Tripe. OK Computer is a unified thematic piece in all senses. If you never spotted that, then you couldn't have given it much serious attention - in which case, I find it odd, since you seem to be a Radiohead fan and any Radiohead fan ought to have realized that OK Computer is pretty much a concept album (if not literally, then effectively). Hell, there's more thematic unity to OK Comp than there is to Kid A.

Nobody's particularly able to give any reasons as to
why it is better than OKC, other than it just simple being the case. It loses on all counts of what makes an album good:
- quality of specific material
- consistency of general material
- flow and congruity
- thematic unity
- just simple good f'cking songs!
