"Best Band Ever"

This is the first CD of the best band in the entire universe. Buy it. Buy them all and ascend to the highest level of existence.

"Awesome Rockers"
I've never been much into head bangin' music. But, I heard their song "Creep" on the tv show Rockstar Supernova, and was floored. I bought the CD and love to crank it up. They are real trendsetters in the music business. Rock on!!!

"This could be anybody"
(Actually **1/2, but Amazon doesn't allow half stars.)

Pablo Honey isn't actually a bad album per se. It's just that, in comparison to the rest of their discography, it has two major problems. First, this is the only Radiohead album that could have been recorded by any competent band of their time, place and genre. Apart from the memorable single "Creep," there's nothing unique or special here, which is why "Creep" is the only thing most people know from this album. They're not wrong. Second, only about half the songs are any good. "How Do You?" "I Can't," "Lurgee," and especially the lovely "Stop Whispering" are nice enough, kinda pretty mid-tempo pop rock songs with decent melodies. There's "Creep." And "Anyone Can Play Guitar" is a damn fine, catchy number where you get to hear Thom Yorke yell that he wants to be Jim Morrison (!), which is so funny it makes the whole album worth hearing at least once. But then the rest of it is boring and/or annoying. If Radiohead would have kept writing songs like this they would have been a one-hit wonder and an early-'90s trivia question, but fortunately they got a whole lot better real soon.

Song by song:

1 You **
2 Creep ***
3 How Do You? ***
4 Stop Whispering ***
5 Thinking About You **
6 Anyone Can Play Guitar ***
7 Ripcord **
8 Vegetable *
9 Prove Yourself **
10 I Can't ***
11 Lurgee ***
12 Blow Out ***
13 Creep [Clean] **

"(3.5 stars) Not half-bad"
First off, this review is based off the original, US/UK release. I haven't heard the bonus tracks, though I'd love to, but I want to rewrite my review and this is the first edition other than the regular one I saw. So... yeah.
Anyway, for the longest time I didn't like this very much. but I listened to it again recently, and something really clicked. It's not like it's a mind-blowing release like OK Computer or Kid A, but it is a pretty good album. Very solid, well-crafted alternative rock. Derivative? Oh, sure. Thom Yorke sounds exactly like Bono circa Boy, and most of it is nothing Nirvana or R.E.M. hadn't done better. Despite all that, it's just a flat-out good album with four exceptional songs.
"Creep" is, of course, one of them. I think it's still Radiohead's highest-charting hit, and while it sort of has a stigma attached to it among "hip" Radiohead fans, I think it's a solid self-loathing rock song with an innate sense of dynamics. Rather lame chorus aside, "Anyone Can Play Guitar" is more or less as good, a bass-heavy, anti-establishment rocker with searing guitars and sneering vocals. "Stop Whispering" jangles like R.E.M. and has a great soaring chorus hook to make up for the lack of activity in the verses. And "Blow Out" is a spare, jazzy closer that gives way to nihilistic rock - a bit of individualism even during this early period.
The rest? Well, it's just good, that's all. The best of what's left is probably either "Ripcord" or "Vegetable", for no other reason that both songs groove along nicely and are guaranteed to leave you tapping your mouse. I get them mixed up, because they're quite similar, but I believe that "Ripcord" has an acoustic based track with occasional electric guitars blasting over it. I like it when bands do that. "You", "Prove Yourself" and "I Can't" are pretty catchy, and "Thinking About You" is a nice folksy diversion. Really, "Lurgee" and "How Do You?" are the two weakest songs on the album, but neither are bad. "Lurgee" is inoffensive, and "How Do You?" has a cool three-guitar buildup and an even cooler freaky guitar ending.
So it's good and solid. Not their best, but nobody said it had to be.


"Not an Indie Rock fan... but a good CD.."
I'm not a big radiohead fan, or a big Indie Rock fan, but I bought the CD because I like the tune "Creep". However, Anyone can Play Guitar is pretty good, too, and I find myself listening to the whole album, even though it's not the kind of stuff I would normally listen to.

