The interesting point about the compilation of band Radiohead is that the album was released without the permission of group members; EMI prepared all the things, selected the works and released the album. For the last album, the group did not work with EMI, but the best of album songs are property of EMI.
The DVD part is not favored by fans as it only consists of video scenes; there is no detail no explanation. It is known that the best of Radiohead was released against the desire of group members, so the work is found not very well by some critics and fans. However it is a good way for fans to have, listen, and watch songs and videos all together and people were waiting a compilation from this band, Radiohead.
