Garbage

Version 2.0

Take Some Techno Out Of Prodigy And Add Melody

Review Score:

(8/10)
Shirley Manson is a fabulous singer, as she made clear in her first album, but then she went and topped herself with this masterpiece. While her first one was more slow and depressing, this CD has many more fast beats and clever lyrics. Also not as poetic, but great for dancing to.

00001> Temptation Waits - this song seems a little corny at first, but once you get into it, its hard to stop.

00002> I Think I'm Paranoid - my personal favorite. When you first hear it it might seem bubble-gummy and bouncy, but when the guitars kick, in its pure genius. Perfect for dancing.

00003> When I Grow Up - has imaginative lyrics and fantastic guitar melodies, with good sound from the lead lady herself.

00004> Medication - one of the slower songs, but very powerful. Shirley sings low and sweet, and almost makes you want to help her.

00005> Special - My second favorite, a song about revenge and true feelings. A very good song to scream at your ex. Not that I would know.

00006> Hammering in my Head - Fast beat, rubber-band vibration, makes you hyper and want to freak-dance.

00007> Push It - hard to explain, its a song that's both fast and slow at the same time. Exceptional vocals.

00008> The Trick is to Keep Breathing - Another slow song, not quite measuring up to the others, but still pretty good.

00009> Dumb - Angry-girl song that boils your blood.

00010> Sleep Together - Slow, vibrating rhythm that resounds in your head.

00011> Wicked Ways - the reason that I gave this album only 4 stars-I absolutely hate the beginning, the biker-chick beat. As the song continues, however, it's really not that bad.

00012> You Look So Fine - Slowest song on the CD, and one of my favorites. Shirley Manson purrs sexy lyrics, making it an awsome addition to this record.

Definetly my favorite CD, even though she's gotten a little bouncy-beat on me.
