Been here since Is This It from your car and I’ve waiting for this, great album. You should listen to Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins you’d love it and it’s Halloween season 🎃
i’m really glad you did this album. Fake plastic trees is my favourite song ever and it’s so nice seeing someone talk so lovely about it ☺️ Thank you for making these videos!!
Many people and charts rank this album extremely highly. When it came out in the 90s, to me, I don't think I'd heard anything this good before. It gets overlooked because it lacks the instrumental variety of their most acclaimed albums. It's a guitar album. To me that doesn't make it any weaker than any of the others. The soundscape, depth, atmosphere, (exquisite) melodies, dynamics, lyrics, rawness, and intense emotional communication are all top tier, and show the brilliance of Radiohead. (You could even say the fact that they can reach these heights with - basically - guitars only is even more impressive.) These songs express something deep about what it is to be human in a way the others albums don't. In a way their albums are a journey from human (mental / emotional) sickness (here) to outright dehumanization & alienation via technology and exploitation (OKC / KA / A / HTTF) and total loss (AMSP.) Finally, I've come to accept Bones is a great song but unfortunately it suffers from following FPT. For Blackstar, you might try Gillian Welch's cover to see if it opens up the song for you. You're a beautiful man. Keep shining.
I think The Bends on the song refers to how hugely popular the band got so early in their career because of Creep, and they rose to the top so fast, hence The Bends. Obviously Thom wasn't handling it very well and all of a sudden they didn't know who their real friends were anymore.
man I cannot believe how much knowledge and diving timing you stay dropping in these vids. I been really lookin for more signs to tap outta socials and here you are with the wisdom and motivation to get off the gram at 30:30... much love Jakar❤
Listening to The Bends and then Moon Shaped Pool next will be very interesting. Big musical journey between those albums. Both great albums with strong songs, but very different production approaches. They feel like the bookends of Radiohead's career to me. The Bends has grown on me over the years. I'm old enough to have been about when it came out. Didn't grab me at the time, but OK Computer blew me away and I went back to this later. Don't sleep on the 'King Of Limbs' album by the way, the last 4 tracks are some of their best work IMHO. And the 'extra' tracks of The Daily Mail and Staircase are bangers. Don't listen to the haters!
The Bends is like that really good album that you make right before your magnum opus. It's fantastic, but will never be a cultural touchtone in the same way that your 'masterpiece.' It's Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights, or Death Cab's Photo Album.
You can see the seeds of OK Computer in songs like Nice Dream, Planet Telex, and Street Spirit. It's not easy to make an album with so many really well written and played songs like The Bends and some people still prefer their more "rock" stage. Personally I like all their albums other than their first one, and there's still a couple of really good songs besides Creep, like You and Blowout to name a couple.
Three things 1. Enjoyed your reaction as always - shame on you for delaying so long with more Radiohead😉 2. The Bends will always be the one I love the most because it was my first and bought on the week of its release- I love the guitars layering 3. Don’t skip any of the albums - all of them have excellent songs on them
yo you should listen to ants from up there by black country new road, one of my favorite albums of all time it would be cool to see ur perspective on it
That's not a hot take at all, The Bends are awesome!!! People say that kid A is their masterpiece, but i would say Ok Computer and the bends actually, like you. My Favourite Tracks(from the most to the least): My iron Lung, Just, Fake plastic Trees, The bends The Least favourite truck: Nice Dream ( But that's still a good song)
kinda unrelated, but once you finish ariana grande’s discography / main 7 albums, you should listen to “ k, bye for now swt live” they include songs from ariana’s swt world tour, and have whistle notes ( and in my opinion ) some are better versions of some of the songs that she performed.
Been here since Is This It from your car and I’ve waiting for this, great album. You should listen to Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins you’d love it and it’s Halloween season 🎃
Also just wanted to say My Iron Lung was written about the band’s hatred for the popularity of creep.
Please Siamese Dream is my all time favourite album.
i’m really glad you did this album. Fake plastic trees is my favourite song ever and it’s so nice seeing someone talk so lovely about it ☺️ Thank you for making these videos!!

Thank you for this. Radiohead is amazing.. you can feel emotions of certain songs... like it speaks to your soul.

The track sulk is about the Hungerford Massacre and the line "just like your dad" was originally "just shoot your gun"
Fascinating: I’ve listened to this great album a thousand times, yet hearing another’s feel and view of it was enlightening.
Thanks, good job!
Love hearing your thoughts on this album! Your editing is fantastic by the way, 14:47 goes insanely hard

My second favourite Radiohead album. Next i suggest Hail to the Thief (very underrated alum) or amnesiac (similar album to Kid A I think)
Nice singing on "in bloom" 😊

Still waiting for the rest op Arianas Albums 😉😅🫶🏻
kinda unrelated, but once you finish ariana grande’s discography / main 7 albums, you should listen to “ k, bye for now swt live” they include songs from ariana’s swt world tour, and have whistle notes ( and in my opinion ) some are better versions of some of the songs that she performed.
hey man, could you react to Trench by twenty one pilots?
Love from Brazil
The Bends, Ok Computer, Kid A, In Rainbows. Those are their 4 essential albums. Any other opinion is invalid.
