Getting a late start on this one coming out of Thanksgiving weekend... It doesn't get much more cliche than dropping a Radiohead album in a club themed around the 90s. There are way more popular bands, but I don't know if there's one that's more divisive on a mass scale than Radiohead. Love them or hate them, it's hard to argue that they're not intentional. I guess that's what I love most about them. They approach their music with an almost unreasonable expectation for it's artistic integrity. They're purposefully innovative. They're embrace both the digital and analogue. They're insanely meticulous in their production. They're one of those bands that you recognize within a few seconds -- because they're cultivated a sound of their own despite reinventing themselves time and time again. There are a few albums that would have fit the bill here, but I went with OK Computer. This one feels like their teenage years, moving from adolescence of Pablo Honey and The Bends to a more abstract, synthetic, conceptual phase that would set them on a path for the rest of their career. Let's dig in!
