Released in 1995, 'The Bends' is Radiohead's second studio album and is often regarded as one of the defining albums of the 1990s. The album features a blend of alternative rock with more complex arrangements and introspective lyrics, showcasing the band's evolution from their debut. With tracks like 'High and Dry,' 'Fake Plastic Trees,' and 'Street Spirit (Fade Out),' 'The Bends' helped solidify Radiohead's reputation as one of the most innovative and influential bands of their time. The album's sound marked a departure from the grunge movement, introducing a more atmospheric and melancholic tone that would characterize much of their later work.
