If you never have, I'd recommend watching the music video for Just.
Not as a reaction video. Just for yourself.
It was how I discovered Radiohead back in 95 and is still my favourite ever video of theirs.

More Radiohead please.......also listen to A perfect Circle and Tool it's progressive eargasm.
pls play dmc 5, you won't regret
So Bloodborne? instant sub
The Bends may sound like a standard rock album from the 90s, but it’s always feels like a ‘home’ for us radiohead fans whenever we feel tired of listening so much music. it has its own place in our heart.
Very well said, friend
Taufiq Hidayat speak for yourself man. Love Radiohead but the bends, while being a great 90’s rock album and a good foreshadow of what will makes Radiohead amazing in the future is still a little dated and simple at times. 7 or 8 out of 10 for me
Yes. This is my album that I go to when I just want to chill and not focus to much on what's going on. Just simply beautiful.
Sidekick 821 Judging and comparing with following Radiohead discographies , yes, it is indeed a simple album and that simplicity is what makes us love this album.
Taufiq Hidayat can’t really generalize for an entire fan base of millions. I love Radiohead to pieces and listen to a lot of music but the bends isn’t much to me. Peaked with Street Spirit tbh
Listening to The Bends: "What the heck? 3 chord song?" And I'm sitting over here like: "Wait for Just man...33 chord song" lol
Same lmfao
Lol I was thinking the same thing.
Fun fact : 'Just' started by jonny and Thom trying to fit as many chords as possible into one song, the band liked it so much they put it in The Bends!
@@jacvic0790 You know, i checked the song "Shake me down" by CageTheElephant
And i thought it would be like Just with too manh chords, but... They repeat it
But if You don't think about it, looks like too many diferent chords
"It's like they're using a simpler language to communicate the same complex emotions"
Perfect description
Absolutely
Yes. I have often referred to this phenomenon to my nephew as... happy/sad memories.
It's the feeling of wistful longing you have for a happy moment you can't have back. Or a moment you know could have been special if you only had the courage to take a chance.
So emblematic.
I’m just glad someone else loves Nice Dream. That’s like one of my favorites and everyone seems to sleep on it like a Bad Dream.
Na. Nice dream is a fantastic song. Don't doubt yourself!
A true masterpiece
nice dream is one of my favourite songs, by anyone. always a go to song when in a certain mood. love it.
First Radiohead song I heard (i didnt know creep was theirs). I first heard it when they used it for How I Met Your Mother. Been a radiohead fan since then.
I love nice dream. Reminds me of porcupine tree!
1:40 Planet Telex..
4:30 The Bends...
7:35 High And Dry...
9:02 Fake Plastic Trees...
11:51 Bones...
14:11 (Nice Dream)...
The Bends is definitely the most accessible of their albums.
knightarnaud and i love it 🤩
And the best in my opinion
I think not, maybe In Rainbows; first time I listened The Bends I got deeply depressed, it became a freaking challenge to listen it again without crying.
@@josecienega6427 I think that "In Rainbows" it's a way more accesible for "cassual radio listeners" but, The Bends becomes easier to listen for people who ocassionaly listen Coldplay and some others groups Idw its just a think
@@cristianjimenezsantos2944 Also for Muse's fans
Radiohead is my all time favourite band and I love watching your reactions, I think you pay attention to really important production choices that not everybody hears!
By the way, why did you guys vote for The Bends over Amnesiac, wouldn’t you like to see a first reaction to Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors? :D
The Bends is not about complexity is more a music celebration with a dark emotional impact, simple but one of the best albums of all time.
Saludos desde 🇲🇽
Man pulk pull is a masterpiece i love it
I think a lot of people tried to vote for the one they thought he'd like more
The sheer comedy of him going directly from AMSP to The Bends is too good to not vote for
Amnesiac is my 2nd favourite RH album but I voted The Bends because I knew he would enjoy this album more than the type music on Amnesiac because he's not that much into that type of music right now even though he would appreciate it like he did Kid A. I'm sure he'll do Amnesiac next for sure. It has some of the most beautiful stuff RH have done!
