The new album sums up every good reason to be a Garbage fan. Moody balads, raw lyrics, powerful pop twists, gigantic guitar riffs with eletronic distortions and a dramatic yet so real emotional rollercoster bunch of songs. I mean... Garbage at it's best!
Shirley is amazing. It's sad to see how focused people are on her age and looks in the comments section. No one is gonna look the same as they did 20 years ago. That goes for all of us. Keep rockin Shirley!
I'm glad Shirley mentioned "If I Lost You". I fell in love with a girl to that song last month. It may or may not last between us but that memory sure will. As a fan since '95, I may be biased but Strange Little Birds is a must have album in everyone's collection. My favorite release of the year. Thank you Garbage.
Of course this is the best record of Garbage!! I don't have words to explain, But Garbage have done a great job!! Thnk you so much Garbage.... Strange little birds... is just perfect!
Wow she owns everything. You can see the power of one of the most dominant and powerful women in the music industry sitting there. She's like M in James Bond somehow :) When I first saw her in "I think I'm paranoid", I thought she was so sexy, I still do even though I can see she has aged but she's still got it.
STRANGE LITTLE BIRDS is very comparable to their debut album with some nods to Version 2.0, I really think it's their best album since Version 2.0 in my opinion. I thought of MILK right away when I heard IF I LOST YOU, MAGNETIZED reminded me of WHEN I GROW UP, EVEN THROUGH OUR LOVE IS DOOMED reminded me of their B-Side AFTERGLOW and NIGHT TIME LONELINESS seems like an extension of their B-Side SLEEP!
I can't stand fans who can't go the distance with a band and start showing how shallow they are by hanging onto an artist's looks. The woman is brilliant and still has that edge that makes us love Garbage. She always will. Shirley is unique and not afraid to speak her mind, giving us the insight the way only she can.
