Garbage – Not Your Kind of People

garbage have said in multiple interviews they didnt want to reinvent themselves, and that they wanted to make a record for themselves. so what if they didnt leave their comfort zone? its garbage - not this gaga rubbish!!

summed up, its real music!

A great band like Garbage don't deserve such crap review. Shame on you Mark Shukla!

Having also heard the album, I have to disagree with a few things. It's certainly not the best album I've ever heard but there's some great wee songs on there. The Garbage affectionadoes will be pleased, but there is also quite a bit to enjoy for others. As already mentioned, the album was designed to emulate or recall a certain period, the band's first two efforts, and that is clear. Control - which I think is the best song on it - has a 90s guitar vibe and a similar kind of twist as the band's earlier b-sides. Big Bright World, though not one of my favourites, is V2.0 reminiscent. The band left their comfort zone for one distinctly underwhelming album (beautifulgarbage) and one so-so attempt (Bleed Like Me). This harks back to what they did well. You obviously didn't read the bio that came with the promo. Your issue is that this is no great departure. But that doesn't make it a bad album. It doesn't make it an amazing one either. But obviously just not to your internet.

I think this review should contain a little more justification. It's STUPID to say that Garbage has never been a band of substance. But well, it is your opinion. I can't say anything 'cause i didn't listen to the album yet. But really shame on you, Garbage is one of the best bands ever.

Some gibbering nerds up in here right now. GET OVER IT!

Right now I think 'The Skinny' have never been a place of much substance ^^ This review say nothing! "never been a band of much substance"..... maybe you were born yesterday,,,, not on the 90's !

^^^ ....maybe you were born on Mars?

I bought Garbage the week it was released, I've had an abiding crush on Shirley since the video for Queer, and I wholeheartedly agree that they've never been a band of substance. They made thrilling, ephemeral indie pop and it was glorious, but it was just pop music. It's not like they were the Joy Division of the late 90s. Even Whale had more weight about them than Garbage.

You obviously are just a totally misguided mainstream sheep. Garbage have been an important musical force since their first record. You suck.

Fucking hell losers, Garbage were a MANUFACTURED POP BAND. Just because they had guitars didn't make them any more authentic than the Spicegirls.

That a band of as little consequence as Garbage have come to be seen as visionary points to the growing abyss at the center of our culture.

Great to see Garbage back and with the steady involvement of the mighty Butch, should be a result to look forward to.

Its vastly overproduced and stale. Garbage fans would love it.

I liked the first album, Shirley's voice is excellent and they can write good songs but the production is so overdone its stupid. Its Garbage by numbers, you don't need to "reinvent" yourself to sound fresh at all...you just need to stop recording the same songs over and over.

Still there are worse out there and I don't mind any of the songs coming on the radio.

Ridiculous review. This is a great album, a fact most other publications have acknowledged. Go wallow in your faceless lo-fi frippery and leave these glossy sci-fi pop wizards to perform their inimitable expensive magic. A cursory glance at social media. and the consensus is this is a very welcome return for the band, indeed.

You massive sheep.
