but is it better than this and sounds better sonically, too.

For a band with some absolute stinker song titles MorningMrMagpie takes the biscuit. Fucking diabolical.

someone wrote a really negative review of that Thom Yorke Anima album that kinda touched on the Lame aspects of radiohead. not that song titles rly matter--he was talkin more generally--but it is funny. do people fuck with "fitter happier"?

Fitter Happier is an interlude and in the context of OK Computer is enjoyable
Interludes/postludes/transition tracks/palette cleansers prob shouldn't be measured the same way regular songs are since they exist mostly as an aid to other songs
Hunting Bears, MK1, MK2, Genchildren etc

Packt Like Sardines is actually top 5 Radiohead and if you rate it low you're prob lame and think The Bends is better than Amnesiac or something

Packt like Sardines is indeed great, but there’s a few others on Amnesiac that’re even better.

"packt" is in the middle for me. sets the stage well, and it's cool how it kinda has that fairly gradual nothing-to-something effect but regardless the stage it sets is not one I particularly enjoy lookin @
I'm less interested in "fitter happier" as good or bad sonically or whatever so much as like idk
does it seem Lame now to be so 1984-ish
is 1984 lame
maybe it's cuz we're afraid to stare social truths in the face

The song is fine, the title (original topic!!!) is ehh
As for Fitter Happier, ig I see it as one of the most of-it's-time things on OK Computer and rate it as a paranoid zeitgeist snapshot. It's crass and would sound stupid in a moot way if it dropped today, but i don't think that needs to detract given that the same goes for the whole album to a lesser degree (and if you start slamming OKC for generational paranoia, you have gone Too Far, my chap)
that said, a lot of Radiohead's imagery and aesthetic definitely does carry the Lame brand and I'd love to read that Anima rev if you've got a link?

I think it is very of its time yeah, and that judging it based on today's aesthetic/social precepts is lightly anachronistic (also, what if their precepts were better than ours?). dont wanna start an argument entirely based on gestures towards Cool and Lame based on what I perceive to be other people's takes
might also be a self deprecating gesture tho, I used to post that "1=2 1=2 1=2 1=2 1=2 WE_ HO/PE Y OU CH_OKE" shit all the time lolol

I view fitter happier soley as a context piece in ok computer. Would never listen to it in isolation, but it works well within the album

for a second I thought that kind of comment was Missing the point but maybe it is /I/ who is missing it
I guess all that rly matters is the internal criterion that OK Computer (1997) generates a sonic and philosophical context hospitable to the kinda disarmingly precise ("on the nose" another way to put it) manner of critique within "fitter happier". sometimes you don't have to come at these things edgewise...
