Gavin Rossdale: Wanderlust review

SPIN THIS
GAVIN ROSSDALE:

WANDERLUST

(INTERSCOPE) *½

I miss Bush – the British rock band that exploded on the scene in 1994 with “Sixteen Stone,” an album of muscular, meaty anthems like “Little Things” and “Comedown.”

Everyone knows by now that frontman Gavin Rossdale gave up Bush to make beautiful babies with Gwen Stefani.

He also made a solo album that’s oddly compelling – if only because it’s so disjointed, much like its name, “Wanderlust.”

Rossdale is strangely subdued and bland for much of the album. But there are moments of something that you wish he had experimented with more, especially on “The Trouble I’m In” and “This is Happiness.”
