Garbage

Version 2.0

Garbage goes Electronica

Review Score:

(10/10)
This has to be one of the best albums of the decade. I bought it because of the single "Special," but i've now grown to love all of the songs.

TEMPTATION WAITS The title alone is great, but the song is even better. Has a great chorus. ("you come on like a drug/i just can't get enough/i'm like an addict coming at you for a little more.")

I THINK I'M PARANOID Has some interesting music to it, but it really picks up when the chorus comes in. Great song.

WHEN I GROW UP Great song. They used it on the Big Daddy soundtrack, so it's definately good.

MEDICATION This is one of my favorite songs ever. Kinda has a gothic feel, but it's still good. ("I don't need an education/i've learned all i need from you/they've got me on some medication/my point of balance was askew/it keeps my temperature from rising/my blood is pumping through my veins.")

SPECIAL One of the biggest hits of the album. Uses an excerpt from the Pretenders "Talk of the Town." Very good.

HAMMERING IN MY HEAD Very good song. It's kinda long though, and has some sexual feel to it.

PUSH IT Very, very good song. Even though they borrow lyrics from the Beach Boys "Don't Worry Baby" but they pull it off excellently.

THE TRICK IS TO KEEP BREATHING One of the slower songs on the album, but it's really good.

DUMB This is the electronic song. It starts off really, really fast, then slows a bit. It's really good.

SLEEP TOGETHER Really good song. All of them are. But this one has an easy chorus: "If we sleep together/will i like you better?"

WICKED WAYS This song kinda sounds like a country/rock song at the beginning, but gets better at the chorus.

YOU LOOK SO FINE My favorite song off the album. It's really haunting, but in a good way. "you look so fine/i wanna break your heart and give you mine."
