Info for Beautiful Garbage (Remastered)

Beautiful Garbage is the third studio album by American rock band Garbage. It was released on October 1, 2001, on Mushroom Records worldwide, with the North American release on Interscope Records the following day. Marking a departure from the sound the band had established on their first two releases, the album was written and recorded over the course of a year, when lead singer Shirley Manson chronicled their efforts weekly online, becoming one of the first high-profile musicians to keep an Internet blog. The album expanded on the band's musical variety, with stronger melodies, more direct lyrics, and sounds mixing rock with electronica, new wave, hip hop, and girl groups.

Released three weeks after the September 11 attacks, the album suffered from lack of promotion and the failure of its lead single "Androgyny" to achieve high chart positions. Beautiful Garbage debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200, while topping the albums chart in Australia and peaking within the top 10 in multiple European countries, and was named one of Rolling Stone's "Top 10 Albums of the Year".

"The great thing about Garbage -- the thing that nobody wants to mention -- is that they are veterans, from frontwoman Shirley Manson to the three studio pros who play the instruments. They slogged through the trenches of alt-rock in the '80s, whether it was in the U.S. or the U.K., and they came together at the precise moment in the '90s when they could fashion modern-sounding music with a keen eye to the present and modern. They consciously picked up elements from shoegazing, trip-hop, and indie rock -- anything sonically interesting in the underground, crafting them together with skill and a keen commercial eye. On their third record, Beautiful Garbage, that's more evident than ever, from how they approximate contemporary R&B with the sultry "Androgyny," or the Minneapolis new wave bubblegum funk of "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)," or the bluesy PJ Harvey strut of "Silence Is Golden." It's all the more evident because this has a shiny, sugary, unabashedly pop coating, an element that Garbage clearly revel in, as well as should the listener. This is every bit as enticingly postmodern as their other albums, and it sounds distinctly Garbage -- there are elements of My Bloody Valentine crashing up against Tricky, post-Madchester dance, jangle pop, goth stance, and classic pop -- but they seem less like magpies, more themselves, which means Beautiful Garbage is a more consistent record. It's unlikely to storm the charts like their first two records, especially since there aren't standout singles like on the earlier albums, but overall the record works better, perhaps their best album."

Garbage
were formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1994 out of what was a studio project. The band consists of Butch Vig, Steve Marker and Duke Erikson, all American producers plus Scottish singer Shirley Manson. Since their formation the band have shifted over 14,000,000 albums worldwide.

The bands self-titled debut was released in 1995 and was soon getting rave reviews in the press, so much so that MTV named them as best Breakthrough artist at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 1996.

They released their second album Version 2.0 in 1998 and went on another 18 month worldwide tour. Version 2.0 finished 1998 as the 8th best selling album of the year (Worldwide). In 1999 the band was picked to record the theme tune to the 19th James Bond film The World Is Not Enough.

In 2001 the band issued beautifulgarbage, the sound was very different to the previous 2 records which helped account for poorer sales than the previous two. However it did introduce the band to some new fans around the world.

The band returned in 2003 with the release of Bleed Like Me. This album should have sold way more than it did. It has some awesome tracks on it such as Metal Heart and the title track itself. Nearing the end of the 2005 tour the band took a break.

In 2007 the band issued a “best of” album called Absolute Garbage which featured 2 new tracks Tell Me Where It Hurts and a Garbage remix of It’s all over but the Crying.

In 2011 the band returned with a cover of U2’s Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. 2012 however is where all the action will be. They return with their 5th studio album, release a new single and head out on tour once again.

This album contains no booklet.
