 What a terrible idea? July 4, 2007
A. healy-gardner (Pontefract, West Yorks)

When I first came across this album my first thought was 'oh no!' Along with many others I consider OK Computer to be Radiohead's finest moment and the prospect of it being turned into a novelty item filled me with, excuse the pun, dread. However having listened to the album I've got to say it is one of the best albums I now own. Honestly it is that good. I always thought No Surprises was a song that could have been covered in many different styles, but I never thought of Airbag as a contender. Credit to the Easy Star All Stars, this is a brilliant piece of work. If you like Radiohead, buy it. If you like reggae, buy it. If you like Radiohead and reggae you've just reached nirvana. Now there's an idea!
Astonishing achievement September 20, 2006

Like the other reviewers, I was blown away by Dub Side to the point where the original album just sounds flat by comparison, so I was very excited when I heard about the AllStars' next project.
On the first listen I was blown away by Airbag, and for me the Toots and the Maytals version of Let Down is the stand-out track. Others that shine are Karma police and Paranoid Android.
With each listen, I find more subtleties in the mix, and really come to understand what the sleeve notes mean when they say they came to find the reggae spirit in the original. It's a different work to Dub Side, more subtle, darker and perhaps even more rewarding ultimately.
This album really is a must for any Radiohead fans who are not too uptight, and for any reggae fans whether they like Radiohead or loathe them.
It is an astonishing achievement and represents a band and a producer at the top of their game.

Reggae has crossed into the mainstream on more than one occasion over the years. Peter Tosh recording for and with Mick Jagger, and Horace Andy appearing on every album Massive Attack have made are just two examples. How, then, do Oxford's finest, Radiohead, enter the Reggae/Rock arena? By releasing a critically acclaimed modern-prog album called OK Computer nearly ten years ago, that's how. No, you haven't missed a true roots classic, neither was there a heavy dub track among the miserablisms. In fact, it's an album lacking any reggae credentials whatsoever apart from its songs of urban ennui and despair at the government and modern life; themes rather fitting for a Reggae workout. All Radiohead needed to do was sit back and wait for the folks at Easy Star to give it a good working over.
The result is "Radiodread - OK Computer" from Easy Star All-Stars, that wonderful collective who were responsible for "Dub Side of the Moon," the astonishing dub re-recording of the Pink Floyd psyche/prog album "Dark Side of the Moon." This was an idea that had eluded everyone until they heard it (heard of it, even) at which point palms struck foreheads with assorted gasps amounting to "of course! It's so obvious!" "Radiodread" comes with excellent credentials, then.
Due to Radiohead's "interesting" and varied methods versus reggae's seeming simplicity this is a really inventive re-working. In spite of that it is still obviously OK Computer, just very reggae/dubby.
The guests include Horace Andy, Sugar Minott, Toots and the Maytals, Israel Vibration and many more, and all are used to wonderful effect. Airbag (Horace Andy), Karma Police (Citizen Cope) and No Surprises (The Meditations) are the absolute standout tracks, but in all honesty every track shines. Each one is true to its original yet Easy Star All Stars have managed to stamp their mark, and reggae, on to this outstanding album.
If you are a Radiohead fan you must but this. If you are a reggae fan then you too must buy this. In fact, every fan of contemporary music should buy this.
I can't stop playing this June 9, 2007

I loved Easy All Stars "Dub side of the moon" but I adore this. It's brilliant and I've been playing it to death. Not only does it stand on its own as a great reggae album, but it breathes new life into some songs that were great in the first place and makes you appreciate them even more. Only the stuffiest Radiohead fan could be affronted by this. I'm sure even Thom must be enjoying this lovingly performed tribute to his genius
Buy this album January 20, 2007

Some other reviewers have said that they prefer Dub side of the Moon to Pink Floyd's original. I agree. The same goes for this album - Radiodread is in my opinion better than the original OK Computer. It's more accessible, infectious and soulful. Lovers of Radiohead and Reggae simply must own this. Of course, the original is fantastic, but I stopped listening to it years ago. Can't wait to hear what they cover next. Hope it's something unexpected. Personally I'd like to hear Leftism by Leftfield, but whatever it is I'll be buying it.
