The Bends Vs Ok Computer

[maccavennie]

The Bends.

OK Computer was excellent at pushing their ideas and sounds fantastic but the mix and sound on the bends album where all 3 guitars are playing some absolutely suoerb stuff makes it a magical album still. OK is a more mature album but the Bends for me has a massive set of balls and really confirmed what a great band they were.

By a country mile btw.

Kid A is the best album I've ever listened to with headphones on in the dark and being absolutely stoned.

This thread seems to have sparked a musical explosion in the ale house!

Fans of In Rainbows could do worse than to check out Levitation's "Meanwhile Gardens". It's not on youtube, but there's an EP of stuff recorded around the same time here

Heartily recommend the Flaming Lips The Soft Bulletin for such antics Too!

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Depends on the mood...so it's a tie, for me. Both are solid albums, front to back, for different reasons.

Planet Telex
High and Dry
Bullet Proof...

Airbag
Let Down
Subterranean Homesick Alien

Yup, still a draw in my book...as Dr. Gonzo said:
