    On 2012, Garbage sounds like a reunion of professionals on the peak of maturing, but not exactly on that part of life you reach self confidence and transits free on the top of your game. Is more on the part that precedes mid age crisis, when the new world is frightening and you are scared to dare and innovate yourself, so you pick up the most obvious and safe choices.

    Garbage on the "Not Your Kind Of People" made a very uneven material, which is really hard to evaluate. Bands' style after a seven year hiatus still remains the same: slightly psychedelic alternative rock with a layer of expanded lyrics. However, the songs - does not appear to be either interesting or catchy. This style started to be very ordinary, and band did not introduce any new patents.

    All of the pop-coated rock that was immediately catchy, aggressive, melodic, seductive, melancholic, and driven from those two albums [Garbage and Version 2.0] can be found here – from the ramped up, unrelenting beats to the bright electronics and propulsive guitar lines, to Shirley's changeable, ever-engaging vocals.

    They haven't really been missed, yet it's good to have them back. [Jun 2012, p.83]

    The sulky formula which established them, however, like the seismic chords of Control or the crunching Battle In Me, proves the efficacy of this recycled Garbage. [Jun 2012, p.114]
