Radiohead – The Bends

The Bends By Radiohead

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 unmistakably Radiohead maturing and defining their own sound. The Bends’ breakthrough came with the critically acclaimed album “Ethereal Echoes,” which featured the hit single “Lost in the Waves.” This track quickly became a favorite among fans and received significant airplay.
