The Bends was my first Radiohead album. Later, I bought some other records and discovered something.
The Bends is so un-Radiohead-like. It's a great album, don't get me wrong. But the overall sound is so conventional that they can actually be related to Coldplay. OK Computer, Kid A, Hail to the Thief...Those albums are so electronically-driven and so experimental. It's just so...Different. Personally, I love it. I think The Bends is a good introductory album to Radiohead, but after you venture past that, you either like them or you don't. That's just a quality Radiohead has.
