1995 Sophomore Album Reissued On 180g Vinyl LP!
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 276/500!
The Bends is the second studio album by Radiohead. In 1995, two years after an incredible debut in Pablo Honey, Radiohead were under tremendous pressure to deliver. Much to the delight of critics and fans the world over, they did more than deliver - they far exceeded expectations.
Building from the sweeping, three-guitar attack that punctuated the best movements of Pablo Honey, The Bends is grand and forceful; it resonates with anguish and despair. Although the influences - R.E.M., the Pixies, and U2 - are still there, this is unmistakenly Radiohead maturing and defining their own sound.

The first half of Nineties rock was shaped by Nirvana, and the second half was dominated by Radiohead. Their second album married a majestic and somber guitar sound to Thom Yorke's anguished-choirboy vocals, drawing on the epic grandeur of U2 and the melancholy of the Smiths.Features:
