The Bends is a classic album (though not exceptionally clever or sophisticated, it just has great tunes), and so are the B-sides! India Rubber, Lozenge Of Love, Talk Show Host, Bishops Robes and of course Maquiladora. I mean those B Sides would be most bands best tracks on their best ever album but Radiohead are knocking them out the park to put on the flip side! Including the 8 maybe 9 great tracks on the album its one of my favourite eras of Radiohead (I'd rather listen to the Bends than their last few albums for example). Radiohead were constantly on the radio back then so they were hard to ignore. Easy the best albums of 1995 along with ...I Care Because You Do. I don't know how they did it but glad they swerved all the 95 The Battle Of Britpop bullshit that was going down at the time (Blur vs Oasis etc). I think it was Ed O'Brien who said they always felt they had a lot in common with Massive Attack because both bands weren't from that Manchester London bubble they felt like outsiders, which suited them fine. Yes The Bends is brilliant, but obviously is more guitar orientated than latter efforts. It's a very strong 8 out of 10 from The Wolf. It also brings back good memories as 95 time I was discovering loads and loads of great music because I was 19 and moving out of the Tribal Metal Head phase into new pastures of sound which was gonna be spearheaded by the discovery of Warp Records. Which was a very good thing for me. Spidey senses were on full alert! Edited July 8, 2023 by beerwolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Sombrero Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 New song sounds like Weird Fishes, Stravinsky strings then early 90's Smashing Pumpkins for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Hopefully catch them live next time they visit London. I presume getting tickets won't be the massive ball ache and expense that is the norm nowadays to see popular bands (my best mate wanted me to go along with him to see Foo Fighters, which to be honest I wouldn't mind seeing for a bit of a drunken sing along and jump up and down, though with tickets starting at £280 Dave and the boys can jump up and down on this ) Edited July 8, 2023 by beerwolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
