The Bends - Radiohead Reviews

Over the past year, I feel like I've come out of a deep sleep and finally have seen the real world. That's in part due to this band. Many, many times the raving people have done about Radiohead has just passed over my head. Then one day, I took notice. After hearing the well known tracks, including the obvious 'Creep' I decided to invest in their ...

Well Radiohead are another band it took me a while to get into. OK Computer was the first album of theirs I bought. I was so impressed with that, a few years later I got my hands on this one. The Bends is brilliant. Some magical songs that really do stand out! So here is what I think of each and every song; 1. Planet Telex - Quite a ...

A classic Cd this really pushed Radiohead forward as a band who stood out from the crowd, with incredibly passionate vocals from Thom Yorke, the band's powerful thrash guitars combined with soaring vocals were a huge winner. This CD really got me into radiohead and every song is brilliant, one of those delightful albums without a duff ...

Radiohead have a bit of a reputation in some circles as producing dull music that drives people to suicide. I personally think this is a ridiculous statement, but one that I hear all too often (maybe my friends are all too old to listen to Radiohead?). Yes, some of their music is slow and Thom Yorke's voice can sound dreary and depressing, but in ...

The Bends is the album that completely blew me away in my teenage years, and it still holds a very special place in my heart. It is probably the best radiohead album to start with if you have been living under a rock or something and have never heard them before From the first track - Planet Telex - Radiohead are pushing the boundaries ...

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 ...
