At Kolderie's suggestion, they recorded a take, after which everyone in the studio burst into applause. ĭuring rehearsals, Radiohead played another song, " Creep", which impressed the producers. Kolderie said: "'Inside My Head' was not very melodic, didn't have any of the stuff we thought the others had, so we were rather disappointed." Hufford described the results as "overblown bombastic rock". The sessions did not proceed well Kolderie described Radiohead as "desperately inexperienced", and neither they nor the producers liked the choice of songs for the single.