Good CD.. give it a try!

"Very VERY humble beginnings", Another title to this review could've been 'Whoa! Whoa... Really not good. -at all'.

Let me first state that Radiohead is one of my favorite bands. I would give The Bends and OK Computer both five stars and the rest after them between three and four stars but this album is not really the Radiohead that I, and most everybody else, have come to know and love.

Another reviewer said it best in his title to his review, "Doesn't really foreshadow the future greatness of the band". And yet another reviewer said that "this could be anybody". I couldn't agree more with both of those reviewer's statements. Aside from track two (Creep) this album is nothing special and in my opinion is only worth having to complete a Radiohead collection.

"90s pop rock, as good as it is going to get", While I know most people buy this album for the track "Creep" there are other good tracks as well. It took me a while to like these tracks (like at least 4 or 5 listens) after that it stuck with me. There are some very catchy pop tunes on here. "Stop Whispering," "You," "How Do You?," and "Vegetable" are some of the most memorable tracks. It is worth buying this especially if you are a fan of 90s pop/rock.

"Doesn't really foreshadow the future greatness of the band...", Today, I made an amusing discovery in the bottom of one of my desk drawers - the cassette tape single from when this album first came out of "Creep." I was 12 years old at the time, and like many people who went through adolescence in the early nineties, I had just really started to get heavily into music thanks to Nirvana. I loved "Creep" when I first heard it, so I picked up this single, and if you've never heard it, the B-Side of "Creep" is a song called "Faithless, the Wonder Boy," and it truly is outstanding (unfortunate that it wasn't put on Pablo Honey). So, I bought this album (back in the day), and while I still loved the two songs on the "Creep" single, the majority of Pablo Honey didn't do much for me.

I was thinking that Radiohead was just another "Nirvana clone," (as a LOT of people were), so it took me until O.K. Computer came out to give them another chance. Of course, I've been a huge fan of pretty much everything they've released since that point (and even before it - "The Bends" is probably my FAVORITE Radiohead album).

But, enough rambling, it's been many years since I listened to Pablo Honey as a whole album, and my musical tastes have evolved quite a bit from when it first came out, so I was kind of expecting that these past 15 years would help me appreciate it more.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. While I pretentiously dismissing the album for pathetic reasons (as I had back in the day), the music it contained still just didn't resonate with me (for the most part - "Stop Whispering," and "You" are pretty sweet songs). In particular, I couldn't help thinking "why am I listening to this, when I could be listening to "The Bends," or "OK Computer?" The album is extremely straightforward, and really doesn't hint much at the direction this band was going to take.

Oh well, I'm sure glad they DID got that direction. Pablo Honey may still not be my favorite album, but Radiohead is definitely still one of my favorite bands.

"3 out of 5 Stars", For all intents and purposes, The Bends was Radiohead's true debut. Indeed, many Radiohead fans pass over this album as if it never existed. However, listening to the album, one immediately hears a promising collection of tunes, that, while not as fleshed out as those on follow-up The Bends, makes clear the direction the band would eventually settle in. "Blow Out", ending on a long instrumental break of distorted guitars, and "You", the album's opening salvo (not to mention its odd time signature), signal the band's experimentation on future endeavors. And while the band seemingly has difficulty writing compelling material, there are highlights scattered throughout, whether it be the U2-esque buildup of "Stop Whispering", the lilting "Lurgee" or the Jim Morrison-mocking "Anyone Can Play Guitar". The true highlight, however, comes in the form of the self-loathing monster hit "Creep", which is still a radio staple today. Best bit: Lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood's two notes of distortion before the chorus (which, ironically enough, was done to try to "ruin" what he considered a poor song).

"Great look back!", An album I seemed to have overlooked, Pablo Honey is a great look back at the roots of Radiohead. Everyone remembers "Creep", but the album reveals a more primal grunge-alt-rock side of this musically mature band.

