About
As of 2026, it's 29 years old.
OK Computer is the album where Radiohead stopped being a rock band and became something stranger and more visionary — a paranoid, beautiful meditation on technology, alienation, and modern anxiety that predicted the dread of the coming century with eerie precision. 'Paranoid Android,' 'Karma Police,' and 'No Surprises' sound like the future being nervous about itself.
Routinely cited among the greatest albums ever made, it expanded what rock could sound like and what it could be about.
Visionary, haunting, and prophetic, OK Computer is the album that turned millennial anxiety into art and reshaped the ambitions of rock music.
