Slight variations bring us the 1st *amazing* Radiohead album.

1993 was the year that Radiohead released their debut known as Pablo Honey. It was a mixture of pop and grunge, with the hit song Creep. Fastforward 2 years later, and they released The Bends: the band's 1st masterpiece.

Simply marvelous Radiohead!!!

I love this album!!! This is truly an album that will help you mellow out. Thom Yorke has a beautiful voice and the music is both exhilarating and entrancing. I have been a fan of Radiohead's since "Pablo Honey" and I know other fans who have not yet bought this album will love it! Just buy it!!!

Powerfull, consistent rock masterpiece

Starting and finishing with 2 of their most bluntly beautiful compositions in their catalouge, Radiohead does not waste a second to prove to the masses what we would all eventually come to realize some 5, 10 years later...The quality of composition stays consistent throughout, and while not as emotionally engaging or experimental as some of their later work, the majority of the album feels like a proper introduction to the true roots of one of our generations most brilliant bands, the pablo honey they were destined to make at first, had they taken a little more time..If you find yourself being turned off by this band's overindulgences as of late, you might want to start with this album, where all of the artistic "fat" that is associated with the melancholic beauty this band has come to provide is boiled down into it's most accessable common rock essence..Radiohead would go on to blaze a trail not seen throughout modern rock's history, however they would never repeat, perhaps intentionally, the accessability mixed with quality again as they had with The Bends....In a way, it is the last "non self conscious" album they were to put out..Enjoy what they sounded like before they grew paranoid in their compositions as the entire world watched...
