Free Music Notes for Version 2.0
Free Music Review: More mature look at Garbage
Hit: 5 Stars
Seven words: "I want Shirley Manson to adopt me." Why? Because she exudes the powerful, seductive, and charismatic character that makes Garbage a force to be reckoned with. In addition to the radio-friendly "Push It" and "Special", Garbage shows a similar but more mature scope of musical stylings in this, their sophomore effort following their self-titled debut. My personal favorites: "Temptation Waits", "When I Grow Up", "Medication", and "You Look So Fine."
Seeing them live made me just love them more, and I think first-time listeners will immediately appreciate the mystical powers of this electrically-infused band by just listening to this album. If everyone listened to it and heard Shirley speak to them the way she speaks to so many through music, I think everyone would want Shirley to adopt them.
Free Music Review: Garbage Version 2.0
Hit: 5 Stars
This is almost as good as the debut album if not better, the diffrence is that the sound had become a bit more poppier and happy, a little more techno influented too on "Version 2.0. (Check "Push it" and "Hammering in my head"). The songs are just as strong though and the lyrics as well, Shirley Manson had more influence in the sound then on the first album i think, her voice is wonderful and make the songs reach another level. "Push it" and "I Think Im Paranoid" are catchy up tempo songs while "Special" is a wonderful ballad that was even grammy nominated, "You look so fine" is yet another great ballad. All of the songs could have been single released cause they are more or less equally good. Garbage is not your average pop band, they make pop-rock but it's smart and entertaining. Another great 90's album i fully recommend.Free Music Review: a fave

I have been a Garbage fan ever since I bought their first album back in '96. They obviously put a lot of effort, energy and thought into the debut album, and they didn't get lazy with this one, either! Each album is excellent. "Garbage" (the debut) is more solid-every song is really good-not to mention "Stupid Girl," "Only Happy When It Rains," etc. which are awesome. Any shortcomings found on "Version 2.0" when compared to "Garbage" are almost made up for with "I Think I'm Paranoid," "Special," "The Trick is to Keep Breathing," and especially "PUSH IT." I'm 27, and if you ask me in 50 years I'll be 77 and still declaring my admiration and appreciation of "Push It," which is just one of the great rock songs of all time. This album is a must for any music lover! You'll love it!Free Music Review: Excelent

There is no way to express my love for this CD. The songs are dark, deep, and loud, just the way I like them. I originally heard Garbage in '98, but didn't give them a second thought. However, just days ago, I got "Special" stuck in my head while listening to my fav alt-rock radio station. I immedietly went to a music store and bought this CD-and haven't been dissapointed at all. My only *minor* complaint is that the lyric page only has about the first four lines of each song-I'm sure this can be fixed by visiting a fan web page and getting the rest of the lyrics. My personal favorites are "Sleep Together" and "Temptation Waits" and "Dumb" - Hell, all the songs are my favorites. This is the only album I've ever bought where I can stand to listen to all the songs! I am beyond pleased with this CD, and you should be too. ~NishanaFree Music Review: Uncommonly Worthwhile
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't normally go for the acidic tripe that passes for '90's depth - (it is usually pretentious beyond belief and substitutes neoluddite anti-establishment drivel for substance), but I caught Garbage's "World is Not Enough" and took a chance on this CD.Garbage pulls off a neat trick - inserting nihlist, cynical lyrics into an energetic, but not quite dance-club format. While I shudder to think that there are real human beings that may encounter Ms. Manson, the naive elegance she brings to her music is priceless.
Sum total: Version 2.0 is brutal and somehow comforting. This is about as close to substance as popular music has been in a while. If you dig classic rock / early metal, but can't stand to hear "Comfortably Numb" one more time - and indulged a secret pleasure in listening to New Wave ala "Melt With You" or (even) "Lucky Number" then you may enjoy this CD.
