Free Music Notes for Version 2.0
Free Music Review: What a pleasant addiction...
Hit: 5 Stars
Having recieved my first Garbage album from a friend, I fell in love with an album who's name evaded me as did the formal song titles. I did some research to find out that I had been passed on Version 2.0, Garbage's wildly electric and delectably addictive second album. Shirley Manson's sultry vocals joined with the heart pumping rock-techno-dance fusion make this a must have CD. A well-rounded and commendable second album, Version 2.0 harbors a wide range of edgy styles, from the upbeat, catchy Temptation Waits, Special and When I Grow Up, which give us a more pop look at the album, we also find songs like Hammering In My Head, and Sleep Together which show us a provocative, sexy flash of stylistic gnius on Garbage's part. The heavy ballad Medication is every angsty teen's super anthem, and You Look So Fine and The Trick is To Keep Breathing present a sort of yearning feeling. Just what the doctor ordered, I say. Garbage's Version 2.0 has it all.Free Music Review: Sonically Sweet

On 1998's VERSION 2.0 Garbage moves from their grunge/synth sounding rock to a more electronica sound. It works quite well with Shirley's vocals, which are sexy and seductive, and take the listener on a journey. The guitar riffs are still there though, mixed with some heavy percussion and synth beats. The album opens with the superb "Temptation Waits" which really sets the pace and mood of the album, it has a killer chorus with addictive beats. However the highlight of the album for me is "You Look So Fine", the closing track. This is not an album for the casual listener, but it takes time to understand as their songs are full of so much depth. There is sophisticated pop on "Medication" and "Special". other highlights include "I Think I'm Paranoid", "Hammering In My Head", "Sleep Together" and more, although there is not one weak link or song on the album. Give this a try if you want an album that will blow your mind, its addictive!Free Music Review: Shirley Manson is hot... and I guess the music is good too.

Seriously, though, Garbage is an incredible group. Their combination of electronica and grunge has created what's probably best described as the 90s answer to Synth-Pop. They're loud, fast and have a beat that pulses with raw power and energy. Now, any group can have loud guitars and deep, fluid electronic beats. What Garbage has is something trully special, an incredible lead vocalist. Shirley Manson's vocals range from angry, to depressed, to sexy. They set the mood of each son in a way that mere backbeats and guitars can't. Garbage is a trully incredible combination of various talents. What's more, Version 2.0 demonstrates the band's talent far more so than their self-titled debut. 2.0 echoes with a harmony and pulse that the original album just didn't quite achieve. If you liked "Garbage" you'll love "Version 2.0". And if you haven't heard "Garbage", you need to.Free Music Review: beautifully put together

i bought garbage's first album a few years ago when it first came out, after a friend of mine had lent it to me. back then i listened to it non-stop, marvelling at how shirley manson could go from a snarl to seductress to an angellic voice, sometimes in the span of one song. when version 2.0 came out, i was in the record store that morning ready to shell out my money. knowing that super high expectations usually lead to disappointments, i tried to keep my excitement in check. as it turned out, there was no need to, cause this album more than exceeded them! more than a year later (and countless cd purchases), version 2.0 is still the first cd i reach for and pop in to listen to. garbage was a wonderfully raw first album, and i still love it, but version 2.0 is lush, and put-together in a way garbage wasn't. i've had the opportunity to see garbage live twice now, and i'd recommend it to anyone!Free Music Review: Absolutely Brilliant

Being 46, in the theatre/concert business and sorely jaded, finding very little of interest or originality in the current scene, I was literally riveted to the screen by this band's appearance on Letterman's show a few weeks ago. Tight as nails, tremendously powerful, a lead singer with pipes, dark avenging attitude, calm control and smoldering sensuality, she didn't overdue the posturing (as in guilty of flaunting it without having it, which is the case with most lead singers).....I went out the next morning (which I've never done, I don't think, you're supposed to buy music at night) and bought this cd. I was completely satisfied, it made my socks roll up and down. Brilliant stuff. There is hope. "I Think I'm Paranoid" at full volume is an astonishing experience. One of the few acts that delivers ferocity and fever through the ice cold technology of today. Great stuff.
