Garbage

Tuneless mock-rock that shamelessly cashes in on the sound of that era, but with total bollocks songwriting chops and soulless singing. I can't believe this stuff got airplay. Aptly named band. I'll not be listening to this band ever again.

Ok nothing spectacular

I thought it was pretty good but definitely not my genre of Choice

Very repetitive. Not particularly enjoyable

A pretty polished pop album with a couple of decent songs on there. However on the whole I found myself very bored while listening

Like a watered down, female version of NIN. Shallow and disposable.

Stupid Girl great song, don't rate the rest of the album

.

Quintessentially 90's sound, Stupid Girl by far the best song. The rest I could take or leave.

Nah

For an alt rock record, there are some interesting sounds being explored here. There's some NIN influence I think, given the timeframe and the drum loops mixed with darker guitar tones. Not explicitly industrial but you can hear some semblance of the genre. I don't think Shirley Manson's vocals aren't quite for me, but I can appreciate the songwriting. A very 90's record.

Not amazing but I don’t hate it. I am trying not to make the obvious joke about “garbage by name garbage by nature” I actually thought it was okay but not my usual sauce.

Meh

Kind of ok, but a bit samey and not much that is memorable. Style over songwriting substance? Stupid Girl is a banger though.

Very 90s. Ok but not sure why it's on this list

I liked this album but is too "simple". I know that maybe it was revolutionary for 1995, but nowadays it's just another indie rock band without anything great for me. Sure, I'm biased by the fact that I didn't know anything about Garbage, so I don't have any affective memory with it, but it's an album that I probably will forget tomorrow.

trash

If I came of age in the mid-90's, I definitely woulda been the type of guy who was asked "hey you listen to this new killer track by the wallflowers?" and I would have responded "ugh that shits garbage. And not the good kind of garbage like the debut album by the band of the same name". But I didn't come of age in the 90's and this album really doesn't do it for me.

so 90s meh + 1 for milk

In the Netherlands they had some 7 small hits. A nice album but I don't think I will give it a relisten.

Not garbage

rock punk pop ? nothing great

Just didnt do it for me

is it offensive? no. but just go listen to Curve instead. please. this is a popped up bastardization of the music i loved at the time.

Not sure what the fuss was...

very boring

Apt description - garbage

Kan något åldras sämre? Som en parodi på 90-talet

Det här var dåligt. En etta får det bli, men kanske min starkaste etta hittills. Nästan tvåa, men inte riktigt.

not really my kinda music

It's all in the name

Garbage

They got the right title 1

ew

very much not my style of music, it seems like it was game changing at the time but not for me

Es demasiado largo, pero más allá de eso, el género no me gustó para nada. Creo que es rock alternativo. Escuché la primera parte de un par de temas y no escuché más.

Aptly named album. “Vow” almost bumped this to a 2 star, but the bad songs are so bad 90s…

This album is garbage.

Not my favorite

Garbage.

The album title and band name sum it up perfectly

Repetitive and just not really enjoyable to listen to in my opinion

Not for me

“The queerest of the queer” yeah that’s you lol 😂 This band really lived up to their name with this one… nah not terrible haha but nothing memorable for me here personally. Thinking closer to 1.5

I rate this album 1/5 beach balls. Fuck Shirley Manson and her lame ass band.

Naporno do jaja 1/5, 1/10

Detritus

Over produced indie by numbers

Smells terrible.

Uh.

this is like if the band from Freaky Friday was real

It's not my vibe at all really but i could get behind some songs favs: 1 2 3

Nope

90s slop

Bit soulless to be honest, not a fan

90s movies soundtrack vibes - tried really hard to like it just not my thing. Fav song : Stupid Girl

Really don't like.

Alien Sex Fiend almost made me given this album a 2. Almost. Then the song kept going.

Dette var søppel

Garbage

1. zuper - 1 2. queer -1 3. rainz - 1 4. heaven - 0 5. idea -1 6. luck - 1.5 7. vouuu - 1 8. girl - 1.5 9. dog -1 10. boz - 1 11. fiz - 0 12. milk - 2

Not for me. However I can appreciate how iconic this album must have been when it was released and the impact it had on future generations of indie and rock artists

The name says it all…..GARBAGE!!!

Okay, this is the first one I feel I have enough context and familiarity to wonder why it's on this list. I liked it fine in H.S., but even then "Only Hair When it Rains" felt a little disingenuous, or at least like a lyric that's trying too hard and also not hard enough. It brings back some memories, but I don't know that I feel one *must* listen to it.

Total hoax, the product of focus groups and market research. Polishing every rough edge of the production to a sparkle is directly at odds with the attempt to be edgy. Shirley Manson plays the role of dominatrix, ingenue, crazy desperate girlfriend, sex doll. It is engineered for suburban teenage masturbation. You might as well go buy a T-shirt at the mall that says "I'm a rebel."

