this is a fantastic album, radioheads best ever. a lot of people would say o.k computer but in my view the bends is so much more. every tracks a winner. o.k computer is patchy!!

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.

This was a really good album, i wasn't expecting it to be that good but it was, im not a massive fan of radiohead but this album made me see them differently

Having heard Radiohead before and disliking them, and then hearing OK Computer and hating them even more, i was forced to listen to this at a friends. i found it one of the most relaxing, chilled out albums i have ever listened to, was massively surprised by it. i understood why people like radiohead purely becaiuse of this cd. i went home, bought it and listened again. its now among my favourite albums with whats the story morning glory and the stone roses!

Oh my gos can;t believe no one has reviewed this classic album what can i say about the bends ???

BEST Radiohead album only beats Ok Computer just though but what a quality album for the price brings back good memories of when it came out and i when i was 18 and partying buy it and love it's genius
