 Mind you, I am a Radiohead fan.......... July 8, 2008
Absolute genius. I never thought that I would be able to listen to, let alone own, a "reggae" album. Karma Police and No Surprises make it worth the buy on their own.
Genius
 At the controls April 27, 2008
I love reggae and I love Radiohead so it makes sense that I should admire deeply the new album by a host of classic reggae artists (Horace Andy, Sugar Minott etc.) recording under the banner Easy Star All-Stars. They have come up with a reggae version of OK Computer called Radiodread (what else?!) and, despite reservations as I usually dislike such `novelties', I reckon it's a cracking listen. The production is superb and it is obvious that a lot of work and thought and , importantly, affection went into making it. The singing and playing are tight and uplifting throughout and all the re-examined and revamped songs benefit from such an unusual approach. The little touches render it a delight. The Augustus Pabloesque melodica that introduces Subterranean Homesick Alien is a lilting joy while the dub effects that permeate the bass-heavy Exit Music (For a Film) are reminiscent of Lee Perry or Mikey Dread. And I love the lyric towards the end of Paranoid Android where `Jah loves his children' instead of God. This could become one of the surprise hits of the year in Cole-world.
Better than the original? April 3, 2008

After the inspired miracle that was the sublime trip to the Dub side - where could the Easy Star gang go?
Well - By now you know.
I caught them at a last minute gig at the Leeds Irish Centre in August 2007, in what felt like a warm up show.
There can't have been many more than 50 people in a venue where i have seen ten times that number for the Indigo Girls or Mr Bungle. Felt like a warm summer night in a dancehall. Lots of room for us and the music to breathe.....
They said they had something special they wanted to play for us - and they had.
The fractured beauty of Ok Computer - but buffed up in a deep, dark dub.
Don't get me wrong, the original album is a work of genius, but this version captures the heart of the music with a serene sense of clarity.
You may hate it - that is your choice.
Me? - I play it more often than the beloved original.
Mark Ronson take note February 5, 2008
This reworking of another classic album is more than a set of remixes. In keeping with the original it is in itself an engrossing, complicated but most of all a really enjoyable album to listen to. As previously demonstrated with Dub Side of the Moon, the Easy Star All-Stars have again managed to apply an entirely different genre this time to Radioheads OK Computer and create a new masterpiece in its own right!
I defy anyone including the most die-hard Radiohead obsessives to listen to the opening bars of the first track Airbag with Horace Andy's haunting vocals and not want to hear more
Dare I say better than the original (which has been voted the best album of all time in various polls)? Clearly that is subjective but having both on my iPod I have no doubts as to which version I will choose.
Even better than Dub Side of the Moon October 16, 2007
I was surprised and delighted when I came across Radiodread. I'd not long purchased Dub Side of the Moon and been very impressed with that - not least how the reggae rhythms enhanced rather than detracted from the original. Radiodread strikes me as even better, although that may be because I'm a bigger Pink Floyd fan than Radiohead fan, so I'm perhaps not so emotionally attached to the original. A very fine album and highly recommended. That said, nobody can hold a candle to Thom Yorke's "Exit Music (For a Film)" vocals.
