OK Computer and the Death of the Classic Album

Considered one of the defining albums of the 1990s, Radiohead.s OK
Computer was released at a pivotal point in music history.during one
of the last years when an album was meant to be listened to in its
entirety and songs were not yet available for individual download.

This guide provides track-by-track dissection of every song produced
during the OK Computer recording sessions, including B-sides, and
illustrates how the 1997 album is a collection of songs purposefully
placed next to one another. Themes prevalent on the album.such as
fear of the new millennium, paranoia, political sloganeering, and
suicide.and its artistic and political influences are explored, while
discussions of the state of the music industry during the album.s
release provide rare insight into the improbability of a similarly
phenomenal record ever being created.
