Without comparing it to the rest of their collection, The Bends is one of the greatest rock albums of the ‘90s. It’s almost the perfect rock album which is what they set out to achieve apparently.
After Creep exploded I remember them touring and they played this show at the Palace ‘94 (I wasn’t there unfortunately!) and had all these new songs pre Bends release, and were frustrated cos they knew these songs were awesome but the crowd obv just wanted to hear Pablo Honey.
Can’t remember where I heard all this but it stayed with me.
From a personal perspective I bought the Creep “cassingle” cos I loved the song so much. Not sure i still have it, no way to play it if I do, not sure cassette’s last that long anyway! Stupidly I didn’t buy the Bends as High and Dry didn’t grab me, but was lured back by OKC.
