Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Golden State, Bush's fourth album, is their strongest to date. This record gleams with power and purpose, as well it should. Bush have been slogging their way around the toilets, arenas and stadia of the world for a decade now: they may be orthodox, but they wield a thrilling control over rock's tensions and dynamics. In "Solutions", "Superman", "Fugitive" and "Reasons", Golden State boasts four exemplary alternative rock anthems that any band would be proud to own. There are no weak tracks, no fillers. Gavin Rossdale sounds anguished and driven, and his band is a fantastic, febrile unit. So, did the early, embryonic Bush begin their career copying Nirvana? Who cares? Golden State is a rich, resourceful record from a band near their peak. --Ian Gittins

this album is supurb. no doubt about it. ranks alongside the previous 3 albums. and by the way, the science of things is just as strong as sixteen stone, or even better than sixteen stone. u need to listen to it deeply to get the full effect of the album - its a work of art. anyway, golden state mixes all the good parts from the previous 3 albums to come up with the best album realeased this year by any artist.

This album is one of the best i own.....The Album consists of some great Rock tracks such as "Solutions", "People that we Love", "Reasons" etc whilst also comprising with Gavin Rossdales ever growing sensitive song writing side in songs such as "Inflatable" and "out of this world".
The album also has a great closing and very catchy song in "Float". It's one of the best Rock albums of the year and if you're into great riffs, catchy songs and songs that will touch you, then Golden State is for you.

This Bush album is irresistible. I could quote more euphemisms, however it would be a excercise in futility. The only way to see what I mean is to buy it, and listen to it. Golden State goes where no Bush album has been since thier first, Sixteen Stone.
I found bush, as many, through Razorblade Suitcase following the release of 'swallowed'. I thought this was good until I bought Sixteen Stone. Golden State is not as dark or contrived as Razorblade Suitcase or The Science of Things. It emits energy from start to finish, and flows from one energy charged track to the next. Track names are irrelevant, you just have to listen to the twelve songs as if they are one. There are simply no dull moments to be found here. The songs feel relaxed, unlike some previous, that sounded like Bush were trying to write, rather than create. Go and buy this CD. You will not be disappointed.

Nearly as good as sixteen stone
'Golden State' is a magnificent return to form. 'Sixteen stone' was, and still is an amazing album which would be hard to top, but this new album by Bush is nearly as good. Read more
