    I really enjoyed this album - it's a nice mix of Rossdale's break-up processing and other less personal topics. "Water" is a particularly beautiful song.

    It never manages to rouse itself from a miasma of mid-tempo sameiness. Also, at 15 songs and 57 minutes, it is preposterously long, and your attention is likely to have wandered long before the insipid new age chords of final track People at War begin chiming away.

    Overall, Black and White Rainbows is an interesting piece of the Bush discography, hinting at a late-era trajectory shift and a reinvigorated spirit for Rossdale and company. While he nurses fresh wounds that have stripped his world of color, at the very least he can still see beauty and hope through the gloom.

    Bush are far from the abomination of media repute, but Black And White Rainbows won’t convert the long-term haters, and seems too torpid to mobilise a fresh generation of fans.
