After immersing myself in Kid A and Amnesiac for months I got this out and rediscovered the joys of listening to simpler, more accessible, almost singalong, good old fashioned adult rock. This for me is the best album they have so far produced. Add to the fact that they dedicated it to Bill Hicks just raises them in my eyes by another notch. ...

The Bends, quite a nice experience I've never had. Apart from that though, it's a Radiohead album. A very good one. 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 ...

This was a right kick up the jacksy for the Brittish music business. A well needed one too. In my opinion, Radiohead are the most innovative and original band to come out of England in the 1990s, and with this album, some say they were just getting started. Some say they were at their peak- it depends how you interpret their next album, ...

For many, Radiohead’s finest hour, for others just the start of the Radiohead phenomenon. Either way, most music fans agree that The Bends is one of the finest albums of its kind in the last ten years. Another thing that is certain is that it is music produced during the period where Radiohead could still be deemed to ‘rock’ and ...

One of the best albums ever recorded, especially within my range. I have never heard an album with so many brilliant features all combined before. Thrill and pleasure are the main things that make this album what it is. The opening track 'Planet Telex' is definately a good choice for the first track on the album. It is an ...

it's amazing how quick people are to point out that "ok computer" is the greatest album of the 90s. it's a damn good record, but it isn't even the best radiohead material out there. "the bends" is better. yeah, yeah, crazy experimentation is great, especially when it all works out well, but sometimes it's a ...

I don’t own this album but am currently borrowing it from a friend, and I really need to tell people how damn good it is! But no-doubt if you are anywhere near being sane then you will already know for yourself. The Album has a very mellow theme but with a few faster songs as well. <01>Planet Telex - “You can crush ...

I don't know if I have all the details right when I say this, but some time ago the NME conducted a survey of musicians to discover the most influential groups of all time. Number one was the Beatles. Predictable, but perfectly reasonable too. Number two was David Bowie. Not so predictable, but not so unreasonable either. Number three was... ...

The Bends - Radiohead: Amazing (2056 words)

There's a deep irony here that I don't think anyone else has picked up on. Radiohead's first album, Pablo Honey, had the single Creep on it. This song catapulted the band to unexpected stardom. They rose too fast and it hurt them. The bends is something that effects divers, they rise to the surface to fast and nitrogen bubbles become ...

This is probably, on and off, my favourite CD ever. I can listen to this anytime place or mood I'm in. But it's the same with Radiohead's equally excellent 'OK Computer' CD and I'm always with myself over which i like the best. But then again....who cares?! Credit to Radiohead for producing two top class albums ...

The second Radiohead album marked a massive leap forward from the sub-grunge sound of their debut ‘Pablo Honey’. It arrived in the year of Britpop, 1995, but unlike most albums from that period, it has stood the test of time and is generally regarded as a classic. But what makes ‘The Bends’ so good? Its qualities are in ...

Beautiful. Unhappy. Diverse. There's so many words that can be used to describe this never bettered album. A real modern day legend, this one will be remembered throughout the decades. My favourite album of all time, "The Bends" is one of the the most original, searching, despairing and despondent records I have ever had ...

Following the largely indifferent reaction to 1993’s Pablo Honey, Radiohead’s explosive The Bends (1995) capitalized on the brilliance merely hinted at by their debut and propelled the Oxford five-piece towards the stratospheric heights secured by OK Computer (1997). The pulsating guitars and suffocating paranoia of the ...

The Bends is the best radiohead album ever and may'be the best album ever bar none. It has many great hits including the well known fake plastic trees. The bends is a great song, very good rock and roll. There are also some great songs which may go unnoticed like nice dream and planet telex and just. Then it is capped off brilliantly with ...

In a recent UK poll of the nations favourite albums, usually dominated by the Beatles, a new threat had come to the Fab Four in the form of The Bends, the second album from Oxford band Radiohead. It came number two behind the Beatles Revolver. Now, I own both albums and it has to be said that the Bends is way better. It was the album that shed the ...

Radiohead's second album eliminated the flecks of gauchness that smudged the first. With a remarkable range of guitar noise, its bitter outlook is shaped by their exclusion from the Britpop party while they were 'breaking' the States ('You kill yourself for recognition' grumbles High & Dry), while its spiralling arrangements impart more defiance ...

The Bends Radiohead (Parlophone 1995) Truly unique. A great album that explores many different emotions. The music is so clever that it is difficult to concentrate on anything but the music. Thom Yorke’s lyrics are beautiful astonishing, with very powerful visual images: “Cracked eggs dead birds…I can feel death and ...

Radiohead's second, and best album "The Bends" is filled to brim with classic tunes, such as the superb "Fake Plastic Tree's" and, in my opinion there best track ever, "Street Spirit" a classic anthem with amazing lyrics, and huge "sing along" appeal! This album is class all the way though, and ...

The Bends is an album of consistent quality. I’ve become a big fan of OK Computer since buying it recently, so it was natural for me to try this album. While it’s not quite as good as OK Computer, it’s worth your time, especially if you prefer a faster tempo than displayed in many of OK Computer’s songs. Just ...

Radiohead are an outstanding band with an outstanding few albums. This is without a doubt their best effort. Despite common believe, Radiohead music isn't all depressive, and some of the songs are actually quite uplifting, take High and Dry for example. The most beautiful track on the album is fake plastic trees, which is not only a ...
