Pro Reviews: Bends
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Pablo Honey in no way was adequate preparation for its epic, sprawling follow-up, The Bends. Building from the sweeping, three-guitar attack that punctuated the best moments of Pablo Honey, Radiohead create a grand and forceful sound that nevertheless resonates with anguish and despair -- it's cerebral anthemic rock. Occasionally, the album displays its influences, whether it's U2, Pink Floyd, R.E.M. or the Pixies, but Radiohead turn clichés inside out, making each song sound bracingly fresh. Thom Yorke's tortured lyrics give the album a melancholy undercurrent, as does the surging, textured music. But what makes The Bends so remarkable is that it marries such ambitious, and often challenging, instrumental soundscapes to songs that are at their cores hauntingly melodic and accessible. It makes the record compelling upon first listen, but it reveals new details with each listen, and soon it becomes apparent that with The Bends, Radiohead have reinvented anthemic rock. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

they have now reached the status that bands like the beatles, led zeppelin, and pink floyd have been graced with. thom yorke and the boys pin each track down like professionals at work. every song sounds unique in a way and each one is irresistable. "airbag", "high and dry", "fake plastic trees", "just", "street spirit", "my iron lung", "the bends", and "bones" are a mixture of bittersweet melancholy, and the sweet tenderness and anger of good old rock n roll.
radiohead. you got to love them. if you don't then you might as well stick to the trash that you love. ...
