When 'Pablo Honey' arrived to the world in 1994, many lesser witted people dubbed Creep a one hit wonder and Radiohead little more than a stop-fill gap between the early nineties Nirvana-led grunge revolution and the mid-nineties Brit-pop era. How wrong they were. Their second album 'The ... Read review

After the massive success of Pablo Honey--or, more specifically, the single "Creep"--had ... more
made them a household name, most had written
Radiohead off as one-hit wonders. That they could
return with an album as awesome and monumental as
The Bends, therefore, must have been particularly
unexpected. Not that Pablo Honey is a bad album,
but rather, when compared to the epic grandeur of
The Bends, it's obvious that the five Oxford-based
boys had matured immensely since the release of
their debut. "High And Dry", "Just", "Street
Spirit", "Fake Plastic Trees": nary a pop song
among them, yet it's testament to their greatness
that they all were hit singles. And really, it's
easy to see why: Thom Yorke's falsetto crying over
a wall of acoustic and electric guitars, as lyrics
and music blend to create a masterpiece of
melancholy beauty. The Bends is one of the most
essential albums of the 1990s, and a spectacular
indicator of further greatness to come. --Robert

Review of Bends, The - Radiohead by carl.mcqueen

Advantages: An all-time great album
Disadvantages: What disadvantages?!

When 'Pablo Honey' arrived to the world in 1994, many lesser witted people dubbed Creep a one hit wonder and Radiohead little more than a stop-fill gap between the early nineties Nirvana-led grunge revolution and the mid-nineties Brit-pop era. How wrong they were. Their second album 'The Bends' designed and moulded the band into a superpower from which they never looked back. And the most serious question asked or topic discussed about this album ...
...or 'radio-friendly' music, but whether 'The Bends' or 'OK Computer' is not only Radiohead's best album, but one of the best albums rock music has ever produced. Opening track 'Planet Telex' helps us on our epic journey, and acts as an excellent compliment to the following three tracks, all of which are huge pieces of music. Title track 'The Bends' is a huge favourite of mine with Thom Yorke's creaking, wandering voice 'I need to wash myself again, ... Read review

And Fade Out Again And Fade Out Again
Review of Bends, The - Radiohead by Andy.mack

Advantages: Some Fantastic Tracks, no weak ones at all. As close to a flawless album I think I have heard
Disadvantages: None, unless you dont like Radiohead

As I mentioned in my op last week there really is only one album by Radiohead that seems to be constantly on my CD player. That album is of course the follow up to the 1994 release Pablo Honey, 1995’s The Bends. Often the subject of much debate between Radiohead fans but personally this is my favourite album to date. The follow up and it’s predecessor both push it close but overall I find The Bends to be the more complete album. The Oxfordshire ...
...world by storm since the mid 90’s. A lot of other bands show heavy influences of Radiohead’s sound but it was this album more than any other that will be found on lists of musical influences. The debate also rages about what exactly Thom Yorke is, a musical Genius or confused and mixed up but making decent music. On that fact I’m with the former, despite a patch where I really wasn’t a Radiohead fan I’ve now really got ... Read review

I'm Such a BENDER
Review of Bends, The - Radiohead by pink

Advantages: Outstanding music, brilliant, read on
Disadvantages: none silly.

The Bends is Radiohead's second album coming after Pablo Honey and before OK Computer. Although it often seems that as far as Radiohead are concerned, and Thom Yorke in particular, this is their first true album. This is where Radiohead truly become Radiohead for the first time, when they find and develop their own unique direction. As albums go, this album goes like thunder-fire. The developing style of the band is captured in pure glory. There ...
...the music to talk. ~~The Music~~ 1- Planet Telex The album begins with a rather electronic sounding wind blowing. There is a heavy drum and keyboard sound achieved and then an exceptionally muddy bass line kicks in and the song is underway. It has a nice juddery and shaky feeling throughout and there is an excellent piece of guitar work in there. Great song, and Thom's vocals are really excellent they have a strained tenderness about them. The ... Read review

Where do we go from here...
Review of Bends, The - Radiohead by bethybaby

Advantages: Sublime Music
Disadvantages: Screams out to be listened to.

The first mega-successful album by Radiohead is the best for me. It will remain one of the best and most influential albums of the Nineties and rightly so. But one warning. You cannot take this album at face value! If you listen to it once and don’t like it, then do not write it off – you’ll miss out! After buying Pablo Honey, and loving it, at first this album didn’t live up to expectations. There were none of the lively ...
...song with a bit of life seemed to be ‘Just’, and that was the only one with understandable lyrics. After listening to the album once, I put it back on the shelf and cursed myself for wasting £13 on such a depressing album. But, about a month later, after persuasion from friends, I put the CD back in my player, and gave it another try! I’m glad I did! I don’t know whether it was the mood I was in, or whether my expectations ... Read review

I Wish it Was the '90s, I Wish We Could Be Happy
Review of Bends, The - Radiohead by OKkaraoke

Advantages: brilliant, varied
Disadvantages: none

[This is part II of my '90s Nostalgia series.] I read somewhere that 'The Bends,' Radiohead's second album, released in 1995, has sold fewer copies than their debut album, 'Pablo Honey.' I find this hard to believe since 'The Bends' is clearly is more innovative and of much higher quality. However, it makes sense from a marketing standpoint. While their first album had the hugely popular single 'Creep,' no songs from 'The Bends' were able to achieve ...
...more sophisticated and varied album than 'Pablo Honey.' I can listen to it over and over again and it gets better every time. This album covers many of the same themes as 'OK Computer' (Radiohead's critically acclaimed 1997 release) such as corporate greed, angst in the modern world, technology, etc, but 'The Bends' is much more pleasant to listen to and less whiny. For the younger rock music fans out there, you may have only heard of Radiohead in ... Read review
