Pablo Honey
by Radiohead

It's the earlier Radiohead that I prefer. I like it better than the experimental path they took on latter albums. 'Creep' still being one of my favorite tracks from them. Surprises me this isn't further up the list of their catalog.

Forgettable album, but only noticeably bad because it's Radiohead. They raised the bar so high with their later albums that this seems terrible, but objectively it's about a 6/10. Average alt rock 90s songs with one hit. Creep is actually the best song on the album so it's not surprising that it became popular.

A impressive album for debut, well worth a listen.

Many indie bands have never made an album this good and this now days feels strange listening to it thinking its Radiohead with the many great albums that came after it . if they had never made another album after this it would be a favourite amongst indie lovers . on its own a very good debut , but it has that huge shadow over it with the rest of Radiohead's discography and the fact the band were forced to play CREEP that much they ended up hating it and most of the album

The only good album Radiohead ever made.

I find it rich that people (most notably, Radiohead fans) have severely underrated this album, seemingly because of the success of "Creep".

At least this album is straightforward, and doesn't feel like it needs to cover itself up with 10,000 layers of clashing production elements, or feature endless moaning.

While there's maybe not a massive stylistic leap between this and The Bends, it is interesting to hear Radiohead figure themselves out. There are the bones of what would become their core sensibility. Tracks like "You," 'Creep," and "Blow Out" wouldn't feel out of place on future Radiohead records. The rest of the album is still quite good, with the only major downside is its back half being a small step down from the first several tracks. On the whole, though, it's a good debut, even if you don't quite here the band that will become Radiohead right away.

Overall very generic alternative rock album with very little to offer, nothing comparing with their later projects. There are only 4 tracks worth listening - You, Creep, Stop Whispering and Blow Out.

Decente pero no suena a Radiohead. Era un grupo de jóvenes iniciando su carrera en la industria musical y "Pablo Honey" no logró diferenciarse lo suficiente como para destacar entre todo el Grunge y Britpop de la época. "Creep" y "Blow Out" son lo más destacado del álbum, el resto es muy promedio.

English review
Decent but doesn't sound like Radiohead. It was a group of young people starting their career in the music industry and "Pablo Honey" failed to differentiate itself enough to stand out among all the Grunge and Britpop of the time. "Creep" and "Blow Out" are the highlight of the album, the rest is average.

Not bad but not radiohead
