5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant - No filler, November 10, 2003

This review is from: Radiohead - 7 Television Commercials (DVD)

The cheeky title of this DVD says it all. If you are a fan of Radiohead, you already have some idea of what to expect. This no-frills DVD will not disappoint.

I already had all of these "commercials" on my computer; however, the picture and sound quality on this DVD is so vastly superior to the compressed video format that there really is no comparison and is well worth every penny.

There are no special features, no booklet, no additional artwork, no commentary--just these seven beautiful videos. I suppose there could possibly be an "Easter egg" hidden on the disc, but I didn't find any. The box that it comes in is itself is quite nice--collector-worthy--not your typical cheap plastic or cardboard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flawed, but still a nice collection, November 15, 2003

This review is from: Radiohead - 7 Television Commercials (DVD)

A nice collection of Radiohead's music videos from their two best albums: "The Bends" and "OK Computer". The songs easily get 5 stars from me, but the videos themselves range from brilliant to just average. Also, the DVD only contains about 35 minutes of material and zero extra features.

- Paranoid Android: My favorite song off of "OK Computer" is also one of my all time favorite Radiohead videos. Glad to see the uncensored version made the cut.

- Street Spirit (Fade Out): Pretty boring, actually, despite Jonathan Glazer's various speed tricks.

- No Surprises: Such a simple premise; such a brilliant result. Thom Yorke's lazy eye makes this video even more effective and creepy.

- Just: The video that had everyone talking back in 1995 (well, in Canada, anyways). If you're still trying to figure out what that guy is saying at the end, you're missing the point.

- High and Dry: Some cool ideas, but sloppily put together. I actually prefer the UK version (just a black and white video of the band playing in the rain).

- Karma Police: Another video with cool ideas, but it just doesn't work all that well.

- Fake Plastic Trees: I remember back when people accused Radiohead of copying Pulp's "Common People" video (and vise versa). Good art direction, but otherwise pretty average.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for any Radiohead fan, August 5, 2003

This review is from: Radiohead - 7 Television Commercials (DVD)

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.
