As part of their coverage of the 20th anniversary of OK Computer, Pitchfork spoke with noted Radiohead superfan Haley Joel Osment. Here’s what The Sixth Sense star had to say:
OK Computer inaugurated that period in my school years when I could spend every night lost in my headphones as I went to sleep. All the adventurous decisions the band and producer Nigel Godrich made create this sensation that you are passing through different physical spaces during each track; it’s an ecstatic experience listening to it all the way through. There’s grim imagery in the lyrics, but there’s also so much joy in these songs. It’s an album that manages to make “the emptiest of feelings” a genuinely uplifting line.
The 20th anniversary of OK Computer‘s U.S. release is July 1.
