OK Computer is the third studio album by English band Radiohead and first released in 1997.
OK Computer was the first self-produced Radiohead album, with assistance from Nigel Godrich. The band made a deliberate attempt to distance themselves from the guitar-oriented, lyrically introspective style of their previous album, 'The Bends.'
'OK Computer's abstract lyrics, densely layered sound and wide range of influences laid the groundwork for Radiohead's later, more experimental work. The album received unanimous critical acclaim and has since been cited by critics and musicians as one of the greatest albums of the 1990s.
