The Bends

Erstes Radiohead Album, das ich bewusst angehört habe, und ehrlich gesagt, ich verstehe es einfach nicht. Das ist vielleicht »besser« als Coldplay, aber ich kann mich zwei bis drei Tage später an keinen Track erinnern, obwohl ich das Album drei mal angehört habe.

Inte så bra som ja minns och väldigt få låtar som faktiskt e intressanta, gilla fake plastic trees, the bends och sista sången o resten va ganska tråkigt.

Thom sounds very sad here that Nirvana are no more. I didn’t realise at the time just how influenced early Radiohead were by the US Grunge wave. A style that passed me by at the time, and still leaves me cold now. I am not a fan of Thom’s whiny voice, and the heavy rock feel of a lot of this doesn’t do it for me. A couple of okay tunes, but they could have used a bit more subtlety in their execution.

Ik luister er naar maar ik ben niet geprikkeld. Dit is voor mij 13 in een dozijn pop/rock muziek. Het is niet slecht, maar ook niet bijzonder. Beetje saai eigenlijk. **

Some alright songs but a bit depressing like. Wouldn’t choose to listen to it again but wouldn’t change station if it came on the radio.

not a fan of radiohead

this is the same face I made when the music finally stopped.

keep trying, keep not liking anything they do.

Favourite song: Just Least favourite song: Most of them Perhaps it’s my inability to fully seperate the art from the artist(s), but I can just never get behind Radiohead. They’re like if the word “centrism” was a band. Fake deep. I found most of the album boring. Was it a groundbreaking genre transition at the time or something ? Is this why people like it?

fun fact! radiohead were terrible until OK Computer

Still not sure why people like these guys so much.

No, I'm not going to listen to all the radiohead albums again.

disco para pretenciosos muy malo

It’s okay

Demasiado calmado y tranquilo para mí

As usual, this rating is out of principle. The insufferable frontman outmatched in insufferability only by band's own fanbase. Petty? Maybe. But a petty act of a small man for mankind, a big act of pleasure for a man.

absolutely love this album, but i won't separate the art from a group who vocally refuse to stand against genocide.

This is my third Radiohead album and the knowledge that there are still another three to go fills me with rage. They aren't that good. No one artist should have six albums on this list. I'd like to propose a maximum of three per artist. All the extra spaces should then be allocated to artists who are not represented at all. Labi Sifre, Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, The Dubliners. All examples of artists who deserve at least one album on here but languish on zero while I am told to listen to yet another fucking Radiohead album.

Sigo sosteniendo que Radiohead es una de las bandas más sobrevaloradas de los últimos 30 años

Not for me. Skipped after the third song. Their sound kinda just makes me depressed and have a headache.

Sucks

Total crap , the most overated band in the history of Rock , they paid the critics cash to rate them cant expalin otherwise

Please no more.

Ultra-bruyant, je n'ai pas fini 3 titres puis j'ai arrêté l'album après le 5e tellement c'était désagréable.

If I wanted to wallow in self pity I can think of so many albums I'd rather listen to, where I wouldn't have to listen to Thom Yorkes droning voice. I don't understand how this is so highly regarded, maybe I'm missing something? It's just boohoo poor me incel music which I suppose has its place but it's not even vaguely interesting boohoo poor me incel music. The only song that stood out for me was 'Just' but I'm not even sure I like it or if it was just slightly better than the rest of this snoozefest.

zionists

I do not like Radiohead.

Not a fan

I didn't really like it. Felt like something is sucking my energy out of me.

radiohead is overrated and fucking sucks

Jedinica iz principa. // Bila bi trica na street spirit i još par pjesama za koje čak i ja, kao najveći hejter radioheada i na muzičkoj i na etičkoj osnovi, moram reći da su dobre ali tu ocjenu balansira činjenica da je dobar dio ostatka albuma doslovno fejk plastični RATNI ZLOČIN! Najgora stvar koju je Jeff Buckley ikad uradio: dao samopouzdanje ovom antitalentovanom friku da pjeva "falseto".

In a bad mood and nothing cut through my thoughts except the acerbic stuff. Dads favorite album.

No thanks

Puke.

Never liked it

Even my daughter who enjoys Radiohead is not a fan of this album…

FUCK. On a Friday? I have to listen to more of this terrible band? No, I'm not going to do it. Skipping thru songs, I find it's less art pretention and more sounds like what other bands were doing in 1995. BUT, it's still this stupid band and I've been tortured enough by their stupid fucking catalogue on this website. I really can't even be slightly objective anymore. They're a trash band with a trash front man and they'll continue to be trash as long as I have to rate their trash albums. (only one star because I can't give 0)

Didn’t listen.

i hate radiohead

1001 albums that are mediocre listens before you die.

