This was also the first self-produced Radiohead album. It took three years in the making to be released. The Album is unique because of its abstract lyrics, densely layered sound and a wide range of influences which started a trend that became part of the 21st century. The Album was supposed to be inspired by the political writings of Noam Chomsky. The most popular song of the album is Paranoid Android; you can listen to it here.

It sold 441,000 copies in its first-week release and was a massive commercial success. It earned West a Grammy award for the best Rap Album.

Put your headphones on, and enjoy!
