institute: distort yourself

i am a fan of the music group bush. i must admit that i came to the party a bit late. i wasnt really listening to that kind of music when they showed up on the scene. when i first got into them was actually after razorblade suitcase. unfortunately i had totally missed out on songs like come down and machine head. i went back and picked them up and really liked their first one, sixteen stone. i really got into them, for reasons i cant really explain, with the song the chemicals between us. i think it was the cool title of the album, the science of things, and the rad video for that song. but, i got that album and really dug it. years later they finally released a follow up with golden state. i didnt really care for it at first, but then it started to grow on me and i listened to it alot. actually, everytime i would play ssx3 video game i would put it on mute and listen to that album (i still instantly think of snowboarding every time i hear that cd) then the band broke up. doh...
i really dig gavin's stuff and was getting frustrated that he hadnt put any solo stuff out. his wife was getting all the attention, and the real musical genious of the family was playing second fiddle. well, finally this summer he released another album with a new band called institute. kind of a dumb name, but i can get over it. anyway, its totally awesome. ive had it in my car cd player for about the last month straight. it sounds exactly like bush, but the songs are so good, it sounds like a disc of bush's greatest hits.
