planet telex and high and dry are my favorites off this album. really i think the bends is up to par with ok computer, kid a, hail to the thief, and in rainbows
Because In Rainbows is one of their best albums and it's better to start from the not very bad-not very good things to not have any idealistic expectations of band
Nah I wouldn't say so In Rainbows is a better introduction. Also think the bends is probably the worst out of all albums after Pablo honey. It's not that I don't like it, it is great but it's not as interesting it enjoyable as other albums.
@@syncops834 The Bends is the best of 90s alt rock while still playing by the conventions of the genre at the time. I wouldn't consider Nirvana's music 90s alt rock done right, its a mix of alt rock, grunge, and post hardcore, done their own way. The same thing can be said about OK Computer, which leans heavier on the art rock side as opposed to Pablo Honey and The Bends, and took the genre to an unprecidented level.
@@kapr4s I do not think they suck but they sound like a two-bit punk band too much besides Radiohead I think Smashing Pumpkins and Alice in Chains are better than Nirvana even Soundgarden and Pearl Jam are better.

@@albinochewie543 I know, but he seems to be in a different state now, so idk how he's gonna handle a song like No Surprises, even if he's heard it before. Also, he said that he has also listened to The Bends before
@@syncops834 I remember Thom Yorke said that their music is made from feeling of depression but not depressing, for the most part, it can be confused to be depressive because of the process and I agree with him. The feeling, that describes their music is floating in the space. Sorry, if I described it not very accurately (it's not my first language), but I hope, that you understood
Wow i love how emotional and real this video is, not only are you listening to and analyzing the music but you are really feeling it man. You're not just like "Yeah this is a great song and i love how much Radiohead improved their songwriting, bla bla bla next song!" You are really connecting with it on an emotional level like it's supposed to be. I'm excited for watching the rest of these Radiohead episodes
This is exactly why I like watching Brad. I’ve shifted from watching fantano to watching Brad 99% of the time because it’s fun to see someone really getting into the music and experiencing it rather than dry commentary
i’m really excited for part two cause that’s where almost all of my favorite tracks are off of this album. i love how the bends is one of their more guitar and rock oriented material. it’s a sound for them that i wish we saw more of also, you should do this whole little background introduction with future albums you review. i think it’s interesting and adds a lot to the album experience for everyone, especially yourself edit: also! your edits in this video are top tier damn. can tell you really put your all into this one. it’s sick
Planet Telex - 3:02 The Bends - 8:50 High And Dry - 12:47 The Cooler High And Dry - 13:00 Fake Plastic Trees - 18:30 Bones - 23:48 (Nice Dream) - 25:33 Bro your outfits are godly Edit: It took me so long to realise that I spelt plant instead of planet I’m an absolute clown😭
Damn I remember listening to high and dry followed by fake plastic trees for the first time after going through an extremely rough portion of my life due to mental health. Listened to it on the bus on my way to work and started tearing up, such a beautiful pair of songs
I know the are not happy albums but when my wife died suddenly at 47 years old In Rainbows and a lot of their other music really helped me grieve and get through it for some reason they are very cathartic and soothing when you are going through tough times.
Imagine. You’re 18. It’s 1995. You’ve just started uni and you’re already over whatever britpop is. Imagine the depth this album brings to your listening pleasure. Very little has come close . Plus air guitaring at an indie disco to Just can’t be beat.
Bones and Sulk are the two songs that I think they feel like they belong more on Pablo Honey, which I think sets the point across that this album was the transition from PH to OK Computer
Idk, I could see quite a few tracks off of this album fit in with PH (The Bends, Bones, My Iron Lung, Black Star, and Sulk). They're pretty similar, although The Bends is basically Pablo Honey, but done way better.
I bought this album one day purely based on the album artwork alone. I was bored, I had some money, I wanted some new music that day. Had heard of the band but never any song. Well maybe Creep, but I sort of let it drift over me .Took it home, loaded the cd and pressed play. I then proceeded to have my head fucking blown off. I simply could not believe what I was hearing. It sounded like music from the future. Suffice to say I became an instant fan. And then when Ok came out I managed to get hold of a japanese import becasue I couldn't wait for the UK release any longer...and as fans we know the rest. A life changing experience stumbling across this band. I await all their releases with eager anticipation. One of all time favourite groups. Up there with the very, very best. If not the best rock group of all time for me. And all because I liked the cover and took a punt. Go figure.
This is such a turnaround from the first album imagine if Radiohead has chosen to take a heavy metal route rather than an alternative one that would’ve been crazy
I've been obsessed with Radiohead for a while now. I always get a new favorite song from them. Right now it's between I Might be Wrong and Pyramid Song
Arguably the best opening track on any Radiohead album (then again, the competition is rough: Airbag, Everything In Its Right Place, 2 + 2 = 5 and 15 Step are all brilliant openers as well).
That reaction to Fake Plastic Trees really hit me, I was right there with you. Can't wait to see your reactions to Just, My Iron Lung and Street Spirit :)
I have very fond memories of first listening to this album. By chance I heard 'Just' one day and thought "damn that was great I should check out the album", mate when Planet Telex kicked in for the first time I swear my skeleton left my body for a few seconds, what an album.
