DVD Reviews of The Best of Radiohead

DVD Review: Not as "nature" intended-
Summary: 1 Stars

As mentioned previously, Radiohead is not a best-of band. The albums should be heard in their entirety, as even the ones you may not enjoy after the first couple listens will seem to grow on you and maybe even haunt you. This is an unauthorized compilation (well not band approved at least) with $$$ being the only objective by a disgruntled label.

DVD Review: Do Not Buy
Summary: 1 Stars

Radioheads albums were meant to be hear in their entirety. Each album is unique and representative of the progression of a great band. Do not buy and album released by a sour former record label. Their only objective make up for the revenue they lost when radiohead decided to branch off and release In Rainbows on their own without a major record label. Don't fall into the trap of supporting a label who's interest is in money, not music.

DVD Review: You never wash up after yrself
Summary: 3 Stars

Listen, if you're a Radiohead fan who wants the videos listed above, then by all means embrace this DVD and watch the videos to your heart's content.

As the other reviewers have already said, this is a corporate cash-in attempt and frankly, if you can find other means to watch the content, do so.

The reason I write this review is to point out that the missing and never released videos for "Motion Picture Soundtrack" and "Let Down" (Collectively, two of the bands greatest songs, and in the case of MPS, one of the most HAUNTING videos ever made) are NOT on this DVD. Clearly, this is a plain as eggshell paint cash-in with no balls. Dig deep, Radiohead fans, and find the material on your own. Or buy this if the items listed are all you want.

Personally, I think the band deserves better, and by better I mean a complete collection. Unfortunately, a ham-fisted release like this just means that such a compiliation will likely never see the light of day.

DVD Review: Great set
Summary: 4 Stars

As Radiohead fan I am happy with this set, when it comes at HiDef I will get it again...

DVD Review: Yes, but
Summary: 4 Stars

My only hesitation in buying the DVD and "Hits" CD is that they were put out by the old label and the band doesn't approve of supporting them.
So I feel guilty, but I wanted these items for a shared collection with a Radiohead Superfan. She's happy. I'm happy. At least I made up for it by buying the $80 In Rainbows package AND paying for the downloadable CD.
