The Bends

[Roadkill]

"OK Computer" would definitely be in my top ten albums of all time. "The Bends" is a transitional album between the fairly ordinary indie of "Pablo Honey" (with the odd flash of genius) and "OK Computer". There are some great songs on "The Bends", particularly "Just" and "Street Spirit", but in terms of sheer inventiveness it's outdone by "OK Computer".

Pretty much this. OK Computer is an absolutely blinding album; The Bends is a good one with a couple of inspired tracks.

I've never really got into anything they've done since OK Computer. I don't dislike any of it, but it's never really grabbed me either.

^^ 2nd one for this

All their other albums are better. Even Pablo Honey. The Bends is a pile of shite imo (apart from Fake Plastic Trees which is the only decent song on it).

Where would you rate it, as in all time top albums of the 90s.

How can it be an all time top album of the 90s?

I love The Bends and like OK Computer. Not really bothered by any of the rest of their stuff.

the bends is proper let down by 5 songs which are distinctly average/bland.

Not least its not even the best radiohead album. I'm in agreement with everyone else ok computer is a much better album.

I'd like to think i could find at least 100 albums i perfer from the 90's.
