Garbage
Version 2.0~ It's not that Garbage is doing anything particularly new. At times, singer Shirley Manson
borrows Chrissie Hynde's phrasing, Patti Smith's rock beat poetry, and Brian Wilson's chorus from "Don't Worry
Baby." But producer Butch Vig provides a modern sheen to Version
2.0 that makes it sound fresh and distinctly modern. Purists may
blanch--the album is a hybrid of rock guitars, dance rhythms, and pop choruses--but songs such as "I Think
I'm Paranoid" (a rip of Elastica) and "The Trick Is to Keep Breathing" (Depeche Mode, without the
chill) sound great no matter what they're called. --Keith Moerer
