Review

Contrary to those Radiohead fans who claim that OK Computer is the best Radiohead album, I say that The Bends is the true best one. I love this album so much. It takes me on an emotional rollercoaster but I enjoy every second of it. You go from rocking out tracks, to sad and emotional tracks, to tracks that just have a vibe. I think the vocals and lyricism are amazing. It's helped me cope with a lot of things and it just has a special place in my heart. I love all their albums, but this takes the cake.

Special shoutout to Planet Telex because the piano in that song is absolutely FIRE

Rating:★★★★★ (5/5)
