Pros: 12 Tracks of Sheer Brilliance
Cons: Only 12 Tracks
Now that Radiohead is gaining such attention for Kid A, I'm reminded of their excellent sophomore album: The Bends. To be honest, I loved Pablo Honey and The Bends... I'm somewhat less than thrilled with Ok Computer and Kid A, but that's another story...

Pros: Some fantastic tracks
Cons: Annoying, songs sound too similar
-Now, I'm probobly going to lose all my friends because I rated it less than 5 stars, but honestly, I don't understand what's so good about it. Many people consider it Radiohead's best. It even got a perfect rating from AMG! I must be missing ...

Pros: Elegant ballads, "Street Spirit", powerful rock guitar work, almost everything
Cons: "Bullet Proof" could be better, but that's the only problem
If you listen to Radiohead's previous release, Pablo Honey, you wouldn't think an album of such magnitude was possible from Radiohead. Not only does this album destroy the one hit wonder status bestowed upon the band by the hit single "Creep", but it...

Pros: 12 Amazing songs which lead you through A plethora of emotions
Cons: The 'loop' button on the CD player leads to spiralling Depression
I have been a fan of Radiohead since 1995, around about when 'the Bends' was released. Since then, i have seen them three times in concert: Glastonbury 97, Aberdeen 97, and Glasgow 00.(or was that 99?).
Radiohead's second album, 'The...

Pros: Amazing vocals and haunting lyrical quality
Cons: Instrumentals a bit formulaic?
Radiohead's The Bends spells out quality like a neon light. It doesn't reflect the social awkwardness of the "late teens" Pablo Honey, nor is it a fitting precursor to the polished eclecticism of the "late twenties"...

Pros: Startlingly beautiful tracks
Cons: not much
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...

Pros: Fantastic songs with layers upon layers of sounds, a complete album with no holes or weaknesses
Cons: Nothing worth mentioning
I don't know if a band has ever taken such great leaps from one album to the next as Radiohead did with their 1995 release, The Bends. It is easily 1,000 percent more mature, as well as being deeper and much better written than the...

Pros: epic, driving rock music
Cons: whiny lyrics
On "The Bends" Radiohead seems like an odd combination of the classic-rock bombast of Boston, the distorted rage of Nirvana, and the Britpop gloom of The Smiths. This is Radiohead at its most accessible, before the concept album "OK Computer" and the...

Pros: Ten times better than anything on Kid A. Radiohead at their best.
Cons: It took me a couple listens to get used to the vocals.
When I first downloaded songs off of Kid A I was very disappointed by what I heard, inaudible vocals, lame lyrics, and music that put me to sleep. From that point on I pretty much gave up on Radiohead. Until on the way to a concert, a Coldplay concert...

by glaciated , May 19 '01
Pros: Original lyrics, melodies, and ideas that stick around long after listened to.
Cons: This album could not receive proper praise or recognition under any realistic circumstance.
The demanding force that is society is often portrayed as a cruel and lifeless figure lacking any true depth, feeling, or meaning. If "The Bends" was a living, breathing life form, it is logical to believe it would make quite a spectacle, and perhaps...

Pros: everything
Cons: none.
Driven by Thom Yorke's insistent vocals and the powerful guitar whinings, this CD returns to my CD player on a regular basis. The Bends is an excellent album with a style that is certainly it's own. Compared to Radiohead's earlier and later albums, The...

Pros: Innovative
Cons: Some of the songs seem to be rather superficial and pointless...
While the early 90's saw a wave of grunge music coming from Seattle such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, other aspects of the music industry was squeezed in corners such as those who produced "grandiose arena-rock." Radiohead was one of...

Pros: Essential album akin to the Beatle's White album for fans of Radiohead.
Cons: Will not make you happy go lucky.
Like the Beatles had, Radiohead invaded the U.S. but this time in a more subtle way. They came on the crest of the Seattle Grunge movement with their own anthem to light the way. That song was entitled, "Creep" and, although it got massive radio...

by Ender_53 , Oct 20 '99
Pros: Beautiful album, Fake Plastic Trees
Cons: too short of an album, under 50 minutes
This second album is more like the debut of Radiohead. This is the very start of the band that would make the best album of the decade, OK Computer. The bands first album was Pablo Honey, which is somewhat good, an album that was heavy on guitar solos,...

Pros: Took Everyone By Surprise
Cons: Took Everyone By Surprise
Radiohead came and went in the early nineties with little more than a whimper. "Creep", the only single off of their first album, Pablo Honey, to reach MTV airwaves, was a minor hit and gained them some recognition as being little more...