Tracks from this album that the band still plays live on a semi-regular basis:
- The Bends
- Fake Plastic Trees
- My Iron Lung
- Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Songs I'd like to see them play live more often:
- Planet Telex
- (Nice Dream)
- Just
ExileOnDaytonStreet I think they still play Just pretty regularly
@@rhys2275 According to setlist.fm, they haven't played it since 2009. www.setlist.fm/stats/radiohead-bd6bd12.html
I believe Telex was brought back a bit a tour or two ago.
PLANET TELEX IS GOD
same goes with (Nice Dream)
Perfect! just waiting for:
Just
My Iron Lung
Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was, and
Street spirit
YOU DO IT TO YOUR SELF! YOU DO!
Fade out
Maurcio Muñoz the chorus to bulletproof is one of the most emotional things I’ve ever listened to honestly. It’s beautiful
@@willgoodwin-moore947 I absolutely love Bullet Proof, it's such a beautiful powerful emotional song.
AGAAAAIIIIIIIN ...Fade out.
"Previously, the speaker talks about someone who loves him unconditionally. He then follows this up by saying “Nice dream”. It’s not real. This love is a fantasy Thom has conjured in his own mind, and he knows it."
So yeah, you were spot on about Nice Dream 👌👌
I love how destroying the lyrics are. You think of something so beautiful and desired, and then crush it by passing it off as a "nice dream".
The Bends holds a VERY special place in my heart. It's barely even my kind of music, it's just so familiar and comfortable to me. Like eating a simple, yet perfectly spiced dish that your mother cooked for you as a child. Not something I would eat everyday, that's for sure, but every now and again I get this very specific itch to listen to this album (along with Pablo Honey, of course).
Same.
Very good description.
Fake Plastic Trees got me into Radiohead. Absolutely love that song
You talked about the 3 chords songs and so I couldn't stop thinking about JUST on the second half of the album where Thom and Jonny challenged themselves to write the song with the most chords possible ^^
Also, I always thought the Street Spirit Fade Out that closes the album was more forshadowing the next work of Radiohead you'll it sounds quite different from the rest of The Bends :)
I counted 38 chords on Just
Ikr lmfao just is my fav
The Bends (getting sick as a result of rising too fast) is a thematic metaphor (or mostly British humour) for Radiohead's early success with Creep. After Pablo Honey they really wanted to prove they were more than just a one-hit-wonder and strove to create a markedly complete work where a higher standard ran throughout the entire CD. (plus, in those days, if your second album wasn't any good your label would drop you and your career was basically over)
A few interesting things happened on/with The Bends: 1. Stanley Donwood (Dan Rickwood), a friend of Thom's from art school, was asked to provide the packaging designs. He and Thom (Thom's artistic pseudonym is Tchock, Dr. Tchock, or together they're called The White Chocolate Farm) have created all the artwork together ever since. (The special edition Amnesiac booklet actually won a Grammy).
2. Radiohead recorded one song with a young producer called Nigel Godrich, and he's been their George Martin ever since. (He was also part of Thom's side band called Atoms for Peace)
3. They started their website, which didn't amount to much at the time but later iterations contained lyrical ramblings and lots of insight into their thought/creative process.
4. They developed more of the underground/cult following that they preferred. The mainstream still knew them for Creep, but The Bends really started building the foundation of a secure fan base. (of course, with OK Computer they basically just blew up everywhere)
5. There were strong videos released for this album. High and Dry had two videos made, one for the US market and one for the UK. The US version doesn't really capture the feeling of the song but it's a pretty cool Tarantino-esque short film nonetheless. No one knows what the man at the end of the Just video says. Street Spirit is greyscale and impactful and the Fake Plastic Trees video really does the trick.
6. At this point they didn't have much time in studio, because they were still (mostly) controlled by their label, but they did manage to record enough songs to create a few interesting B-Sides. It's always fun to see what does or doesn't make it on the album.
