Ah, no!
- [Girl] : The title track
was an immediate flop
because citizens of
the '90s were not ready
for their brilliance,
and the lyrics were
kind of a major downer.

Record buyers weren't buying it,
and even the band, quote
unquote, thought it was crap.
- [Girl] : They quickly
moved on to promoting
their next two singles.
- [Girl] : Thom Yorke
consistently complained
about the stress of
being in the public eye,
and was openly disdainful
to the mainstream
American audiences that
made the band famous.

inarguable; the greatest album
of all time; Ok Computer.
Giving Prog Rock a turn of

which is more intelligent
and less pop friendly than
Ok Computer.
- It solidified the bands
reputation as the worlds most
aesthetically challenging rock star's.
- The greatest album of all time.
- By the time group tackled
the messed up state of
the world politics on the
more guitar heavy greatest
album of all time, Hail to the
Thief, the band had band of
the radical transparency and
embraced an aggressively more
cryptic approach.
- In 2007 after leaving
their label EMI they let fans
pay what they wanted for the
digital version of In Rainbows,
which would become one of
their best reviewed albums
because it's basically one
of the greatest albums of
all time.
- The more dedicated of us
scoured the record for hidden
clues that connected it back
to Ok Computer and used fan
sites to exchange theories and
talk about how if Radiohead
were an ice cream flavor it
would be every flavor mixed
together.
- Four years later, they
pulled the greatest prank of
all time; by releasing
King of Limbs digitally,
a day earlier than its
scheduled release date.

English: 
- [Boy] : Breaking new
creative ground by sampling
and looping their own
recordings, the album
had a more noticeable emphasis on rhythm.
- 2016 saw a Radiohead
shift into digital obscurity
by deleting their entire
social media presence.
This led to the release of their
9th greatest album of all
time, A Moon Shaped Pool.
- This album represented a return of form,
with songs that dated back
to as far as the mid-90's.
Just in time to celebrate
the 20th anniversary
of OK Computer with a
new expanded reissue,
which we'll be selling in the
hall after our presentation.
- Making increasingly
difficult albums that seemed
almost intentionally designed
to make them US popular,
whilst still filling
arenas full of fans with
the intellect to recognize
the music's importance.
(sniffing)
- And we think they're really,
really, really, really,
really, really, really,
really, really good.
The end.
