Radiohead has been my favorite band for a long time. I own a popular Twitter account Radiohead lyrics so naturally this book would seem to fit right in. I enjoyed reading any back-stories the author provided about the recording of individual albums, songs, and events during tours.
One criticism I would offer is that the author often goes into almost laborious detail describing specific musical elements and composition used in the songs and relating them to other songs by Radiohead or other bands...more

For those diehard Radiohead fans or anyone into music theory, this is a must read!
I thought this book was pretty awful. I was expecting some insights into the band, interviews with band members on how they wrote the songs etc. Instead it is some fan writing cork-sniffing types of reviews of songs- think 'This bottle opens with a bouquet of subtle raspberries with a hint of oak and a finish that is simply superb.' It's like being forced to read unending Rolling Stone magazine articles. If you like to read hundreds of pages of someone describing records they are listening to wi...more
hate to say it, but this book was pretty bad. it read like a college essay on radiohead music, rather than a book about 'the stories behind every song.' it was very analytical of the music and used terms that only people who play or study music would understand. these sections were so pointless and hard to get through for me. and i think they were completely unnecessary even to a person who could understand more of the musical terminology. a quick examination of the theme or mood of each song wo...more
I really enjoyed this. It contains all the usual hyperbolic, pseudo-literary tropes that one comes to expect from so-called 'rock-criticism.' But underneath are some really interesting analyses of the music, and cross-referencing to other Radiohead music, and to other artists, like the Beatles and Can.
Like any good work of theory, it provides an interesting lens for a re=appreciation of the music. Radiohead is an amazing band that has so often spoken to me on so many levels, but this was a new p...more

Pretty good, but spotty. Some great insight into some of the music, for me, especially around the Bends and OK Computer. Uncovered a lot of connections I was unaware of e.g. to minimalism, early electronic music, etc. Less helpful for other albums musically, such as Hail to the Thief. Also a bit too reverential for my taste.
Offered some nice insight into songs, but did not offer much more. Inconsistent in insight and sometimes contradicting itself, it left an unprofessional feel. I believe it could also be better if Doheny also kept an unbiased out look on each song and album, instead of constantly shifting viewpoints.
