Yeah it’s more about spite-picking the bends not genuinely picking the bends in that scenario

"i'd probably take the Bends over Moonshit tbh, despite the Bends having all the absolute worst songs between the two"

i can accept that. some nostalgia jams like planet telex still hold up

did you guys see that moon shaped pool doesnt shorten to moon shaped poo on the front page anymore
wtf why not?

Lukewarm take: 'Sulk' is one of the best tracks on THE BENDS.

I didn't realise that so many people hate the new album on here.

'"maybe zak lmao"



thats a safe bet'



Live confirmation on the 'The Bends' thread. Predictably, yes.

As far as I'm concerned, I got into them on 'OK Computer', but that was after being mesmerised by 'Street Spirit'... quickly got 'The Bends' and adored it (at the time, more than anything post 1998). It got played out though, and I'm far less likely to revisit that album than their 2000s era. So do I prefer it now...? I don't know.

Real-time fanship affects how you feel about a band's output. I couldn't say what I'd prefer if I came across their back catalogue all at once.

If I came across their entire catalogue at once right now my opinions would be exactly the same lol

Yeah I’m definitely alright with The Bends over Moonpoop, in fact I encourage it

(btw my work here appears to be done).

moonpoop rules
haters get their feathers ruffled by the zero-effort alphabetic track list

Who would have thought that not putting any care or consideration into sequencing an album dynamically would make people like it less

You guys make it sound like Bends over Amnesiac is a hot take when that’s pretty clearly the dominant take. Obviously I’m just the normie here but like all things it’s simply a matter of individual taste

Normie consensus =/= good take

The average person its fucking stupid and has shit taste

"Normie consensus =/= good take"

Well of course, but my point was normie consensus = not a hot take

I don’t think a single person called it a hot-take. There was a lot of insinuation that it is a bad and dumb take but not a single person I see called it a hot take.

I mean tectac called it a “nearly incomprehensible” take lol

It is definitely not a hot-take, normies love The Bends

“ I mean tectac called it a “nearly incomprehensible” take lol”

It is. I can barely fathom how someone could be that useless and basic.