"Radiohead CD", The music is great. Creep is a phenomenal song with a great hook. It didn't take long to get the CD. Great service

"Great Debut by the then angsty Radiohead", Radiohead's debut "Pablo Honey" may seem a bit rough around the edges after your first listen to it. It's not as smooth or as southing as their later albums. But if you take the album as it is, it is truly a masterpiece. From the angsty, beautiful "You" to the inspiring, experimental finale "Blow Out", the album never lets up. In the midst of a self esteem crisis, Thom Yorke crafted together many songs about how we all feel at least once in our lives, unsure and hating who we are. Every song has something special in store.

From "Pablo Honey", Radiohead started evolving into the experimental band they are today that hates the music industry. Thanks to this album's offering, "Creep" and it's commercial success, the band may not be where they are today. This album changed the course of Radiohead's career.

Highlights:
1)"You"-A beautiful song about a guy who is obsessed with a girl and he believes she is the "sun and moon and stars". Has guitar work that resembles later albums. It is epic when Thom Yorke holds a note throughout the entire bridge.
2)"Creep"-This is the song that is the reason why Radiohead is what they are today. A song that tells a sad story about a guy who deeply loves a girl and thinks she is the greatest thing on earth, but doesn't have enough self confidence to tell her how he feels. When he does though, she runs away. A very very depressing song that any guy can relate to at some point of your life. The bridge is one of the most emotional moments in Radiohead's career as Thom Yorke bursts out "She's running out again" in a beautiful falsetto. An absolutely amazing piece of music that's very special to me and many other angsty teens.
5)"Thinking About You"-This is hands down the most beautiful, heartfelt ballad Radiohead has ever written. It is about a guy who lost a girl to fame. He still loves her but she doesn't care anymore about him because she's onto bigger better things. Another very emotional offering that is essential to any Radiohead fans and music fans alike.
10)"I Can't"-Another sad song about someone feeling like they are incapable of doing anything. A very underrated song that has a catchy chorus.
11)"Lurgee"-One of the few optimistic songs on the album. A song about a man who loses a women but feels better now that she is gone. The dreamy melody and soft soothing vocals by Thom make this one hard to miss.
12)"Blow Out"-This song is the most like their new stuff. It has a jazzy beat at the beginning then it evolves into an intense mix of guitars and drums. An exciting end to this great album

If you're expecting this album to be like "Kid A" or "Amnesiac" you should look the other way. If you liked "The Bends" there is a huge chance you will love this one to. Let it grow on you and take the album as it is, a debut by one of the most influential bands of our generation.

"Jesus Christ...", Comparing this s**t to any of Radiohead later albums is a physical impossiblity, and it's crazy to think that they were made by the same people. While it's not the worst album ever or anything, Pablo Honey is pretty damn bad in just about every aspect. The production is terrible, the lyrics are nothing special, the guitar (except on "Creep") sounds exactly like every other watered-down, mainstream band's guitar, and even Thom Yorke's voice sounds very different, and a billion times worse. "Creep" is the only song on the entire album that I would settle to say is good, but its not great. My advice to you, whether you love Radiohead, hate them, think they're okay, or have never heard them before is to buy anyone of their albums other than this. If you're really that curious to find out what this junk sounds like, download it, don't buy it.

"awesome debut from an overlooked band", I have always overlooked Radiohead I always thought they were a soft rock band like Kyruss, U2 or Coldplay and so I never gave them a chance until recently. This album rocks hard and is the only Radiohead album I've gotten into I have yet to discover The Bends or OK Computer I'm still to busy listening to this amazing debut so I can't say right now that this is there best album. Once I am done with this album I am going to move on to there later work. There is not one bad song on this album but there does seem to be a few filler tracks which is the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. If your a fan of 90's alternative rock like me pick this album up you won't be disappointed.

"better than most people think?", awesome guitar sounds, awesome vocal sound, strongly dynamic arrangements, if you were 16 the first time you heard this you'd love it forever too!
