They really captured the essence of Thom Yorke’s haunting melody.

And I know that it's what matters, but jeeze, they need a new guy for album art, or a sticker that says, Album art explicitly taking the mickey!



Blue Steel?
They are truly talented, but that album cover is so cheesy. 
Muzak.

If you want to listen to cello, listen to Bach's Cello Suites.
Nice tune you would never hear on crap commercial radio
Everyone seems up in arms about the awful album cover (and I agree), but to me the more important question is if the artist is "2Cellos" why are there 3 members (Luka, Stjepan, and Dusan)?

That questioned, I do like the tune.

Quite right. I saw them live and they were humble, charismatic, and actually really fun and light-hearted (unexpectedly so). They are the real deal for sure.
That's clearly a cover of System of a Downs "Lost in Hollywood".
Covering Radiohead is still - bleah!! - Radiohead.
Love the music. The album cover not so much. Do people go for the music or just to stare at two hot guys playing the cello ;)

Brilliant!
When Elton John calls your act "Homoerotic" that pretty much says it, doesn't it?

(Love 'em! Would love to hear Thunderstruck or others on RP!)

8-7 due to the cover photo.

Cello abuse.
 

But in a good way 
While they may not be the most humble and down to earth people as much as i had a chance to conclude watching their interviews (they are crotian like me), they make amazing music. Amazing. Nice to hear them here!

Yup. I saw them live in Spokane a few years back and it was a lot of fun. Meeting in the middle between rock and classical....
Cello abuse.

That Album Art {#Dancingbanana_2}

What version is this? What happened to the screeching kazoo solo? 
What were they thinking when they approved that album cover!! Maybe they thought it would be plastered on the side of some building in Las Vegas next to Penn and Teller or something 😂
Stick a tiger between them and you've got Siegfried & Roy


These guys are definitely worth seeing live (whenever that might be again?!) - amazing!

Cello music can be incredibly powerful and sad, peaceful, sublime.

very wise, king

cheap commercial dribble. something you might hear when you are waiting for connection.

1!!!
I'm not Radiohead's greatest fan, like some dislike others, but having this follow SHA is nothing short of genius! LLRP
At first it was captivating. But the longer it plays the less important it becomes - unlike the original which builds slowly to crescendo and then drains away. 
Well played but all I can think of when I see the album cover is "Blue Steel".
Nice touch following Subterranean Homesick Alien with this arrangement
LLRP
It may state below, but any of you wicked smart folk know if this song or artist was featured on Westworld (HBO series)?

I think they actually reflect the amazing complexity of the original artists' music.  If the classically trained musicians make it into a beautiful piece, then I'm convinced the original version is as good as I knew it was!  Radiohead is amazing

Well said. They could easily have been in Zoolander. Blue Steel. Really, really, really good looking. lol
No need to sell this genre as such.
Sorry, but remakes/covers like this do not do it for me.  
I  know, I know.  Cute guys remake.  But shit this is powerful.  Maybe the cello, but somehow I can see this in bright and dark colors (did not drop acid).  And I love the original, but I'd call this better.  I know, I know.

Just what I was thinking.. 
I love this music!!  Cello is so wonderful...!

Didn't these guys do a stage show with a white tiger?
This just went from an 8 to a 9 for me.  It makes my heart go boomshanka.
Heavy
these guys are so amazing and now they're playing RADIOHEAD!!!  you know your favorite band is good when all other artists cover them.  
I absolutely love this song...really, I love most everything I've heard from them...but what's with the cover art?  Guys?  Guys...Glamour Shots went out of business 25 years ago...
Jesus, look at them on that album cover. The Siegfried and Roy of strings.

Well if you're going to get all intellectual and quote Latin, at least get the spelling right. 
I enjoy a beautiful rendition now and then..this is superb talent 
what's all the fuss about these two guys who copycat apocalyptica?
Ad nausium
I have heard it said that the cello is never out of place in any rock piece and I would generally agree.  Except with this one, I feel.  Sorry fans.  PSD>
Recently saw them live - amazing!!! Worth it for sure if you have any interest.  And their personalities made it quite entertaining too.

I think Pretentiousness is a Pretentious word. I would like to suggest ppl start using Pretendry instead
 


Talking cellos sure i heard a few words 
10 just for the album cover.

Too many shade comments. I love cellos and I love Radiohead and I love this rendition.
For a cover song from an artist nobody knows....it's the best comment section ever.  Not just the last few....but all the way down.  Much more entertaining than the music (which I like).

Marginally better than James Last. Instrumental versions of pop/rock songs rarely work.

Pretentious comment.
2Cellos. Come on... It's like a shaved and commercial version of Apocalyptica. Close to the level of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.
2 hansom man doing some music that people like on cellos. Not particularly good. Just well sellable.
In the Ludivico Einaudi vein—which is a good thing.
There is nothing about this that I do not love.
Very Ed Allayne Johnson.   nice but could get boring.
Its a hell of a riff, if played it on the acoustic for many hours.
made me sing out loud the lyrics {#Good-vibes}
