Moon Safari earned massive critical plaudits and put the duo at the forefront of modern

bassist tom araya appropriately growled and barked out all manner of dark lyrics

and it's certainly the case that the original release is more a triumph of writing and performance than it is of sonic excellence

but only to the extent that it had zero impact on the audio (after all

Radiohead - "The Bends" label_ARTium Recordings Moon Safari earned massive criticalThe Bends is the second studio album by Radiohead. In 1995, two years after an incredible debut in Pablo Honey, Radiohead were under tremendous pressure to deliver. Much to the delight of critics and fans the world over, they did more than deliver they far exceeded expectations. Building from the sweeping, three guitar attack that punctuated the best movements of Pablo Honey, The Bends is grand and forceful; it resonates with anguish and despair.
