I bought this the other day and i must say it is one of the best albums i have heard in a long time! I must admit before i heard this album i was ignorant of Radiohead and just saw them as a pretentious doom and gloom kinda band. How wrong I was! Every song on this album is fantastic! And I've come to realise how much of an outstanding band Radiohead are! Thom Yorke shows so much emotion in his songs and you can really feel it!

You need this album in your cd collection! It's really that good! It changed my perception of Radiohead completely and now i LOVE them!

Can't really say what the best song is because all of them seem to be freakin' awesome!

I confess to being a huge, long term radiohead devotee and this album is in my opinion their greatest momment and the best album of all time. It takes you through the whole spectrum of emotions. It is beautiful, just beautiful.

I've never been a die-hard Radiohead fan and only recently bought my first Radiohead album: OK Computer. That was partly on the strength of 'No Surprises', but mainly because it was voted Best Album ever on some Channel 4 vote.

That one took me quite a while to get into, however 'The Bends' hit the spot with me straight away and that's very, very rare.

The overall standard of the tracks is high, with a good balance of sounds, making it difficult to pick out the highlights but the final track, Street Spirit, is sublime - a perfect ending, leaving you wanting more.

Incidentally, having heard Mark Ronson's recent version of 'Just' first (which I didn't know was a Radiohead song) and now the original, there really is no comparison, Ronson's version doesn't come close.

Now I just need to decide which Radiohead album to buy next.
