1) Amazon.com
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Nirvana should've been quite flattered by Sixteen Stone. The English quartet perfectly mimics the early '90s grunge sound with this '94 release. As for Kurt Cobain comparisons, singer Gavin Rossdale has a captivating voice, but lyrics are not his forte, as the splintered ramblings of "Everything Zen" indicates. (Gotta do better than "There's no sex in your violence.") The players meanwhile produce a perfectly competent approximation of their Northwestern heroes. "Little Things" is a successful rewrite of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" while "Machinehead" crunches like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. In fact, the whole album feels like a throwback to 1992. Sixteen Stone may be derivative, but it's catchy as hell, too. --Rob O'Connor

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Classic   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I bought this CD back in the 90's when it first came out and I still listen to it all the time. Every song on it is awesome, none of them feel like they're just on there to fill up space. I've been pulled over a few times for speeding while listening to "Machinehead."

2) I knew Mr. Gwen Stefani when...   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Yep. I knew Mr. Gwen Stefani when he was known as Gavin Rossdale. In those days he fronted this band Bush who had numerous grunge inspired hits --- a sort of Nirvana light, if you will --- but don't mistake what I've said as a slight, this was one hell of a talented band --- well, a talented band that turned out to have a rather unfortunate name when a certain well-known political figure came on the scene and ruined just about everything. Anyway, don't under estimate this album --- it's easily one of the most likable and listenable albums of the 1990s.

3) Greatest CD of the 90's   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Sixteen Stone is the best CD of the 90's because Bush was the best band of the 90's (they beat Nirvana at their own game). Sixteen Stone offers everything you could ask for from a 90's rock album. Buy it - "there's no sex in your violence".

4) Buy It!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Sixteen Stone is probably my favorite album from all of the 90s. It's likely the band's best work. Some CDs you buy because you like the single that's one the radio. In fact, that's why I bought this album to begin with. Sometimes you find that it's the only good song on the CD and sometimes you find that every other song is just as good. This album is certainly an example of the latter. Buy this CD. You must own it.

5) Great stuff!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This, along with Golden State, seems to be the best example of their work in rock. If you purchased Golden State and are looking for more great Bush music, get this one next. I've been a Bush music fan for a long time, so I actually listened to this a while ago.
