The Science Of Things  by Bush

The Science Of Things was released in 1999 and is the third studio album by the British band Bush, marking a bold shift in their sound. The production was handled by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, who had also worked on their debut, though Gavin Rossdale was actively involved in co-production.

The record maintains the band's post-grunge roots but enriches them with electronic elements, drum loops, and synthesizers, lending a more experimental and "cold" atmosphere compared to the past. The result is a sleeker and more polished sound that balances heavy guitars with atmospheric soundscapes. Standout tracks included "The Chemicals Between Us," the album's biggest hit which dominated the charts with its strong electronic character; "Letting The Cables Sleep," a melodic ballad that gained significant radio airplay; and "Warm Machine," the dynamic opening track that combines classic grunge sound with new elements.

Despite legal disputes with their label (in March 1999, Trauma Records filed a massive $40 million lawsuit against the band accusing Bush of breach of contract, claiming the group refused to deliver the new album which had been ready since late 1998) that delayed its release, The Science Of Things reached No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum in the U.S. and Canada. Although it did not reach the massive numbers of their previous records, it is considered a commercial success.
