Product Description

From Amazon.com

Garbage's third album is an almost total departure for modern rock's renowned poster children. Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Duke Erickson, and Steve Marker robustly straddled the line between alternative rock and techno in their two efforts, whipping up two finely crafted CDs that captured the cultural mood of the late '90s. After six years in the saddle, they've shaken off the charge that they're a producer's creation and have emerged as a full-blown band. The band has also given up all pretext at being au courant and topical, instead combining '80s kitsch with '70s pop, with a stop along the way to worship at the altars of Phil Spector and Chrissie Hynde and even at times arriving at their own version of nu soul. "Shut Your Mouth" is raw and menacing and does as much for female empowerment as a Missy Elliott hit. "Can't Cry These Tears Anymore" is a modern take on Leslie Gore's "It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To), but with all the strangeness of Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. If there is a single theme to Beautiful Garbage (named after a line in a Courtney Love song), it's that smart girls don't put all their faith in love. The heroine in most of these 13 songs would rather kick a faithless lover in the, er, shins with her stilettos than pine by the phone. The "Stupid Girl" of the band's debut is now just a stupid memory. --Jaan Uhelszki

4.0 out of 5 stars not the best but.., Sep 1 2005
This review is from: Beautifulgarbage (Audio CD)
it is not the best garbage album. their is a few songs that weren't that great but still their are really catchy songs that make you smile. its a good album, but if you never heard of garbage and are thinking of buying a cd i suggest you buy their self titled album or version 2.0.

5.0 out of 5 stars New and old come together for a party of something unique, July 3 2004
This review is from: Beautifulgarbage (Audio CD)
I realize from the sheer volume of reviews, that a variety of points of view have already been introduced, but too many of them have been negative, for my liking.

I think this album is yet another incarnation of the indespensible versatility of this band. Each song is crafted in a way that hits home with me, whether emotionally or on a tonal level, in a way that few albums with popularity can hope to accomplish.

Some say they "went pop" but I just find this a clever way to leave their own imprint on pop...to twist it or perhaps pervert it, I could say, to their image. And that's a main reason I love it.

From the industrial faux-rap aimed at their hopeless deniers, right through to the very last, subtly spooky and mournful track, this album moves from place to place with the greatest of ease and grace.

They cover pop such as the delightful "Androgeny" and the snappy "Untouchable" and the irresistible "Cherry Lips (Go Baby, Go!), heavy metal/power pop with the painfully honest "Silence Is Golden" and "Parade", and heartbreakingly keen balladry such as the subtle songs "Cup Of Coffee" and "Drive You Home", the latter of which provoking my tears each time I listen to it.

Anyone who has misinterperated this album, really must give it a chance to unearth the true extent of its genius and cleverness.

One of the best albums of 2001. I can't wait to see Garbage's next incarnation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly catchy, Jun 18 2004

This review is from: Beautifulgarbage (Audio CD)
I can't say I'm acquainted with Garbage's first album, but this album prompted me to go out and buy their second effort. Both are excellent but very different. The great thing about this album is the array of different sounds the album boasts. This isn't one of those albums where somebody could complain that "all the songs sound the same." For instance, there are songs that clearly take their influence from the 50's and from the 80's. If you like female driven vocals for rock/pop, don't pass this one up!!
