The Bends


I can't stress the fact that any radiohead album you buy you'll be pleased with (with the exception of Pablo Honey-their debut record). And here is The Bends. Radiohead's sophmore release is nothing less than brilliance in the form of wonderfully passionate rock. Thom Yorke tends to focus a lot of the lyrics on human frailty in this album, so there's a whole lot of tenderness as well as a sense bitterness and angst. I love The Bends. Every song is awesome and passionate, although some are more so than others. I don't have any favorite songs off of this masterpiece but I do tend to like "Fake Plastic Trees" and "Black Star" a lot (I'm not copying you, Nathan; we just have the same opinion here).
