Radiohead: Hysterical and Useless chronicles the band's origins in Oxford where the members were childhood friends, leading up to the release of the slacker-friendly single Creep , which launched their first album Pablo Honey . It also covers the second, multi-platinum, album, The Bends , and Radiohead's pivotal release OK Computer , which established the band as alternative rock's new superstars. In this revised and updated edition of Radiohead: Hysterical and Useless , author Martin Clarke provides an account of all Radiohead's recent activities. He looks at how the band escaped the rock straightjacket with their subsequent albums Kid A and Amnesiac , both of which further established Radiohead as a highly innovative force. Clarke then traces the band's development up to the present day, including their latest album release, Hail To The Thief , and a new world tour. Throughout, Clarke also examines the psyche and personal demons behind the enigma that is Thom Yorke, producing an incisive vision of one of the most charismatic musical forces in the world.
