“OK Computer by Radiohead... This particular album seems wonderfully depressing, if that makes sense... One of my favorites is ‘Paranoid Android’ because of this immense guitar playing, like schizophrenic guitar, it’s just off the wall for guitar playing, it shows a lot of variation. One of my favorite songs of all time is ‘Karma Police,’ because it manages to be haunting and depressing yet easy to listen to. The CD was written by Radiohead to show how machines distort people, so it has this sad nuclear fallout feel to it. Every song has a unique character, even though they all have a similar mood. It all has this piercing, haunting metallic sound to it, which is why I like it.”
