善变
"The Bends" has been described as an alternative rock, Britpop and indie rock album. According to Kolderie, ""The Bends" was neither an English album nor an American album. It's an album made in the void of touring and travelling. It really had that feeling of, 'We don't live anywhere and we don't belong anywhere'". Several songs evoke a "sense of a disintegrated or disconnected subject".
