Pros A quantum leap over their debut; still great
Cons As good as it is, the best was yet to come
Bottom Line The Bends is a modern masterpiece of guitar-rock-with-arty-edges. Essential, though Radiohead's best was yet to come.
 
Arguably Radiohead's most important album

Pros Yorke's brilliant voice, fantastic melodies, almost uniformally strong songs.
Cons "Sulk" is kind of weak; pales in comparison to OK Computer or Kid A .
Bottom Line Massively influential and excellent in just about every concievable way. It would've been the peak of anybody else's career, but the best was still yet to come for Radiohead.

Pros The leap in songwriting and sonic detail from Pablo Honey is stunning.
Cons Almost half the album affects me far less profoundly than it does my friends.
Bottom Line They did it to themselves, and that's what's really awesome. Not many bands have gone from potential one hit wonder status to material this stellar in one album's time.

Pros Life-changing and defiant anthemic rock, played with an intense fire and passion
Cons No... it's Radiohead
Bottom Line The first masterpiece in their almost flawless canon. It will upset, transform and captivate you.
