Which of their albums do you peeps think is the best?
It's a close run thing between the first two, but Version 2.0 is the one for me.
If it's rock you're looking for, then the self-titled debut is the one for you. Dark, fairly depressing lyrics are the order of the day for the most part, particularly in 'Only Happy When It Rains'.
For ballads, Version 2.0 is by far the best. They make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. You Look So Fine is just so beautiful. Also, I find the songs on this album are that much more memorable than the ones on the others.
As for BeautifulGarbage, it was just lacking a certain something for me. I found many of the lyrics pretty weak. I didn't know what to think of it at first, but I've pretty much made up my mind that it's my least favourite of their albums, not that it's particularly bad, I just prefer the other ones! Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!) is absolutely wonderful, and never fails to get me bouncing around! On the other hand, the simply horrible 'Untouchable' should be given the widest of berths.
So there you have it, my review of all three albums by the excellent Garbage!

I was hoping for 3 separate threads I think I will listen to each album and rank the songs out of 10, and see which comes up as my fave. You are right on the 2.0 ballads though, some gorg tracks there, and beauriful garbage does have some dodgy tracks as well.

"Temptation Waits" has been one of my favourite songs for years now... I'd also give it a nine, and it's #262 in my top 275, having been just outside the top 50 two years ago. "Cherry Lips" is also good, and I remember liking "I Think I'm Paranoid".
Might invest in Version 2.0 then ;D
