    For all of their years in show business this reveals what a little kid can do. The slickness of Garbage just covers up their mediocrity, and bad songwriting. As slick as Garbage had become, there were problems of mediocrity and lower than expected talent in some of the songs. Garbage never breaks out of their shortcomings, and is a terrible group.

    The sound of a band blissfully uncoiling under the sun of self-assurance.

    Gone are the likes of 'Queer' or 'Subhuman', there's no ummph or intelligence. In straining to achieve a smarter, more mature album the band have created the most tawdry epitaph possible.

    The Garbage machine doesn't always function so pristinely. [Oct/Nov 2001, p.105]
