They broke away from traditional rock songwriting against their record label’s wishes and instead, developed more complex foundations for their music, including more electronic experimentation. The Bends takes the rock sound they established in Pablo Honey and twists it using samples, obscure guitar tones, and unconventional song structures. After feeling like they were becoming an “extension of this Coca-Cola thing”, they dramatically shuffled up their sound for the first time with The Bends.
The band had been pinned as the “new Nirvana” after their debut album, Pablo Honey, and entered the rock charts with “Creep”. OK Computer is the first Radiohead album that truly shocked their fans.
