The Bends is one of the best rock albums of the last 15 years or so and I love it even though I'm not so hot on the sound of the album. I just find it a tad disappointing that they've gone down a musical cul de sac pretty much since then. I also just watched the movie Urgh! with a ton of great bands live at the top of their game and this RH thing pales in comparison. Maybe that's not fair though...
Cul de Sac? OK Computer? That album is a modern classic and far superior to The Bends imo. The Bends is alright for straight up indie rock but they have grown with every album since then. Radiohead is a modern day Beatles or Pink Floyd.
