The Auteurs were great but IMO the Bends is when RH opened up there musical attack and perfected their light/heavy slow/fast time changes within songs. They had atmosheric tones, acoustic guitars, and vicioius electric guitars and drums, often within the same song. Thom would sing like a choir boy one moment, then switch to a wicked snarl.
