While Radiohead saw its stock rising in 1994, it wasn't until 1995's The Bends that it really became a blue chip band. And for good reason. The quintet honed its talent for bombastic Brit Rock, yet still preserved an edge of unpredictability. Even singles like the title track didn't give in to the kind of swooning guitar clichés usually embraced by commercial radio. If the CD proved anything, it was that Radiohead could find solid ground between pop experimentation and the tradition of born-in-the-bone, balls-out rock. --Nick Heil

I bought this album when it first came out when I was about 16 and I still listen to it and love. It's rare when an album can be a part of your life for so long.

I bought this item because my old one is scratched and worn out. The delivery was quick and the item was in perfect condition!

Just glancing on a rating website and seeing an average of 4.11 made me think about "The Bends". I like it yes, but I have never loved it. And I don't feel the need to love it.
Maybe here's why - I was never one to get into this album when it first arrived, and that seems criminal. Friends who are fans of this always talk of the nostalgia it creates, how they reminisce about their great discovery of Radiohead. They talk about how this album changed and shaped their understanding of music. It was their first maturing turning point in musical appreciation. Well, excellent. But I wasn't there, and didn't care for Radiohead as a youth. Yes, there are some standout memorable tracks here, but too much of it strikes me as standard and predictable. Ultimately it's guitar rock that sometimes hits the spot, but just as often drifts by.

I like experimental, but this is just a classic, easy-access album that truly has endeared.

One great song after another. This was the first album I heard for radiohead, so I went and bought all the other albums expecting them to be the same style as this one, I was disappointed.
All the other albums were a bit weird and no where near this one.
So I advise you if your new to this band make this album be the first.
