Radiohead - The Best Of Radiohead [2008]

Editorial Review:

Description:
Collecting some of the best-loved cuts from the band's tenure with Parlophone records, this celebration of Radiohead isthe ideal place for the novice to begin. In no way chronologically or progressively structured, this 'Best Of' containssingles and the more popular album tracks, mostly from the band's first three albums. Material from the second three albums recorded for Parlophone feature less, but notable favourites such as 'Idioteque' and '2+2=5' are worthy inclusions.Monster singles 'Just', 'Paranoid Android' and 'Street Spirit' will be familiar to most, and are prime examples of Radiohead's early/mid period sound. The second disc focuses on later, more left-field material, and includes a live version of 'True Love Waits'.

- NO!
What a aweful way to listen to radiohead! The albums are each intense and individual in their perfection and individuality. Go buy the albums, avoid this sell out rubbish at all costs.

- Pop, pop, pop music
It's a travesty that this collection doesn't have a straight 5 star rating. Every single track has something going for it, and as a compilation it is simply mesmerising. Perhaps it's easy for me to say that; I'm not a big fan of Radiohead so I have no axes to grind.

Most of the grumbling in other reviews here is not new. Diehard Bob Dylan fans, for instance, will still tell you that His Royal Bobness CANNOT be collected in a 'Best of ...' Each album is different, unique, indivisible and so on. And, of course, if you are going to listen to Like A Rolling Stone, there is a lot to be said for hearing it in the context of the album it comes from (the blistering High 61 Revisited). Nevertheless it's a great piece of music and stands ... Read More:

- Dont buy this !!!!!
Having read previous reviews of this album, i was aware that the band did not want it released, i eventualy decided to buy The Bends, OK Computer and In Rainbows instead of the Best Of Collection, and i completely understand now why this band cannot be summarised in a "best of" collection. The albums are BRILLIANT. One of the best bands of modern times. PLEASE DONT BUY A BEST OF. IT NEGATES THE GREAT MUSIC OF ALL OF THEIR PREVIOUS ALBUMS, WHICH DESERVES LISTENING. DONT BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- A better bet than the single disc version, but still far from perfect
Enough has been said about this compilation not being representative of what the band are about, but for an objective test I compared the track listing with what they performed live when I saw them at Victoria Park earlier this week. They played just five songs from the first disc and another four from the second out of a total of twenty five performed. Were it not for the second disc that would be a terrible hit rate for a supposed "Best Of" album; even with it that's barely over a third of their live set covered. There are no two ways about it; this is a fundamentally backward-looking compilation.

That said, the songs are still great and stand on their own merits even outside their original album contexts. If you want a Radiohead ... Read More:

- We are taking Advantage of people all over the world, LIVE WITH IT, and the band DOES get money from this, so wat's ur problem?
I can highly recommend this album to anyone slightly interested in Radiohead. IT is AMASING! I am obviously new to Radiohead, but you cannot condem an Album just because it is taking advantage of a band. We are taking advantage of people all over the world right now, so if you care so much go protest about that then rather than writing a terrible review of this cd. These low scores could put people off, who don't want to hav to buy all the albums, but wants a collection of essential tracks to listern to, but I have to say that buying the 2 disc edition, because it gives you some of their later songs, which are very good. One point about the other reviews, if the over songs on the other Cd's are so good and they are so cheap, surly after buying this ... Read More:
