why is this so acclaimed? it sounds like any other alternative

>>73202413
blame all the reddiohead scum who fell for the rym meme

I know, this album and Kid A are nothing special or innovative. Anyone that thinks Radiohead are anything new should listen to Main - Motion Pool

>it sounds like any other alternative rock album from the 90s
Name some.

>>73202413
what ablum is this?

>>73202444
I always saw this album as Nevermind for artschool students who are not really into music, but think they are

>>73202529
that's a really vague analogy without any real substance

>>73202529
haha - that is some stupid shit!

>>73202546
I guess the substance would be comparison of the lyrics since radiohead fans care about it the most

>>73202529
because you're a pretentious asshole?

>>73202529
What the fuck, literally how

>>73202529
NAME SOME MOTHERFUCKET

>>73202529
>Nevermind
It's doesn't sound like Nevermind at all. it's compositionally more complex, the lyrics more impressionistic, Thom more falsetto, drum programming and other instruments featured such as piano, mellotron, glockenspiel, etc

>>73202413
if you know that it's acclaimed then you know why it's acclaimed, surely

>>73202529
>>73202580
Excuse me, sir. Could you please name some examples instead of flinging random shit at the wall and hoping for something to stick.
>>73202625
What a strange assumption to make.

>>73202580
you picked out the aspect that fans probably care the least about

>>73202603
>>73202647
he did

He cant even name 3!

Thread is debunked!

>>73202679
No he didnt. He couldn't even name one

>>73202679
you would have to be musically inept to think that nevermind and ok computer are alike

>>73202647
>What a strange assumption to make.
hardly. if something is acclaimed that means a lot has been written positively about it. you know, like reviews, which serve the purpose of explaining why the author thinks it's good

>>73202413
>it sounds like any other alternative rock album from the 90s
No, it's much more limp-dicked than the alternative rock albums that came before it.

>>73202679
The fuck. Can you read?

>>73202679
He really didnt when it comes straight down to it...itd be me saying downward spiral metallica of the 90s rem automatic and blur all sound the same though in a way i suppose they do!

>>73202699
yeah its like they toned down the fast heavy angst and replaced it with substance

>>73202717

I think it's because conceptual album rock was so rare at the time. It stood out as being unique, because of this.

My favorite Pink Floyd album has always been Wish You Were Here, and you know why? It has soul, that's why--it's Roger Waters's lament for Syd, not my idea of a tragic hero but as long as he's Roger's that doesn't matter. Radiohead wouldn't know a tragic hero if they were cramming for their A levels, and their idea of soul is Bono, who they imitate further at the risk of looking even more ridiculous than they already do. So instead they pickle Thom Yorke's vocals in enough electronic marginal distinction to feed a coal town for a month. Their art-rock has much better sound effects than the Floyd snoozefest Dark Side of the Moon. But it's less sweeping and just as arid. B-

>>73202722
thats why when you play their songs on piano it doesnt turn to utter shit like 99.9% of artists

>>73202529

If you think OK Computer even mildly resembles Nevermind then you listen to music even less than these art school student's you're whining about.

>>73202529
this is embarrassing

>>73202753
What instrument does Shitgau play again?

>>73202413
Pablo Honey and the Bends both suck, OKC has
>flawless production
>colourful range of instrumentation
>influence from jazz, electronic music and 20th century classical
>really well-written songs with complex structures, unusual rhythmic choices (not just weird time signatures), sophisticated and chromatic harmonies, use of counterpoint etc.
It probably isn't even in my top 10 of the decade but it is definitely a great album.

>>73202605
>mellotron
Wait, when?

>>73202916
Exit Music
>>73202908
>Bends both suck
Don't be stupid, The bends has half of that as well

>>73202529
this analogy is as shitty as they get

>>73202908
Pablo Honey has 4 good songs, and The Bends is great.

>>73202580
you serious? I'd be a millionaire if I had a dollar every time a radiohead fan said the band "uses vocals as instruments". Lyrics are definitely not what is praised the most about OK Computer, nor what makes it a classic.
