Describing how this album changed drastically the history of the British band would be as absurd as describing how The Dark Side of the Moon changed the career of Pink Floyd. Even when Radiohead was well positioned in the mainstream with its overplayed ballad "Creep" and its ten thousand versions, even when they've removed the label of "One Hit Wonder Band" from themselves after the release of their second album "The Bends"; which contains mucho more interesting stuff than their debut "Pablo Honey", this album is the one that puts them on the top and when the critics point them as the most important band in the UK since Pink Floyd itself, because of their metamorphosis ability from work to work, that in sometimes you hesitate if it's the same band.

The music from this recording is very enjoyable and diverse, from any kind of tastes. It also contains a lot of electronic experiments with guitars and keyboards, which adds a futuristic touch to it.

I'd like to recommend this album to anyone who wants to start listening and exploring Radiohead. This is the album when Radiohead starts their turning from being an Alternative rock band into an Art Rock one.
