OK Computer ages well. In a special edition commemorating the first release back in 1997, all songs are newly mastered. The album was a breakthrough for the English alternative rockers and according to many critics it did more than that. Some consider it one of the best albums of all time. At the time, the band said that the album was not conceptual, but the lyrics constantly touched on consumerism, the disintegration of society, nihilism and political stagnation.
