Bush: The Science of Things
 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.