I remember one time I was listening to The Bends on the bus and when it got to Fake Plastic Trees, I decided to pay closer attention to the lyrics. I distinctly remembered how much that ended up impacting me, mainly based around how “she looks like the real thing, she tastes like the real thing, my fake plastic love” actually brought me to tears, which was the first time I ever full on cried to Radiohead. The Bends is such a great album, not my favourite by the band overall but one of my all time favourite albums in general. Cannot wait to see you cover more Radiohead Brad!
What's interesting about Brad finding the songs on this album as being more, um, full (for lack of better terms) than Pablo Honey is that a lot of songs from The Bends were already being performed during the previous era. Songs like The Bends, Fake Plastic Trees, and Street Spirit were staples of the Pablo Honey tour. High & Dry was even initially recorded in 1992 for inclusion on Pablo Honey.
I’d be lying if I said I haven’t just binge watched your arctic monkeys and mcr vids all day today and now you’ve just uploaded might as well watch one more lmao
I started following your account after your mocking-video about ok computer LMAO and now you’re actually reacting to Radiohead, this is a dream come true. I just wanted to say that you have improved a lot with your reactions, I really really liked your insightful comments and the way you went deep with each and every track. Hell I literally cried with you during fake plastic trees cuz I loved Radiohead’s music so much and you reminded me how it feels like to listen to them for the first time! Really great work fr
Top notch editing, and I love your analyses of the songs. I've listened to this album so many times but learned new things about it through watching this video! Super excited for all the reactions to come
Fake plastic trees reached a new level of emotion I could never imagine when it was played at my close friends funeral. I cannot listen to it without remembering him and it makes me want to break down every time. So fucking powerful
Oh man I can really hear the quality of your audio setup. When the bass hit in Telex I felt it through the screen, great to see that you’re able to give the production the attention it deserves. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Creep 2 on the second half
"Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop" Perfect visual for feeling on top of the world, only to look down and realize how far you have to fall.
Why is this only showing up on my algorithm 3 years later?! Madness. Love Brad's opinions on music -- I've missed them. He cuts through the bs and has a little fun with it. I agree with everything said.
What an honest display of emotions. Glad you resonated that way with such an special album. One of your best reviews so far, but not because I agree with it, I've also learnt to enjoy your negative reactions (I love Arctic Monkeys).
I think Coldplay would be a super interesting discography to delve into. I truly believe that their first four albums are Alt rock masterpieces that just came at the right time to be super popular. I’d love to see what you think of their deep cuts as I believe they tend to be 200x better then all their singles
Coldplay seriously do not deserve the amount of hate they get. Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is hands down one of the best albums mainstream media has seen, probably one of the best of our generation.
With how often Radiohead is changing up their style I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a country or a rap album one day. Fuckers went from alt to experimental rock to Minecraft cave noises
Now you understand - after listening to the very 1st track from The Bends, Pablo Honey bleaks completely in comparison. When people say that Pablo Honey sucks, I think they judge it through the "lens" of the following Radiohead albums.
Yes I bought it after I heard Creep on MTV and I used to listen to it a lot it really is not that bad of an album it is just the rest of their albums are so stellar and PH just gets a bad rap.
Unpopular opinion: the bends is the 2nd best radiohead album Also, this video is amazing. The editing is so good, and your reactions were great. I forgot how much I loved seeing Brad actually enjoy an album.
One of the best albums period. Easy top 10 right now for me. And also, your taste in music, the incorporation of memes and humor into the video, and the quality... I'm definitely subbing
Fake Plastic Trees was the hardest song to record in The Bends, just because of how perfect it sound, with just Thom and his acoustic guitar. They didn't know what else to add without ruining the feeling that the song encapsulates. Yet, they still deliver. What a track from a legendary album.
There's something interesting to say about the recording of each of these tracks. Here we go FACTS: 1. Planet Telex: Thom was very drunk and lying on the floor while recording the vocals on this track. And listen again and it will stand out. 2. The Bends: The sounds at the beginning were an instructor commanding a group of kids loudly. When Thom heard it he grabbed something to record it with (Likely a four-track recorder) Other than that, the track is two different takes spliced together. The split happens when it gets to the "lying on the floor with a drip-feed on". 3.High and Dry: The tracks that made it onto the album were originally a demo recording around the Pablo Honey time. Then tracks were recorded added later. 4: Fake Plastic Trees: The band did the vocal take after seeing Jeff Buckley in concert, that same night, and when Thom heard the vocal he was moved to tears. 5: Bones: Sorry I don't have any for this one. 6: Nice Dream: The band each played acoustic guitars on this one. I believe it was outside on a patio, but nonetheless, the layered acoustic track's sound came from having so many guitars. That's it for now, ill do the rest in part 2.
Planet Telex - 3:02 The Bends - 8:50 High And Dry - 12:47 The Cooler High And Dry - 13:00 Fake Plastic Trees - 18:30 Bones - 23:48 (Nice Dream) - 25:33
Also Fake Plastic Trees is always among my personal Top 3 Radiohead songs, such a good song to belt out whether I'm driving in my car or crying in the shower. Also also, I agree- the first half of this album is very large, in your face, and assmospheric.

