## Description

Radiohead's OK Computer: 15 (33 1/3) : Dai Griffiths: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Worth A Read - I believe that the previous reviews of this book are somewhat unfair and unfocussed, condemning this book as eith nonacademic or soullessly clinical. I would like to interject however, as I believe both outlooks to be flawed as they seem to skew the content to the point where I was not sure if I was reading the same book as other reviewers. A previous review states that the book is nothing more than florid prose and statements of track lengths and key signatures, which I would denounce as being wholly inaccurate. Griffiths seeks to contextualize OK Computer in the time period that it was released, raises some quite valid points and is overall very passionate about her subject matter, writing in a style reminiscent of Paul Morley's "Words and Music". Is this book perfect though? In a word 'no': Griffiths could definitely have expanded on some sections of her material although there is a reasonable amount of in-depth analyses present. Her love of lengthy and at times questionable quotation was somewhat of a hinderance, but not necessarily the death of this book. I gave this five stars to offset the somewhat unfairly over critical rating given by previous reviewers. Although I find the star rating system somewhat redundant I shall simply say that this book is worth reading. If you're looking for some analysis into the career of 'Radiohead' or contextual analysis of OK Computer you can do a lot worse than 33 1/3's "OK Computer". I would not however, suggest completely ignoring this book as I have found it a valuable asset into further understanding of the bands creative intention and the entity that is "OK Computer".
Review: Waste of time - The author spends most of the book droning on about “what is an album?” before quickly running through all the songs in a very half-arsed manner. Contains nothing interesting or insightful about OK Computer, this is by far the worst 33 1/3 book I’ve read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ honest
*by A***N on 23 February 2009*

The book is good if you are looking for an analysis into cover, length of songs, a description of lyrics and music and a politicsl discussion into how the album situates itself in 1997. However it does not feature music analysis to any extensive degree and I fear that other books by Simon Frith will take you closer to understanding the music itself. Well written is however certainly the case. By Allan Nellemann
