I Think I'm Paranoid...of Garbage...

by lambchops, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Apr 30 '02
Pros: Push It, I Think I'm Paranoid
Cons: Many sound alike songs, at times too-slick production
Garbage rocks my world. Since the first time I heard Only Happy When It Rains through an occasional track on their most recent less popular release, the band led by Scottish fireball Shirley Manson has continued to impress me with their...

Garbage Subtly Edits its Debut With Version 2.0

by floatingcity , Aug 09 '07
Pros: Driving alt-dance-pop with a few spacey ballads thrown in for good measure.
Cons: Somewhat homogenous, and uses its production tricks to compensate for spots of weak writing.
Following the success of its self-titled debut, alt-rock group Garbage returned in 1998 with the sophomore effort “Version 2.0”. The album’s title is actually quite fitting, given that most of the music featured within is only slightly ...

Version 2.0-An Improvement Over Previous Garbage.

by jeff_wilder78 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 23 '02
Pros: Good seductive lyrics over hypnotic music.
Cons: Pop leanings are a little too much at times.
When Garbage first came on to the scene with their 1995 debut album, I was not a fan. Maybe it was the constant overplay of singles like "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" (which seemed to either be loaded with practically every clichéd lyric from a...

I thought they were special...oh right, they are

by emmafrost , May 27 '02
Pros: Highly original songs, deep sensual voice, brilliant combinations of electronica and hard rock.
Cons: A few songs bridge the rock/pop gap a bit too close for comfort.
If perhaps you think like I do, you’ve come to fear the promotions of your average TRL artist. When N*sync steps onto the Oprah set, you know you’re f***ed. Heavy promotion over confidentiality almost always translates to modest record sales, as our...

So Much Sweet Nastiness!

by dustygold , Apr 07 '00
Pros: Very entertaining! Creepy in only the best way.
Cons: Redundantly repetitive, repeatedly...plus there's way too much borrowed material.
Garbage attacked '98 with characteristic venom in their album "Version 2.0". The good news is that it yielded some cool singles; the bad is that all the rest of the stuff on the album fails to differentiate. A lot of their songs sound very...

More of the same

by dave27 , Mar 31 '02
Pros: The sound, the playing
Cons: The material, the lack of inspiration
A few reviews of this album, Garbage's second, rate it as the better of the two. Hmmmmm...

I'm definitely not sure (a contradiction in terms, what!) about that as I consider Version 2.0 as being little more than a retread of the first one -...

I think I'm Paranoid.

by kiljoi , Jun 18 '00
Pros: still great to rock out to when you're feeling prickly
Cons: haha.
I write this hoping that Shirley and the gang see it and get inspired (pressured) to release their new album....tomorrow.

2.0 remains lyrically similar to Garbage's self-titled debut-Shirley is no man's b.itch and don't you forget about...

Certainly not Garbage, But Nothing Spectacular Either...

by MattA75 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 24 '00
Pros: original style, some great songs, especially Sleep Together
Cons: the electronic aspect of their act is much too important a part of their act
Garbage, who emerged in 1995 on the strength of their self-titled debut, returned to the scene in 1998 with their second album, entitled Version 2.0. The album is a smooth production effort that keeps Garbage's original sound, despite the...

PUSH IT ! right into the cd player

by mattjoe Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jan 06 '00
Pros: THE MUSIC
Cons: it isnt twice as long!
Years after first hearing "I would die for you" I was once again hit by that different appealing sound while driving when i heard PUSH IT on the radio. Immediately I wanted to know who sings this ? I MUST HAVE IT. Since having rushed out and...

Pop, Soul, Dance, Alternative and Techno All in One

by Booms729 , Aug 19 '00
Pros: The whole album is terrific, Special and Temptation Waits are standouts
Cons: Not for hard-core rock fans
Garbage's Version 2.0 received a lot of exposure when it was released. Shirley Manson voice could be heard singing tracks on the Faculty, Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV, and Big Daddy soundtracks. "Special" was played during an episode of...

Very Special

by columbia35 , Jun 12 '00
Pros: more sexy tunes, varied subject matters, beautiful vocals
Cons: more poppish than the first Garbage album, not as dark
Being a fan of Garbage, I automatically loved their newest album, "Version 2.0". Though poppier and not as dark as the original, it's still a great album, and just what it's title claims, a second version of Garbage.
It's filled...

More of a good thing

by gjc12 , Sep 20 '99
Pros: Shirley Manson voice, exceptionally well put together album
Cons: none!
If you were a big fan of Garbage's first album, you may not like this one right away. Songs like "Push It" and "I think I'm paranoid" were the only ones that first appealed to me, but after listening to the whole CD a few times I...

Shirley's Wicked Ways

by Torn_Willows , Nov 28 '99
Pros: Great New Album & Sound. Same Great Voice.
Cons: None.
I borrowed this album from a friend of mine and played it while I was playing a card game. It ended up that I paid more attention to the new Garbage album than I did the card game. Garbage's second release, 1998's "Version 2.0" has turned out...

One of my all time favorite CDs, bar none

by verbalgirl , May 27 '00
Pros: Intelligent, thought-provoking lyrics, unique sound, great to sing along to when you're in a bad mood
Cons: not for the N*Sync/Christina Aguilera/98 Degrees set.... if you consider that a con
Some people I used to hang out with in a chat room were huge Garbage fans, always quoting the songs and talking about the band. I had heard two or three Garbage songs -- "Only Happy When It Rains", "Push It", and "I Think I'm...

BUY THIS CD NOW!!!!!

by ruby710 , Mar 06 '00
Pros: perfect music, perfect vocalist, great lyrics and beats
Cons: none!!
On my first listen to the self titled "Garbage" CD, I instantly fell in love with this band. The writing, the music and the overall style is fabulous. This is the only group that has released CDs in which there are no songs to skip.
