Not only have BUSH outlived most of the bands in the scene from which they emerged, they've achieved their own sound on their own terms. Half pop purists, half-rugged experimentalists, they've forged a narrow path between commerciality and artistic creation.
Like Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase, the lyrics on The Science Of Things address sometimes contrasting themes of aspiration and frustration, loneliness and independence -- and through it all, Rossdale emerges as a man who gallantly searches for answers he may never disclose.
Rossdale wrote the bulk of The Science Of Things during the band's six month hiatus after its Razorblade Suitcase tour in 1998. While he had previously written many BUSH songs in the heart of the city, he decided he wanted to get away from the distractions of London this time, so he journeyed to an old mansion on the Irish Coast near the city of Cork. He found the tranquility inspirational, and within six months he had recorded demos for 25 new songs.
"I think it's definitely our most interesting record," says Rossdale. "But if you liked BUSH before, there's no reason you're not going to still like us. It's not like we did a complete about face."
The Science Of Things encapsulates exactly where BUSH have been, where they are now, and where they're going. Actually, the disc marks the band's growth like a medical chart, combining the infectious vigor of Sixteen Stone, the vital urgency of Razorblade Suitcase, and the cutting-edge whimsy of Deconstructed.
For anyone who ever doubted BUSH's sincerity or staying power, The Science of Things proves that not only can BUSH weather the storm, not only can they gain the admiration and respect of those who once doubted them, but they can do so in a way that's as meaningful to their legions of fans now as it was a long six years ago. Or as Rossdale says in "Prizefighter," "I'm up on this climb/ I won't fade away/The best is yet to come."
