Entertainment WeeklyMay 11, 2015[Snoop Dogg] deftly absorbs Pharell's energy, expanding his own cult of personality to the point that he eclipses almost everyone else along for the ride, including Stevie Wonder and Gwen Stefani. [15 May 2015, p.56]
-
The SourceAug 4, 2015While the rappers who also contribute to the album aren't out of place, the journey you take with Snoop and Pharrell feels a bit over capacity with their addition. [Jun-Jul 2015, p.88]
-
May 13, 2015Overall, Bush is a fun and enjoyable listen from start to finish with the album’s retro imagery brought to life by Snoop Dogg and his slick persona.
-
May 11, 2015Accept Bush as a delayed dank disco triumph, and then drop it like it's hot, one more time.
-
May 11, 2015Bush is a high five of an album, made for hydraulic cars and throbbing dancefloors, delivered, in typical Snoop style, as if from a fur-lined throne overlooking a pool party.
-
May 11, 2015Business as usual, in this case, is no bad thing.
-
May 19, 2015The drawbacks to Bush are few and far between though, and even these complaints are more like minor annoyances.
-
May 12, 2015Even though Bush looks backward, it proves he is once again ahead of his time.
-
Jun 11, 2015All in all, Bush is another consistent release from Snoop to add to his portfolio, with enough freshness to still be spinning his name in the clubs.
-
May 28, 2015It may not be the most ambitious of albums and Snoop Dogg possibly spends more time singing than actually rapping, but the end result will ensure that he remains as relevant as ever.
-
May 18, 2015Snoop takes a surprising back seat, singing low in the mix and seldom rapping--an odd decision, but it works and when Bush is good, it’s an absolute joy.
-
May 14, 2015Aside from “Run Away,” none of the tracks on Bush are utter drag-and-recycle-bin drop material, the album is a surprising letdown from two legendary artists who have (literally) a platinum track record.
-
May 12, 2015From the moment opening track "California Roll" hits its "Drop It Like It's Hot"-ish bass line, Bush is a pleasant stroll down memory lane.
-
May 13, 2015While Bush is strong enough musically, you can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if this crew had followed R&G with a full-length a decade ago, when everyone involved was still in his prime.
-
May 14, 2015There isn’t anything outright offensive to the senses, but if you are a bit of curmudgeon Bush might strike you as a little corny.
-
May 12, 2015It's a quick listen, clocking in at less than 45 minutes, and the 10 tracks are laid-back--perhaps too much.
-
May 11, 2015For the most part, Bush is another re-hashed and tweaked Snoop album. It is expanding into new territory, but delivering the same result.
-
May 11, 2015As tame as Bush’s formula is, there are times when it works.
-
Q MagazineMay 29, 2015William's slick pop-R&B effectively smothers Snoop's signature drawl. [Jul 2015, p.113]
-
May 12, 2015All of the things that made Snoop Snoop--his effortless, laconic flow, clever wordplay, and narrative skills--are almost completely absent.
