The band did not like that their songs were called "art" when they thought their songs were pop music. Some members of the band thought the press loved it too much. Radiohead found it hard to deal with how much people liked OK Computer. It was a nominee for the 1997 Mercury Prize, a prestigious award recognising the best British or Irish album of the year. Many magazines listed it as the best or second best of the year. The album appeared in many 1997 critics' lists and listener polls for best album of the year. Robert Christgau from The Village Voice called it "arid" art rock. However, not all critics enjoyed the record. Ross wrote that "this band has pulled off one of the great art-pop balancing acts in the history of rock." In The New Yorker, Alex Ross compared Radiohead's new and artistic music to the more classic rock sounds of Oasis. In North America, Rolling Stone, Spin, and Pitchfork Media published good reviews. In the English press, the album got good reviews in NME, Melody Maker, The Guardian, and Q. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, another famous and important album. Both English and American writers said the album would be important for a long time, and that the album was new and interesting. Many music writers and fans loved OK Computer. "Paranoid Android" reached No.3 in the UK.
