...They might have included “The Caterpillar” or “Hot Hot Hot,” for instance, and “Killing An Arab” was probably pulled for obvious reasons. Yet there is hardly a low moment on the 18-song disc, which includes the obligatory two “previously unreleased” songs: “Cut Here,” which sounds slightly tossed-off, coming across as an amalgam of “Let’s Go To Bed” and “Why Can?...
...inside Baz Lurhman’s head. His dizzying post-modern pastiche presents so many cultural allusions and pop-culture homages, that to comprehend them all requires multiple sittings. Now, Lurhman offers two audio commentaries to encompass the full scope of his sumptuous vision, and the second disc allows the viewer to manipulate multiple-camera angle views of the dance sequences...
Listening to the first of the double-disc album Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble: Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 is a singularly surreal experience.

Wrong is clearly not intended to be the definitive live Radiohead recording; the eight songs barely scratching the surface of the monster two-disc concert format so beloved of Dave Mathews and Pearl Jam. Wrong also carefully avoids all the obvious song choices from Radiohead’s drop-dead back catalogue: There are no souped-up takes on “Paranoid Android” or stadium-sized singalongs of “Karma Police.” Instead, the album showcases new songs from the last two albums, and in many cases infuses them with a new vitality...
