So I listened to Pablo Honey the other day. Besides Creep that album has nothing.
Even Creep sucks. So I'd say it has nothing.

Really really great version of Creep.

THINKING ABOUT YOU!

Y'all crazy.

Oooh also the link Sander posted is one of my favorite covers ever!

Anyone Can Play Guitar is awesome.

Actually, looking at Pablo Honey's tracklist, I like a lot of that album. More than I can say for The Bends, which pretty much has Street Spirit as the saving grace after a whole album of blandness.

What? It's boring. Street Spirit is awesome, but I never really go back to the rest of that album. Just doesn't do anything for me.

Zantera · « **Reply #846 on:** November 23, 2011, 11:39:54 PM »

While I do enjoy The Bends, it lacks standout songs for me.
Street Spirit is a good pick, (Nice Dream) is another favorite, but as a whole I feel like The Bends has all good songs, but few that reaches higher points then that, for me at least.

orcus116 · « **Reply #847 on:** November 24, 2011, 01:12:11 AM »

Lacks standout songs?

Just
Planet Telex
Fake Plastic Trees
High And Dry
My Iron Lung
The Bends
Street Spirit

All far and away better songs than a lot of more recent Radiohead songs.

Mladen · « **Reply #848 on:** November 24, 2011, 01:13:23 AM »

Standout tracks on The Bends?

Planet telex
The Bends
Fake plastic trees
Bones
Nice dream
Just
My iron lung
Black star
Street spirit

Oh wait, that's pretty much the entire album.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #849 on:** November 24, 2011, 01:25:17 AM »

Yeah, almost the whole album is great, with the title track, High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, Just, and Street Spirit being my favorites.

Zantera · « **Reply #850 on:** November 24, 2011, 02:48:10 AM »

Those are all great songs, but not FANTASTIC for me.
When I look back at all their albums after The Bends, I feel like at least every album has a few standout songs that I like more then my favorites on The Bends.

Heck, even The King of Limbs (which was a small disappointment) has The Lotus Flower and Codex.

This, The Bends is pretty ~~fucking special~~ great. In fact, I'd say it has more standout songs than Kid A.

Zantera · « **Reply #852 on:** November 24, 2011, 11:18:46 AM »

No way.
Kid A has Everything In It's Right Place, Morning Bell, Idioteque, Optimistic, In Limbo and How to Disappear Completely, all of them are better then everything on The Bends.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #853 on:** November 24, 2011, 11:19:08 AM »

I love all of The Bends, except for sulk. For me, it always kinda threw off the flow of the album.

Yeah but, The Bends doesn't have anything as sucky as Treefingers, Motion Picture Soundtrack, or the title-track.

Also, if there's anything on Kid A that's better than everything on The Bends, then it's The National Anthem.

You can't be serious, Motion picture soundtrack is a lovely piece of music.

I actually like "Kid A". I don't really know why.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #859 on:** November 24, 2011, 03:00:29 PM »

Kid A is pretty close to being 'music as art,' and I normally hate that kind of label.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #860 on:** November 24, 2011, 03:17:03 PM »

The song Kid A kind of creeps (nugget!) me out, honestly. "We've got heads on sticks" and all that, plus the music is just weird. Not much music makes me feel unsettled, but Radiohead has a few tracks on Kid A and Amnesiac that I find pretty freaky.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #861 on:** November 24, 2011, 03:18:00 PM »

Totally agree, the title track's the one song that's properly scared me when I tried to sleep after listening to it. It's just so... unsettling. Then when I read that Thom Yorke recorded it with that vocal filter to gain 'psychic distance' from the 'horrible subject matter,' it got even creepier.

Mladen · « **Reply #862 on:** November 25, 2011, 02:13:13 AM »

That's such a cool song. I honestly have no idea what it's about, but to me it sounds like one blurry flashback. Very weird stuff indeed.

The Bends is like a Greatest Hits album of Radiohead, only that it's their second album.

Zantera · « **Reply #868 on:** November 26, 2011, 12:09:28 PM »

Too bad it's their worst album (not counting Pablo Honey).
Still great though.

Ok why the fuck do Radiohead albums never cease to be amazing? Relistening Kid A for the 12398x, still baffles me.

Right behind I&W, Kid A is my favorite album ever made. Just utterly incredible.

I'm spinning The Bends at the moment, and loving every minute of it

skydivingninja · « **Reply #872 on:** November 29, 2011, 07:38:44 PM »

Kid A is just so unlike anything I was listening to at the time, and it just gradually clicked for me after a year. In fact, its still unlike anything else I listen to. Just a perfect album.

That main, clean guitar line is just marvelous. It sounds like something you'd listen to while floating over the clouds. That is the best way I can describe it.
