Yet all of this would simply be showmanship if the songs weren't strong in themselves, and OK Computer is filled with moody masterpieces, from the shimmering 'Subterranean Homesick Alien' and the sighing 'Karma Police' to the gothic crawl of 'Exit Music (For a Film). This album was entirely self-produced by Radiohead along with Nigel Godrich, who has produced every one of the band’s albums from that point onwards. It's a thoroughly astonishing demonstration of musical virtuosity and becomes even more impressive with repeated listens, which reveal subtleties like electronica rhythms, eerie keyboards, odd time signatures, and complex syncopations.

The original album defied the expectations of fans and Radiohead’s label, becoming an immediate success.
