1998格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》裡完结与重生，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製作一张新专辑，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首歌曲重新后製，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。
Radiohead will mark the 20th anniversary of OK Computer with a special deluxe reissue. The archival set has been dubbed, OKNOTOK, and is set for a June 23rd release through XL Recordings.
A press release describes OKNOTOK, as a “Radiohead completist’s dream,” as the tracklist includes the original 12-song album, its eight B-sides, and three unreleased recordings: “I Promise”, “Lift”, and “Man Of War”. All material on OKNOTOK has been newly remastered from the original analogue tapes.
OKNOTOK will be available in a variety of configurations, including digitally, as a double CD, and as a triple LP vinyl. A more expansive “boxed edition” will ship in July, featuring a black box emblazoned with a dark image of a burned copy of OK Computer containing three heavyweight 180-gram black 12-inch vinyl records and a hardcover book chronicling more than thirty artworks (many of which have never been seen before) and full lyrics to all the tracks. “Under this weighty tome are yet more surprises: a notebook containing 104 pages from Thom Yorke’s library of scrawled notes of the time, a sketchbook containing 48 pages of Donwood and Tchock’s ‘preparatory work’ and a C90 cassette mix tape compiled by the band, taken from OK Computer session archives and demo tapes,” according to the press release.
Pre-orders for all varieties of OKNOTOK are ongoing.
