Radiohead / The Bends (1995)

Someone ought to tell Thom Yorke that such winy, nasally vocals are reserved solely for Mr. Willie Nelson, find a different sound if you please. Indeed halfway through I was unsure if Yorke was still singing or the band had convinced Bono to sing on another piece of garbage besides his own. Notable for little other than "High and Dry" and "Fake Plastic Trees", yes the guitar is good and interesting, but that alone does not make a band. Perhaps the album could have been shortened and turned into an EP, but if you did that then there really wouldn't have been a point to releasing anything at all. What a wonderful thought.

Rating = Earth Record

Sincerely;

T.R.Z. Oswald
