Rating: Summary: Just brilliant Review: Undeniably the most important band of the past five years or so, this is a terrific showcase of their clips from "OK Computer" and "The Bends." It's been a long wait for this on DVD, but well worth it. Along with Bjork and the Beasties, they're one of a few bands that have gone in new directions with the video medium.Each of the seven is masterful in its understatement and creativity - suffice it to say that each is undeniably different and that it's folly to try and pick favorites. If you've lost faith in the mainstream "alternative" music scene of the late nineties and early naugts, this disc should make you feel a whole lot better. My only gripe is that with only 7 selections and clocking in at just over a half hour, I wish there was more. Actually, since "music televison" lost the former, I'm not sure what body of work they have created to accompany "Amnesiac" and the sublime "Hail to the Thief." Here's hoping that stuff, if any, makes its way to DVD before too much longer.
Rating: Summary: Perfect for any Radiohead fan Review: This DVD features seven amazing videos from the band. They all come from OK Computer and The Bends, two of my favorite Radiohead albums. The videos are for paranoid android, street spirit, no surprises, just, high and dry (the u.s. version), karma police and fake plastic trees. These videos are just as amazing as the songs themselves. Any Radiohead fan will love this DVD and anyone who's looking for something different, complex, emotional, or just plain good should buy it too.
Rating: Summary: Dreadful. Unwatchable. Review: Radiohead is one of the great musical forces of the past 30 years, but after watching this silly DVD collection, I have to wonder what they could have been thinking. It's one thing to have a strong, personal vision. It's another thing to have a personal vision that's so obtuse and awkward that it literally mindless. What a waste of time and money.
Rating: Summary: Excellent collection of Radiohead videos Review: I have owned the VHS version of this for years and have watched it so many times the quality now is awful! I have been hoping for a DVD release for ages, especially after they released 'Meeting People Is Easy'. Worth the price for any one of the videos contained in this collection, 'Paranoid Android', 'High & Dry' and 'Street Spirit' are all incredible videos, and 'Just' has to be one of the best of all time. Some fans may be bummed out that 'Creep' is not included, nor is anything after OK Computer; but that's fine with me.
Rating: Summary: a rock band Review: For those familiar with radiohead, this is a must have video. I only wish it was on DVD instead so I could give it 5*. Thom, get back to this style. Your band still sounds great, but the whine has turned to vinegar.
Rating: Summary: perfectvisionsforperfectmusic Review: from paranoid android to green plastic trees, the videos on this tape truely capture the feelings and emotions of Radiohead's music. Paraniod Android video: a cartoon man who has to deal with the insanity and oddness of the world around him. Street Spirit: desolate trailor park, thom swinging a stict at himself, Johnny jumping up and down, cool slow motion effects. No Surprises: nothing flashy in this video, which suites the song excellently. JUST! :my favorite, the man lying on the ground, subtitles, apocolyptic endings....well i get carried away, but what is he saying? what is he saying? high and dry: very pulp fictonesque more sad people and their various sad situations, the husband and wife lip sync is awesome. Karma Police; great song, fat man running from KILLER CAR thom mouths five words green plastic trees: i work in a drug store so this is also one of my favorites. Thom's looks at home in the shopping cart. lots of glass and chrome and stuff. VERY AWESOME VIDEO WORTH EVERY PENNY TO THE RADIOHEAD FAN.
Rating: Summary: Seven of Radiohead's greatest tracks Review: This video is well worth the small asking price. Of particular interest are Paranoid Android and Just- which is a truly shocking and surreal experience and something everybody should watch- NOT for the song (which is excellent, too), but because the video really is a great achievement in the art of film making. Paranoid Android is possibly the reason the video is rated 12 over here in England, as it contains animated violence and mild nudity. The entire video is completely watchable and you will have no reason OR need to fast forward to another song, because you won't want to miss what came before it! High and Dry is easily the worst video of the seven, but the actual song is my all-time Radiohead favourite (possibly overtaken by Sulk), and although I had heard all these tracks before and seen all the videos (with the exception of High and Dry [US]), I still thoroughly enjoyed watching this and so will any Radiohead fan. However, if your idea of a good video is psychedelic eye-candy then you will be sorely disappointed: these are intelligent, well thought out videos that have very little special effects. Totally and absolutely recommended. Oh, and in case you haven't already, buy OK Computer!
Rating: Summary: Some Of The Best "Commercials" I've Ever Seen... Review: I rented this recently & was appalled to find that it is out of print. If anyone at Capitol or with Radiohead can hear me, please re-release this immediately & put it out on DVD. It would make a great companion piece to the bands groundbreaking "Meeting People Is Easy." These are some of the most creative, provocative & compelling music videos I've ever seen (and I don't normally like videos); Please make this domestically available again.
Rating: Summary: 7 Television Commercials (literally) Review: This is a great video, including *gasp* 7 music videos. I am a big Radiohead and these were the first times I heard some songs and saw the band members. It was really great for me. Also, I love watching it now. The videos are 1) Paranoid Android - animated, and quite cool - you see animated band members. Hee hee. 2) Street Spirit (Fade Out) - I first heard the song because of this video - I fell in love with it - now SS(FO) is my favorite song in the world and the video is indescribable. 3) High and Dry - Good video - nice scene of Thom - cool ending. 4) Just - Quite controversial, but definately a great video. 5) No Surprises - At first I didn't like the song, but the video is cool - a bit boring, but unusual - Thom said it was the scariest thing he did in his life. 6) Karma Police - Cool video - it suits the song. 7) Fake Plastic Trees - Interesting video - I don't really like the song and therefore the video isn't that great for me, but I hear that other people really like it - Thom in a shopping cart. I don't know if those are in the right order, but I think they are. If you are a RH fan, definately worth getting.
Rating: Summary: Radiohead's videos make the songs even better! Review: The videos add so much more to the songs. They explore the music in very unique and appealing music videos. Street Spirit(Fade out)is unreal. I love it.