Yeah, so this was definitely a more innocent time for Radiohead, however a few important things happened that set the stage and gave them the confidence to realize their full creative potential in the future.
"Simpler language to communicate the same complex emotions" - that's a nice description of what's great about 90s alternative rock.
I honestly can't understand how people underrate this album so much, it's one of my favourites in the whole Radiohead discography, every song on this is really good, it's a really important album for the group in terms of music. Can't wait for the next part, you shouldn't underestimate the track Black Star, one of the most underrated songs from every Radiohead album.
People are stupid in considering their experimental stuff as superior and etc. But c'mon! The Bends has some really masterpieces! Fake Plastic Trees, Nice Dream, Just, My Iron Lungs, Bullet Proof, Black Star and Street Spirit / Fade Out.
The King Of Limbs From The Basement please!!!
Edit: Also, Bones sounds straight out of Showbiz
ACM1PT512 yes!! Def sounds like it fits perfectly in that record
I mean showbiz is a really radiohead influenced album
bones chorus has the same riff as sober chorus
@@Neorigg I was gonna say that!
@@Neorigg other way round
I've loved Radiohead since the 90s. It's great to listen to someone with musical intelligence discovering their work. It helps make it new for me again too. Street Spirit was my favorite song to howl at the moon.
Street Spirit (Fade Out) is almost as beautiful as How to disappear completely! You gonna love it!
The Bends: *exists*
Nightwalk: oooh that's so 90s
Well, it is.
Please listen to In Rainbows Disk 2, it's great and I think you will love it, nice vids btw
In rainbows Disk 2 is really good. But Also I would like he will reaction to ok not ok.
For sure. But he has to listen to the other main albums first!
Also: listen to what you want.
It's amazing
Ok computers EP's
Oh my god, Just and My Iron Lung opening the second video is gonna be frickin amazing!
The only good thing that horrible "Best of Radiohead" compilation album made by EMI did was using Just as it's opening track, it felt somewhat inspired to begin with that song instead of just putting up the singles in the order they were released and call it a day.
My iron lungs is my least favourite song on the bends,the mixing on that song is trash,and not that great
You were correct about The Bends being an amazing live song. They still play it sometimes, often to close out the set.
All I'm gonna say is, the second you start part 2 of your reaction, it'll be like slamming into a brick wall ❤
street spirit is another fantastic song on this album you should look forward to
Fake Plastic Trees was probably the most famous song from this album. Certainly got a ton of play on MTV back in the heyday of MTV. I totally agree with you on your observations. It is still really radiohead but just like you noticed the level of complexity is taken down a notch. Now that you are really pretty well exposed it is very interesting to listen to the albums in order to see the evolution and the elements that stay constant and things that change. One major difference that I see with the bends is the lyrics are a bit more narrative and earnest in their "emotion" . I think as the albums go along they get better and better in expressing the emotion of the song through the musicality and instrumentation rather than the lyrics.
Nice Dream is fantastic with every member of the band having their part really fleshed out and integrated with the other parts which is more like the best of the later work. I think you are right it is the clearest harbinger of how they approach things later on. Of all their other songs though I feel like it is so much like There There. Very similar in its structure and its tone, strong guitar work at the end, a kind of thickness to the sound although also gentle and a bit lulling. What do you think?
High and dry was the single
@@joes7930 There are multiple singles on the album
The bends is widely believed to be a metaphor for the shock to the system from their sudden rise to fame. Additionally My Iron Lung is thought to make reference to Creep and how they can't get away from it due to its popularity.
I would really really really really love a reaction or review of Grace by Jeff Buckley which is cited as a major influence of both Thom Yorke and Matt Bellamy. Yorke allegedly wrote Fake Plastic Trees after seeing him in concert.
Early on The Pixies were Radiohead’s biggest influence. It’s all over this record.
You should react to In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel if you haven’t heard it already.
I enjoy the reactions keep up the good work!
