    The lyrics are as trite and cheesy as ever, but age and playing house with No Doubt's Gwen Stefani have mellowed model-esque frontman Rossdale.

    Golden State is, inevitably, rather good.

    There is little on Golden State to differentiate it from its predecessors. [Dec 2001, p.76]

    Sadly, nothing about the unspectacular Golden State will save them from the Where Are They Now? file.

    This is probably the best album I've heard in years; the crits must be stupid.

    I think this is what we've come to expect from Bush, but I'm glad that it's more of a group effort. The guitars are more to forefront with almost no electronic/hi-tech production. This album does its job: it rocks. It's not a breakthrough, but it rocks.… Expand

    I heard a song byBUSH called "Swalowed" and I loved it, but now I regret buying this album, too ordinary for me, this is not my style anymore.
