Free Music Notes for Version 2.0Free Music Review: My personal favorite Garbage album Hit: 5 Stars
Actually, the reason for 2.0 to be my favorite isn't because it's least poppy, but it has more variety and Shirley's voice, along with Vig's drumming and the members' riffs are very intriguing. From the start to finish, it has nothing wrong that I hear. "Hammering in my Hand" and "You Look So Fine" are the highlights of the album. Actually, this does still have similarities to the debut, but I prefer it more, even though that one had "milk" on it and this one didn't. However, I love the band's music so much, I couldn't rate this less than a five, along with the debut. The pop sensibilities are also memorable, with songs like "Medication". If you don't have this album, you're no music fan!!! One of the best albums of the '90s, even though I prefer Weezer's blue album, Gravity Kills's first album, and a few other modern rock classics. Influenced by grunge, industrial, techno, pop, heaviness, and new wave, you just can't go wrong with Garbage. 'Nuff said.
Free Music Review: What can I say? Well, how about IT'S THE BEST IN THE WORLD! Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best CD in the world! It's a great follow-up of their fantastic 1995 self-titled album, "Garbage". If you haven't bought it yet, you must be out of your mind or something! The whole CD is full of great music to soothe you and lyrics to amaze you. And another thing: They write all their songs which is more than I can say for some particular boy-band we all know... But, I won't mention any names (uh-hem! *N SYNC! ). I really like the songs "Temptation Waits", "Push It", "When I Grow Up", "Trick Is To Keep Breathing", and "Sleep Together", but my very favorite is "You Look So Fine". It's such a beautiful tune with such beautiful lyrics. The piano solo is very neat and very beautful, calm, and soothing. Don't get me wrong, ALL the songs are great and I like them all, but "You Look So Fine" is my favorite and just stands out. 5 STARS, BABY! I can't wait till your next album comes out!
Free Music Review: Funky Hit: 5 Stars
Those of you who found yourselves mysteriously drawn to the dark sexuality of Garbage's debut might not get what you expect from their follow-up--at least at first. But a closer listen reveals that VERSION 2.0 is actually much closer to the true Garbage sound. The reason: Where GARBAGE was already more or less completed when Shirley Manson signed up, 2.0 allows her much more freedom to control the group's sound. The distorted guitar hooks, loops and industrialized production thatdefined Garbage's sound on their debut are still present, but tempered by Ms. Manson's strong pop sensibilities. If you listen closely, you can even catch hints of Blondie and the Pretenders. (They quote the Pretenders "The Talk Of The Town" in "Special".) And while it isn't exactly the Spice Girls or Hanson, 2.0 is a much more upbeat, happy-sounding album. Instead of appealing to the brooding, listen-alone-in-your-room-with-the-lights-out crowd, 2.0 is aimed straight at the dance floor.
Free Music Review: Just let Shirl take you away..... Hit: 5 Stars
The first time that I heard the debut album 'Garbage', I instantly fell in love with this band. This effort runs along the same guidelines as the first with the enegry tracks ('I think I''m Paranoid', 'Push It') in the first half and then the quieter, smoother tracks towards the end. This second half is where I feel that Garbage really come into their own. My personal favourites 'The Trick Is To Keep Breathing' and 'You Look So Fine' (of American Pie fame) allow you to just close your eyes and imagine Shirley's vocals picking you up and carrying you away, the only unfortunate thing is that these tracks have to stop because there isn't enough space on one CD!I probably prefer this album to 'Garbage' but then everyone has their own opinions, either way it's still an excellent album that continues to surprise people who regard the band as 'heavy'. In short this is an album that everyone should at least listen to and then once you have, you'll probably end up buying it.
Free Music Review: Sheer Brilliance Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a Garbage fan since 1996 when I first heard "Only Happy When It Rains". As wonderful as the debut album was, Garbage really outdid themselves with this one. Garbage are a breath of fresh air in today's music industry; setting their own trend and creating their own unique sound. If you're reading this and have never purchsed a Garbage album, get this! It's rock, it's alternative, it's techno, it's happy, it's sad, it's angry, it's AWESOME!!! It includes what I consider to be one of the greatest rock ballads ever, "You Look So Fine". This song literally sends shivers up my spine when I hear it full blast on my stereo! Other highlights are "I Think I'm Paranoid", "Push It", "Special", "Medication", "The Trick Is To Keep Breathing"...Oh, man, the whole thing rocks! After you get this one, get the debut album, and then the "beautifulgarbage" album, then you're ready to start hunting down their 30+ b-sides, all of which are very good. Garbage RULES!!!
