Free Music Notes for Garbage
Free Music Review: "I can take you out with just a flick of my wrist..."
Hit: 5 Stars
What a stunning debut from the band i know and love Garbage. I have to admit that my first album i purchased by garbage was version 2.0 (which i love), so after that i ran out and bought their debut and see how the band came about. 12 great tracks here, all worth a thousand and one listens to. This a very dark and angry album but in a fun and sarcastic way. Shirley Manson is a goddess of voice and words:"hey boy take a look at me, let me dirty up your mind, i'll strip away your hard veneer and see what i can find." from the song Queer. Another fabulous songs include only happy when it rains, not my idea, vow, milk, and of course their most popular song stupid girl (a timeless classic). The song A stroke of luck is so haunting and mysterious, i'm still a bit confused what this song is about but it is great:"You say that you'll be there to catch me or will you only try to trap me..." I like this album, very-understated than the rest of their albums. Nothing glossy or over-produced here, just very raw, emotionally-rattled songs that will make you think twice about ending a relationship with a strong-willed girl. Free Music Review: Great band, clever name!

While I was waiting in limbo between Debbie Harry's last solo album and Blondie's reunion album, into the void came a band that fit my need for great music perfectly.
This eponimous debut from the alternative rock band, Garbage, is the first album in a wave of new generation female-led outfits that took Blondie's example of how to make music from the feminine viewpoint and catapulted it into the rock stratosphere. Shirley Manson's lyrics are pure "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" delight. I don't know who hurt her, but I wouldn't want to be him!
Ms. Manson doesn't shrivel up over her broken heart, but instead comes out spitting and clawing like a wild cat seeking revenge against her former captor. With songs like "Vow", "As Heaven Is Wide" and "Not My Idea", Garbage turn her anger into danceable alt. rock and give the listener the feeling that Shirley and company know how he or she feels. The hit single "Stupid Girl" (not the same as Pink's new tune) takes aim at a woman who uses her shallowness to attract men only to throw them away like old kleenex. It's "Rip Her To Shreds" for the nineties.
All the way through, this album makes vengeance something to rock out to. If you've ever been through a break-up, you'll know just what these songs mean!
Free Music Review: One of the best CDs of the 90's
Hit: 5 Stars
When this CD was first released in 95 it may well have been the 1st great major label release since Nirvana's Nevermind led every label to turn all of their attention to any jerkwad in flannel.
What a shocking breath of fresh air it was then. Especially when you factor in the lineage of this band.
And guess what? It still holds up remarkably well. A truly great CD.

Hit: 4 Stars
I first heard about Garbage about 7 years ago, when they came out with the song 'Special'. The song had appeared on a 'Now' CD and at the time, I had really enjoyed the song. Unfortunately at the time, I was also eleven, and was too immersed in Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys to go out and buy a Garbage CD. Now many years later I've rediscovered the alternative rock genre that was going on when I was a kid in the '90s. Since I enjoyed the song 'Only Happy When It Rains' I decided to buy Garbage's debut CD on a whim. I'm pretty glad I did, because one of the miracles about this CD is there is hardly any filler at all. Almost every song probably had the potential to become a hit single. Garbage combined a lot of the elements that were being used in the '90s alt rock genre: sassy female singer, catchy hooks, grunge-sounding guitars, and bitter lyrics. The album starts off with 'Supervixen' a unqiue and empowering song that has interesting stop/start noises. 'Queer' undermines exactly what it means to be an outcast. 'Only Happy When It Rains' was the big hit from this album, a very tongue-in cheek song about the depression state of the '90s. 'As Heaven is Wide' has some of the most clever lyrics: 'As far from god/as heaven is wide/as far from god/as angels can fly. 'Not my Idea' is extremely catchy and Shirely Manson is able to pull off singing 'Dut dut dut dut dut dut do' without sounding corny. 'Dog New Tricks' is an empowering rocker while 'My Lover's Box' is longing and self-pitying. The closing track 'Milk' is haunting and longing, a great way to end the album. In short, if you are looking for an album that offers more than just the radio singles released, then I highly recommend this album.
