Radiohead rebound from one-hit wonder status with this sophomore classic--the first to blueprint their operatic sonics.
On only their second outing Oxford's Radiohead fulfilled their huge potential, fashioning an album whose relentlessly downbeat tone was offset by an ability to formulate consistently winning melodies. The title track and "Just" throw some customary rock poses, but for the most part the band displayed a far more expansive approach. Thom Yorke emerged from the woodwork with a new-found vocal confidence, revealing a striking falsetto on two of the album's strongest tracks, "Fake Plastic Trees" and "High & Dry." The last three songs build inexorably to the stunning emotional climax of "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" with a control and poise that showcased the band's new maturity.

Editorial reviews
Included in Rolling Stone's Essential Recordings of the 90's.
Rolling Stone  (05/13/1999)

Included in Q's 50 Best Albums of 1995 - ...THE BENDS' lasting mightiness is confirmed--as is the scary impression that they'll only get better...
Q  (02/01/1996)

Ranked #6 on Melody Maker's list of 1995's `Albums Of The Year' - Rock as self-evisceration....consistently, savagely brilliant...
Melody Maker  

Ranked #4 in NME's `Top 50 Albums Of The Year' for 1995.
NME  

3.5 Stars - Very Good - ...THE BENDS [is] a sonically ambitious album that offers no easy hits. It's a guitar field day, blending acoustic strumming with twitches of fuzzy tremolo and eruptions of amplified paranoia...
Rolling Stone  (05/18/1995)

...Sometimes folky, sometimes rocky, the sophomore album from this English band offers a smorgasbord of guitar flavors, most of them tasty, The stylistic leaps make for schizoid listening....but give these boys credit for not standing still... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly  (04/07/1995)

...THE BENDS' greatest asset is its approximation of London Suede, all the parody and none of the pomp....THE BENDS proves that Radiohead didn't shoot their bolt with `Creep.' That there's a lot more stirring down there than their recent past might admit...
Alternative Press  (04/01/1995)

Ranked #110 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time - [O]peratic, marrying a majestic and somber guitar sound to the virtuosic urgency of Thom Yorke's vocals...
Rolling Stone  (12/11/2003)

Ranked #16 in Mojo's 100 Modern Classics -- [With] songs of such unpredictable elegance they would touch the heart in any setting.
Mojo  

Fourteen years later, Coldplay and dozens of lesser imitators are still hammering away at the stadium-size melancholy Radiohead perfected here.
Entertainment Weekly  

5 stars out of 5 -- It had it all....Yorke's gloriously acerbic sarcasm ringing true throughout.
Record Collector  

4.5 stars out of 5 -- [With a] wild sweep of sound colors and exploded emotional palette...
Rolling Stone  

THE BENDS was essentially split between these poles: warmth and tension; riffs and texture; rock and post-rock...
