For me, it doesn't get any better than The Bends, it's a near perfect album IMO. Though a ton of that is tied to when I first heard it etc. Nostalgia. Actually, it does remind me quite a bit of that small studio apartment you had in A2. I have annoyed all their albums but that one for me is pure rock and I appreciate it for that. Super guitar driven, I love the lyrics etc.

You have a favorite?

No real favorite. It's all good really, except for a few flat tracks here and there. I do have a soft spot for the Kid A/Amnesiac era because I feel that that's when they really started to explore in the studio. Even Thom has said that during the early albums, they didn't really know how a studio worked or how to be effective with one. I think that OK Computer was the culmination of one type of sound and structure that they were perfecting for years. It's really cool to see that progression of their work. There aren't a lot of bands that I can think of whose albums display a consistent growth. The Beatles being the best example. What's with British bands?
