What is the name of the Radiohead album released in 1995?

The story behind the answer

Radiohead’s album released in 1995 was The Bends. It was the English band’s second studio album, following Pablo Honey, and marked a major artistic step beyond the breakthrough single “Creep.”

The album was released in the United Kingdom on March 13, 1995, and includes songs such as “Planet Telex,” “The Bends,” “Fake Plastic Trees,” “Street Spirit (Fade Out),” and “Just.” Its sound combined alternative rock guitar work with more atmospheric arrangements and emotionally uneasy lyrics.

The Bends became an important bridge between Radiohead’s early guitar-driven period and the experimental approach later heard on OK Computer and Kid A. Although it did not initially produce a U.S. chart-topping single on the scale of “Creep,” its reputation grew steadily and it is now widely regarded as one of the band’s essential records.

The common mix-up is chronological: Pablo Honey came first in 1993, The Bends in 1995, OK Computer in 1997, and Kid A in 2000.
