"Dan Bends is more pure alt rock than this"

That's why I'm not into it. Thought it was just standard alt rock with a couple of songwriting standouts

I'd actually rather have this one than "pure alt rock" but as long as its good i can dig both no problem.

Album Rating: 5.0

It's more stadium rock than alt-rock

Album Rating: 5.0

Fair enough dan.

Sounds I think it has some of their strongest pure songwriting so I have to disagree there.

I remember Cold Case every time i hear high and dry lol.

Album Rating: 5.0

High and Dry may be the weakest song on the Bends tbh but it's a great tune nonetheless.

Album Rating: 5.0

When I was at college there was a student musical concert thing where some lad did an acoustic 'high and dry' it was actually better than the original. He's probabaly dead now or in insurance. Same difference.

Album Rating: 5.0

High and Dry is the song that launched a thousand soft cock 00s "rock" bands and it loses some credit because of that
