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

| 29 of 31 people found the following review helpful  something must really be wrong with me, because i think..., This review is from: The Science Of Things (Audio CD) like another reviewer has said, this album is not nearly as bad as some people are saying. the intensity of gavin rossdale's songwriting and singing as well as the rest of the band in playing, is incredible. the only objections i have to this entire cd are 'dead meat' and 'mindchanger', both which i skip rather than play through. the diversity on this record are incredible, 'letting the cables sleep' showing an amazing lull in guitars, 'the chemicals between us' blaring out loudly in every way, 'disease of the dancing cats' showing the band's membership in peta is not just lip service, and 'spacetravel' showing us a very different version of gavin's girlfriend, lead singer of no doubt gwen steffani. i think that the best song on this cd is 'jesus online' because of the way it starts out sounding very hollow and boring, but eventually gains the momentum and guitars that bush is famous for. i also like 'prizefighter' (because 'the best is yet to come'!) and '40...

Bush shine like never before!, By Matt Laird (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Science Of Things (Audio CD) "The Science of Things" is not an instant Bush classic. It doesn't have any megahits like "Comedown" or "Swallowed". But it is the best Bush album to date. It just might not seem that way on a single glance. It grows on you. After 1, 2, or even 3 listenings you still might not like it as much as their previous albums. But listen to it at least 4 times before you make an educated judgement. "Sixteen Stone" was awesome (despite it's few weak factors) and "Razorblade Suitcase" was really good (despite it's weak factors). I'm not even going to mention "Deconstructed" because I hated that album so much. But "The Science of Things" takes the cake. Gavin had a great idea to get away from the city and take a vacation in the countryside to write these songs. If he hadn't of, the songs probably wouldn't be as relaxed and refreshing as they are now. That's the thing I love about it. It's relaxed and renewed feeling...

It also makes clear that Bush can make some original music on their own. The two slower ballads ("40 Miles from the Sun" and "Letting the Cables Sleep") are the milestones of this LP. Despite the techno influences that Gavin Rossdale embraces on The Science of Things, they never dominate the songs, they only enhance them. He also tries (too hard at times) to be political. He takes on political themes on "Disease of the Dancing Cats," "Spacetravel," and "English Fire." He also seems disgusted with humankind's ever-increasing reliance on technology on tracks like "Jesus Online." Bush's trademark crunch and hooks are still intact on this album, most notably on "Prizefighter" and "Warm Machine." Bush also explores new creative territory. The new electronic elements give Bush a fuller, more realized sound... Read more |
