This review is from: Karma Police, CD 1 (Audio CD)

Karma Police is a great single, and quite the spirit of Ok Computer. This single includes two great B-sides as well. One thing to clear up is that this isnt a different version than any other Kamra Police, whether single or album.

The first B-side on here is "Meeting in the Aisle" which is a very pretty electronica tinged instrumental, thats quite Kid A. The thing that I find the most interesting of these OK Computer singles is that they reflect whats to come for Radiohead, now that we know.

"Lull" is much like what we saw on The Bends, only fresher. I thought that the Bends was very similar to much other stuff by not nearly as good bands. They must've copied, but "Lull" is quite a good song.

Again, this is an excellent single to have and to hold, till death do you part. Excellent intro to Radiohead or excellent way to continue with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars For collectors only, March 12, 2004

This review is from: Karma Police / Melatonin / Reminder (Audio CD)

'Karma Police', track 6 of OK Computer, is an exceptionally well-crafted song. Combine that and two other great songs, including 'A Reminder' (one of the best B-side tunes available from Radiohead), and you have yourself a worthy collectible item.

Take notice that I have used the phrase, 'worthy collectible item' instead of 'worthy purchase'. I say this to suggest that it is only worth buying if you are a dedicated Radiohead fan, looking to build a collection. However, a more 'worthy purchase' would be the "No Surprises/Running Away From Demons EP", as it includes the same two B-sides, plus three additional ones and one other OK Computer single.

5.0 out of 5 stars Karma Police, February 7, 2000

This review is from: Karma Police / Melatonin / Reminder (Audio CD)

This single,is arguably radiohead at their most perceptive. What makes this single work is directness of the lyric and the simplicity of the sound. The rhythm is insistent, the vocals fragile and strained, which results in a chilling record.

One not to be forgotten while we are 'still on the payroll'.