Agreed
When I was getting into Radiohead few years ago The Bends was my favourite album. It’s both simple and creative. Love it to date!
Oh, and from The Bends, the most successful and popular song was Fake Plastic Trees for sure! Radiohead still playing this one in now days, it's such a classic for the Band (Like how Showbizz is for Muse)
Great reaction once again! The bends is definitely their most fun and accessible album - it’s not creatively Radioheadesque, but it’s a fantastic album. Looking forward to part 2 and hopefully Amnesiac afterwards!
9:30 That organ has always been a good touch, I felt.
You gotta listen to the bonus track TALK SHOW HOST
He should do the B-sides at some point. Someone should make a playlist of 20 or so songs.
@@_CoasterNinja I want that the bends playlist too
With whole b sides from there
This is one of the brighter sounding of the Radiohead albums. But God damnit, I've got a ball of tears in my chest listening to Nice Dream, Planet Telex, and Fake Plastic trees. 😭
Still waiting on Turn On The Bright Lights by Interpol, one of the best alternative/post punk albums ever.
If I ever have to listen to PDA ever again I will actually deafen myself, had to delete the album from my phone just because of that one song.
@@UncannyXander What?
@@UncannyXander Yikes
@@UncannyXander whyyyyyy it's one of their best EVER wtf
He should definitely do a reaction to that, that is one of the most amazing albums of this century.
"its almost like they are using a simpler language to communicate the same complex emotions" i couldnt ever think in a better way to describe the bends. The sentence was fantastic.
Street Spirit is probably my favourite Radiohead song, if I would have to choose.
Even if u have to choose beetwen JUST, FAKE PLASTIC TREES AND FADE OUT?
Same with mine. It's such an amazing song.
Shocks me how many people overlook this album in their discography. The trifecta of ground breakers like Street Spirit, Plant Telex, and Fake Plastic Trees... but also the hidden masterpieces like Nice Dream, Bullet Proof, and Bones(Best song on the album imo). This album fitted perfectly with the times when it was released in 95.. and next to Ok Computer, I believe this is their most consistent and accessible album to date. It’s the “Ol’ Reliable”of Radiohead albums.
very well said!
I just can't get into the super-90s sound to it. I can recognize great writing, but a bunch of it is wasted on dated arrangements. I really wonder what the Bends would sound like if the band decided to produce those songs in the 21st century.
@@k-leb4671 agreed, many of the songs sound nice but feels very dated, lyrics are still great
Planet Telex is very different from the rest of the album, yet still the perfect way to open it. That’s why it’s awesome.
This was the first Radiohead album I bought in the mid-90s. Loved the band ever since. The Bends is still my favourite Radiohead album.
Man, i love your reactions soooo much. Just wanted to tell you that. It's like listening to Radiohead for the very first time (even though I've listened to their albums hundreds and hundreds of time) and that's basically the best gift that someone could give me lol Sometimes I wish I could erase all of their music from my head so I can enjoy them with the glow of newness that makes everything more special
You should check out the b-side Talk Show Host from this era of Radiohead. Its a longtime fan favorite and I think you might get a kick out of it. Anyways looking forward to the rest of your reactions, particularly Just.
Maquilladora is awesome as well
I think your comments during and after Fake Plastic Trees are genius talk about hitting the nail on the head that is why I watch these reaction videos to get some insight that I either missed or could not articulate myself great job.
Thank you so much for the kind comment!
You deserve it but i'm still a little pissed at you for not doing the KOL from the basement yet you are going to have a blast peeling back the insane amount of layers they laid down just the percussion alone is master level never mind the other instruments I really am looking forward to it I hope you compare it to In Rainbows from the Basement it is fun to do.@@NightwalkReal
Oh boi, the second half of this album is one of the greatest things I've ever listened to. I think I know you enough to know that your favorites are going to be Just and Bulletproof... I wish I was
@@UncannyXander I know how you feel. Just is a complete masterpiece
Thx for all the reaction videos,i really enjoyed them. I hope that your videos doesn't get blocked and you get the monetization you deserved. Love from IND
Erick Gultom thanks so much :)
Spot on! Nice Dream is a song about a dream Thom had. And it does sound give Ok Computer vibes pre Ok Computer. The title track was a song that they played during their tour for their debut album so it does have those Nirvana/Pixies vibe with some of Radiohead's own intricacies.