Compared to predecessors such as Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine Garbage is a boring droning mess. It possesses no memorable hooks and is buttressed by the well worn alternative music standby, fuzzy grinding guitars. You’re better served by listening to The Bends, Different Class by Pulp, or Bjork’s Post.

Garbage is right

Not into it.

Not interested.

Garbage

I can see why this was groundbreaking at the time, but there’s just nothing enjoyable about it for me now.

I like the synth noises they make. The rest of it is totally uninspiring, slightly edgy pop music. We were so cringe in the 90s (actually, you all were cringe. I was a wee baby). There are some interesting departures into instrumental breaks, but otherwise it's formulaic and all over the exact saaaame 4/4 beat. Like... everything is so boring, the lyrics, the composition, the riffs, the melody, the percussion especially, this album absolutely limps. I skipped most songs halfway through. Why did I need to hear this before I die?

Ist nicht meins

Ikke særlig stor fan. Bliver for ensartet efter bare to sange, men måske er punk-rock bare ikke min stil. Desuden bliver fraser som "I'm only happy when it rains" brugt som simpelthen er lidt tåkrummende.

vapse man nepatiko, net nepaklausiau normaliai, tipo nera gal bloga muzika, nu bet man toks zanras nu uh

Not to make the obvious joke, but for me it really is in the name: garbage. To quote a song on the album, “this is not my idea of a good time”. Truly did not enjoy this at all and in fact at one point genuinely yelled, out loud alone in my car, “I f*cking hate this!” I’ve committed to no skips so I stuck it out but it wasn’t worth it. Everything about it just annoyed me, the vocals, but I think especially the production and mix. The only track I found tolerable was Fix Me Now.

To me, this sounds like royalty free rock music with bad vocals layered over it. I struggle to find any redeeming qualities of any song in this album.

Garbage

3 На один очень долгий и мучительный раз. Куча заунывных треков с максимально однообразным звучанием и одним и тем же посылом

Not it boss.

Not my cup of tea.

First album of this project that I really, really disliked. It starts off well enough with some 90's grunge/garage rock and it devolves into a cheezy 90 movies action movie soundtrack that gets worse every single track. Couldn't take it seriously towards the end. Best Song: Run For the Hills Rating: 2/10 1 Stars

Real garbage

Garbage by Garbage was garbage.

Ok right off the bat I am nervous to hear this. I don’t like when the music has that weird screeching noise, and I definitely don’t like when the singers have that angsty voice. Let’s just say, they’re living up to their name.

Laughably more insincere, passionless, and fake than most of the so-called hair bands of the 80s. Sure some of these were big hits and when I saw this as today's album I felt a bit of nostalgia but after listening ... it actually sucks. I probably didn't notice at the time since I only heard the radio hits but listening decades later I just hate the sound of this album which combined with the completely generic at best mid-90s music... zzzz Absurdly specific complaint: the opening cut "Supervixen" - those terrible (and horribly edited, like wtf) full-stops are so fake, it's utterly obvious in the worst way that this is not the band stopping on a dime for a beat. Or even really a band. I like electronic music - I like "sterile" constructed-in-the-box compositions - but this sounds like a 7th grader put this together and it foretells the entire record. TL;DR: I didn't expect I'd hate this as much as I did today. In retrospect you can do infinitely better for "mid 90s female-fronted rock" (immediate e.g.: Elastica, Cranberries, Letters To Cleo, Cardigans, PJ Harvey, etc etc....) if that's why this album is even on this list. And Shirley Manson was kind of a 90s icon but was kind of a shit/nothing singer. I know there are albums I've ranked a 2 that I probably think are worse than this but the passionless - pun intended - garbage is nothing I want to hear again. 3/10 1 star.

Album name is correct

Oh man, that is really REALLY bad, even for the 90s.

Inte för mig. Skränigt. Daterat. Lyssnade inte klart

Awful. Couldn't finish.

Terrible album.

I despised this aside from the singles. If an album makes me yearn for Hole …

Not good when release, still not good no idea how it made this list

This album sucks. I much prefer Garbage 2.0. Stupid Girl is obviously a banger but otherwise it's pretty void. I can see why it's on the list because it was influential, but a lot of the time the first pass of something is pretty crappy, and that definitely applies here.

2 stars

The name is more than fitting.

No thanks

Chick version of Nirvana. Utterly unoriginal.

This has not survived the ravages of the years.

literally garbage

A new one for me. I don’t know this album. Only happy when it rains: sounds ok. Stupid girl: hmm, not very interesting. Supervixen: I think it’s not my theme, maybe for another period in another life. Musically more interesting then the other songs. But boring in the elaboration.

