The hits are covered nicely in the form of songs like "Creep," "Paranoid Android," "The Bends," "Karma Police," and "No Surprises." Meanwhile, the deeper and rarer cuts are also represented well by "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" and its rarer B-side "Talk Show Host."
You'll also find the best tracks from Radiohead's final EMI album Hail To The Thief like the magnificently textured and guitar driven "There, There" and the frenetic "2+2=5."

The DVD compiles 21 of Radiohead's promo videos together on one disc for the first time, ranging from the still getting their feet wet at the time "Creep" all the way through to their final videos with EMI in the form of Hail's "There, There," "Go To Sleep," and "Sit Down, Stand Up." There is also a great live clip of the band performing "2+2=5" from the Belfort Festival. All told, nine of the videos here are seen on an official DVD release for the first time.

Always considered as much of an innovator in their videos as in their music, this set also features Radiohead's groundbreaking work with such directors as Jonathan Glazer ("Street Spirit," "Karma Police"), Shynola ("Pyramid Song"), Jamie Thraves ("Just"), and Jake Scott ("Fake Plastic Trees").

As much as both of these sets might look like (and probably are) a blow off designed to satisfy a former label obligation, The Best Of Radiohead does a great job of summing up their association with Capitol/EMI. Both the double CD and the DVD appear to have been compiled with both a sense of Radiohead's history thus far, and it would appear the sort of loving care that any fan would hope for and expect.

Together, they not only accomplish the mission at hand, but do so with results that are as satisfying as they are surprising. Both make worthy additions to any Radiohead fans collection.
