Before Radiohead became the biggest critics' darling since Pavement or Dr. Dre, they were just another pre-Oasis British band with some loose indie ties, trying to gain some cred. Loopy enough to name this moody, often battering debut album for a Jerky Boys routine, they were also a lot more interesting when they hadn't yet learned the word "soundscape." "Creep," the miserably majestic single they now claim nearly ruined them, may not even be the best thing here; try "Anyone Can Play Guitar," an epitaph for River Phoenix before the fact. --Rickey Wright2) Amazon.com

1) Radiohead CD [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The music is great. Creep is a phenomenal song with a great hook. It didn't take long to get the CD. Great service2) Great Debut by the then angsty Radiohead [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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 albumIf 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.3) Jesus Christ... [Rating: 2 out of 5]
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.4) awesome debut from an overlooked band [Rating: 4 out of 5]
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.5) better than most people think? [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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!
