Sixteen Stone (1994): Filled with heavy guitar riffs, banging drums and passionate lyrics, Bush’s debut album Sixteen Stone earned Bush a home in the American rock music scene. It proved to be Bush’s best work to date. Highlights: “Glycerine,” “Come Down” and “Little Things.”

Razorblade Suitcase (1996): The second effort by Bush continues the bands signature heavy guitars and angst-ridden lyrics sung (or sometimes shouted) by Rossdale. It is obvious that with this album Bush felt safe enough to venture into more experimental sounds in their music. And it works. Bush manages to retain their signature sound while combining new style elements with their music for a rock album with a twist. Highlights: “Swallowed” and “Greedy Fly.”

Deconstructed (1997): After establishing a reputation for being a decent rock band and finally escaping accusations of being Nirvana rip-offs, Bush released Deconstructed — a techno and dance remix album of songs from Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase. While Bush deserves kudos for trying something different and experimenting with their music, the change was just a little too drastic. Highlights: “Mouth”

The Science of Things (1999): This fourth installment of the British quartet’s ode to rock and roll is a respectable album, although it lacks the spark and likeable style of the band’s first two. The album still contains heavy guitar-driven songs and Rossdale’s obscure lyrics, but something is noticeably missing. Highlights: “The Chemistry Between Us” and “Warm Machine”

Golden State (2001): Bush has returned to its roots with its 2001 release Golden State. Fans of Bush’s debut album Sixteen Stone will enjoy the new one as the band ditched the excessive guitar echo and any notions of techno remixes and recorded a truly enjoyable rock album. Golden State demonstrates Bush’s musical growth, as the band comes full circle while simultaneously incorporating newer stylistic elements. Highlights: “The People That we Love” and “Hurricane.”
