a good band". I.e., it's a safe band to like, because it's commonly accepted as "good music".
The album is simply average. Everyone is just fucking insane about Radiohead because they haven't heard enough music.
Idiot 1: OMG OK COMPUTER is TEH BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!! RADIOHEAD IS THE BEST BAND EVER, EVER, IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY.
Less Stupid Person: Have you even hear 1% of the albums that exist? Wow, it's funny how you think Radiohead is high class when it's really just alright. What an idiot.

Best defined as what it isn't:
The Bends part 2.
Which is a shame.
Some parts of it are OK, but OK computer isn't even on the same level as The Bends. This album signaled the end of Radiohead as a truely great band, and the start of their decent into random, irrelevent, pretentious, student pleasing rubbish.
Please, please, give yourselves a slap and write another classic.

3.
One of the most amazing albums of all time. Recorded by Radiohead in 1997. More intellectual than their first two albums, but equally, if not more, hard rocking (in some parts) and more beautiful and genre-defining in other parts.
OK Computer fucking kicks ass.
