How To Disappear Completely
True Love Waits [recorded live in Oslo, 2001; previously released on I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings]
The Sons of Pink Floyd Excuse me my hereticism of view , but after listening to this 2 cds back to back for 2 days on good cosmic mind organic self i could be convince that this is the reencarnation of Pink Floyd . The overall music mind set is just that , incredible music for our times , from early Chicago , to King Crimson ( horns and all ) , with some Young Marble Giants in the way , the Smiths and the Buzzcocks ... Anyway , buy it , steal it , borrow it , estimulate yourself with good soul cosmic music ... Inmerse in the times we live , insane and tragic and lovely fearful and who could really care for me if not myself ...
Excellent music, horrible compilation. Don't buy this, buy the individual albums instead, or better yet, actually support the band by going and seeing them in concert. They didn't put this together and it doesn't sound like anyone with even the slightest bit of an ear for flow did either as it sounds choppy to listen to the songs in this order. No money from this compilation goes to the band, it just goes into the wallets of EMI executives. Support the band, f*ck EMI!
THE BEST OF GREAT CD! EXCELLENT COMPILATION OF HITS YOU CAN JUST POP IN THE CD AND LET IT PLAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH!
More Rare Tracks Should Have Been Included Radiohead's album "The Bends" and "OK Computer" are among my all-time favourite albums, and as I have never actually owned any of the albums personally, I thought this two CDs compilation could be a good way to get to appreciate some of the later tracks more. When "Kid A" was released in 2000 was very disappointed, and more or less lost interest in the band. I still don't understand how both "Kid A" and "Amnesiac" can be assessed in line with "The Bends" and "OK Computer".
CD one is really sheer pleasure; very nice to hear the songs in a different running order. "Creep" and "There There" blend nicely with the great songs from my two favourite albums.
CD two is a different story with more focus on the later albums, and at the end of the day I realise that I probably should have bought the original albums instead, after all.
Another disappointment was that my favourite non-album track "How Can You Be Sure" was not included on the the compilation - in fact CD 2 would have been a real treat if more of the finest B-sides were included
For casual fans of the melodic side of Radiohead, the single-CD version of the compilation is still very recommendable.
Bringing the best on 2 cds. great buy!! Any Radiohead fan would love this compelation. Although is lacks a few of the "true" Radiohead songs (songs like Bishop's Robe, which I cannot find anywhere!!), it's nice to have all of the songs that the arists seem to like on one album (2) A must for any Radiohead fan!!
