These are the words of Gavin Rossdale in Bush's smash hit "Everything Zen" from their debut album Sixteen Stone.
Sixteen Stone is characterized by its heavy guitar sound, from the lead heard screaming through a hard rock frenzy to the echoing chords of a lonely bass line, but don't forget Gavin's lyrics.
Rossdale was featured in a recent Rolling Stone magazine issue with the caption under his picture reading "Why doesn't anyone take Gavin Rossdale seriously?" Many people claim that his good looks steal attention from his music and contribute to his lack of credibility from the industry.

Back around 1995 or so, when the English band Bush broke through on American soil with their brand of catchy hard rock, they were labeled by critics as "Nirvana wannabes," cashing in on the sound that at that time was just about guaranteed to bring you success.
Sixteen Stone went on to sell 6 million copies, and quite frankly, while I find it derivative, I still love it.
The songs from Sixteen Stone had barely been stopped at radio, which meant this album was oversaturation, and, I believe, is what killed a lot of the band's fans.

Though the album was extremely popular, Bush was never able toescape comparisons of being a watered-down Nirvana or Pearl Jam.
Areview in the Toronto Sun claims "The trouble with the rapid rise of any genre is that said genre will invariably be codified,its essence cynically reduced to a series of stylistic tics - a guitar sound here, a strategically ripped piece of clothing there- all easily reproducible, and all entirely beside the point."

 Bush: Sixteen Stone
Sixteen Stone, their debut album produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley (producers of early-'80s hits by Madness and Elvis Costello, among others), was released in late 1994 by Interscope Records.
By the end of December, Bush's "Everything Zen" video had landed in MTV's Buzz Bin and the album began to take off; by spring of 1995, the record had gone gold, despite a stack of bad reviews.
By that time, the band was successful enough in the U.S. to land a British record deal, although they weren't able to match their American success in the U.K. Over the course of 1995, Sixteen...

And though a chasm had already opened up before they came along, their quintuple-platinum debut, Sixteen Stone (Trauma/Interscope), with help from Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, permanently severed mainstream alternative rock from its indie/punk underground ancestry along with all the ideological baggage that came with those roots.
Thanks to Sixteen Stone, Bush and bands like their labelmates No Doubt inhabit a much wider pop-cultural sphere than the underground or even previous alternative rock ever addressed -- a place where arguments of authenticity and credibility seem sourly out of place.
Call it new wave '90s-style, or think of Bush as the Dave Clark Five of the next century; what's certain is that Bush marked a point of no return for the new rock mainstream.

Sixteen Stone is an album that's mostly been ripped off of Nirvana, who weren't very good to begin with, so things on this album obviously aren't very good.
I would guess you know the hits, but I'll talk about them anyway, since almost all of the others sound exactly the same to me. "Everything Zen" is catchy, and so is "Machine Head," which might annoy with what seems like endless repetition of "Breathe in, Breathe out" by the time the song has ended.
The only real surprise Sixteen Stone has to offer is the 45 second punk song "X-Girlfriend" which closes off the album.
