Album: OKNOTOK 1997-2017

Artist: Radiohead

Behold OK Computer, one of the great records of the 1990s - a masterpiece in any era. The new 20 year reissue is remastered (did it really need it?) and contains unreleased songs that any Radiohead fanatic would savor. All were recorded around the time of OK Computer and are that good they could have been on the original version. I Promise and Man of War are both extravagant and adventurous songs easily able to fit within Radiohead’s anxious alt-rock world. The rest of the B-sides hint at the jittery, electro minimalism of Kid A. And then of course there is the majesty of the original – as perfect and original as it was 20 years ago.
