Radiohead's second studio album "The Bends" saw the post-grunge Britpop giants move away from the Nirvana like sound of their debut release "Pablo Honey" and into slightly more introspective territory.
The initial track "Planet Telex" is an interesting one to kick off with; there are some subtle electronic undertones, far removed from their earlier work, yet very palatable to even hardcore fans of Pablo Honey.
The albums title track, "The Bends" does however see a return to their grunge-like heyday, but encompasses both the post-grunge and early Britpop camps with its heavy choruses, slowed down verses and catchy lyrics.
The following tracks "High and Dry" and "Fake Plastic Trees" rewarded Radiohead further popularity both sides of the Atlantic with their acoustic verses, timely use of falsetto in Thom Yorke's vocal and solid chord progressions.
The album ebbs and flows nicely through the following few tracks. For example; "Nice Dream" begins with a pleasant acoustic progession, and builds again into the heavier more familiar sound of their earlier work. "Just," "My Iron Lung" and "Bullet Proof... I wish I was" again provide further examples of why you can never pin this remarkable, ever evolving band down to just one genre.
The drama of "Black Star" and "Sulk" lead into the introspective "Street Spirit" rounding off this epic release beautifully with its flurry of notes.
Many great and iconic albums were born in the 1990s, but this one is up there at the top.
