Bush - The Science of Things
- The first two albums Bush turned out were good. They were part of the post-grunge scene which emerged in the '90s. Like Nirvana, they had a simple lineup playing songs simply. There were no frills. Unfortunately, these albums were part of a larger movement, and though they were good, they probably wouldn’t last. Bush’s final album, “The Science of Things,” is an album that should. This is a great album. Part of the reason this is a fantastic album for those who like heavier music is that, in a departure from what was popular in rock at the time, during production the band added multiple electronic effects. One can hear this on the track, “The Chemicals Between Us,” a track whose throbbing opener and hip-hop beat recalls Nine Inch Nails.
Much of this album contains songs that tend to fall into the industrial category, which of itself is very broad. A lot of that effect comes from the clear production, and the well weaved guitar lines, as well as the background feedback and assorted noise, as a listener can hear on the opening track, “Warm Machine.” Other songs on the album lean towards a more aggressive metal sound, specifically the rockin’ track, “Disease of the Dancing Cats.” This is a great album because the band has experimented. The changes aren’t even that drastic, but it goes to show you what a little ingenuity can do for you.
