Free Music Notes for Version 2.0
Free Music Review: FRESH OUT OF THE CAN
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw Garbage open for Alanis Morrisette in support of Version 2.0. It was like having the Beatles open for Milli Vanilli. If there is a better frontperson in rock than Shirley Manson, I dare say keep her away. I don't think I could take much better. This band is everything modern rock should encompass. The fact that their sophomore effort should shine as brightly as their debut only means modern music lovers are in for a long ride with this group. Production values as taught by studio genius Butch Vig is reason enough to buy this record. With Vig's uncanny ability to create massive side to side beats and atmospheric anomolies, each listen reveals hidden layers that seem to peel back to uncover new sounds. Shirley Manson combines class, sex and original feel to all of the material, demonstrating her abilities as a singer are only getting better with practice. Manson is undoubtedly about today, from fashionable good looks to interesting lyrical wordplay. But what is best about this band, and therefore this record, is the fact that each player dominates in their own way. Unquestionably, this is a team effort, with Manson leading to the goal. You can only bet their next effort will be a topper. If you like good music with great production and sexy singing, this is the collection you've been waiting for. Sweat it all out.Free Music Review: sorry i didn't finish my review here are 678 9 10 11 and 12

Hit: 5 Stars
I was never properly introduced to Garbage until early 2001, when I heard the song "Special." I thought very highly of it, with its infectious chorus and vintage sound - and of course the dazzling vocals of Shirley Manson. I had even planned to purchase one of their albums around the time, although for some reason I never got around to doing so.
Five years later however, the band somehow managed to re-enter themselves into my life. As a matter of fact, I just bought this CD last week, and I have trouble taking it out of my stereo. It's that good.
Version 2.0 kicks off with the upbeat "Temptation Waits," a brilliant dancepop/alt-rock combo that works hand-in-hand with its intoxicating chorus. Following is the lead single "I Think I'm Paranoid," complete with crunchy riffs and edgy lyrics. In the meantime, we have the tap-your-foot dance-rocker "When I Grow Up" as well as the aforementioned "Special." The band's electronic undertones take on a more dominant role in "Push It," as well as the chilled-off "The Trick Is to Keep Breathing," which could very well be my favorite of the bunch.
Put simply, Garbage is a classy, innovative act that any pop or rock fan owes themselves to check out. And it seems as though rarely people regret doing so.

The follow-up to their self-titled first CD, 'Version 2.0' isn't a repeat of 'Garbage', as the title might suggest, but rather a continuation of the great songwriting that made the first disc worth owning. In fact, this album takes the band's sound to new heights. This is alternative-dance rock hybrid at its finest.
"Dumb" and "Hammering In My Head" continue in the footstomping goodness that "As Heaven Is Wide" started on their debut. But not all songs are about heartbreak. "Sleep Together" is a sultry invitation for love between the sheets that makes you want a cigarette afterwards, even if you don't smoke. "Special", the big radio hit, is a rather kind kiss-off song that doesn't make the subject of the song out to be a bad guy, but rather a soul worth redeeming, even if it's not by Ms. Manson herself. And "Wicked Ways" is a swanky ode to misbehaving, despite efforts to try to be good.
Two of these songs, "Hammering In My Head" and "Sleep Together" will sound familiar to you because they have been used in car commercials. The ads stopped short of having Shirley's vocals in them, so you were left wondering who did the song. Finally putting a name to the tunes is an added bonus to buying this disc.
Altogether, 'Version 2.0' is the best Garbage in the bin!
Free Music Review: Garbage needs more recognition in the mainstream
Hit: 5 Stars
This is possibly the best Alternative-rock album of 1998, althugh it did not get as much recognition of it's predisesors. It came out the day after The Smashing Pumpkins latest effort "Adore" (which is also an excellent album) which could have caused somewhat of race for record sales since they are equaly matched groups that attract the same gener of fans. Being nominated for Grammys and MTV music video awards was an excellent achievement and proves Garbage's staying point with their fans."Push It" (their frequently nominated high quality special affects video and 1st single), "I Think I'm Paranoid" (featured in the "Mod Squad" Sndtrk. and extemely sexy video), "Special" (most popular top 40 hit and TRL video), and finally "When I Grow Up" (featured on the "Big Daddy" Sndtrk. and latest video) have been the released singles and have so far came out with a somewhat satisfying approval by today's mainstream teen America but even more so with persons ages 20-30. If you really liked Garbage's 1st self titled album but your ready for some really deep techno inspired beats and soothing sexy vocals flowing from Shirley's mouth, you should really go out and by this album. DO IT NOW!
