So in the string of new singles getting released every day and the host of 90's alternative rock acts doing their best to throw their hat into the ring Bush are back people.....Yeah Bush you know those guy's that did that Glycerine song that still get's some decent radio play to this day and made one classic of a debut in the form of one 16 Stone which admittedly wasn't the most original album of all time and will never be held as highly as Stone Temple Pilots first record which honestly was as much a time and place of a record with plenty of grungy alt rockers that weren't too different from what you'd expect from rock at that time, but that's irrelevant because we're talking about Post Grunge's finest here RIGHT?!?!?!?
Ok let's be real here their last attempt at a comeback single admittedly came off as a kind of semi piss poor Science of things B-side sounding tune that I personally have grown some fondness for even if it's honestly just barely sub par compared to the stuff they put out on an album that barely was as decent as their first and leaps and bounds above Razorblade Suitcase. Even with that the last album also yielded The Sound of Winter which just completely made me lose interest in them.
Fast forward to today and this newest offering from them, "The Only Way Out," which let's be fucking real is a Post Grunge tune through and through and instead of sounding like a B-side of an album that was a decent step in the right direction this one feels like Golden State Era Bush through and through which is not a very good thing, but even in it's generic post grungy Bush imitating Bush sound it's honestly grown a tiny bit on me and while it's leaps and bounds away from what the best they had to offer it's honestly a stronger tune then anything Gavin Rossdale did as a solo artist.
Can this group eventually get their footing back? Potentially but until that day I guess we could just always throw on a copy of 16 Stone but even so this song's honestly not too bad...
