Why do fat chicks wear clothes that would be sexy on thin girls, like short skirts and tight tops. I've often pondered this as I bust one off.

Are you a chubby chaser?

ConsiderPhlebas, due to my shortcomings as a writer, this review can be interpreted in many different ways, whether you take some, none, or all of it literally. I respect the way you have interpreted it. However,
It doesn't need any real analysis to see that he thinks he's the emperor of music and his readers should bend to his will
You saying the above goes a little too far. My first few paragraphs are written in context of being an adamant music lover myself, writing to the other adamant music lovers on this site to express an opinion on one of my favorite albums – of which, I knowing, that they may not hold themselves.
You see, in the context of being the listeners, we all play the same game. We are all the same: we love music, and we, my readers, keep our favorite artists alive so that they may record more songs in the future.
While the above could be taken in many different ways, without a love for music, bands would have no reason to exist, they being listeners themselves. As an individual listener, my opinion on an album is just as equally weighted as yours, or whomever. That's all that is saying. I assure you that I am not a musical tyrant who expects others to follow my views on music.
The point is, everything written in this review is opinion. If I think it defines our generation and was the "first" whatever for us, okay; if you don't, that's okay too. If you think the review is the worst you've read on this site and that it's badly written, full of amateur philosophies on music meant for a teenage girls' diary, then that's fine as well. However, I assure you that I do not hold the extreme views that you have stated that I do.
Thank you for the compliments, critiques, and comments, guys.

That comment was read out of context, and was an obviously silly example of sarcasm directed to someone (celestialdust, I think) who said he would smoke crack cocaine if you told him to. Now, I assumed that he wasn't being serious at the time, and that if you instructed him to imbibe extremely dangerous, extremely illegal narcotics he would probably say no. I assumed then that my response wouldn't be taken seriously either. The hyperbole of the statement was a mirror of his own and I never thought for a moment you would take it seriously. While I don't think think you are a tyrant, I chose the figurative image of an emperor, without much thought, because I felt that the review was making vast claims about huge swathes of the human race (which it is), using authoritarian diction (which it does: "they are worthy") and telling people what to do (which it does). I don't believe you hold extreme views and none of my posts directed at you suggest that in the slightest. Frankly, I'm shocked that more than one person took that emperor thing seriously. All the 'faggots' and 'ass hats' that get thrown around and people take offense to something so utterly and so obviously (or so I thought) not serious.
if the Observer tells you to fucking do something you better do it. i'd fucking listen to this while on crack cocaine if he told me to, and considerphlebas i think you've spent more time overanalyzing this review than actually listening to the album
I'll just add that if you look at my posts, you'll see I only criticise the review and not the author. Even if I'd read every word you've ever written my impression would still be that, an impression. So I don't bother. This is actually my primary issue with the review. You say it's your opinion, of which I am very aware, but your opinion stretches to the point where you can decide what is 'best' for a generation. It's my opinion that even on a logical basis it's impossible to state that this or any album is the best for a generation, and this is why I disliked the review. I think that particular statement is arrogant beyond belief, but I don't think you're arrogant beyond belief, because I don't know you. To say categorically that OK Computer is 'our' music, though, is to assume that every person around the world who comes on the net and finds this review is, or must be, a Radiohead fan. The only people it defines anything for is Radiohead fans, and even more specifically those who prefer it to their other work; if you'd simply said that I wouldn't have posted to begin with. I'm a little gutted that you avoid all the questions I asked and focussed solely on a meaningless, indirect insult, but whatever.

Hey I missed this. Review is all up in arms and a little crazy eyed, but what the heck, it's your 150th.
Just... promise that you'll never write an intro like that again.
Also album is definitely generation defining anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Yeah Streetlight, shame for all those who don't like it though

I just don't see it, man. I love the record to death and have done since it came out, but it's a record and that's all. It changed the musically landscape, to some degree, but the musical landscape itself doesn't even define a generation. Attitudes, cultural developments, political trends, dependence on technology, lifestyles: this is the shit that defines generations.

Also album is definitely generation defining anyone who disagrees is wrong.
only for certain subsections of white people
and our opinions are regularly overinflated and silly anyway

This is a cultural document. It reflects all those things you mention, and has been reflected in turn by other cultural documents and statements to a degree which by most accounts would qualify it as "generation defining". Dunno what else to tell you.
| | | Album Rating: 3.5
Meatplow put it more succinctly than I could. But the content of the album doesn't reflect an entire generation or the things I listed, just select parts. This, along with a few hundred other records or entire genres, maybe; but no way does this do it alone.

yes because art cannot define a generation...
