Word for word maybe not, but Thom has a worldview, which is something that Bush lacks. In stark relief.

ie he did his day job and got paid accordingly.
Some NME review from way back nailed the problem with Bush: they (or Gavin) think that because they like Mudhoney and Big Black etc, and music journalists like these bands as well, that should mean Bush are good and critically praised. Which is where their incredibly dull songs come in.
I've never heard their cover of 'Kerosene'. How bad is it on a scale of one to PUBLIC HANGING IMMEDIATELY? Anyone?

Not really a hit, but it was briefly in rotation on a local "modern rock" radio station about 5 years ago.

The way people a few years older feel about pop-metal and pop-music from the mid/late-80s, that's me for the mid-90s. I just bought Sheryl Crow's Tuesday Night Music Club and Alannis's Jagged Little Pill at the used-CD store.

Miloaukerman apparently is about the same age as I am, since the mid- 90's music he mentioned was the music I remembered from middle school.But don't forget the all-pervasive, insidious, evil influence on the radio that was Hootie and the Blowfish, a band far worse than even Bush...at

Anyway, they did at least have a couple of tunes that were better than 99 per cent of all other grunge "songs".

"though I think STP were a little bit better (not much, though)."- I feel like 90% of those who diss STP have never heard "Tiny Music."

As in "Venus Hum are the Bush of..." One of the worst bands I've heard for a couple of years, Venus Hum. Dire empty toss.

Did anyone else know there's a new Bush single? I just found out via flashing banner ad somewhere.
This sort of musical makeover worked three years ago when Silverchair did it with "Straight Lines" (imo, at least), but Bush falls flat on their faces with "Afterlife": http://www.bushofficial.com/reveal.aspx

I bleach the skyEvery nightLoaded on wrongAnd further from rightSpinning aroundTwo howling moons'Cause they're always thereWhatever I do
The river is loadedI've been there todayTook it some questionsShe does me againI'd die in your armsIf you were dead tooHere comes a lieWe will always be true
The bigger you give bigger you getWe're boss at denialBut best at forgetCupboard is empty we really need foodSummer is winter and you always knew
I touch your mouth my will is foodAddicted to love I'm addicted to bull-shitI kill you once I kill you againWe're starving and crudeWelcome my friends to
To the little things that killTearing at my brains againOh the little things that killTearing at my brains again

New album isn't terrible? Really heavy for these guys, a couple of times the guitars reminded me of latter Hum. Rossdale's lyrics are still pretty awful tho.
