Sixteen Stone

Sixteen Stone is the debut studio album by English rock band Bush, released on 1 November 1994 in the United States and on 8 May 1995 in the United Kingdom through Trauma and Interscope Records. Featuring a rock sound characterised by guitar distortion and quiet interludes, the album quickly invited comparisons to Seattle grunge bands, particularly the recently disbanded Nirvana. The purported similarities between the band's sound and Nirvana's was the subject of significant media attention. Lyrical themes on the album included adversity and criticism of masculine stereotypes, as well as relationships and terrorism. Sixteen Stone has been considered the band's most popular album, peaking at number 4 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 1 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 30, number 43, and number 28, respectively. The album was certified 6× Platinum in the United States by the RIAA on 16 April 1997.
