“**💭 Thoughts:** Alternative rock legends Radiohead’s 1993 debut album *Pablo Honey* lays the foundation for their signature, melancholic style, characterized by layered guitars, Yorke’s fragile vocals, and themes of alienation and isolation; however these ideas feel a tad underdeveloped compared with their later work. While this album isn’t necessarily bad, I truly believe this was just a stepping stone for their later, more refined work. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) You 🔵🥇 2.) Creep 🔵 3.) How Do You? 🟡 4.)

“Radioheads first album lacks the consistency and risks their albums would have on basically every or after this. Poor instrumentals, vocals, repetitiveness are all the main causes for this album never being in a rotation of mine and only keeping 2-3 songs. I will say it’s a bit better than what I remember but many songs are still just plain bad. By far the worst Radiohead for me”
“They were developing. Don’t be too harsh.”
