Version 2.0

Garbage rules

7/10. I think this was a bit worse than Garbage, but still definitely felt like listening to Garbage.

Yeah, good stuff, but I wonder what this adds that the other garbage record didn't?

Garbage will always have a special place in my heart.

Haven't listened to this in forever. Great 90s album. Thanks for suggesting.

I don't think it quite hit the amazing highs of their debut, but this was still a super catchy and fun 90's rock joint.

Gimmicky tottering toward the millennium this absolutely is. And I have a soft, soft spot for that. In not committing to the more industrial rock bits (Dare I say Manson? Dare I admit to early Skillet?) Garbage proves that those neo-instruments can be good, actually, without art-school pretension. A bit of sadomasochism, though, is apropos.

Didn't feel a connection with this album, but there are some good songs

Always good to go back to this one, some happy 90s memories

This band was a very meh affair in the 90s imo, and I haven't really changed my opinion there. There aren't any real big banger tunes going on. Everything is mildly catchy, but that's not enough on its own. At least half their appeal was "omg Butch Vig" and some weird idol worship of Shirley Manson. I didn't understand it then, still don't. Not a bad band, not complete garbage(!), but there would have been THAT MANY bands doing something very similar, probably better, that we just never heard of... 3/5.

Garbage has mostly seemed like straight ahead rock and roll - good and I don't mind listening to it, but I'm not sure it was distinguished by much more than syle.

This is lots of good fun, but I'm not sure it's better than the Garbage album that's on the real list already!

Had a couple of good songs and was generally listenable. That being said, I think this was a step back from their album that ended up on the list. 6/10

Riding high on my post-Nirvana obsession, I ofcourse had to get Garbage's debut album. Anything somehow related to Nirvana was a must to dive into (even if it was only the producer of Nevermind, who apparently could play drums). The debut album was actually quite good! Then a few years later version 2.0 came along. Again, quite good, but not as fresh and new as the debut album. More of the same: catchy tunes, great vocals and all-in-all a 'decent' record. Then years went by and somehow I never revisited it after those initial few spins when it came out. It didn't 'stick'. Hearing it again now brings back fond memories, but this will most likely be the last time I will ever listen to this record in it's entirety.

I thought the debut was better, less polished. But not too bad.

Ca s'écoute super bien. On parle de moins reconnu que le gargabe 1.0 Je suis pas certain, je me souviens pus d premier mais celui-ci est super donc même note. Je vais réécouter Garbage 1 et me refaire une tête . 3.5

Solid

Garbage definitely existed in that weird alt-rock meets the new technologies and styles of digital production and electronica. Always was just "ehh it's fine but not my thing" for me. I can tolerate it in small doses.

Back in the day they were considered a manufactured band of top producers trying to get some limelight and a pretty girl to provide the image for success. There is certainly some truth to this, but their longevity as a group, far greater than the vast majority of 90s bands, also speaks in their favor. This second album built on the success of the first thanks to its hits. But as with all of their discography, after two or three hits there was a lot of filler material

Manson has a cool voice but beyond that this album isn't very exciting.

One Garbage album on the list is plenty.

Well that was...... Shit

I like Garbage overall. The songs are good and I like her voice, but I'm not the biggest fan of the way its mixed. I don't really have the words to describe what I mean, but the instruments all sound sort of mushed together. 3 stars.
