Bush - Sixteen Stone

If you're not from England, I'll bet you didn't know that 16 stone is equal to 224 lbs.

Futurama Neutral

Early 1996 must have been an exceptionally slow time for new music because this week's album, Sixteen Stone by the English rock band Bush, took roughly a year to reach #10 on the sales chart. This album featured several singles I remember hearing contemporaneously including Comedown, Glycerine, and Everything Zen.

I have listened to Bush a decent amount, but interestingly I have listened to a different (and less popular) Bush album The Science of Things more than Sixteen Stone. My guess is that most of these The Science of Things listens are from before I subscribed to a music streaming service and I listened to that album because it's what was in my collection. Having listened to both albums a fair amount, I agree with the consensus that Sixteen Stone is the better album. I do recommend giving it a spin.
