Customer Reviews

Is today Christmas?

I've been waiting TWO YEARS for this album to come out and now it is finally here. The wait is over and fans and non fans rejoice as one of the greatest alternative bands of the 90s releases their greatest hits album! I can't tell you how long those two years have been. Ever since Bleed Like Me came out everyone was highly anticipating the release of Absolute Garbage. Then came word Shirley was going on break to work on solo work, while Duke, Steve, and Butch were going to part ways while she did so. However Shirley wanted to release a greatest hits compilation before moving onto her solo album. This was delayed SO MANY times that you have no idea how hard it felt on serious Garbage fans that were dying to listen to this. And to the reviewer that asked, 'where's Androgyny?' the remix is on here. Shirley said herself that she couldn't put every song on here because then they'd need every song from all four of their albums because they're all so great! Luckily the remix of Androgyny made it on ehre. I was going to literally die if Stupid Girl never made it. That's their biggest hit and not including it would make this greatest hit seem not complete. If you're into the whole downloading only a few songs vs. downloading a full album. I beg of you to PLEASE download the entire full album. The original Greatest Hits (released today as well) is somewhere on iTunes for just $9.99. This one here has the remixes on it. I'm buying this version because I'm a huge fan of remixes, and being a serious Garbage fan I need them more! But still if you can't download every song (aka: buying the album) or even the other version, at least download: -Queer -Stupid Girl -#1 Crush -Shut Your Mouth -Bleed Like Me -Tell Me Where It Hurts I was really worried this wasn't even going to come out today. After all these release date changes I was about ready to give up. But FINALLY its here! You have no idea how much seeing this album on iTunes is like you being six years old and seeing the toy you always wanted on your favorite holiday or birthday! No I beg of Shirley to please release her solo album and then get working on the fifth album! Ps. I so want Shirley's duet of 'Wonderful Life' with Gwen Stefani released as a digital download!

An Absolute Collection

This greatest hits collection would be complete with "Androgyny." Of course, it's not, and also instead of remixes they should include some of their b-side work such as: "Subhuman," "Soldier Through This" "Deadwood," and "Space Can Come Through Anyone" just to name a few. Other than that, it's a great collection that pretty much defines Garbage's 10 year career. This is only chapter 1 as Butch Vig indicates, let's hope their next greatest hits collection would include more memorable songs like this and better unreleased tracks.

I Love Garbage

Yes I'm a big fan, and this album really made my day. I already have all their CDs, but there's something really nice about just seeing them release something for a change. I do agree a few good songs are missing from this collection - but I'm just being picky. This is definitely a great collection for the casual fan, or the curious music lover looking to get into the band. The remixes are also great. If anything, download "Tell Me Where it Hurts" It's just a great song, and makes me kind of misty eyed for the days when Garbage ruled the airwaves. We miss you Shirley!!
