What I can say of Pablo Honey - you can definitely hear elements of the later band to come, some of the drumming rhythyms, some of the more sentimental songs, kinda have a more raw, "The Bends" kinda feel to them... but then you have tracks like "Anyone can Play Guitar" and you realise this is still a band that is striving for their own identity, and there are just a few too many contemporary Britpop and Grunge influences going on here...

They definitely found themselves to a better degree and honed in their sound on The Bends
Could not agree with you more.

I did the same sort of retrospective thing not too long ago. Such a great band.
