===''The Science of Things'' (1999–2000)===
Following the completion of touring, Rossdale went into seclusion in Ireland, where he worked on material for the group's next album, periodically sending demo tapes of his works in progress to his bandmates. The group finally convened to record in London in August 1998, where the band reteamed with ''[[Sixteen Stone]]'' producers [[Clive Langer]] and [[Alan Winstanley]].<ref>Uhelzski, Jaan.

The release of ''[[The Science of Things]]'' was stymied by a court battle between the band and Trauma Records. The case was settled in early 1999 and the album was finally released that October.<ref>Eliscu, Jenny.

''Rolling Stone''. 6 August 1999. Retrieved on 14 July 2009.</ref> ''The Science of Things'' was a major departure in several forms from Bush's first two albums. Like the multi-platinum successes of Bush's first two albums, this album also reached platinum status. Also, while the band's previous albums were strongly influenced by [[grunge]], ''The Science of Things'' featured some [[electronic music]] influences in addition to the sound defined by Bush's earlier work. For example, although lead single "[[The Chemicals Between Us]]" had a prominent guitar riff, it also had many electronic elements usually found in dance music. Although the album had a few hit songs, it failed to chart in the top 10.

The band's performance at [[Woodstock '99]], however, helped ''The Science of Things'' achieve platinum status despite its slow start. Three singles were released from ''The Science of Things'', most notably "[[The Chemicals Between Us]]", which spent five weeks at No.&nbsp;1 on the [[Modern Rock Tracks]] and peaked at No.&nbsp;67 on the US Hot 100. "Warm Machine" was the second single released. "Letting the Cables Sleep", the third single, reached No.&nbsp;4 on the Modern Rock Tracks and also received considerable airplay, and appeared in an episode of the medical drama series ''[[ER (TV Series)|ER]]''.
