i have not listened to this in over a year, and i feel like it has aged really well. i know everyone here generally thinks garbage sucks pretty hard, but it's a nicely done pop album, i think.

Parade is still great, too.

beautifulgarbage is a really good pop album. Underrated of their albums. Garbage kicks ass. One of the best live bands I've ever witnessed

Untouchable was almost enough to make me destroy the CD

cup of coffee was pretty bad. This albums main failure is that it isn't consistent..it just doesn't work as a whole piece

This thread reminded me of that Metallica cover of "only happy when it rains" or whatever that Garbage song is called. Brought the lols. They were a bit flat when I saw them at what was my first BDo a few years back. Meh.

Shirley has a new album out soon, which I'm sure BC had a hand in writing

Manson has collaborated with a number of people on the project including fellow Scottish songwriter Paul Buchanan, US rock musicians Jack White, Billy Corgan [3] and Beck,

Garbage haven't produced so much as a good track, let alone a solid album, since Version 2.0

Tell Me Where it Hurts is the best track since Version 2.0, and it is very, very good. if you gave up on garbage that long ago you might not have heard it. check it out.

I just listened to it, and it sounds like a second-tier Pretenders track over which someone laid some synthy drums and strings. It's the same kind of half-hearted blandness that polluted their last two albums.

speaking of the pretenders, i really want to hear 2000 Miles right now.

I adore Garbage and I think the new single pretty much sucks.

Best tracks on BLM are Bad Boyfriend & the title track. Listen to those, Ghetto Squirrel.

That first album, though...man, it still is unique and awesome. And I'll admit, it works better as a whole than their last two records.
I think one of the things that made the debut so cool was that it was made from the perspective of sounds, noises & studio tricks, by producers. Now, it's possible they're in a "rut" of being songwriting musicians. They oughta try more fooling around in the studio with weird shit. Put a kitchen sink and a junk drawer back into their music. That might reinvigorate them aethetically & creatively.

Bad Boyfriend isn't very good.

i've never heard a good garbage song. there was this station here that used to play them now and then and they annoyed the hell out of me. i don't have an album of theirs though.

they dont make songs just a hook they constantly repeat and you have to wait for during the verses

i loved their first 2 albums. beautifulgarbage was interesting and had a few good tracks (cherry lips, androgyny, parade), and bleed like me was well... a bit like zeitgeist for SP - listenable overall and a grower but by no means classic or groundbreaking. the new single from absolute garbage is bad.

Run Baby run is repetitive as hell and goes sonically nowhere. Nice try.
