The Bends is the second studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, marking a pivotal evolution in their sound. Produced by John Leckie in London and engineered by Nigel Godrich—who would go on to produce all of Radiohead's future albums—the album represents a shift from the introspective grunge-influenced style of their debut, Pablo Honey, toward a more complex, multi-layered rock sound. Featuring cryptic lyrics, expanded use of keyboards, and a dynamic blend of abrasive and subtle guitar work, The Bends captures the band's artistic response to the pressures of extensive world touring. Culturally significant and critically acclaimed, it laid the foundation for Radiohead's reputation as innovators in alternative rock.
