Radiohead: The Complete Guide To Their Music
3 April 2007
Format:Paperback
Among other things, the back of the book claims to feature "An album by album, track by track analysis". I would like to point out that there is a difference between an analysis and a summary.
If you're looking for a musical and technical analysis you'll be painfully disappointed to recieve five or six sentences briefly describing a song you could just listen to. If you're lucky, you'll get an off-topic anecdote or a far-fetched comparison to an old author favorite. Random refrences to old sixties and seventies bands are a plenty, I'm afraid, and none do anything to give the reader a better idea of the song or its roots.
For example, Lucky is claimed to start out like Neil Young's Heart of Gold "before growing into a man-sized epic of early seventies symphonic rock proportions".
Praising the seventies provides no insight on either music, or even Radiohead. Furthermore, the songs compared are rarely anything alike.

Very Well Written!
11 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
The author in this book not only did his research, but the way he describes each song and subject is amazing. The book is very specific and very much to the point. Don't be discouraged with the size of the book. This book has all the information you need. A "must have" for a Radiohead fan!
