The sophomore LP from British rock band Radiohead, released in 1995. In many ways, The Bends is very similar to their debut, Pablo Honey, albeit more inventive. Rather than relying so much on rock cliches, Radiohead began to delve into more advanced songwriting. Although they had not yet entirely embraced their reliance on the studio for their sound, there is clearly more studio usage with this album as can be seen on songs like "Planet Telex," "Fake Plastic Trees," and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)."
Generally speaking, The Bends is Radiohead's most immediately accessible album. Though the songs are not as blatantly simple as those on Pablo Honey, they are still firmly within the parameters of rock. It did, however, serve as a brilliant transition between their heavily R.E.M.-influenced music and the more post-rock style of their 1997 release, OK Computer. The Bends has since earned a reputation as one of the best albums of the 1990s.

A popular town in the Pacific Northwest and now dependency of the 'The Bay Area'. Bend was invaded in 1992 by an advancing army from 'The Bay Area' of California. Bend was quicky conquered with little resistance. In modern times most Bend inhabitants will tell you they are from the 'The Bay Area' and how much they love Bend and wouldn't want to be anywhere else before telling you that the restaurants or shopping and pretty much everything else isn't as good as in the 'The Bay Area'. Most former residents of 'The Bay Area' would earn much more money there if they went back but have chosen not to, instead preferring to stay in Bend and tell everyone they meet that they are from 'The Bay Area' and how they would earn much more money if they ever did go back.
