"My Iron Lung" is another one of my favorite songs. It has that instantly recognisable opening which runs again through the choruses that just twists and snakes its way around the lyrics. The way those lyrics are arranged is also very catchy and the song breaks out into a really heavy rocker near the second minute.
Personally, The Bends was my introduction to the band in the mid -00's... and I'm glad it was. Maybe about 10 years too late, but hey - it's never too late right?
After the success of their debut album "Pablo Honey," Radiohead returned in 1995 with the highly-anticipated "The Bends." It's brilliant, complex, mature, controlled but so fluid. Stylistically, it's become one of my favorite albums. There's something so powerful and intense about the stripped down, simple and raw style of this album. Not a whole lot of layers or effects. Overall, just great composition and candid, graceful delivery from each instrument and track. Of course, Thom's vocals are incredible as well. But that goes without saying.
