sort of, though Pablo Honey has some good shit on there too like You, Anyone Can Play Guitar, and How Do You (I didn't mention creep, that would be sort of cliche wouldn't it?)

much of the record is weak in comparison to the live versions, especially on the tour in 2006/07 before the recording of the album when the material was most experimental and fresh. I also didn't feel House Of Cards until it marinated on me later, its sort of like a flamenco Morning Bell

I am still quite pissed off at the release version of Videotape, they took out all of the best parts, gutted it like a Chopper and almost completely ruined it by slowing it down, losing its teeth, and wrecking that ecstatic bridge that the live versions had.. I adore that song live circa 2006, it resonates strongly in my heart and still gives me chills..
the whole album aside from the first four tracks, was simply badly produced, and it sounded way to DIY, way too watered down compared to what those songs had live...
all in all it is still a good record, and truly radiohead is a live band, but their popularity makes it such a fucking phenomenon to get tickets that we are stuck with records and forget the real genius. That's why I go with bootleg DVDs and recordings to get the real radiohead sound..
what always impresses me is the way they can duplicate some of the more complicated, electronic elements of their production albums flawlessly into their stage shows, and even enhance on it! that is radiohead's genius. they are not the greatest thing to come into music, but there are extremely gifted at what they do. If radiohead hadn't gotten all that record industry and magazine hype over the years and remained a largely unknown, underground band, you SYG hipsters would be in divine love with them, I swear!
