Reception


Popular Music reviewed the work, commenting that although the book had weak notes it was still a "worthwhile venture". The ARSC Journal also wrote a review, noting that Radiohead's members "are averse to any sort of intellectualizing of their music" and that "If, in the end, what Radiohead does is "pure escapism," as drummer Phil Selway deems, then this book deconstructs not only that aesthetic space he claims they create, but also the very means by which the fans who wish to escape are drawn in."
