Free Music Notes for Version 2.0
Free Music Review: Garbage rox!
Hit: 5 Stars
The second I heard the first CD, I knew I was a huge fan, but I didn't expect the second CD to be even close or as some might say even better! A lot of bands or singer's music gets really bad or just dosen't measure up to the first album, but Garbage has maintained the same super-catchy, grungey-alternative songs that I LOVE! You should definitely check out Garbage if you are into alternative, grungey music that is all ROCK and really catchy. I mean EVERY SINGLE SONG on the first AND second album was equally FANTASTIC and I am totally not exagerating. I am telling, you BUY this CD and the first one too, it is SOOOOO great. Trust me, you'll love it. If you asked me what my fave song is, I could definitely not pick, cuz they are all my fave! Garbage's music is phenominally fantastic! The lyrics are great and they have depth and meaning. Garbage is my totally and completely favorite band ever. They rock! BUY BOTH THEIR CDS I GUARUNTEE TOTAL GENUINE SATISFACTION. And on a final note, no I am not an amazon.com salesperson, I just LOVE Garbage!Free Music Review: Queer
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember first seeing the video for "Queer" in 1995. This is what introduced me to what would become one of my new favorite bands. I am reminded of The Eurythmics mostly. Both in style and imagery. That's a great compliment to a band. Version 2.0 is, I believe, a notch above Garbage's debut. While their debut was very strong, Version 2.0 is more uptempo and the melodies are catchier. Great songs like "Temptation Waits", "I Think I'm Paranoid", "When I Grow Up", "Medication", "Special", "Push It" and "The Trick Is To Keep Breathing" make up half of this classic recording. Nowadays there aren't many bands that can make a great cd in its entirety, let alone half a cd. Garbage proves they could make two cds of strong material (and they have!) Despite the mainstream ignoring them, this band will be around for years to come I think. Who needs the mainstream when you have fans that enjoy your music and buy your cds? This is a must have for any rock collector.Free Music Review: Definitely their best and most polished
Hit: 5 Stars
I definitely think this is Garbage's best album. This album is great from start to finish. It is more polished than their self titled debut and sounds fuller. At the same time, this is probably a result of production which maybe why I like this album better than the others. However, the real standout work of this album is the lyrical quality. Songs like "Medication" and "Temptation Waits" are great lyrical songs while songs like "Special" and "I Think I'm Paranoid" are great to sing a long to. "Special" is perhaps the best song on the CD because it has it all.
So are there any negatives. Well perhaps a negative aspect is that it doesn't feel like a band but a pop band. I also find that the songs are all very similar in sound. Of course, there is a fine line of how diverse an album can be and part of my complaint about the more recent Beautiful Garbage is that it is not cohesive enough. This album is cohesive and I hardly feel the need to skip a track anywhere.
Free Music Review: Garbage Definitely Isn't Garbage!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've had this album for quite a while now, and I listened to it again a few days ago, and I got to say that this album is just as excellent each time I listen to it. It's a far cry from Shirley Manson's 'Angelfish' days! This album is my favorite of Garbage's and the music and singing explains why; it's excellent. All the songs are very tight, much more so than in the 'Garbage' album; the songs on that album were "loose", if I may say so, compared to those on 'Version 2.0'. The first album is great too, but this one is much better. Many of the songs you can really mosh to, like 'Temptation Waits' and 'I Think I'm Paranoid'. Even with 'Special' you can mosh a little bit. Garbage has a great alternative style to them with eerie sounding instrumentals and a nice female voice courtesy of Shirley Manson. By the way, if you like Tori Amos, you probably will like Garbage, especially with this album, because Tori and Shirley have somewhat, although VERY somewhat, similar sounding voices. Enjoy!Free Music Review: Punk-pop's cyber-Beatles continue to refine the formula that propelled the band's superlative 1995 debut album
Hit: 5 Stars
Punk-pop's cyber-Beatles continue to refine the formula that propelled the band's superlative 1995 debut album . The instrumental/ production triumvirate of Butch Vig, Duke Erickson and Steve Marker is among the smartest sonic architectural firms in contemporary music: Their mix of sweet-sharp melodies, elegant dynamics, tricky samples and triggered effects, and layered, lush, assaultive sound is as sophisticated as any on the market (and they can duplicate it all onstage!).
The group's smart-bomb is Scottish frontwoman Shirley Manson, whose forceful dominatrix/ masochist persona is unique among the horde of soft-in-the-center gal-rockers coming to the fore today. At her best, she's the equal of a sublime progenitor (and obvious influence) like Chrissie Hynde .
The album deepens with each listen; first-album fans should warm immediately to "Temptation Waits," "Medication," "Sleep Together" and the pop-savvy gemstone "Special." Really, there isn't a better band playing right now!
