Album Review: Bush - Black & White Rainbows

StarStarStar

"What Black & White Rainbows needs as an album is some more colour."

More Bush Bush

Black And White Rainbows is the seventh studio album from UK rock band Bush, with as much angst as their 1994 grunge debut Sixteen Stone but with more production and 22 years of band growth and development.

The album — written and produced by singer and guitarist Gavin Rossdale — isn't short of good songs about love and heartbreak, like slow-burning bass and guitar-heavy tracks Mad Love, Water, Lost In You and the more uptempo The Beat Of Your Heart, but what it does lack is dynamic and variation.

There are some great standalone tracks, but what Black And White Rainbows needs as an album is some more colour.
