Please Consider

"This album is easily looked over however is worth the try. The band tried and failed with this one but I still think it's worth having in the collection. The fact it came out the same week as 9/11 didn't help matters. It goes from bubble-gum pop jumpy fun to 'stalker outside the window' out there. I give props to the band for shamelessly blurring the lines of sexuality and how it can be a issue for some. So pick it up- and listen ALL the way through; you'll thank me later. Thanks, Aaron."

"Garbage's third album is, without a doubt, their most underrated album to date. Released three weeks after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks it suffered from lack of promotion. Fortunately for Garbage fans, this album still delivered.



The number one complaint you will here about this album is it's departure of the musical styles of it's two predecessors - "Garbage" and "Version 2.0". However, when you compare all four of this bands albums you'll find that not one of them is very much alike; each has it's own unique sound and is capable of standing alone.



Anything negative you've heard about this album is completely false. Does it have a more "pop-friendly" sound to it? Of course it does, but Shirley Manson and Friends managed to make an album that screams "If you're going to do Pop, do it with style".



The following tracks really shine in the "Rocking the Pop" idea:



-Shut Your Mouth

-Til the Day I Die

-Silence is Golden

-Breaking Up the Girl

-Parade

-Nobody Loves You



However, "Cup of Coffee" and "So Like a Rose", though heart-wrenching, are easily two of Garbage's best songs to date.



The best song on the album? That's a matter of dispute because many fans differ on their favorite track, but one song that transcends the rest of the album is "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)". This is a song that proves Shirley Manson is capable of just about anything. This is a song that sounds like "Pop on Steroids". "Cherry Lips" is this reviewers favorite track from the album, and one of my favorite tracks from the band altogether.



You need to have this album if you are a Garbage fan (or just a fan of good music). Keep in mind, once again, that Garbage isn't known for sticking to what they're used to. All four of their albums differ in big ways, and all four are amazing. When you first give this work of art a listen, try not to think about Garbage's other three albums and you will be pleasantly surprised.



Beautiful Garbage wasn't listed in Rolling Stone's "Top 10 Albums of 2001" for nothing!

""Beautiful Garbage" is a slightly different path for Garbage. People who don't want anything to do with the earlier albums could really get into this one. This album has that New Mellenium trademark that blurred the lines that made each style of music it's own (1999-2001). Lots and lots of artists of many different genre's fused their music with this new trend and Garbage is one of them with this album. Some material on "Beautiful Garbage" is interchangeable with other artists that were experimenting with this same trend in that era, Such as Vitamin C's sophomore release (More) in 2001, P!nk's debut (Can't Take Me Home)in 2000 & TLC's 3rd release (Fanmail)in 1999. I also hear a modern grunge sound on some tracks that are remeniscent of the rock quintet "Splendora" from the Mid-90's and Madonna. This release took me by surprise with it's Mild Rnb and futuristic beats along with alot of the lyrics. In the head review they spoke about 60's girl groups being reminded, I can hear small samples of that sound in "Breaking Up The Girl" "Can't Cry These Tears" & The bridge in "Cherry Lips" and perhaps a few others in tiny amounts, Nothing drastic. "Beautiful Garbage" has a Universal & Exotic Appeal, I still enjoy this album in 2009. Many Garbage followers may not be too happy about this new trend grabing hold of the band, lots of you out there will be pi$$d-off with it. Some may even go as far to referring to it as Bubblegum *Pop*."
