Garbage - beautifulgarbage

180-gram gatefold double LP

beautifulgarbage (20th Anniversary Remastered Edition)

Newly remastered audio by Billy Bush and Butch Vig!

beautifulgarbage is the third studio album from Garbage, initially released on October 1, 2001. 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. This brand new edition featuring newly remastered audio by Billy Bush & Butch Vig on 180-gram black vinyl.

"The easy answer as to why beautifulgarbage, the 2001 LP by alt-rockers Garbage, didn't perform as well commercially and culturally as their preceding two albums is that the promotion efforts by the label fell by the wayside in the shadow of 9/11. Listened to 20 years later, the situation feels far more complicated. Nu-metal was still on the ascendant, emo was creeping in and R&B superstars like Destiny's Child and Aaliyah were pulling focus.

"As well, this album isn't rife with grabby, forward-facing singles. It's best appreciated as a full body of work, moving at a deliberate pace as the group siphoned off their interests in electronic dance music, shoegaze and art rock. This deluxe reissue could help correct the historical record. Even though the double LP format of this vinyl release forces multiple side flips, the band's complete artistic vision comes even clearer as vocalist Shirley Manson tried to make sense of the 24-hour news cycle, geopolitics, sexual fluidity and an air of anxiety already present before the terrorist attack." — Robert Ham, Paste
