The 90's was a great decade for rock music. Bush were one of those bands, like Catherine Wheel, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana that could mix raw power with great emotion, melodies and lyrics.
Nowadays that appears to have gone. There's bands with raw power but little emotion (except anger) and bands with loads of tuneful sorrow (but not a lot of oomph).
I had no idea Bush were back in the studio until, by luck, I spotted the vid for 'All My Life' on You tube.
That's all I needed to buy the album 'Sea of Memories'.
It came via post a few days before I wrote this review and my initial impression was 'Wow'. I wanted a few more run throughs before I wrote a review though and I've done that in the car, at home and while walking dogs on my MP3. Basically there's been little else played since it arrived...it is that good.
Is it like the old 90's grungey Bush?
Yes and no.
Yes, because all the raw emotion is still tunefully and powerfully reproduced. This is still 'Bush', the same band that did 'Everything's Zen','Letting The Cable's Sleep' and 'Swallowed'.
No, because this is almost 20 years on and production in the studio has changed.
I can only say this is Bush 2011. The productions a little more modern, polished etc etc.
It's very subtle and I may even be looking at it too deeply to avoid saying Bush are exactly as they were.
Maybe they are and this collection of songs and this album is actually their best work so far.
That's unheard of surely. All comebacks are a disappointment to some degree are they not????
Well whether it's the very subtle production techniques improving Bush's wonderful style and songs or just the fact that they have got even better with the passing of time they've kicked out Sea of Memories', which, in my opinion is their best effort to date.
Surely there must be a tour that goes near Newcastle so I can get there.
Now we just need a similar comeback from Catherine Wheel.

I have been a long time fan of Bush and kind of fell on this album not knowing they had got back together.
As soon as I listened to it I found it was like having an old friend back in your life, Gavin's voice really shines and I think it has got better with time. Dont get me wrong, this is not the Bush of 16 Stone they have changed and so has the line up. What you have now is........how do I put it.....GREAT?
Its full of catchy, moody, and damn right adictive tunes that demand to be played loud.
Buy it, enjoy it!

Bush....One of the best bands Britain ever had...and then sadly let go, I could never understand why we didnt embrace them like they did in America. Having followed them from the start `The Sea of Memories` is already battling it out with `Razorblade Suitcase` for top of my favourites list. Its a slightly different direction the band have gone in and I reckon they are better for it, a bit more up tempo,If I had to compare it to another Bush album I reckon its more along the lines of `Golden State`, However dont use that as a cast iron comparison, like I said its a new Bush sound and I love it. If you have even the slightest interest in Bush you will not be disappointed with this,If you have never even heard a Bush track in your life but enjoy real music made by real musicians with real instruments give this a go,again you wont regret it. Definately without a doubt the best thing ive heard all year. 10/10
