    One of the year's best.
  2. L.A. Weekly
    90
    The sound of a band blissfully uncoiling under the sun of self-assurance.
  3. Alternative Press
    60
    The abundance of derivative electronic tricks diminishes Beautiful's successful updates of Garbage's sound. [Nov 2001, p.73]

    This ius the best garbage album ever made. It is the whole reason why i got into the band. It is electronica-rock at it's best. This band really knows how to deliver good talented music worth buying no matter what genre they cover!… Expand

    An absolute mess. It has its moments (ie Cup of Coffee, Parade, Drive You Home, Like a Rose...) but overall: their worst album to date.
