Glasse Factory, Radiohead, What More Could You Want?
Twenty-six years have passed, and the ideas explored in Radiohead’s magnum opus, OK, Computer, continue to ring true today. On the heel of their sophomore effort, The Bends, the group needed to re-assess and evaluate their sound’s direction.
With the legacy of Creep still looming over their shoulders, Radiohead would have to decide if they would make “The Bends Part-Two” or transcend what was expected of them and experiment with an entirely different atmosphere. What followed would shape the direction of the band and Alternative Rock as a whole. Considered the greatest rock record of all time by critics and masses alike, Radiohead truly pushed the boundaries of what guitar music could actually do. Culturally, aesthetically and historically significant, the album is as topical today as it was in 1997. Selling nearly 8 million records in the process; when others looked away from the perils of society, Radiohead did not shy away from them, portraying a world full of drudge and technological mundanity.
