## **NOTES ON SOUND.**

**次なる最高峰を前にした、ギター・ロックの最高地点**  
名曲「Creep」による成功と苦悩。ブリット・ポップ全盛の時代に、不安や孤独、社会への違和感を飲み込み、騒音と喧騒の中で美しすぎるメロディを鳴らしたギター・ロックの傑作。『OK Computer』以降の革新性が彼らを特別な存在にしたことは間違いない。だが本作で聴かせる、激しく攻撃性を剥き出しにしたギター・サウンドと、出口の見えない暗闇の中で浮遊する旋律の美しさは、強く胸を打ち、途方もなく感動的だ。Radioheadというバンドの偉大さは、実験性や革新性だけでは語り尽くせない。そのことを証明する一枚。

**English Ver:** 
**The Pinnacle of Guitar Rock, Before Reaching Even Greater Heights**  
The triumph and turmoil brought by the success of their hit song “Creep.” At the height of the Britpop era, Radiohead absorbed anxiety, loneliness, and a sense of alienation from society, creating a guitar-rock masterpiece that set achingly beautiful melodies against a backdrop of noise and chaos.There is no doubt that their innovation from *OK Computer* onward established them as a truly extraordinary band. Yet the fiercely aggressive guitar sound of *The Bends*, together with the beauty of its melodies floating through seemingly endless darkness, strikes a deep emotional chord and is profoundly moving.Radiohead’s greatness cannot be fully explained by experimentation and innovation alone. This album stands as proof of that.
