Yeah it's a fantastic album. Definitely in my top 30 favorite albums. I saw them when they did a reunion tour in Baltimore before they released that god awful new album of theirs.
This album and Reinventing Axl Rose are probably my favorite "modern" punk albums.
I don't even really like Radiohead aside from Hail to the Thief but I still think that they're better than Fugazi and Husker Pu because they don't just tell and play sloppy power chords really fast. Lyrics are all they have going for them really.
Most of their post Bends albums feel like they have unnecessary layers to them that add nothing particularly interesting to them. Like I said OKC is very texturally rich with more creative guitar arrangments and electronic elements (to be fair these actually somewhat add to the albums narrative of feeling like a robot but their use is still too excessive to be subtle) but they feel like they exist for the sake of being there to make the music sound like it has a bigger message. Kid A has always sounded like an alt rock album to me which uses an IDM mask. Its main theme which connects the songs is depression (that's how it seems to me) so they made it electronic so it appears colder to convey the theme more genuinely but they totally fucked up in that aspect because they approached IDM with an alt rock perspective so it comes off as trying too hard to be deep. The rest of their albums either work on a similar shtick (except for In Rainbows which isn't that bad but it's cliche as fuck). So I guess I'm trying to say that they care too much about the presentation of their message and kind of seem to value it more than the message itself in an attempt to appear artistic. That's why I think they're style over substance personally
Today I learned that Radiohead use effects and that this somehow drowns our lyrics
