Easy Star All-Stars - Radiodread
- Radiodread is an album from the reggae group Easy Star All-Stars. This album is a re-recording of Radiohead’s album, OK Computer, with two new tracks added.
“Let Down” is the best track on the album. Toots & the Maytals act as guest stars on the song. The reggae and dub influence on the song, in my opinion, make it better than the original version of the song.
“Karma Police” features Clarence Greenwood, a.k.a. Citizen Cope, on vocals. His voice is somewhat haunting, and really captures the essence of the original recording of the song. I enjoyed the reggae beats laid under the original harmony of the song.
“Fitter Happier” confused me. A lot of the lyrics had been changed from the original. I thought the group would stick closer to the original version, but I did like the new reggae additions being made.
I would recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of Radiohead, as well as fans of reggae and dub music.