Yes, finally! This is one of my favorite Radiohead albums. I hope you enjoy it!
PS, I love your reactions! Keep up the great work.
so you're the reason he chose the bends over amnesiac!! :(
I feel like The Bends is my favourite nostalgic Radiohead album as pretty much most of the songs of the album give me so much nostalgia for my childhood and growing up. Also, I’d love to hear you react to “The Fragile” by Nine Inch Nails if you can, it’s a bit of a long album but it is definitely well worth the listen with some songs just being a religious experience from how complex and deep they get.
I'd like to see him react to Pretty Hate Machine, he gives very technical reactions so it would be nice to see how he picks apart Trent's earliest work.
Random fact Dom actually said that the members of the band were listening a lot to this disc when it came out
I actually read that on Muse.Wiki
And you can clearly hear it on Showbiz
@@lilwaterpump3289 do you ever hear Muse 1997 demo?.
Fadli Prabowo I don’t think so
Your improvised melodies actually worked really well with some of these tracks. That's quite the compliment considering I've been listening to this album constantly for the better part of 20 years now, and know each track like the back of my hand, lol.
The Bends is the album you can’t help but sing along to.
Love your Radiohead reactions man! Been watching all of them lately
You should try reacting to a Blur album! Preferably 13 or their self titled :). Also good vid
Yesss. 13 would be good to react to. I'd personally recommend MLIR, but it's a grower.
Self titled is their best !
On your own xD
Hooligan Gorilla!
it would be cool if he reacted to every one of the albums like he's doing with Radiohead. Blur has such a diverse discography, it could be a lot fun!
Street Spirits is gonna mess you up! One of their best/saddest songs
Yeah I'm waiting hard for this! Fade Out is so powerful...
why is it always 2am when i see you upload
I mean his channel’s name is Nightwalk...
Because of timezones
He literally looks like the guy in the bend's album art. Plus reaction after listening to this.
I'm surprised you don't know High and Dry. That song still gets played on the radio.
Yeah exactly! I was waiting for him to be like "oooh yeah I've heard this before in a Chipotle somewhere," or something lol.
@@EzeICE yeh yeh yeh cock and ball torture
I love how he started dancing when Thom sings "we don't have any real friends"
I wish I could listen to The Bends for the first time again. It blew my mind in 1998 (I was a little late). It's a pleasure to watch someone else experience that.
The Bends has a special place in diehard fans hearts! 🖤
Watching you react to Fake Plastic Trees was awesome. I think that was the face of a lot of kids in the 90s when they first heard it.
Hey, great reaction man. Also I really like the idea of you having a second channel for gaming. Hope you do a lets play or maybe a first impression reaction (kinda like this reaction).
03:30 I had exactly the same "oh!!!" when I heard this song for the first time. The bends is my definite number 1 album of the all time. Helped me in a lot of tough situations in life. I was at three RH gigs in my life, my fav song is Trees. And they didn't play it at first two concerts. But right at the end of my last (for now) gig in Stockholm Thom went out and start to play this A chord. It was magnificent.
I seem to remember you saying somewhere in one of your vids that RH makes great closing tracks...just wait till you get to Street Spirit...
these videos always make my day so much better whenever you post them, thank you so much! you make reactions in a way no one else do, great job
I'm amazed, surprised and very happy you never heard high and dry or Fake plastic trees before
You hit the meaning of (Nice Dream) perfectly
Someone once said that the first and last tracks of the first few Radiohead albums kind of served as teasers for the general sound of their next album. I think this is pretty true for maybe the first 4 albums. Pablo Honey had "You" and "Blow Out," which sound a lot like The Bends. The Bends had "Planet Telex" and "Street Spirit", which wouldn't sound out of place on OK Computer. Lastly, OK Computer had Airbag and The Tourist, which approached Kid A territory. I think the pattern kind of fell apart for Amnesiac, considering that the album's tracks were taken from the same long sessions in which Kid A was made. I'm kind of rambling at this point, but I thought some people might find it neat.
