Additional InformationA '90s essential, Garbage's debut soars on Shirley Manson's sneering, sultry vocals and drummer Butch Vig's dense noise-rock and electronics-heavy production.

ReviewsIncluded in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", Ranked #19 in Village Voice's 1995 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll., "...With their menacing sexuality, sonic playfulness, inventive guitar treatments, and cool vocals by Shirley Manson, Garbage comes off like a punkier, less cerebral Golden Palominos." - Rating: A, Recommended - "...way too gritty, too dark and grainy and stuck with metal burrs, it slouches and sulks and is too determinedly cynical to ever be considered beautiful...but...it brushes as close to perfection as a pop/rock record ever can...", Ranked #18 on Melody Maker's List of 1995's `Albums of the Year.', 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...Garbage flip continually between restraint and letting loose, handling the changing energy levels with considerable skill...", 8 (out of 10) - "...they're the bees knees as far as alternative jangle-rock is concerned....GARBAGE is a reminder of how sweet angst can be in the hands of talented players...", Ranked #19 in Nme's `Top 50 Albums of the Year' for 1995., 7 (out of 10) - "...fluff deluxe. Vig's...genius as an alternative rock producer is the ability to make avant-pop sonic distortions ring out like cash registers....Rarest of all for American guitar music, dance beats proliferate everywhere...with techno and dub equally strong influences...", "...Despite its decidedly standard instrumentation, there's nothing conventional about Garbage's sound...the textures are as pliable as silly putty. Yet for all its sonic manipulation, the album never loses sight of the basic values of melody and groove...", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...Like so much fun and important rock & roll, it's the product of brilliant misunderstandings."
