Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Radiohead Photos
More from Radiohead
Amazon.com: Before Radiohead became the biggest critics' darling since Pavement or Dr. Dre, they were just another pre-Oasis British band with some loose indie ties, trying to gain some cred. Loopy enough to name this moody, often battering debut album for a Jerky Boys routine, they were also a lot more interesting when they hadn't yet learned the word "soundscape." "Creep," the miserably majestic single they now claim nearly ruined them, may not even be the best thing here; try "Anyone Can Play Guitar," an epitaph for River Phoenix before the fact. --Rickey Wright Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Thursday, June 3, 1993The aforementioned date is when I first heard of Radiohead. I was 14 and a high school freshman. I consider this information relevant because at that time is when I was first discovering my own musical tastes without anyone's influence also being really familiar with "Alternative" music, I have noticed it taking a different and somewhat of a disappointing turn so I saw the video "Creep" only briefly because I was unimpressed and it was because that song sounded quite similar to Sonic Youth (a dearly beloved band) especially before the chorus when there came that "guitar-crunch" I wasn't impressed because only Sonic Youth could work their sound like no one else. Also they seemed to be the latest band featuring morose lyrics, i.e. "Wish I was ... Read More: Rating:  - Very VERY humble beginningsAnother title to this review could've been 'Whoa! Whoa... Really not good. -at all'. Let me first state that Radiohead is one of my favorite bands. I would give The Bends and OK Computer both five stars and the rest after them between three and four stars but this album is not really the Radiohead that I, and most everybody else, have come to know and love. Another reviewer said it best in his title to his review, "Doesn't really foreshadow the future greatness of the band". And yet another reviewer said that "this could be anybody". I couldn't agree more with both of those reviewer's statements. Aside from track two (Creep) this album is nothing special and in my opinion is only worth having to complete a Radiohead ...

It took me a while to like these tracks (like at least 4 or 5 listens) after that it stuck with me. There are some very catchy pop tunes on here. "Stop Whispering," "You," "How Do You?," and "Vegetable" are some of the most memorable tracks. It is worth buying this especially if you are a fan of 90s pop/rock. Rating: - Doesn't really foreshadow the future greatness of the band...Today, I made an amusing discovery in the bottom of one of my desk drawers - the cassette tape single from when this album first came out of "Creep." I was 12 years old at the time, and like many people who went through adolescence in the early nineties, I had just really started to get heavily into music thanks to Nirvana. I loved "Creep" when I first heard it, so I picked up this single, and if you've never heard it, the B-Side of "Creep" is a song called "Faithless, the Wonder Boy," and it truly is outstanding (unfortunate that it wasn't put on Pablo Honey). So, I bought this album (back in the day), and while I still loved the two songs on the "Creep" single, the majority of Pablo Honey didn't do much for me. I was thinking that ... Read More: Rating:  - 3 out of 5 StarsFor all intents and purposes, The Bends was Radiohead's true debut. Indeed, many Radiohead fans pass over this album as if it never existed. However, listening to the album, one immediately hears a promising collection of tunes, that, while not as fleshed out as those on follow-up The Bends, makes clear the direction the band would eventually settle in. "Blow Out", ending on a long instrumental break of distorted guitars, and "You", the album's opening salvo (not to mention its odd time signature), signal the band's experimentation on future endeavors. And while the band seemingly has difficulty writing compelling material, there are highlights scattered throughout, whether it be the U2-esque buildup of "Stop Whispering", the lilting "Lurgee" or the Jim ...
