My worst suspicions confirmed...

... It's taken me twenty some odd years to get around to listening to this, but found it in a charity shop last year, and it has only confirmed the reason I gave it a miss on it's original release:

It's too 'manufactured' and 'plastic' sounding Garbage, trying to be hip and with it and all techno pop confection, rather than the original concept of the band, as found in their excellent debut, which was centred around an image, and a sound and attitude of being slightly sleazy and disreputable, slack and grimy.... you know.... Garbage.

Of course, it's commendable that the band tried not to simply make the same album twice (they're not Coldplay, after all! :), but this seems the polar aopposite of what they set the band to be... they lost their selling point.

I think there may be some good tunes in here somewhere, but I can't hear them for the most part through all the directionless, frenetic, and relentless synth drums and techno-squiqgly bits which drown out the songs, and make the whole thing quite flat and tedious...

(contrary, ironaically, to what they put all that nonsense in there to achieve)

...Or it could simply be they layered all that crap on there to hide the fact that the songs underneath were not altogether great, and maybe a little rushed, or just ran out of ideas.

There's a couple of tracks worthy of their former selves which do manage to make themselves known, and punch through the fog, those being the opening two tracks: Temptation Waits, and the well known: I think I'm Paranoid, as well as the last track, which is a good one, but overall, it does kind of explain why I, like many after their debut, just said... "Meh"

...Being as this isn't what we signed up for, or bought into in the original Garbage concept. I know the original was essentially, a contrivance anyway, but it was true to the idea, and did it well, but this is pretty dull.
