Amazon.co.uk Review
After the massive success of Pablo Honey--or, more specifically, the single "Creep"--had made them a household name, most had written Radiohead off as one-hit wonders. That they could return with an album as awesome and monumental as The Bends, therefore, must have been particularly unexpected. Not that Pablo Honey is a bad album, but rather, when compared to the epic grandeur of The Bends, it's obvious that the five Oxford-based boys had matured immensely since the release of their debut. "High And Dry", "Just", "Street Spirit", "Fake Plastic Trees": nary a pop song among them, yet it's testament to their greatness that they all were hit singles. And really, it's easy to see why: Thom Yorke's falsetto crying over a wall of acoustic and electric guitars, as lyrics and music blend to create a masterpiece of melancholy beauty. The Bends is one of the most essential albums of the 1990s, and a spectacular indicator of further greatness to come. --Robert Burrow

One of Radiohead's best albums April 13, 2010
Jalelo Gram (Brighton, UK)
Well what can I say: it's a great album. One of Radiohead's best in my opinion. It has loads of Radiohead's classic songs on it such as My Iron Lung, The Bends, Bones, Fake Plastic Trees, Just and many more and is album you can listen to continuously over and over again - it never gets old. A great buy which is definitely worth the money.

This is just a brilliant album. Every song is great, with punchy guitars and good tunes, and it all hangs together to give a hugely satisfying listening experience.

i read a review that called this album and band the defining factor in a new era of music that influenced the likes of coldplay, travis and keane. for that alone, this band should all be taken outside and collectively strung up from the nearest tree. ive listened to this, and all radioheads albums, to try and see what everybody is talking about in their praise of this band. ive heard a couple of decent songs 'creep' 'paranoid android' (even if it is a bowie rip off) - but this album is devoid of anytyhing worthwhile. it is a tuneless, whining dirge that indeed helped spawned a whole plethora of other bands like the ones mentioned earlier. insipid, spineless, skinny white art students who all look and sound the same, spewing out the same old tinny pretensious indie jingly-jangling angsty rubbish. no wonder the british music scene, from being the strongest hot-bed of talent in the world, is now a joke.
