While Radiohead saw its stock rising in 1994, it wasn't until 1995's The Bends that it really became a blue chip band. And for good reason. The quintet honed its talent for bombastic Brit Rock, yet still preserved an edge of unpredictability. Even singles like the title track didn't give in to the kind of swooning guitar cliches usually embraced by commercial radio. If the CD proved anything, it was that Radiohead could find solid ground between pop experimentation and the tradition of born-in-the-bone, balls-out rock. --Nick Heil

 Radiohead's best album October 30, 2008
One great song after another. This was the first album I heard for radiohead, so I went and bought all the other albums expecting them to be the same style as this one, I was disappointed.
All the other albums were a bit weird and no where near this one.
So I advise you if your new to this band make this album be the first.
Not Bent over the Bends October 24, 2008
I can't complain. It was exactly as listed: used but in good condition with all components of the CD.
 great album; poor pressing October 21, 2008
five-star album; fewer-star pressing.
this album is perhaps the best introduction to radiohead for the uninitiated, but what's the deal with capitol's reissue having label-placement issues? i purchased two copies of this LP and on both copies the label on side two is placed such that i have to be poised and ready to lift the needle after street spirit fades out so that it doesn't get sucked onto the paper label making an AWFUL noise and clearly damaging my needle. my new, reissued copy of Kid A has a similar problem (end of side 2 and 4 make awful noise, but don't get sucked all the way on to the paper label). what's the point of going through the trouble of reissuing such an incredible album without seeing the quality-control through to the very end? this item would have most definitely received a five-star rating were it not for this problem.
 For pretentious pseudo-intellectuals only August 24, 2008

Nobody really actually enjoys listening to Radiohead. They just pretend to so that they appear to be hip or intelligent. I guess if a bunch of random noise put together to appear "deep" is your thing you should buy this album. If you have any taste stay far away. Thom Yorke is also the AntiChrist.
5 stars and it deserves every star August 22, 2008

This album is the best Radiohead album I have heard. I definitely recommend it to those who are just getting into Radiohead. This is actually the first Radiohead album that I heard when my uncle played it on his CD player. At first I thought it was an ok CD but then it grew on me and I loved it. I bought it at Sam Goodie used and it was worth every penny. My most treasured album to this day. :) PLEASE BUY THIS USED or GET IT FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE ON AMAZON, IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE HERE. EMI IS CHARGING REDICULOUS PRICES FOR RADIOHEAD CDs. GREEDY CORPORATE BASTARDS.
