In the midst of the mixed feeling I am seeing all over the web a positive review of the Bush sound emerges. From a July 3rd article posted on Beatweek Magazine’s website:
Bush song “Afterlife” sounds just like 2010-era Bush should sound like
The new Bush single “Afterlife” won’t hit iTunes for another ten days, but Gavin Rossdale and the gang have posted a streaming version of the song to their website – which you have to log into with your Facebook account to hear. But fans of the band may find doing so to be well worth it, as Afterlife is instantly recognizable as being a Bush, but like Rossdale’s 2008 solo project, sounds like it belongs in the current century. Afterlife is also instantly catchy enough that it’s almost certain to become a major radio hit, no small feat for a band that packed it in nearly a decade ago. Bush’s reunion, however, is no surprise – Rossdale told Beatweek back in 2008 that his solo project was originally intended to be a Bush reunion album. If you want to hear Afterlife right now on Bush’s official website, it’s right here.
