So, these are the b-sides to The Bends. You probably already have this disc, as they have re-released the album with a bonus disc of all the b-sides. Sorta takes the fun out of collecting all the singles when they'll turn around and release a disc like this. That being said, this is nothing new.
The reason why I wanted to post it, though, was to say that although OK Computer was a great album, The Bends is a better album and very underappreciated. The B's are good, too. Thom's vocals hadn't really gotten too bizarre, yet. And the music was a little more cohesive. I thought it was an awesome sophomore release, if anything.
I found the cover I've selected here on the internet as a wallpaper. This cover is another reason why I wanted to do this post. The wallpaper (thanks to whoever made it) is a far superior graphic for the album, IMHO. If I could have found a way to keep the faces on there, though.
Anyway, it's a throwaway post. Nothing new, just a different cover and a lot of bullshit on my part. I've got Depeche Mode tomorrow, if that'll make you happy.
