The bends is without a doubt a classic album and will go down in history as one of the best ever made (fact). It is far superior to pablo honey and is a joy to listen to. So many stand out tracks on the album. Thom yorkes voice is fantastic and he is what really makes radiohead,great guitar solos ecspecially in, The bends and Just, my two favourite tracks on the album.

There are melencholy pieces such as fake plastic trees which build up into a crescendo, high and dry is an obvious candidate and had main stream success but in my opinion is one of the weaker tracks on this album. I love bones, a short song great lyrics (used fly like peter pan all the children flew when i touched their hands) is memorable.

My iron lung takes you on a journey and is another great rock tune which is original.
And the there is black star and sulk, 2 more singalong rock tracks with that radiohead feel too them that seperates them from other bands.

Oh I forgot and the last track the most well known track on the album, street spirit, haunting lyrics but in instantly recognised guitar piece.

The bends is a superb album, plain and simple but it isnt as good as radioheads following album which raise the bar for other bands again to try and top Ok computer which takes a different approach and does what many people thought impossible, to be better than this album.

But thats another story read my ok computer review for more details