But did the tone really change? I'd use the same adjectives to describe both albums' themes

I'd be lying if I said that Fake Plastic Trees doesn't make my cry every now and then
Unsurprisingly, high and dry and fake plastic trees are two of their most popular songs. They are honestly incredible

ohhhh so that’s why it sounds so good
"Lucky" was originally recorded during Bends era.
@@evanwright9016 More like a bridge between both sessions because Lucky was meant to be a song for a charity album by Brian Eno.
So that's why I've always thought it would've perfectly fitted if it was included in OKC, although it's a little bit similar to Airbag
That makes so much sense, I was like "this song sounds like an Ok Computer song"
Black star is my favorite radiohead song. Also, its hella underrated. It always makes me cry, hits different.

Yes I bought it after I heard Creep on MTV and I used to listen to it a lot it really is not that bad of an album it is just the rest of their albums are so stellar and PH just gets a bad rap.
Unpopular opinion: the bends is the 2nd best radiohead album
Also, this video is amazing. The editing is so good, and your reactions were great. I forgot how much I loved seeing Brad actually enjoy an album.
What's ur Radiohead's best album?
@@Bobby_LSerunai For me it changes like every week lol, but right now I'd have to say Kid A
Ur opinion is wrong 1.Ok computer 2.kid A 3.in rainbows
3rd for me but yeah I feel you. I just dont prefer the more grunge-y tracks scattered throughout but the highs of the album are ridiculous.
@@Bobby_LSerunai In rainbows
brad.
you are so swag rn.
love you :)
Planet Telex is pretty underrated
About the fade-out though, ok....but that melody line is beautiful!
Is the I got drip/creep remix dropping soon? I unironically like it
brad said the n word 😿
One of the best albums period. Easy top 10 right now for me.
And also, your taste in music, the incorporation of memes and humor into the video, and the quality... I'm definitely subbing
fake plastic trees is such a good song… one of my favorite songs ever.
I listened to this, this morning after a year and it made me tear up. Beautiful
This constant Brad content is one of the best parts of 2021🙏
Fake Plastic Trees was the hardest song to record in The Bends, just because of how perfect it sound, with just Thom and his acoustic guitar. They didn't know what else to add without ruining the feeling that the song encapsulates. Yet, they still deliver. What a track from a legendary album.
high and dry x let down is straight fire thank you brad
There's something interesting to say about the recording of each of these tracks.
Here we go
FACTS:
1. Planet Telex: Thom was very drunk and lying on the floor while recording the vocals on this track. And listen again and it will stand out.
2. The Bends: The sounds at the beginning were an instructor commanding a group of kids loudly. When Thom heard it he grabbed something to record it with (Likely a four-track recorder) Other than that, the track is two different takes spliced together. The split happens when it gets to the "lying on the floor with a drip-feed on".
3.High and Dry: The tracks that made it onto the album were originally a demo recording around the Pablo Honey time. Then tracks were recorded added later.
4: Fake Plastic Trees: The band did the vocal take after seeing Jeff Buckley in concert, that same night, and when Thom heard the vocal he was moved to tears.
5: Bones: Sorry I don't have any for this one.
6: Nice Dream: The band each played acoustic guitars on this one. I believe it was outside on a patio, but nonetheless, the layered acoustic track's sound came from having so many guitars.
That's it for now, ill do the rest in part 2.
The vocals for planet telex were also done at 2am if I remember correctly
That little Spin Doctors reference at 09:14 I see what you did there
I instantly fell in love with your channel
Planet Telex and Street Spirit are so good, this is my second favorite RH album
If you go through all of these albums, this is going to be unreal from Brad! I’m here for it!

you actually tripped me into thinkin you were gonna have meme songs instead of the real ones lol
In May we had a Top overdose, and now a Radiohead overdose, two of my favourites bands, thank you Bradley
Great video man, I'm so hyped for the next ones
Gotta love the existential crisis Radiohead brings on
I've been saying "A town full of Robert Plants" for years and no one ever knows what I'm talking about...
Also Fake Plastic Trees is always among my personal Top 3 Radiohead songs, such a good song to belt out whether I'm driving in my car or crying in the shower. Also also, I agree- the first half of this album is very large, in your face, and assmospheric.
