    • Response to Radiohead Backlash:

      Pablo Honey was an ambitious achievement by a young band who previously sounded a little too much like U2 and REM. The Bends is a near-perfect snapshot of Radiohead distilling their approah to rock music. As another commenter understated: it “had feeling”. The best in their catalog in my opinion. It remains of my favorite albums- I used to listen to it constantly but now rarely do. OK Computer is a master work that will most likely be what RH is remembered for. Any release after that I don’t hold any excitement for. It was fortuitous that “In rainbows” was available free, because after spending money on the critics’ darling “Kid A” and the followup— that I could only remember the title as “Insomniac” because it was sleep-inducing background post-modern muzak— I vowed to never spend another dime on new Radiohead albums.
