The Bends - Radiohead Reviews

Dont know where to start with this album. When i first listened to radiohead. . my first impressions where 'another 90's one hit wonders'..then when i listened to this album, i relized how wrong i way. The beauty of the guitar riffs and the pure pure energy and power of the vocals make this album what it is. This was the first album which blew me ...

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 ...

Full review How do you start to review an album by such a band? How do you try and adequately convey how much you would urge everyone to get a hold of a copy of this CD or their collection is simply not complete? I actually do not know, but I will try my best here to let you know how and why. Radiohead started its life in the ...

It's about 10 years now since Radiohead produced their seminal album The Bends. At different periods in my life, The Bends has being there for me. A very personal journey in music, the songs both lift me up and make me think deeply about life. When in on my own, The Bends is what will come out first. On it goes from beginning to end (as evey song ...

Ahh another old favorite ...Radiohead 'The Bends' I been digging through my music lately, giving some old faves some play-time on my music machine. 'The Bends' is in my opinion the best of Radioheads efforts for the simple reason ALL the songs are good, it's the kind of album I'll put on and listen to it all without ...

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 ...

The Bends is a beautiful album. Forget Ok Computer, forget Hail To The Thief. In my opinion The Bends is the defining album for Radiohead. I understand why Ok Computer is regarded as their finest work but there is a certain level of experimenting and emotional distance going on in that album that, for me at least, makes it not as accessible ...

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 ...

"Jill Murphy asked me to write about one of my favourite things to help her celebrate her fourth anniversary of cancer-free living and to remind ourselves of all the nice things in the world. It takes more muscles to make a frown than a smile you know. If you'd like to join in, whether you've only just joined dooyoo, or you've ...

Following the massive critical acclaim Radiohead received for their third album, OK Computer, and the subsequent experimental nature of their next two releases, it might be easy to forget their earlier effort, The Bends. That, though, would surely be a mistake, as it's arguably their greatest work. Admittedly, it is more mainstream than OK ...

4th of April 1995 brought something really special into the world of music. The second album release from the Oxford boys, Radiohead, blew the music scene away and paved the way for their phenominal success that followed. The Bends offers the guitar lover a field day of excitement that goes from devestating riffs in "planet ...

"The Bends" marked a giant leap in the career of Radiohead. From a one hit wonder band known for "Creep" to a band who could make songs worthy of a stadium show, Radiohead absolutely proved themselves on "The Bends." The album opens strong with the strange "Planet Telex" where Jonny uses his ...

The Bends is probably the best Radiohead album which you can get. If you like alternatiuve rock then you must own this album. Its a great mix of mellow tunes and good old rock. Tracks like 'High and Dry', 'Street Spirit' and 'Fake Plastic Tree's' are probably my fave tracks. I first really got into Radiohead ...

Radiohead is a rare band in music these days. They push the boundaries of pop music in ways that only groups like Led Zeppelin and the Beatles had done before. I have to admit I've always respected this band. But I also have to admit I never was really into them. Yes, I thought Creep was kind of cool, but I also knew that wasn't at all the ...

Quite simply the one of the best albums in the world…ever. There you go, you can avoid reading the rest of this op if you want because that’s all you need to know. The album opens with ‘Planet Telex’, a brooding, dark tension builder framed within a void of featureless distortion and noise. ‘The Bends’ ...

Baby's got the Bends.......Oh no. This is a really great album, prized above all others in my CD collection. The songs are deep and meaningful and really catchy. The band themselves are a bit on the depressing side, all seem to point at inner despair of the songwriting team. The tracks vary from the jumpy to the heavily ...

The Bends. As well as being a bloody awful thing that happens if you come up too fast from a dive, it is also one of the most genre-creating, important albums of the 90s. Along with Oasis' (Whats the Story?) album and Nevermind by Nirvana, this is going to be on the 90's most important albums lists, not Robbie Williams and Destiny's ...

I have become intrested in Radiohead when I first just I loved it then I settled down and heard street spirit and no suprises which I saw the videos to I then heard Ok computer which was lent to me by a friend, I then borrowed the bends and then pablo honey all in a month actually. I am going to see radiohead live soon, I have just recently ...

Disproving all the critics and doubters who proclaimed that 'Creep' was their only decent song, Radiohead returned in 1995 with an absolute belter. The Bends is a monumental album, significant in both its stirring rock sound and the scope of Thom Yorke's lyrics. Radiohead have always had a melancholic, contemplative side to ...

The thing I liked most about The Bends was that there was not a single bad track on it. Usually this is a good sign. They would have to be THE British Bands of the 90s for me - 5 albums, 2 of which were voted #1 and #2 in a recent 'Best Albums In The World Poll' in America. Those were THe Bends #1 and O.K. Computer #2 if you were ...
