 (3 Customer Reviews)
"Swallowed" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.
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't lost 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 a comforting closure that doesn't always arrive. Gavin Rossdale's wavering tenor shoots a dose of internalized 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.
Recorded at Sarm Hook End, Berkshire, England and Abbey Road, London, England.
Bush: Gavin Rossdale (guitar, vocals); Nigel Pulsford (guitar); Dave Parsons (bass); Robin Goodridge (drums).
Additional personnel: Winston (vocals); Gavyn Wright, Perry Montague-Mason (violin); Bill Hawkes (viola); Frank Schaefer (cello).

Q (1/98, p.111) - Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1997."
Q (2/97, p.97) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...like all half decent bands on their second album, Bush are evolving into their own men with a hugely appealing sound that is distinctly theirs....Ultimately, RAZORBLADE SUITCASE is SIXTEEN STONE with more confidence...and what seems to be a deliberate attempt to push out the corners of their own envelope..."

RAD!
this is a rad cd. I wanted to get it because I thought it had the Chemicals Between Us on it, but when I stole it from my dad, I was disappointed, but then I put it in and I thought, wow! this is so awesome. I love Swallowed, Insect Kin, Mouth, Greedy Fly, and Cold Contagious. but the lyric booklet pissed me off. It's so confusing. anyway, I still really want to get the science of things and Sixteen Stone especially. I have loved Bush since I was like, six and heard Comedown. and Then Glycerine, ane then The Chemicals Between us. I never really heard anything alse from them on the radio, but htis Cd is RAD!

It sounds like In Utero by Nirvana cuz they used Albini on this one! A tendency to start fires is the best one here.

 $13.69
On THE SCIENCE OF THINGS, Bush manages to provide a link to the sound of the band's previous albums without stagnating in a post-grunge mire of hard-rock cliches. Old-school fans needn't worry, Bush's trademark style is well represented here, as on the grinding, piledriver riffs of "English Fire" and that vaunted, Nirvana-derived loud-soft-loud dynamic shift on the alternately foreboding and explosive "Dead Meat."
There's a distinct musical progression here as well, though. With its looped-sounding ...

Razorblade Suitcase music CDs

The inevitable British take on the Seattle sound leans more toward Nirvana's distorted guitars and cynical lyrics than toward Pearl Jam's classic rock guitar riffs and sincere words. Forcing vowels out of his throat while moaning that "fame is a whore," Gavin Rossdale sounds eerily like Kurt Cobain might have with a British accent. And a few of the songs on the band's debut album, like "Little Things," with its four-chord riff and loud-soft-loud dynamic, openly invite the comparison.
But Rossdale's tunes, which typically feature stripped-down verses invaded by SCUDs of feedback squeaks and guitar belches, unfold in an anti-pop way ...

The result is DECONSTRUCTED, a deeply engrossing collection of heavy drum 'n' bass beats and digital atmospheres. Using the original songs as a jumping-off point, the artists have ...
