A solid follow-up!

Review Score: (10/10)
Being a huge fan of the first album, I hoped Garbage's follow-up "Version 2.0" would at least match it. Luckily, it went beyond my expectations. After listening to the first song from the album, "Temptation Waits", I could have pretty much been listening to the band recite the phone book and still be impressed. But the other songs are great nonetheless, ranging from the downright manic ("Hammering In My Head", "Push It") to the beautiful ("The Trick Is To Keep Breathing", "You Look So Fine") to the popish ("Special", "When I Grow Up"). It's a great album, and an impressive follow-up for the band.
