Radiodread producer and arranger Michael Goldwasser said:
OK Computer has elements that are perfect [for reggae] – strong melodies, intense dynamics and trippy soundscapes. On the other hand, it has complex time signatures, lots of chord changes and things that typically aren't found in reggae. However, the more we looked at it, the more we realized that this was an album we had to do.
The track listing is identical to OK Computer's, and no songs were changed by the
Easy Star All-Stars, except for "Fitter Happier" (which has slightly altered lyrics to fit the style, with permission from Radiohead), and "Paranoid Android". The new lyrics are essentially the same, but phrased differently, including some Jamaican
patois. For example, "God loves his children" becomes "
Jah loves his children".
