GREATEST HITS brings together their finest moments, and reveals just how seamless the group's mix of cotton-candy pop hooks, R\u0026amp;B-influenced vocal delivery, hip-hop-inflected grooves, and bad-boy rock-star attitude really was, from the forceful rap-meets-rock \"Hangin' Tough\" to the pleading, romantic balladry of \"Please Don't Go Girl.\"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/02\/2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"New Kids On The Block","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44586577789161,"sku":"N3O0LJ-6ZK6-00","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/new-kids-on-the-block-greatest-hits_XCLAE.jpg?v=1758849972"},{"product_id":"radiohead-amnesiac-ltd-ogv","title":"Amnesiac (Ltd) (Ogv)","description":"This Limited Edition of AMNESIAC includes a clothbound book with embossed logo and a 32-page full color booklet.\nRadiohead: Thom Yorke, Ed O'Brien, Jon Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Phil Selway.\nAdditional personnel: Jimmy Hastings (clarinet); Humphrey Lyttelton (trumpet); Pete Strange (trombone); Paul Bridge (double bass); Adrian MacIntosh (drums); St. John's Orchestra.\nEngineers: Nigel Godrich, Dan Grech-Marguerat.\nThe Limited version of AMNESIAC won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.\nThis second helping from the sessions that produced the preceding KID A will probably strike close listeners as a bit more structured, though it'll be difficult to determine whether that's simply because the peregrinations of the last album have prepared them for the trips to the outer limits taken here. Those expecting a U2-like return to tuneful, anthemic guitar-rock will have their hopes dashed upon a rock of colorful electronic experimentation and moody, studio-enhanced madness.\nThe piano-based \"Pyramid Song\" and the Martian-gospel-choir ballad \"You and Whose Army?\" might placate verse-chorus-verse traditionalists slightly, but the sampler-in-a-trash-compactor \"Pulk\/Pull Revolving Doors\" and the pointillistic ambience of \"Hunting Bears\" attest to Radiohead's continued nonconformist tendencies. AMNESIAC opens with the claustrophobic, synth-bedecked \"Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box\" and closes with the Dixieland funeral march \"Life in a Glass House.\" Along the way, the band engages in the kind of fearless, pretension-risking (but highly successful) sonic experimentation that made a cultural artifact out of SGT.

It was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award in the categories of Album Of The Year and Best Engineered Album.\nIn the wake of OK Computer, it became taken for granted among serious rock fans of all ages that Radiohead not only saved rock from itself, but paved the way toward the future. High praise, but given the static nature of rock in the last half of the '90s, it was easy to see why fans and critics eagerly harnessed their hopes to the one great rock band that wanted to push the limits of its creativity, without grandstanding or pandering. Daunting expectations for anyone, even for a band eager to meet them, so it's little wonder that Kid A was so difficult to complete. Radiohead's creative breakthrough arrived when the band embraced electronica -- which was nearly a clich? by the end of the '90s, when everyone from U2 to Rickie Lee Jones dabbled in trip-hop or techno. The difference is that the wholehearted conversion on Kid A fits, since OK Computer had already flirted with electronica and its chilly feel. Plus, instead of simply adding club beats or sonic collage techniques, Radiohead strove for the unsettling \"intelligent techno\" sound of Autechre and Aphex Twin, with skittering beats and stylishly dark sonic surfaces. To their immense credit, Radiohead don't sound like carpetbaggers, because they share the same post-post-modern vantage point as their inspirations. As perhaps befitting an album that's coolly, self-consciously alienating, Kid A takes time to unfold; multiple plays are necessary just to discern the music's form, to get a handle on quiet, drifting, minimally arranged songs with no hooks. This emphasis on texture, this reliance on elliptical songs, means that Kid A is easily the most successful electronica album from a rock band: it doesn't even sound like the work of a rock band, even if it does sound like Radiohead. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/02\/2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Radiohead","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44598984114409,"sku":"145JJ7-NZZP-00","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/radiohead-kid-a-ltd-ogv_X85rZ.jpg?v=1759225472"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/collections\/music-releases-09-02-2008.oembed","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
