Bad girls everywhere agree...

Review Score: (10/10)
This is Garbage's best album to date. I love good music, I am a critic and I am a Garbage fan who buys all the B-sides and remixes I come across, so I feel qualified to say this.

It's also their most consistent and most accessible album (if you don't already have a penchant for unapologetically trashy pop music). Take the themes of darkness and self-destruction that angsty malcontents can't resist, add the electro-industrial pop hooks that club queens and teen punk-nouveau chicks can't resist, and you have 2.0. Almost every track on this release has a great hook. I'll let you decide which one is the throwaway.

Great hooks aside, though, what I love best about this album are its downtempo inclusions. "The Trick is to Keep Breathing" and "You Look So Fine" are two of my favorite ballads from any band, ever. But keep in mind, in my favorite stories the good guys usually lose and the guy and girl split up after a wrenching estrangement.

If you've ever succumbed to a dark carnal desire, only to be painfully reminded why you knew it was a bad idea in the first place, this album will speak to you. For everyone who has liked a Garbage song they heard somewhere and want to own some, this is the place to start.
