Could never get past Yorke's whinge. The kind that can set off the dogs. Does the album come with cheese to go along with the whine? Could never get past Yorke's whinge.

ME! I've recently started buying CDs only, no downloads. Why? Well, Amazon has most CDs priced in the $10 range. This Radiohead comp has 17 songs on it (30 if you get the Special Edition). That's $17 in downloads. <br>If you spend more than $25 you get free shipping, so I just wait until I am looking for 3 new CDs and for about 30 bucks I get far more songs than I would have from itoons. And I get CD quality ('cause I got, you know, the CD). Plus liner notes, artwork, lyrics. <br>All in a nice case that I can put on my shelf and regard as part of a collection. I never looked at my hard drive as a "collection." “[W]ho are “best of” releases really for anymore?” ME! I've recently started buying CDs only, no downloads. Why?

But it's ridiculous to me that they're marketing this as a "career retrospective" when it's clearly not. They didn't even mention the record in the literature that accompanies the release. If they were able to release tracks that were previously unreleased, they might've tried to get their permission to use one from "In Rainbows." It just points out - even more - that this is about the label and not about the band. Oh yes, I know.

How could it mention "In Rainbows"? There is no relationship between the label and post "Hail to the Thief" Radiohead.
