The good news: Bush haven't changed much since 1994, the year of their breakthrough hits "Everything Zen," "Machinehead," and Glycerin." The bad news: Bush haven't changed much since 1994. Still, fans of singer Gavin Rossdale's breathy, sexy, Bono-ish vocals will dig such songs as "Solutions," which finds the Brit foursome mining familiar musical and lyrical territory. While the album is not a revelation, it is a solid outing laced with cool contrasts, provided in part by the input and production of Dave Sardy (Marilyn Manson). From the melancholy "Headful of Ghosts" and the raw and rollicking "The People That We Love" to "Superman"--a lush, loose and expansive song, heavy on the metaphors--Golden State sounds stellar. On the mellower tip, "Inflatable" is lovely, sexy, somnolent, and atmospheric, as is "Out of This World," with hollow-sounding, almost tribal drums, sitar sounds, and industrial tinges. Bush move easily into wilder territory with the raw, powerful guitars of "Fugitive"; the edgy, frenetic drums and techno touches that mark "Reasons"; and the unexpected punk fury of the two-and-a-half minute "My Engine Is with You." While Bush's fourth outing may not break new ground, this Golden State is still planted on terra firma. --Katherine Turman

Rating: - A turn back to form after weak third release.
This cd is just as good as Razorblade Suitcase. There are some hit singles, most notably: "The People That We Love", which is my favorite Bush song since the days of 16 Stone. "Superman" is an excellent tune, and it is a solid effort throughout. They probably won some fans back with this one, but sadly, they have broken up since this released. Gavin has a new band called Institute, and he did some solo stuff too. I would check into that stuff if you are a fan. Institute has some good moments, but ... Read More

Rating: - Really good music
The more I listen to it, the more I like it. Great stuff! Sixteen stone was a great CD, and I liked the ones that came after that, but this is a return to the original great stuff, but still new.

Rating: - Worst sales, Best tales
This album was thrown under the bus when no one was looking, but it is simply their best album since 'Sixteen Stone.' Whereas 'Razorblade Suitcase' was status quo and 'The Science of Things' lacked a defined album musical direction, 'Golden State' surfaces as a great comeback with hanuting yet beautiful melodies. Lyrically, it is superior to the last two records and Gavin's vocals are of course gorgeous.

Listen to these three tracks and you'll marry this album: 'Solutions,' 'Inflatable,' ... Read More

Rating: - Its alright.
This is Bush's fourth album, and its pretty good, its shame it dd not the air play it should of, especially compared to the other junk thats constantly rotating on the airwaves.

Every track delivers, its just its far to stripped back and no individual songs really stand out that match it with their best songs. Still "Solutions" "Headful of Ghosts" "Float" "Inflatable" are all standouts.
