Garbage
- Alt-Rock Legends Venture Into the Dark Again With Strange Little
Birds
This
their sixth album is worth buying or streaming, despite it's chart
performance. Very quickly I'd point out that it's a solid 3½ Stars.
Shirley
Manson's harrowing vocal bleeds with sadness throughout. The band
says that the album was written and recorded over a two year span.
The songs deliver a signature sound of guitar-orchestration blended
with industrial textures. You might even think you're revisiting the
90's while listening.
The
songs are all good, and the instrumentation tightly fits with
prominent vocals. The track listing is perfect in allowing some
tracks to stand out more. The overall here is that this is really a
good album, and a change of pace from much of the sloppy drivel
getting produced these days.
Shirley
Manson says:
“I
feel like the musical landscape of late has been incredibly happy and
shiny and poppy. Everybody’s fronting all the time, dancing as fast
as they can, smiling as hard as they can, working on their brand.
Nobody ever says, Actually, I’m lost and I don’t have a fucking
clue what I’m doing with the rest of my life and I'm frightened.”
Shirley
Manson is our gloomy mysterious alt-rock diva, and here she, and her
partners in time, deliver us from a sickly overly happy, poppy, pop
landscape, and for this, we are grateful.
Garbage
rocks...and this album lets you
know loud and clear who they are, and what they're all about.
