Title: An absolute waste...
Review: If you have any interest in learning about Radiohead's amazing album "OK Computer", then I implore you NOT to buy this book. The author, Dai Griffiths, wastes a full 34 pages before even beginning to discuss "OK Computer". In the first 34 pages the author covers topics like "The CD Album", "Against The CD Album: the continued presence of the vinyl model", and "Genuinely Extended Song Forms". Once the reader has labored through all the un-needed minutae the author thought was pertinent for the reader to understand the story of how "OK Computer" came to be, it's all academic. None of the chapters cover the artistic area of the album's creation or the artist's emotions. Dai Griffiths would be a wonderful writer to hire for the writing of a math or science text book, but for god's sake keep this writer away from the arts
