Not sure I’d recommend The Bends as their gateway album. I’d probably recommend In Rainbows.

You would say their their seventh studio album was their gateway album? To each their own I suppose. I am old, after all. I would never have gotten in to them after Pablo Honey, which I thought was terrible. Then I have The Bends a chance and it blew me away.

I 100% agree with your take.

Maybe I wasn’t clear on my expectations of the post. By gateway I didn’t mean breakthrough but more like “a gateway drug” so how would you get a non-fan of the artist to want to listen to more.
