    Essentially this an Institute album. The reason I make that statement, is the album is chasing after colorless nu-metal loudness, and Gavin Rossdale trying his least to change his game up, his flat hookless delivery makes every single song a drag, adding to his self parody, is his lyrics being bizarrely non sensical yet generic.

    Flipping the unevenness and sonic confusion of their three 2010s albums on their heads, Bush take this opportunity to prove that they've still got enough in them beyond '90s nostalgia.

    The Kingdom is Bush at their most confident. [Jul 2020, p.89]

    The Kingdom is a healthy and dynamic record, leaning toward a heavier sound that is majorly consistent. And Rossdale’s piecemeal, emotive style of songwriting serves the record well, leading with heart and less structure or obligation.