Pretentious, drab and pseudo-intellectual, its pretty bland. Thom Yorke sounds like a nasally dying cat mumbling through songs and everything is produced to sound to be played at a funeral. It sounds like a bunch of college students trying so hard to be relevant, and they just aren't. The songs present themselves as sentimental & moving but there's no matching emotion behind it. Happy people love this, but I'm sitting there asking... why?

Gross

Just another one that’s not for me. I find this stuff so boring. Nothing catches my ear. I’m sure the problem but it’s just so bland to me.

honestly just not for me in the slightest bleh songs all round

Pretentious songs presenting pretend problems; a guaranteed way to make a bad day worse. (I apologise for previous Radiohead reviews where I claimed they had one good song - upon hearing it within its intended context I can only conclude that ‘Just’ is not their only good song, as they have none.)

Not a Radiohead fan!

Maybe when Thome York stopped being a zionist.

I know why I stayed clear of Radiohead for almost 30 years.

First listen

I regret that I originally gave this album 2 stars based on only half-listening to it. That was unfair. But now that I've had the opportunity to give it my full attention, I am pleased to report that I fully hate it.

I'm sorry, but I don't like Radiohead. I never liked Radiohead, and I never will. The first thing that always catches my ear is singer Thom York's voice, and I'm totally annoyed. That whiny, whiny sound, unbearable. The rest is easy to explain, insignificant! I've never understood the hype surrounding Radiohead and consider them one of the completely overhyped bands.

Very boring and the singer had a whiny voice. Not enjoyable at all.

This is the 14th album I’m rating. I haven’t listened to any Radiohead outside of Creep, I think. However, I hear Radiohead is pretty good so this better be one of my favorite albums ever. Planet Telex - Not Adding to my Playlist. On a different day I might like this. The Bends - Adding to my Playlist. This sounds pretty good. High and Dry - Adding to my Playlist. I think I heard this before. Maybe I’m thinking of that Rolling Stones song. Fake Plastic Trees - Adding to my Playlist. This is pretty boring but good. Bones - Not Adding to my Playlist. This sounds kinda basic but maybe its because it was really influential. (Nice Dream) - Not Adding to my Playlist. I feel like I’ve heard this song a bunch of times before. Just - Not Adding to my Playlist. A bit too long in my opinion. All of these songs feel pretty similar. My Iron Lung - Not Adding to my Playlist. So far it isn’t looking good for The Bends. Bullet Proof … I Wish I Was - Not Adding to my Playlist. This isn’t particularly memorable, interesting, or fun. Black Star - Not Adding to my Playlist. Maybe I’m not paying enough attention but this all feels identical. Sulk - Not adding to my Playlist. This is boring and annoying. Street Spirit (Fade Out) - This album is not that good. All in all I liked 3/12 songs. All of this was pretty similar and boring. It isn’t the worst thing in the world. However, it is pretty boring and the third worst album so far.

1/5

Meh. Noise and whining. Might have been OK for one song, but I was trying hard to keep listening to the drivel by the fourth song. To quote Beavis and Butthead" This sucks! Change it!"

Shit like everything of theirs I've ever heard. How the hell they got so big amazes me.

A "1". I dont like Radiohead; a whole album=ick for me. Speaking into the void and hoping it doesnt speak back: - so many Radiohead (and Beetles and...) albums says a lot about the author(s) the list, and how 'experts' can get stuck in small recursive ponds, this material is weary, bleak and plaintive. I can do weepy melancholia is small doses, we all can, but this does it in a way that really grates for me. Does a fine job evoking/capturing abject shades of emotion, but other than providing soundtracks for breakup scenes/pathos/bathos, why oh why?

Lovely voice, unexpectedly. I find the music unmoving, unmusical, as if it’s being made up as it goes.

This bored me

Very mid to be honest. I was not a big fan of this. I listened to this on my hike. That probably wasn't the greatest idea since I like to connect with nature on my hikes. Listening to this only took me away from the present moment. The instrumentals were too crazy. It felt like I was being abducted by aliens.

Nicht meins

This is the 3rd Radiohead album that is on this list... People are morons.

I never really got into Radiohead. The one song I know is Creep and I prefer the J Church cover of that.

Oh my fucking god. More Radiohead?!?! WHHYYYYYYY???? I’m so sick of how over-esteemed this crappy band is. I’m not listening to this record because I already know what’s on it and I hate Radiohead and they suck. But let’s get into shall we? They’re cold and disaffected and inaccessible in a way that isn’t cool or even mildly intimidating; there’s no danger. And their detachment isn’t felt in a hipster superiority way either. They just seem like they know intellectually what it is to feel, yet none of them have ever felt anything genuinely at all in their detached weirdo fuckhead lives. That’s why I hate them so much. Their music is cold and impersonal and I suspect made by aliens doing some kind of a 3rd Rock From the Sun anthropological project on our planet. Stop pretending you can feel and making gobs of money off of it! I can see through your shit, Radiohead. I don’t want this. I don’t want any more of this non-human soundscape crap.

Mwah

Love this one, heard it before
