Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Alongside Foo Fighters and the youthful Irish four-piece Ash, Bush are latter-day grunge's standard-bearers. And, although the quartet may be critically derided, they didn't get to sell more than 15 million copies of their previous records (mostly in the US) 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

On the first listen it seems a far cry from the raw, heavy guitar based drive of 'Razorblade Suitcase', a generally more synthesised sound. Not that this is a bad thing, rather, progressive and a more polished end result. The album builds up through 'Warm Machine' and 'The Chemicals between us' to one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, 'Letting the Cables Sleep'. A powerful ballad that perfectly suits Gavin Rossdale's gentle grunge vocals, backed up by a full string section.
A wonderful album, not quite as instant as other Bush offerings, but definitely a good addition to any CD collection.

When I think about Bush during my everyday life, I really don't know why I like them. They're hardily innovative and quite frankly, they're totally middle of the road. Still, listening to them there is something about them that appeals to me. I do think Rossdale has a great (even if a little one-dimensional) voice and they do write melodic yet reasonably heavy songs. 'Warm Machine' and 'The Chemicals Between Us' are both very strong tracks, 'Letting The Cables Sleep' is the mellow reflective one and these three are the standout tracks. Theres nothing here that hasn't been done a thousand times before, but that dosn't matter, Bush are great in their unoriginality.

Lets be honest Bush are one of the best bands to ever come out of Britain, under rated but with a loyal and steady following, this latest album is another of their great creations equally matching up to "Sixteen Stone" and "Razorblade Suitcase". Amazing.

Rock goes electronic and a lovely mess ensues
What can you say about Bush? The British band the British love to hate. The grunge band that inherited Nirvana's slightly tarnished crown and took angst to the masses. Read more

What? You haven't bought it yet
If the only track on the CD was the first one, Warm Machine, then you wouldn't feel cheated but when that's followed up by the lilting, pulsing Jesus Online and the throbbing... Read more

Bush's best album to date
The "Science of Things" album is a definite must! It is nothing like "Sixteen Stone" or "Razorblade Suitcase" . Read more

Pure Class
This album is excellent and a must have for any grunge or rock fans. It proves the Nirvana tag is unjustified and reinforces Bush as an excellent rock group. Read more

The Music on this CD is rockin, you have to get it man !!!
This cd is the best of all the bush, albums it is like a part two of Razorblade Suitcase. They are moving on from there Nirvana image and I would say they are better.

Nearly their best.
Perhaps now they can shake off their 'Nirvana Lite' nickname. This shows a new direction in their music, with 'Chemicals between us' and 'Dead Meat' standing out.

A shame.
I find it sad that after the storming Sixteen stone, the band slipped so far with deconstructed and Razorblade suitcase. Read more

If you like alternative music- this is the album for you!!!!
Listening to it now I am amazed by its sheer quality. There is no competition to the stuff in the charts at the moment. This is a wonderful album.
