Well, you know Street Spirit. It's one of the best tracks from The Bends. The two bonus tracks here are also terrific. Bishop's Robes would fit well with the musical theme of Kid A or OK Computer, while Talk Show Host is almost like something on Amnesiac, which I suppose you'll just have to imagine since Amazon has no audio samples.
 Strong single January 7, 2007

Street Spirit is a great song recorded by a then just-blossoming band. The b-sides "Talk Show Host" and "Bishop's Robes" are also catchy. It's interesting to point out that the band's Krautrock influence may not have been only evident on Kid A; halfway through "Talk Show Host" the drum beat suddenly parallels the beat played in Can's Halleluwah.
Radiohead at Their Finest June 6, 2005

I really think singles are overpriced. However, back in my radiohead fanaticism days (i still love them, but have since branched out to other bands as well), i was determined for a while to buy every recorded breath that radiohead had released. I started buying these singles up when they were $30 for three songs, and for the most part, never regretted it. This particular single is not only the finest song collection radiohead has ever released, I believe it's the best music that Radiohead is CAPABLE of releasing. There is magic in this three-song set that is indescribable without listening to it. All three songs are fairly slow-paced, and walk a fine balance between being awestruck by the possibilities of life and being tormented by the thought of one's own demise. While you could probably download these songs in fifteen minutes, however you get them, get them, and listen to them in this order over and over. This is radiohead's finest moment. Better than all six of their studio albums, better than the live album, better than the airbag ep, the itch ep, or the My Iron Lung ep (which takes a distant second), and better than the dozen other singles i own. If you like radiohead, this is the perfect place to start your collection, or, even better, the perfect place to end it.

Street Spirt (Fade Out): A true Radiohead classic. If you haven't heard this song, you're really missing out. Easily one of the ten best songs the band has ever done. I'm don't think it needs to be described; just know that it's amazing. 5/5Talk Show Host: Another classic. Driving repetition of a guitar riff until it climaxes, complimented by eerie vocals and lyrics. This one pops up at live shows more often than Street Spirt does, surprisingly, so there are various live versions floating around on the net that are much better than the recorded one. Was featured in the modern remake of Romeo and Juliet. Bishop's Robes: This would have fit nicely onto OK Computer. A softer song that focuses more on aural landscapes than anything. Very emotional and very good. 5/5 This is easily the best single Radiohead ever released.
I'd give this 6 stars if i could June 2, 2003

its official, this is one the best singles i have ever heard. period. Street Spirit has that really deep sounding acoustic/electric guitar line that gives me chills. It took time to make me fully appreciate it, but when it hit me, BAM! This song is great for when you're feeling depressed.
Talk Show Host has an amazing keyboard line in it. It has this weird, cloudy atmospheric feel to it. It produces emotions in me that i rarely ever feel. There isnt exactly a real chorus to it either. its amazing, just a steady flow of gray heaven.
Bishop's Robes is a very dark song. Its emotional intensity stunned me the first time i heard it, the way Thom delivers the line "I am not going back", its just powerful.
I think this single will effect you just as much as it effected me if you allow it to. Even non-radiohead fans will appreciate it.
