OK Computer is frequently hailed as Radiohead’s masterpiece, and for good reason. The album never misses, from the opening guitar riff of “Airbag” to the final lyrics of “The Tourist”. OK Computer manages to be both more revolutionary and more easily palatable than most of Radiohead’s other works. The result is a stunningly beautiful and reasonably accessible album.

Radiohead’s 2001 album Amnesiac is a highly interesting listen. One of its most noticeable traits, apparent from the beginning, is the diversity of sounds presented by all the different tracks. “Life in a Glasshouse” and “Pyramid Song” are two examples of songs that are both more conventional music than much of the rest of the album. They incorporate elements of jazz, and they flow very naturally and are beautiful to listen to.

The King of Limbs is an album that highlights Radiohead’s well-known method of pushing the boundaries of music to create art that challenges the listener. This album is one of their most adventurous in that it resembles an “atmosphere” more than it does a conventional listening experience. The lyrics are cryptic and vague, giving rise to many interpretations.

A Moon Shaped Pool is one of Radiohead’s most personal works, an incredible feat when one considers that their discography includes albums like In Rainbows. However, A Moon Shaped Pool leans perhaps farther away from conventional rock than any other Radiohead album before it. It favors stripped-down piano arrangements and orchestral and choral elements that only elevate the impact of the beautiful lyrics and musicianship.
