Unsurprisingly, "OK Computer" sounds eerily prescient in light of today's post-election gloom. Skepticism and cynicism abound, as does disaffection and a morose outlook on life. Released in 1997, the record is a sophisticated critique of a society on the verge of a technological zeitgeist. However, "OK Computer"- named after a phrase the band heard in an audio version of Douglas Adams' "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"- is a special exception. The retro fanfare might seem out of character for the Oxford, England-formed quintet, whose entire career has been predicated on forward motion and defiant self-invention. Called "OKNOTOK 1997-2017," the deluxe release features remastered audio of the original album, b-sides and three unreleased tracks that have long been fan favorites: "I Promise," "Man Of War" and "Lift."
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of "OK Computer," Radiohead is releasing a special edition of the album.
