Bush's 'Science' is a confusing mix

By Abraham Mahshie | January 25, 2000

It seems that three years and an Irish sabbatical couldn't provide the spark of creativity to push lead singer Gavin Rossdale's "The Science of Things" to "Sixteen Stone" caliber.

Before I listened to Q-Tip's new Arista release, "Amplified," I had already heard a lot about it -- "Q-Tip sells out his Tribe." "Q-Tip goes Gangsta." "Q-Tip falls flat." But as the (also very cool) Dude says in "The Big Lebowski," "That's just like, your opinion, man." I say "Amplified," the debut solo release from the savvy Tribe rapper, flows like only Q-Tip can.

This thriller set in 1950s Italy is one of the year's creepiest, most unusual films. Damon stars in the title role as Tom Ripley, a Manhattan lavatory attendant.