Grunge rock.

Alternative 90s noise without much Melody or distinction frôm the fray.

Garbage

The band name suits their music

Garbage

Name fits. Didnt listen to everything

nazwa zespolu i albumu mowi sama za siebie - "garbage"

Garbage.. Da holt mich leider nichts ab..

What an awful, dissonant opening to the album. It sounds like the samples have been processed by an asshole - not calling Butch Vig and asshole here, I certainly don't think he's that, the man's a legend - no, I mean a literal asshole. If you passed a sample through the digestive tract of a walrus, it would sound like the opening 30 seconds of this album. However, after that we get into some nice melodic indiy rock wonkiness. This is an underwhelming album. I always felt Garbage were overrated and this listen confirms it for me. Whilst they are/were somewhat unique at the time, it was really for things that make them less interesting to me - they were grunge but without the rough edges or authenticity, more mainstream, more clean-edge; they were Skunk Anansie without the bite. Not that great.

Grab Tarismo sound track Great background for school

Too hard…

Not a big fan of grunge metal music.

Trash.

This is a banger, and I know bangers!

Wasn't my favorite in the 1990s, and it's even worse in the modern ear.

Sucked. It's garbage.

I got a few songs in and bailed. It just sounded terrible. Crazy that probably my favorite sounding album (Siamese Dream) was also produced by Butch VIg. 1 Star because hey why not.

Didn't listen to it

It lives up to its name.

At least we knew what to expect

Ah, so it's not just a clever name.

In the context of albums to listen to before you die, this one just doesn't hold up at being significant enough to count. Decent generic 90s rock otherwise.

Cool production but not really my thing

Garbage.

Garbage

Not great

I feel like this album was a lot easier to love back in the 90's, much of the soundscape seems focused on that patented 90's 'tude. By the end of the album I was able to get into the groove a bit, but it seems to just end abruptly on the track "milk"

So dull.

Not for me.

Not digging it. Some of these songs I can't believe someone heard the lyrics/moaning and said "Yup, that's a good song!" Too much angst for this boy. Stupid girl < Dumb du du dumb dumb Girl

Whoever named this album deserves an award!!!! This has to only be on the list bc it’s one of the best named albums compared to whats put on the music set. This music was made for girls who say they’re not like other girls but at the end of the day they are. They all get Starbucks, wear uggs, and then stop talking to you for a month while you’re dating and then eventually break up with you because they’re cheating on you with an accounting major who looks like a thumb. And then to cap it all off they’ll get in a relationship the second it hits midnight on your birthday and have the audacity to text you like 20 minutes later saying “happy birthday”. Or so I’ve heard that’s the stereotype of basic bitches

Did not like thought it was boring.

Don´t like this (anymore), does nothing to me and even irritates me somehow now and then. Weird. So garbage indeed.

Not my music

Garbage by garbage was garbage

Total garbage… didn’t need a 5 hour+ reissue did it. Sot Only Happy When It Rains As Heaven Is Wide Dog New Tricks 1/5

usch och fy vilket tråkigt ljud

I am completely unimpressed by this album. I must be missing something! To me it just sounds really boring. The recordings and arrangements just sound really… square? There’s some interesting sounds, sonically, but overall I feel like I’m being beat over the head repeatedly. The lyrics I tuned into are all pretty corny. I must be missing context! I dunno… maybe all of the ways this album was groundbreaking or original have now been beaten to death. To me, it sounds boring, slow, and square. I don’t think it should be on this list.

Couldn't make it through the first track.

This like the kinda music if one of the characters from zoey 101 was going through a alternative phase

Not for me

I just don't love the music or the vocals here. Not my style.

blech

By far the worst album I’ve had so far. Not a fan.

90’er rock, ucharmerende, garbage

Huh look at that - Garbage band name, Garbage album name, garbage music. 3/10.

Did not finish, not my style I suppose

Angsty grunge. Not for me, Jeff.

Tried. Couldn't get into it. Recognized the singles from movies and random pop culture references. Not for me. 1/5

Only checked out 2 songs but it was meh

It wasn’t good. her voice isn’t it

Not the best, idk why she decided to autotune her voice because i could barely hear it

I never liked Garbage. I was right.

Not into it.

pretty garbage actually. Bad mixing, difficult to listen to

Yep. Mostly garbage. I don't need this kind of misery whilst locked down during a pandemic. I found one track I was able to listen to until he end. We must be due something good tomorrow?

I couldn't get through it. The album was garbage! Lol. 90s thrash just isn't my thing.

Vow and As Heaven is Wide are my favorite tracks. This is the darkest of all the Garbage albums.
