Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's hard to deny that "Swallowed"--the first single from Bush's difficult second album Razorblade Suitcase--has a way with a rousing, seismic chorus. It's just a shame that the same dynamics were born with Husker Du, minted by The Pixies, and perfected by Nirvana while Bush were still gigging their way around London's fleapits, waiting for their big break. No, Razorblade Suitcase--like Bush's debut, Sixteen Stone--isn't actually that bad. It's just perplexing to see a band this successful make a career out of stepping in other band's footsteps. Steve Albini, producer of Razorblade Suitcase does his erstwhile best to pervert Bush's radio-clean grunge, as on "Insect Kin"--but as he was the producer of Nirvana's In Utero, you can't help but feel that Razorblade Suitcase apes that record's fractured angst as surely as Sixteen Stone crept in on the tail of Nevermind. --Louis Pattison
CD Description
Bush is now a household word in rock and roll, but 5 million records later, with its two-year-old debut still in the Top 100, the British band's blustering alternative rock hasn'tlost its bite or its cynicism. Several songs on the band's second record will pummel you with blistering guitar feedback, burly bass lines and pounding drums, while the slower tracks will drag you down into the deepest recesses of rock melancholia.
If there's one thing for certain on RAZORBLADE SUITCASE, it's that Bush is attempting to record its disillusionment with as much fidelity as possible. The band gets a good push toward that goal from Steve Albini, whose production magnifies the band's desperate edge. The songs twist and turn in a prickly verse-chorus-verse format, in pursuit of acomforting closure that doesn't always arrive. Gavin Rossdale's wavering tenor shoots a dose of internalised turmoil straight into the heart. And when Rossdale sardonically rasps,"we're all the confusion, we're all the rage", it's clear the band's success hasn't dulled its edges. Bush's righteous bitterness, along with its forceful, uncompromising musicality, gives RAZORBLADE SUITCASE sharp teeth.
