Ok Computer - Radiohead

When Radiohead released their third LP in May 1997, the internet was a dial-up whisper. Mobile phones were bricks. “Anxiety” wasn’t yet a marketing demographic. Yet from the first crackle of “Airbag” – “In the next world war / In a jackknifed juggernaut / I am born again” – Thom Yorke and company were already singing about the disorientation to come.

OK Computer isn’t just a rock album. It’s a claustrophobic travelogue of modern disconnect. “Subterranean Homesick Alien” longs for abduction as an escape from small talk. “Fitter Happier” sounds like a Siri suicide note: a robotic voice reciting a productivity checklist (“no drinking milk / no smoking / more good times”) that becomes chillingly hollow.
