OK Computer (Pt. 1)

The Big Mates discuss Soul Asylum, Baz Luhrmann, R.E.M., and
OK Computer by Radiohead.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career
and discography of Radiohead by tackling their highly praised
third album OK Computer. They talk about the writing and
recording process, the context surrounding the songs, and offer
up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing
perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music,
to not caring for art or critique, and everything in
between.

They touch on how the band created their own studio environment,
the state of the world as the album was being conceived, and the
huge expectations that come with album often being cited as one
of the "greatest of all time."

They also find time to discuss Talk Show Host and the
various influences at play for OK Computer.

What themes are present on this album? Can it possibly live up to
the hype? Has our perception of the album changed over 25 years?
