is OK Computer a terrible album y/n

come on guys this is a sock

It changed my life by giving me a whole philosophy about the beauty of life! I stopped doing stupid stuff and started working on myself. Could a "fucking terrible album" do that?

... Yes?

Hey I'm just telling you what worked for me!

are you still eating cans and boots

I mean, you are asking this in a world where people are listening to Drake and Taylor Swift

How can something be terrible if it makes you a better person?

Ha ha man hanging out under the bridge was dumb OK! but Kurt used to do it and it was a good place to think and get away

whoa, thread got ~deep~

only 100 people bought OK Computer at the time but every single one of them went out and lived under a bridge

so what constitutes an "interesting" melody in your opinion? it's not like you can play this stuff on a piano with one finger, like it's Nickelback or something

Isn't a melody by definition something that you can play on the piano with one finger?

Not necessarily. in its strictest definition a melody is a series of sequential notes; the intervals between those notes may make playing the line with one finger challenging.

what if it's a really long finger?

then you're screwed with faster rhythms

So basically better melodies use legato?

long finger, screwed. got it.

lol

I'm not really sure what constitutes a better or worse melody. I'm trying to figure out how you can say "if you know the most basic music theory, Radiohead have bad melodies" and instantly thought of the song "Photograph" by Nickelback

"if you know the most basic music theory, Radiohead have bad melodies"

Again, this is not what I said.

makes me so happy frogbs and gabbneb have found each otherthat i'm dancing with tears in my eyes to lucky rite now

Again, this is not what I said.

then what exactly are you trying to say?

Do you even know what a hitler hairdo is?

FWIW my drone friends still like to listen to fridge buzz

This has to be one of the stupidest threads in ILX history.

I just can't believe Geir hasn't shown up yet.

idk if geir is on the sandbox.

"It would be interesting to see how the world would be different if Dick Cheney really listened to Radiohead's OK Computer. I think the world would probably improve. That album is fucking brilliant. It changed my life, so why wouldn't it change his?" - Chris Martin

That guy should not give interviews.

or make music

Or make anymore records IMO IIRC.

Cross-post, but Oh Noes beat me to it.

the easier the zing, the faster my fingers

the faster your treefingers

fitter happier
more reductive

Ha!

XD

if by "changing his life," chris martin means ok computer inspired him to make music, i'm changing my vote to "fucking terrible album."

I want a Chris & Gwyneth reality show so I can hear more shit just like that

Chris Martin is right! I don't like his music but if listening to OK Computer got him that babe Gwyneth then you can't say it's that terrible!

Gwyneth was totally insufferable and intolerable until, like, 3 years ago?

and now she's . . . ?

vegan!

lol
