1001 Albums Summary

This album is a great example of what makes this activity fun. There was a lot more to this record than I expected. I probably wouldn’t have ever given it much of a chance otherwise, but it was very enjoyable.

Rediscovered 'Friends' on this re-listen! Celebration Day is a fun, energetic song. 'Since I've Been Loving You' might be my favorite Zeppelin song! Tangerine and Gallows Pole are both great as well. I enjoy the more acoustic/softer vibes on this album.

Intro: Not sure this is going to be my vibe! But i normally listen to my album while working so this may actually boost some productivity I enjoyed listening to this record more than I expected! Not really my style but something I could potentially circle back to while working or needing an energy boost. Appreciate the art!

Of course the first two songs on this record are classics! The rest of the album really held up much more than I expected. Love the themes and messages across the whole album. I really wanted to give this album a 5, but felt like there were a few skips so I ended up giving a 4.

Jamming! No lyrics after the first song ? Interesting how polarizing the reviews of this record are! I am enjoying it, i feel like it is one of those that in the right time and place to listen it is awesome. While working, doing stuff around the hours, having on as background is great! I appreciate the artistic expression and its the type of band i would love to see live.

Never really heard of this band or album going into listening. Up tempo! Solid intro Listened through Alright - definitely a song I recognize but never realized this is the band. Really like the start of this album - all of the songs so far are catchy and I like the tempo of the album. Enjoyed 'Shees so Loose" "Time" is a fun one! A little change up compared to other tracks. There are a lot of fun and catchy songs up and down the album! Just as good as some other British bands I have heard more about. I appreciate the energy the band plays with and I like some of the samples at beginning of songs etc. Will certainly look to listen to this one again.

Listening to The Bends after listening to Supergrass and having recently listened to Hail to the Thief as well. Going into listening, I feel like I typically am not a huge fan of Radiohead compared to what their hype is. The Bends is a jam. Solid jam band sound. I don't always love Yorke's whiny, drawn out vocals. High and Dry is of course one of Radiohead's most famous songs. Its good, its fine, its solid. A good song. Nothing special. Enjoyed Bones! Saved to my rock playlist (Nice Dream) was boring Just is good! Brings back some energy Bullet Proof again just kind of boring - I don't think the spacey, electronic post-grunge sound on a lot of the songs on this record is for me Overall, not terrible. Just has moments that are really boring imo. Still a few jams mixed in there but not consistent enough for me.

This record really grew on me as I listened. Definitely expected to be giving this one a 2/3, but the album just kept getting better. A lot of catchy and vibey songs. If I would have listened on a hot summer day with a joint it might have gotten 5*!
