I guess I don't see _The Bends_ as underrated. At least not with people. In the reviews when it came
out, maybe. But I know a lot of people who love that CD. Who love both of 'em, actually. I also really
like "Planet Telex" as the opening. But "Airbag" is one of the best CD openings I've ever heard. And I'm
not just being argumentative on that one. I've felt that way since the first time I pressed "play". It's
just so ominous sounding. I like "FPT" okay, but "Street Spirit", "Just" and the first two songs are
probably my favourites on the CD.
