Description
The Bends is the second studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released on 13 March 1995 by Parlaphone. The Bends was produced by John Leckie at EMI's studios in London, and engineered by Nigel Godrich, who would go on to produce all future albums by the band. Featuring five charting singles, the album also maked the beginning of a shift in aesthetics and themes for the band, with greater use of keyboards, and more abrasive guitar tracks balancing subtler ones. The introspective grunge-influenced style of Pablo Honey evolved toward more multi-layered rock with cryptic lyrics and larger ideas, as the band and singer Thom Yorke reacted against the rigors of near-constant world tours. "Street Spirit (Fade Out)," the final single and last song on the album, became their first top five UK hit. The album was subject to greater critical acclaim than their debut Pablo Honey (1993), receiving an enthusiastic critical reaction, and it reached #4 in the UK Albums Chart. The Bends achieved triple platinum sales certifications in the UK and Canada, and platinum sales in the US and the European Union. The Bends was ranked at #110 on Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. This is the ORIGINAL 1995 UK Vinyl LP Pressing on the Parlophone Label SEALED.
