| The album has some great tracks on it, but those that aren't sound like everything else that came out at the time. Not a bad album, but far from essential. |

 "A Good Post-Grunge Era Album & Some Great Gems To Go Along" | 2008-05-07 |
| - Reviewed By nirvanarhcp |
Bush released their self-debut album across seas in 1994,while Grunge was fading from the lime light, following the grunge movement they inspired the term 'post-grunge'. In Cloning the slow thick grunge format they brought some gems to the table such as the modern rock staple "Everything Zen" (Track 1), and power house "Machinehead" (Track 7).
Bush never really brought anything new to music industry but gained fortune from polishing the eras style and doing it in a fashionable manor. With the first few lines sung in "Glycerine" one could easily misinterpret it as Nirvana (vocally speaking, not so much the general slow orchestral tune).
Most of the album free flows but dabs into too lengthy of song durations and unnecessary tracks, but overall the first few listens hold up quite well in the general scheme of things.
"X-Girlfriend" is a nice little punkish pepped track to end the album, but this suffers from being too short. Unfortunately the songs are either too long or too short (again as previously mentioned), if balanced would of definitely benefited in the bands case. "Alien" is probably the best example of a dragged on song, slow kind of goes no where.
Overall the album holds up enough to have some replay value and not just for the singles, the lyrics are not the greatest but pass. "Sixteen Stone" is a bargain buy album.

| 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." |

| 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. |

| 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". |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| "One of the best hard rock/grunge cds ever." | 2007-08-02 |

Bush hit it big right when I was getting into hard rock and metal, back in junior high. Five hit singles propelled this album into the stratosphere, and it became one of the most-played albums of the decade. They deserve a place right along Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. While I believe all of those bands to be superior in talent and had more impressive careers, Bush was great on 16 Stone and Razorblade Suitcase. Those two albums made them one of the biggest bands of the 90s.
Buy this album for the hits, but I think you'll be surprised that every song is worth your time. "Everything Zen", "Little Things", "Comedown", "Machinehead", and "Glycerine" are all classics. For those who complain about the lyrics: I say it's not what you sing but how you sing it. And I think that applies well, because Gavin is a talented vocalist who comes up with great vocal hooks. The lyrics might not be the best, but that is a trivial matter to me. This is a must-have cd for anyone who likes hard rock and grunge. |
