Bush is Back!
I was a big fan of "Sixteen Stone" and unlike many others, I simply LOVED the dark, brooding sound of the Steve Albini produced "Razorblade Suitcase". "The Science of Things" was a solid effort but it seemed to lack the passion of the first two albums.
Let me state, with absolutely NO uncertainty, that Bush is definately back. "Golden State" has everything you love about BUSH and then some. There are the radio friendly singles with the catchy choruses, the soulful ballad, and the full-on rocking songs.
The band is tight. Tighter than ever before. I have never noticed this before but the drumming is really an integral part of this CD. There is still that industrial sound that Bush seems to have gravitated towards but it simply fuels the English fire that is Bush.
After about 200 listens, I can honestly say that there is not a throwaway track to be found on this CD. Even my wife, who abhors hard rock has been heard to be humming "Land of the Living", "Solutions" and "Reasons" among others. The more you listen, the more subtle you realize this album actually is.
I cannot believe Gavin just got married as the lyrics, while not dark, definately do not sound like someone who is at peace with the world. Bush is exploring the same musical territory as they have always been, only this time it goes to new depths.
EVERY song is on the CD for a reason. For example, on the first couple of listens, I could have done without the repetitive "Hurricane". A few weeks later and it is my favorite song. It's not so much what Gavin is singing, it's HOW he presents it.
"My Engine is With You" is one of the heaviest, pure heavy rock numbers I have heard in years, while "Fugitive" and "Land of the Living" grow on me until I am singing them even after the CD has been taken out of my player.
For anyone who thought that BUSH had lost their edge, was washed up and ready to "phone it in", I ask you to buy this CD, right now, and then listen to it for a couple of weeks. If you do not appreciate it, email me. I honestly believe this is the best BUSH album released in years and one of the best of 2002. Trust me on this one.

as golden as it comes
This is Bush's best album yet, without a doubt. Aside from 2 slower songs, every song is incredibly hard and layered with sound, so its hard but at the same time not hurt-your-ears hard. The guitars are mind-boggling, the melodies are incredible, in the bleak scene that is rock music today Bush is a savior in their own right. The People That We Love is such a great song, but the whole album is just as good, if not better. Headful of Ghosts is incredible, with the music pounding, then slowing, then bringing you right back up there again. Incredible. Hurricane has a great melody to it, and the guitars are excellent. Inflatable is a slow song that is really haunting, and Out of This World's jungle drums are really cool. The cd's songs have plenty of variety as well, so not every song sounds the same which is the case for many of today's "so-called" rockers. Float is the best last song from any of Bush's album's, it is incredible, and the chorus is the best. So buy this album, it is a definite for Bush fans, and for anyone looking to get away from the blink 182's of today's rock scene, this is an album to show what being a hard rock band is all about.

A load of Garbage
What a horrendous album. I can't believe I wasted my hard-earned dollars on it. I listened to whole thing, and the next day, I felt compelled to toss it out of my window of my car on the way to work. Can someone tell me what happened to this band? They were once one of my favorites, seems like they totally sold out. If you buy this album, and listen to it, you will be sorry.
