Search - Radiohead :: Creep

The most essential Pablo Honey-era single.

"This Creep CD single is essential for two reasons: the Blow Out remix, which is a great alternate take of the album version, and Yes I Am, which is probably the best of the PH b-sides. Blow Out, on album, is a very good mix, but there's not the sense of buildup that's highlighted in this version. Note that it's not a remix as the term is used now; it's an honest-to-goodness different version, remixed from the original recording tapes.Yes I Am isn't mindblowing, as some of the Bends-era b-sides were. It's a competent song, with decent development, and some interesting lyrics, but it's about as good as they left off the album. I prefer Million $ Question, but Yes I Am is good.The live version of Inside My Head improves on the original, with the vocals delivered far more passionately. It's a catchy little song, and fun to sing along with, but it just feels lacking in some way.The ostensible lead track of the single can be safely disregarded. It's not a radio edit, for what it's worth, but I hope nobody would buy this single for Creep."

Wow...

"trulu if your buying this one your probably collecting...well its vital--even the live inside my head is nice and the blow otu remix makes it nice to know--"thank goodness they didn't put that mix on the cd!!" but its worth the repeat spin then and again...and finally the art--pre s. donwood and almost as good--the relationship shows just how close the visual obscurity to the aural...enjoy!"
