- One for the serious fans.
Radiohead are a great band, and I don't think this compilation of their videos could be classed as a cash in. If you are a big fan of Radiohead, rather than someone who mainly likes their better known work, it is a good thing to have for your collection.
Their videos are some of the most creative, experimental, original and beautiful ever made. However I found myself a little disappointed with the overall standard and didn't enjoy all of the videos as much as I thought I would. Whilst the band have this reputation for very complex, arty videos - be aware that a few of the videos are basically just recorded live gigs or performance videos.
The middle of the DVD has, in my opinion, the strongest videos and songs - from the bands strongest ... Read More:

- A Quick Cash In
I don't consider myself a cynical guy, but had to say a few words about this. Fans of Radiohead will no doubt agree that they have always put a high priority on the quality of their recordings - from recording to mixing to mastering. Why then would this collection be released in inferior sounding 'Dolby Digital' and be falsely advertised as '5.1' when it's really 'fake surround' (there's nothing but echo and ambience in the rears - a trick used to make stereo mixes sound like surround).

Other artists have released these types of video collections and have gone back to the original master tapes to create true DTS 5.1 mixes in superior sounding 96kHz. Why wouldn't Radiohead have done the same? It seems pretty obvious that this collection ... Read More:

- Stunning.
I'm sure you'll have read the irate rants from pseudo-politician fans about how their dear Radiohead have been "exploited" with the upcoming "Best of" compilations. Forget the motives behind the release - this DVD is stunning. A phenomenal compilation of Radiohead's videos, many of which were never before available on DVD. Maybe EMI being left to their own devices isn't such a bad thing - they give us this stellar collection, while Radiohead give us only a dire collection of SEVEN videos for the same price. In a nutshell, grab this DVD, it's phenomenal.

- The CD's a cash grab, this is brilliance
EMI have, rather cynically, decided that now Radiohead have left them, they're going to release a Greatest Hits CD made up of some of the material from the 6 albums they recorded for them. Radiohead had no involvement whatsoever in the selection of the songs, the composition of the packaging, anything, and at any rate I would urge anyone interested to just buy the 6 albums for themselves - each (OK, maybe not Pablo Honey) a work of brilliance.

However, the Best of DVD is worth the money, purely because it is the first proper collection of Radiohead's music videos since "7 Television Commercials" back in the mid 1990s. Everything is in here, bar the Kid A "blips" (which wouldn't fit into a DVD format very well anyway). As well as the (typically ... Read More:
