Sulk is nothing special, but I will defend Bones with my dying breath

I have this album cover on my wall in my room, and I always thought it was just really desolate, creepy, and void of life, and then my mom walks in and says it looks like he's pleasuring himself..



Needless to say, the picture never came down. hahaha

I'm pretty sure it's like a hospital dummy you would practice CPR with.

I recently learned there's a 2-disc version of this album, but unfortunately it's no longer in print and it's not all that available/cheap used.

€15,- not too bad! (I see the price rises steeply though, yes.)





SO MANY amazing b-sides in The Bends era. Oh man. Seriously. Disk two of that comp is well worth the Euros/Rupees/Coins/Simoleons.

Johnny's dislike of Black Star is legendary

Sulk and Black Star are still excellent songs tbh, they just suffer in comparison to the other excellence here.

Just is one of the best here



Bends does the rockers better than the slow songs tbh

Bones sucks too, but Just is easily one of the stronger pieces of writing here?!

"Fake Plastic Trees, Bullet Proof, and Street Spirit would like a word."



Bullet Proof is as about boring as Radiohead gets (bottom 3 with High and Dry and Blackstar,)



Fake Plastic Trees is EXACTLY what I'm talking about when I say The Bends is middle of the road Alt-rock, like, sure it's fine, but have I ever loved it? nah



and Street Spirit is cool enough, maybe 5th best song on here? It's kinda like proto-OK Computer, but a lot of OK Computer did it better

Just, t/t and Telex (if you count that) are the only good rockers here, slow songs are defs where it's at
