1001 Albums Summary

In 2017 I first became aware of Radiohead. Similar to others (and seemingly much to the dismay of the band) my favorite song was Creep. I never really progressed much further into the band, beyond a cursory listen or two of OK Computer. 8 years later, my first album on my 1001 is The Bends. I overall enjoyed my listen of The Bends, and see myself returning to it. Planet Telex, Fake Plastic Trees and Black Star are the songs that stuck out to me the most on this listen. 3/5

The attractions provided a great backup to vocals that unfortunately did not do it for me. I found the album fun but ultimately lackluster. Radio, radio was my favorite song and I am not sure if that is because it was the best or the final song before I got to listen to something else.
