Sixteen Stone is the debut studio album by English rock band Bush, released on 6 December 1994 by Trauma and Interscope Records. It became the band’s most popular album, peaking at number four on the US Billboard 200 and boasting numerous successful singles. “Comedown” and “Glycerine” remain two of Bush’s biggest hits to date, each reaching number one on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. “Comedown”, “Machinehead”, and “Glycerine” were the three songs from the album to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching number thirty, number forty-three, and number twenty-eight, respectively. The album was certified 6× Platinum in the United States by the RIAA on 16 April 1997. Although notably less successful in the band’s native Britain, the album was nonetheless certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry.

Featuring a rock sound characterised by guitar distortion and quiet interludes, the album quickly invited comparisons to Seattle grunge bands; particularly Nirvana.

To mark its twentieth anniversary, a remastered edition of the album was released on 14 October 2014.Bush’s grunge-by-the-numbers is certainly well produced. Under the guidance of Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley — the kings of early-’80s British pop — Bush turn in an album that follows all the rules and sounds of American hard rock, specifically Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Their songwriting isn’t original, nor is it particularly catchy. What makes “Everything Zen” and “Little Things” memorable is the exact reproduction of all of Nirvana’s trademarks, only with a more professional execution. In other words, all the guitars keep rhythm perfectly and Gavin Rossdale doesn’t shred his throat when he sings, he projects from his diaphragm. As far as popcraftsmanship goes, it’s actually quite impressive. It would be even more so if they had songs to accompany their sounds. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
