Golden State is the fourth studio album by the British rock band Bush, released on 23 October 2001 through Atlantic Records. It is the last Bush album to feature Nigel Pulsford and Dave Parsons on guitar and bass, respectively. Bush would not release another studio album again until ten years later with The Sea of Memories (2011). The liner notes of Golden State cite the album in memory of Ian Lowery, founder of Folk Devils. In the documentary Making Of Golden State, the title is revealed as being inspired by the Golden State Freeway, which Gavin Rossdale used to use to get home.
Following the raw, Steve Albini-produced Razorblade Suitcase (1996) and the electro-tinged hard rock of The Science of Things (1999), Golden State was considered by Stephen Thomas Erlewine to be a return to the band's style from 1994, when they released their debut album Sixteen Stone.[3]
