The debut album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, piano, organ, tape loops and vocals.
Radiohead may be a band too "big" for this blog. Nevertheless, they have been a highly influential band for a lot of genres, including progressive rock, since they album debuted with this album. Or to be more precise, since the release of their second album. I am therefore going to review their nine albums in this blog.
Pablo Honey is most known for the hitsingle and Beavis & Butthead (MTV series) favourite song Creep. A song the band feels has been a millstone around their neck. I am not so sure about that. But it lumped them into this Britpop genre and that was not a good thing.
Creep is a great song and one of the highlights of British pop and rock from the 1990s.
The rest of the album is a mix of indie rock with some loud rockers and some more pastoral indie pop songs. The title track is the second best song here. The rest of the songs are very introverted and does not blossom into flowers at all. In short, they are only half decent songs.
The result is a decent album and an album which made the scene take notice. And rightly so.
