I bought OK Computer first a few years ago. Didn't really get it. Gave it a few more chances, and then put it up for a while. Then I busted it out years later and it started clicking, enough to get me interested enough to buy The Bends. Now that one (The Bends) had me hooked from the start, so I go back to OK Computer and it has clicked officially.
My question though (sorry to hijack your thread OP) is where should I go now? I'm no diehard fan, but I want to get more into them. I know Kid A is probably gonna be the majority response, but I've heard bits of it and I guess I'm intimidated so.....what should I do?
get 'hail to the thief." i always felt that musically, it was the bridge between OK computer and kid A... if you still are interested in hearing more after HTTT, i would recommend listening to kid a.
personally, kid a is my favorite... but for someone a little wary of jumping right into it, i would recommend going the route i just described.
ok computer is one of my all time favorite albums, without question - the first 6 tracks on that album is just plain fucking fantastic. but personally i feel ok computer looses quite a bit of steam the second half:
no surprises is plain boaring and the tourist is a rediculously weak attempt at closing such a glorious album.

IMO kid A is their masterpiece. i own all of their albums minus pablo honey, and 6 eps. they are are up there with pearl jam for me.
