Free Music Notes for The Best of (Special Edition 2CD)
Free Music Review: Radio head of a bridge?
Hit: 3 Stars
It's hard to tell... Is it a living music or a music for a living. It's a cold cold rock and there's no humanity in it. I was concerned by the title "Creep" but never though it could be so crap in the end. I can't figure out why so many people tells they're great. Yes, this is well produced, well played and recorded, but images that comes along are cold steel, dark cities and strong disturbance. Perfectly tight to this dying society.
Not my music at all.
Free Music Review: Not as good as it could be
Hit: 3 Stars
Music's fine - can't really quibble with the song selection. But where's the deluxe packaging promised in the advertising blurb? And the "essay/liner notes" are a load of pompous, posturing drivel that provide minimal insight on the band or its music - an opportunity wasted.Free Music Review: ...am I the only one that's concerned with this money grabbing scheme?
Hit: 2 Stars
...I've been a large fan of radiohead for a long time...my Dad would play Ok Computer throughout my youth (well...ages 7-9) and sooner or later I had become addicted to the sound...nothing could compare to what Radiohead had done and even if a band had claimed to be better I was loyal to the sound that I heard (minus pablo honey which to be honest...I disliked alot...especially Creep)...
...then Radiohead left EMI records and sold In Rainbows regardless of how much money that they would make out of it (they're all rich now anyway in case you weren't aware...sorry for pointing out the obvious) and although it wasn't the best it was still to Radiohead's standards and grew into a pleasant position in my collection...I have all the Radiohead albums...so why buy this? Why even make this?
...EMI wanted money...they wanted to scrape the barrel of Radiohead as much as they could...one of their biggest bands had left them and they had to re-sell the remenants to the public so that they could create more artificial economic growth even though they didn't need it...I'm disappointed with EMI for being such scroungers...it's just selfish and unreasonable of them...
...the tracks that were picked for the double album (if you haven't checked the listing yet) are all the obvious singles + random tracks...I don't see them picking many of the more abstract tracks off Kid A or Amnesiac (there was a rumour that after the head of EMI heard Kid A the whole company had lost their Christmas bonus...such a nice fellow) and is just an unexciting mix of songs...the reason the songs were in their well placed albums was because the songs flowed together...in this broken up structure everything just feels incorrect and jumpy...I could make this if I made a mix tape of all the radiohead songs I had...and it would cost much less...
...I'd advise you not to buy it and buy these songs in the albums that they rightfully belong...as for Radiohead fanatics (the real true fans) who wish to look for another piece of Radiohead to buy for their collection...feel free...and watch EMI's money pile grow...
P.S: I know that EMI's money scheme has nothing to do with the content of the CD compilation but when such morality issues arise I am likely to point them out and rant about them and for that, I'm sorry but they have really exploited Radiohead way too much...
Free Music Review: Excellent music, horrible compilation.
Hit: 1 Stars
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!
