Radiohead的处女作《Pablo Honey》虽然十分出色，但现在看来它更像是乐队在为这一张更加舒展的经典《The Bends》所做的准备，热身。同《Pablo Honey》一样，这张唱片的整体音乐构架仍然是建立在不断回旋缭绕的吉他声音之上，三把吉他共同奏出的断断续续的旋律不仅仅是唱片中最为精彩的部分，同时也成为了Radiohead的音乐标志。这种用最传统的乐器所奏出来的不同声响在听觉上创造了一种有力的回馈，它将听者的欲望和痛苦共同挖掘了出来。同时从某种程度上说《The Bends》又是一张深受前人影响的摇滚专辑，偶尔从唱片中你会发现U2,Pink Floyd,R.E.M甚至是The Pixies的影子，但是Radiohead将前人的音乐手法用不同的音乐气质进行了一个极为另类的演绎--专辑中的音乐极具空间感，却并不像Pink Floyd蒙胧缥缈，这就让歌曲听起来更加具有生命力，更富有执着的感情。Thom Yorke那些充满了反复的自问，纠缠，扭曲和欲望的歌词赋予了唱片另外一种忧郁的气质，在音乐之外，一股精神暗流通过他时而温柔时而神经质的演唱传达给了听众。Thom的嗓音应该是让人温暖的，但当感情爆发的时候，你依然能见到它高亢的一面，在汹涌的音乐下这病人般的声音实在令人无法自拔。等到这张唱片出现的时候，摇滚乐已经走过了四十年的路程，而《The Bends》却还是轻易的成为了经典，这正是因为Radiohead在努力创造独特的音乐情绪的同时也保留了摇滚乐的爆发力和极佳的旋律性，这使得这张唱片不仅仅得到了评论家的一致好评，同时也在市场上获得了巨大的成功。直白的说,《The Bends》是一张让你第一次聆听就能被深深吸引，而在接下来的每一次听觉过程中又都能发现新的音乐细节和聆听乐趣的摇滚专辑。

20世纪末摇滚乐传世预言
★1998葛莱美最佳另类音乐专辑、Pitchfork九零年代百大专辑第一名。
★探讨人类集体内在世界，将「另类音乐」艺术化的指标专辑。
「摇滚乐在《OK Computer》里完结与重生，20年后，它仍像一则魔幻的预言。」――陈德政
《OK Computer》在1997年发行后，引起全球一片轰动，一举夺下1998葛莱美最佳另类音乐专辑，Pitchfork九零年代百大专辑更列为第一名。这张专辑将当年的「另类音乐」推向更艺术化的层次，谱写出20世纪人类集体的内在世界，如消费主义、社会疏离感，虽然乐团本身只是想再任性地制作一张新专辑，甚至完全没有想到这是否是一张「概念专辑」。
这张专辑产出了〈Paranoid Android〉、〈Karma Police〉、〈No Surprises〉等传世名曲，然而这些歌曲不是长度太长、就是气氛过于晦暗，唱片公司完全不认为具有商业潜力，结果这些歌曲不但成功打入排行榜，每一支在电视台强力放送的MV，也成为音乐与影像结合的经典范本。
二十周年纪念版除了原专辑的12首歌曲重新后制，还包括8首B-side歌曲、3首未发表歌曲。《OK Computer》不只是代表一个「另类音乐」世代，整张专辑唱出了整个世纪人们的心声，即使2017年的今天，人类还是同样地孤寂。
Featuring Remastered OK COMPUTER, B-Sides and Three Never Before Released Tracks: “I Promise,” “Lift,” “Man Of War” Rescued from defunc t formats, prized from dark cupboards and brought to light after two decades in cold storage… OKNOTOK will be issued June 23 on XL Recordings, coinciding (roughly) with the original 1997 release date(s) of Radiohead’s landmark third album OK COMPUTER. OKNOTOK features the original OK COMPUTER twelve track album, eight B-sides, and the Radiohead completist’s dream: “I Promise,” “Lift,” and “Man Of War.” The original studio recordings of these three previously unreleased and long sought after OK COMPUTER era tracks finally receive their first official issue on OKNOTOK. All material on OKNOTOK is newly remastered from the original analogue tapes. Digital formats, double CD, and triple 180g LP versions of the 23 track album will be released widely on June 23rd. OK COMPUTER was originally released on various dates ranging from May to July 1997. Produced by the band and Nigel Godrich, the album is widely cited as one of the greatest works of Radiohead’s--or any artist’s--catalogue and was the first Radiohead record to reach #1 in the UK and to be be nominated for the Album of the Year GRAMMY. The album features singles “Paranoid Android,” “Karma Police,” “Lucky” and “No Surprises.” In 2015, The National Recording Registry selected OK COMPUTER to be preserved in the Library of Congress as a recording that has proven “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

So here's a new song, called 'These Are My Twisted Words'.
We've been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished.
We're pretty proud of it.
There's other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we've been practising, and which we'll probably play at this summer's concerts. Hope you like it.
