Bush-Sixteen Stone

The quartet from Britain,mimic the grunge sound of the 80's amazingly well in this release.Lead singer Gavin Rossdale has a really captivating voice but but writing lyrics are not his forte I guess,as the splintered ramblings of "Everything's Zen"indicates.But in "Everything's Zen" Bush produce a competent approximation of their heroes Nirvana."Little things" is a brilliant rewrite of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".The song is just too good.The next great song in the album is "Machinehead".This one's my favourite in the album.The song opens with an amazing riff."Glycerine" is also a breath taking song.This song crunches just like a "Pearl Jam" or "Soundgarden" song.Even though Bush have derived their sounds from various locations,the album is really catchy and its worth a listen.