I've heard that too and it seems to be true.
Starts crying uncontrollably during fake plastic trees*
The bends and their best, Pablo Honey are my all time favourite Radiohead. But hey that was in my time. Guitar is pure, lyrics are relatable, voice amazing. Just pure 90's !
I'm so glad I can watch this before it gets deleted :) I really love that album! Nice Dream is the best song ever! Glad you also love it! THANKS!
The guitar part on nice dream probs remind you of subterranean homesick alien.
Its their 2nd album! So they've grown and changed😊
I really hope you can listen to each element of the songs with those studio monitors
Still impatiently waiting for Amnesiac
Gotta be the next RH album for sure!
we must to tell him to turn off the lights when he reacts to "amnesiac"😁😁😁
Last year I went to see Radiohead here in Chile and they fucking played The Bends!! In fact, is a great song live and for me it was one of the best surprises of the night, aside from Airbag, Where I end and you begin & Fake plastic trees, well it was awesome, love you babe
I look forward to see you reacting STREET SPIRIT
I think you were spot on with (Nice Dream) - I think the brackets in the title suggest that!
You will be blown away by Street Spirit!!... I hope. The chord progression and really just everything about that song is so spiritual yet dark.
So crazy that i watched you react to now almost all Radiohead albums (wich is my fav band btw) i love that at this point you already got their sound and now get to see where they came from
This is one of the Radiohead albums I find myself not listening to that much any more but watching this reminded me how much I used to love it. Planet Telex, Fake Plastic Trees, Just and Street Spirit are some of their all time best songs. Takes me back to the old days.
QUEBEC BY WEEN PLEASE
best radiohead album for me, i love nice dream :)
Thank you for your Radiohead reactions, love your input and analysis.
i remenber my girlfriend in 1999 saying " it's the only album i've ever listened to that i can say i love every songs "
Can’t wait part 2 cause the songs to come are awesome.
God, I love your reactions. The Bends isn't a fun rock album 😂 you'll see in the the second part. "Nice Dream" is exactly your description!
I would love to see you react to PJ Harvey. Another 90's rock legend, who evolve in the later years with beautiful and ambitious music, same as Radiohead.
This is almost 2 years late but, HELL YEAH BLOODBORNE!
Planet Telex was my driving song. I’d play it super loud and even though my boyfriend at the time was a huge Radiohead fan he always wanted me to turn it down.
Awesome album, awesome reaction to it. Definitely did justice.
Damn, that melody you came up with on (Nice Dream) was on point👌🏼
I enjoy your videos so much. I can wait for part 2!
12:10 When playing "Bones" live, Jonny would get down on his knees and manually slow his tremolo pedal down. I spent years looking for a tremolo pedal where slowing down the rate was a feature.
That album cover is everyones face when their listening to this album😂😂
Street Spirit, Bulletproof and Nice Dream are my personal faves from this album. although its all good.
You should totally give Porcupine Tree a listen though!! pls pls pls
This record is my all time favorite album, just made me happy to see someone listening this for the first time. :')
I liked how you mentioned (Nice Dream) being the blueprint for OK Computer, it really has many of the elements from that album. The choppy drum sound in Planet Telex is another very OK Computer-like thing for me. I'd say that My Iron Lung and Street Spirit that you will be hearing on the second half are the other "blueprints" here. Great reaction as always, and your harmonizing along in the last song was actually really funny but appropiate.
You’re hearing this knowing what you know in 2019. Imagine hearing it for the first time in 1995.
It took me some repeated listenings to get used to this "simple" Radiohead album after their more sofisticated later stuff. But now I love it! Great songs, cool melodies, very positive.
