ToddW.Aug 1, 20071An aptly named album for an aptly named band. I've never gotten this band, although I must admit their lead singer is at least got her name right. She sounds like Shirley Temple channeling Charles Manson.

BrandonSJul 26, 20078They've lost a little momentum from their mid-90s heyday, but they're still a great group, and there are a few songs from their more recent albums I'd have liked to see make the cut (Parade and Can't Cry These Tears, to name a couple). Overall a great collection from a great band.

AndrewAAug 12, 20075It's hard to say this... but I agree with Pitchfork. I love their first two records, so the first half of this album is great. But the second half is REALLY absolute garbage. (and well, the remix cd is for fans only)

Josh?Aug 13, 200710This collection is Rock Star all the way. The new track only cements how great this band always was & hopefully always will be. I Love This Band!

ClayS.Jul 25, 200710I love Garbage! While this CD is missing a few of their hits, it's still really nice to have most of them on one CD. The remix CD is a nice addition too. :)

DrewFAug 18, 20079If you were ever a fan, this album is a must-have. Their unique sound defined my transition from teenager to adulthood. I'll never understand why their more recent work has been so frowned upon by the public at large. Still, along with Muse, the only band whose every release I anticipate. Hopefully this is not the end for Shirly, Butch and the gang!

GeorgeMAug 9, 200710the first good band i ever loved, and i still love them, i do think version 2.0 was their strongest album, but i love nearly evrythin theyve done, i think alexis has got it spot on.. well, anyway, the songs speak for themselves!! i do think there was a few other tracks that def shud have been on here, "sex is not the enemy" "androgyny" "silence is golden" and a few others!

AnnaMJul 25, 200710Amazing collection of songs from one of the best bands of the 90s and indeed the 00s. Shirley's voice manages to be sultry, alluring and sarcastic all at once and no two songs on this compilation sound even vaguely alike.

The only thing lacking after the debut were the pop songs. This was evident with each successive proper album, but this flaw is put into too sharp of a relief on Absolute Garbage.

60The bonus disc of dance remixes merely piles another layer of fastidiousness atop the already epically fussed-over tracks. [2007 Aug, p.120]

53The band's seemingly desperate to reinvigorate their cultural cachet, but Absolute Garbage's latter half emphasizes the depths they've fallen.
