OK Computer
Many music writers and fans loved OK Computer. Both English and American writers said the album would be important for a long time, and that the album was new and interesting. It was compared to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, another famous and important album. In the English press, the album got good reviews in NME, Melody Maker, The Guardian, and Q. In North America, Rolling Stone, Spin, and Pitchfork Media published good reviews. In The New Yorker, Alex Ross compared Radiohead's new and artistic music to the more classic rock sounds of Oasis. Ross wrote that "this band has pulled off one of the great art-pop balancing acts in the history of rock."
