About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Bush's grunge-by-the-numbers is certainly well-produced. Under the guidance of Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley -- the kings of early-'80s British pop -- Bush turn in an album that follows all the rules and sounds of American hard rock, specifically Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Their songwriting isn't terribly original, nor is it particularly catchy. What makes "Everything Zen" and "Little Things" memorable is the exact reproduction of all of Nirvana's trademarks, only with a more professional execution. In other words, all the guitars keep rhythm perfectly and Gavin Rossdale doesn't shred his throat when he sings, he projects from his diaphragm. As far as pop craftmanship goes, it's actually quite impressive. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

May 25, 2003: To say that 16 stone is just an imitation of nirvana is underestimating Bush. They were more than just a post-grunge era imitation then and they certainly are now. No one can deny the heavy influence of nirvana and soundgarden but I think Bush adds something to that which is entirely their own. They are sort of grunge gone alternative rock with softer vocals but still a coarse sound. There is a good mix of hard and softer stuff on the album, most noteably glycerine as soft and everything zen little things and machinehead as harder. This is probably Bush's best album although Razorblade suitecase does come very close with a bit of a different sound. Definately worth buying if you like grunge and alternative rock.
