I'm usually leery of tribute albums, especially when they're for an album I revere as much as Ok Computer. But, overall, this one isn't bad. I like that some of the artists weren't afraid to really put their own spin on the songs (Doveman's "Airbag" being a great example and one of my favorite tracks) - slavish devotion is what makes most tribute albums boring.
Favorites: The aforementioned "Airbag", Marissa Nadler's "No Surprises", and My Bightest Diamond's "Lucky". That last one is so good, I have to check out one of their full lengths.
Also, how much do I love your icon on this post?!
