Bush fue una banda inglesa de post-grunge formada en 1992 considerada la Pionera del genero post grunge. Su álbum de debut fue Sixteen Stone, en 1994. Llamados Bush por el distrito londinense de Sheperd's Bush. En 1996 estrenaron su segundo álbum, Razorblade Suitcase, en el que se observan sus primeros coqueteos con la electrónica. De éste álbum se editaría una versión de remezclas titulada Deconstructed al año siguiente. En 1999 se edita su tercer álbum de estudio, The Science of Things, cuyas ventas comienzan a no responder a las espectativas creadas por sus dos álbumes anteriores. Finalmente, se edita en 2001 su último álbum de estudio, Golden State, cuyas decepcionantes ventas y la falta de apoyo por parte del sello Atlantic provocaron la desintegración de la banda. Los miembros de la banda han comenzado a trabajar en varios proyectos, siendo el de Gavin Rossdale, Institute, el más notable de ellos. En 2005 se editó una recopilación de sus mejores temas bajo el título Best Of: 1994-1999, que incluye sus clásicos: "Everything Zen", "Little Things", "Comedown", "Machinehead", "Glycerine", "Swallowed", "Greedy Fly", "Warm Machine", "The Chemical between Us" y "Letting the Cables Sleep". Los vídeos de los singles de sus dos primeros álbumes fueron editados en Alleys and Motorways, donde se incluyen además algunas actuaciones en directo.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Nirvana should've been quite flattered by Sixteen Stone. The English quartet perfectly mimics the early '90s grunge sound with this '94 release. As for Kurt Cobain comparisons, singer Gavin Rossdale has a captivating voice, but lyrics are not his forte, as the splintered ramblings of "Everything Zen" indicates. (Gotta do better than "There's no sex in your violence.") The players meanwhile produce a perfectly competent approximation of their Northwestern heroes. "Little Things" is a successful rewrite of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" while "Machinehead" crunches like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. In fact, the whole album feels like a throwback to 1992. Sixteen Stone may be derivative, but it's catchy as hell, too. --Rob O'Connor

Gavin Rossdale may try his best to sound like Kurt Cobain, and his British band may strum and bang Seattle-style, and Steve Albini may produce like he never left the alterna-grunge basement, but the songs here are pure pop for now people--now being Grunge-mania 1996. The lyrics always loop around in disjunctive fits and Albini ensures the band stops and starts in discomforting style but deep down Rossdale has his radio tuned to the FM-radio hits of yesteryear. "Swallowed" is the obvious single but "History," "Greedy Fly," and others have a sugary side that's pure ear candy underneath the harsh wailings. --Rob O'Connor

Alongside Foo Fighters and the youthful Irish four-piece Ash, Bush are now grunge's standard-bearers. And, although the U.K. quartet may be critically derided, they didn't get to sell more than 15 million copies of their previous records by listening to the press--or, indeed, making any sudden musical changes. So Science of Things is basically Razorblade Suitcase part 2, albeit a little more refined, melodic, and polished. And, although there are no instant megahits like "Swallowed" here, Rossdale's throaty Cobain-influenced rasp on songs like the downbeat "The Chemicals Between Us" and "Prizefighter," coupled with Pulsford's meaty, chunky guitar sound, means that there's more than enough here to keep the fans happy. --Everett True

The good news: Bush haven't changed much since 1994, the year of their breakthrough hits "Everything Zen," "Machinehead," and Glycerin." The bad news: Bush haven't changed much since 1994. Still, fans of singer Gavin Rossdale's breathy, sexy, Bono-ish vocals will dig such songs as "Solutions," which finds the Brit foursome mining familiar musical and lyrical territory. While the album is not a revelation, it is a solid outing laced with cool contrasts, provided in part by the input and production of Dave Sardy (Marilyn Manson). From the melancholy "Headful of Ghosts" and the raw and rollicking "The People That We Love" to "Superman"--a lush, loose and expansive song, heavy on the metaphors--Golden State sounds stellar. On the mellower tip, "Inflatable" is lovely, sexy, somnolent, and atmospheric, as is "Out of This World," with hollow-sounding, almost tribal drums, sitar sounds, and industrial tinges. Bush move easily into wilder territory with the raw, powerful guitars of "Fugitive"; the edgy, frenetic drums and techno touches that mark "Reasons"; and the unexpected punk fury of the two-and-a-half minute "My Engine Is with You." While Bush's fourth outing may not break new ground, this Golden State is still planted on terra firma. --Katherine Turman
