Well at no point did I say it was overrated, but it was nice of you to put words in my mouth. Next time I'm interested in giving an opinon, I think I might just do it myself. No hard feelings or anything, just good buisness.

Ethan, With regard to "huh", I might ask you the same question in regard to your first sentence. I left a letter out, lets take it down a notch.

The reason I asked about cohesion is because I'm wondering what it offers to you. I realize its a subjective thing, but does it make individual songs better for you?

I ask becuase I thought, even a grouping of disjointed Radiohead tracks would have more similarities than a mixed CD, or a Rhino release from a particualr decade. So theres a level of cohesion that exists, if but in much less capacity than you'd see from say, In Rainbows.

So if I'm going to go ahead and make the assertion that cohesion exists on the album, what we're really talking about now is a level of cohesion...thats where my question comes in.

How much do you need, and what does that much do for you, as an artist listening to art?

I wasn't using overrated in a literal sense.

I was a little let down that Let Down wasn't on there; and Black Star......
a couple of my favorite songs by them, and apparently they didn't like In Rainbows too much, since a total of none of those songs made it on there.

EMI don't have the rights to use stuff from In Rainbows

Any compilation for a band that is primarily an albums band winds up pointless. It does contain the bare essentials, however, for a passing fan.

I love Radiohead, but I agree with Thom Yorke.
This album was not made by Radiohead, it was made by EMI for a quick buck.

For the most part every song I expected to see is on here.
..and no surprises here that their 2 biggest hits are together.

I think Radiohead fans deserve a B-sides album rather than some stupid ****ing compilation. Isn't True Love Waits a non-album single?
