Not Mandatory to purchase

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2007

Verified Purchase

All of you radiohead fans make it like the band/EMI is making it mandatory to purchase every product released by the band/emi. You as the consumer have the right to purchase or not purchase anything in existence that's for sale...lately it's become obvious what might not be purchased such as unauthorized recordings. True there's nothing different about these releases than it's preceeding releases. True it's probably not remastered and there isn't a single bonus track. Nor is there a lyric booklet or anything to the effect. All you get are 8 digipaks which are alot more attractive looking than the predecessors but not necessarily worth going out to purchase for a second time. However, I never previously purchased a radiohead cd but knew of the band very well for years just never got around to buying any of their cds. I do know they're one of the very few modern day bands who make the best 100 albums list of all time with 2 of their releases which is a pretty good accomplishment considering this is 2007 and all the legends who have come before radiohead which is just a tribute to their importance in a world that's not becoming so band friendly anymore these days. But I see alot of people are giving it 1 star because it's not new material or bonus tracks when there's no claim by the band or EMI that there was, i could see if they said there was bonus tracks and you take it home and there isn't but it was never said to be...and remember you don't have to buy every product, you don't have to buy those singles either with an album track and 3-4 really bad songs either...i give it 5 stars because the music is all 1st rate and the package is incredibly attractive.

Would Recommend!

I was hesitant of purchasing something that was not new but I am more than pleased with the quality of the collection. Sadly the box that holds all the CDs had a dent on the side that may have happened during shipping but I'm not too worried about it. All CD cases and CDs are in great condition just as advertised! I'm one happy customer! :)

It's a Deal

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2008

I'm a big Radiohead fan but not so big that I would blow so much money on them in a week's time. (I also purchased In Rainbows Limited ed./vinyl boxed set)
As I've already owned four albums off the lp boxed collection... well... now I have them ALL. I can do without the 'special' artwork but there's lyrics to boot and well... if you wanna own a tangible copy of pure musical genius... well.. you can't beat the price for the entire body of work.

All the albums in one boxset. Good idea, could have done better.

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2008

Understandably, a lot of radiohead fans would be disappointed with this boxset because it contains all of the EMI albums the band has ever done (except in rainbows, as its their first album that is not on EMI) but to be honest, what did people expect? I personally thought that a radiohead boxset would be worth the deal in the past since there are quite a few albums to buy in one go. Do I believe that EMI have stooped to a new low because they re-released everything in a boxset? I don't think its my place to have an opinon.

This boxset, as I'm sure all the other reviews indicate, is a compilation of all their previous work, which subsequently happens to be off one record label.

These are
1) Pablo Honey
2) The Bends
3) OK Computer
4) Kid A
5) Amnesiac
6) I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings (a live album)
7) Hail To The Thief

Pro's: All of the albums (official studio ones, no EP's or singles with b sides) are now available in one boxset, which is a good price and a perfect gift to someone who (like my brother) is a class act at losing CD's all the time, and a fan of radiohead.

This is also a good present to give someone if they are interested in the Radiohead sound but never got around to getting all their albums as per say. I gave a friend the boxset as a birthday present and he says that he could appreciate the band a lot more seeing it grow from its seemingly innocent roots (trying to break out of the sub genre of grunge with "Pablo Honey" ) to its new sound (in their experimental Amnesiac and Hail to the thief).

Con's: Naturally, I felt as if it was a bit of a rip off since there was no My Iron Lung EP , or any of the b sides that came with the singles. Even if this boxset is a prerequisite to another boxset with just the singles and their b sides, I felt they could have had that in the first place, instead of just the original albums.

In the end: 5 stars for content, 3 stars for the idea and 1 star for EMI not including the b sides and/or singles= 4 stars (dont ask i didnt do an average). However, if you are new to the band, just buy this boxset and you will not be disappointed. Each and every album is a classic.

Awesome little Box Set

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

This box set is great if you're a Radiohead fan and want the majority of their music in physical form. It comes with all the albums up to Hail to the Thief and a Live Album. In Rainbows and The King of Limbs aren't on here because these are all of their albums under the Parlophone record label. I highly reccoemend it if you love Radiohead!

Produto para colecionador!! Não perca a oportunidade de adquiri-lo.

Reviewed in Brazil on July 10, 2020

Embora não seja novo, o produto está em excelente estado; as mídias estão impecáveis, apenas alguns encartes estão pouco amassados (provavelmente por causa da viagem), ou possuem manchas leves o que não diminui a qualidade do box nem tampouco a minha satisfação com a compra e com o vendedor. A entrega aconteceu dentro do prazo. Agradeço ao vendedor, a Amazon e ao serviço de Sedex.

Coffret de 7 albums Radiohead, découvert à la médiathèque. Rachat à un super prix

Reviewed in France on May 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

Super contente d'avoir trouvé ce coffret à un prix très abordable. Génial d'avoir quasi tous les albums de Radiohead, excellent.
Par contre colis arrivé associé à une BD (normal de faire des économies) cependant l'emballage était trop léger et les coins du coffret sont arrivés un peu rabougris, pas grave cependant car les CD n'en sont pas affectés.

Fantastic Radiohead Box Set!

Reviewed in Canada on October 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

This box set is a fantastic deal! The first six Radiohead studio albums, plus the live album, "I Might Be Wrong", are all included here. Each CD is in a top-notch jacket and contain the CD's booklet. This box set is particularly useful for those who might be just discovering Radiohead's music (even though their first CD was released over 20 years ago). But even if you have one or two of Radiohead's earlier CDs (OK Computer, Kid A, and The Bends are standouts) this box set will be a wonderful addition to your music collection. All seven of the CD jackets fit into a classy white box; ideal for display purposes while still protecting your discs. Happy listening!
