I've always thought that OK Computer would have been better without Electioneering.

You could have said Fitter Happier

To me, Electioneering is to OK Computer what Ignoreland is to Automatic For The People. A faster paced uptempo political song that breaks up both albums very nicely imho

Fitter Happier ties the album together. It is the flavour of the whole thing. But that's just my opinion.

Yeah I agree. It’s adds to the whole “concept album” aspect

I used to feel this way, a bit less so now. But still, there were a lot of options on the eps that probably would have been better picks. To this day, I can’t understand why they didn’t ask me for help on that.

Thank you!! Any of the b-sides would have been better. Can you imagine if Polyethylene or Pearly had been on there in place of Electioneering??

Pearly for sure. And don’t get me started with Amnesiac!!!
