Radiohead - The Bends

Radiohead
The Bends

The Bends is the moment Radiohead went from being a scrappy alt-rock band with a surprise hit to something far more ambitious and unpredictable. It’s a record that still clings to the bombast of mid-’90s guitar rock, but there’s an unease running through it, a sense that they’re already looking for a way out of the genre’s confines.
