lets discuss the new garbage album BLEED LIKE ME:
do you like it? i really like it but there are no big surprises in the sound... anyway - it’s a garbage album and it sounds like a garbage album ;)
an other question: do you imagine a kind of garbage-sound when you guys say: “roxette should use more guitars / should be rockier”?
edited: i don’t know why but the chorus of the tiltle “why don’t you come over” is gesslish ...

I don’t like ’beautifulgarbage’ either. Some of those songs are just terrible.’ Bleed Like Me’ is great. If you go to their official site, scroll down and you’ll see something about VH1. They’ll give a link to a VH1 website, where you can hear all the album in it’s entireity. Check out the song Run Baby Run first. :)

I love it! The only song I’m not really “getting” is “Bleed Like Me” (and it’s the second single in North America!). It’s not that it’s a bad song or anything... but a single? “Run Baby Run” is my favourite track after “WDYLM,” and then it’s just one great song after another. I love them all... it’s so great to have Garbage back. “Metal Heart” could have been on “Version 2.0,” I love this kind of fusion of electronic and rock elements, to me this is when Garbage are at their very best. Bring on the b-sides!!

Forgot to say that I tried to see Garbage play in Seattle this past weekend and the concert got CANCELLED at the last minute!! SUCH a bummer... drove all the way from Vancouver and we had a hotel and everything. Hopefully it will be rescheduled... )-:

i wonder if that means the tensions that split the band up r showing up again :(

yesterday a friend of mine told me that she doesn’t like the new garbage album because most of the songs sounded like roxette songs without strings ...
... now i like the new garbage album even more ;)

Anyone else think “Right Between the Eyes” is about Courtney Love? I asked this on a Garbage message board (the free one, of course!) and most people seemed to think that could be the case...
I love LOVE *LOVE* this album!

For me “Version.2” is still their best album. I think I like “Bleed Like Me”, coz Im a huge Garbage-fan, but I has to grow on me some more.
By the way, I just saw that they are at #4 in america on the album chart with “Bleed Like Me”. I didnt know that they were so big in the US. I always saw them more like a “Europe-only”- band ( kinnda like Roxette...)

@Roxette-atic: That’s actually Garbage’s highest chart position in the US, and their only Top 10 (both “Version 2.0” and “beautifulgarbage” got to #13).
“Version 2.0” and “beautifulgarbage” are still my favourites (can’t choose between those two) but “Bleed Like Me” is very, very close behind... I think “Metal Heart” was a nice nod to those of us who love the sound they captured on “Hammering In My Head” and all the other songs in that vein, and “Happy Home” could have been on the last album. The harder and more punky tracks like “Why Do You Love Me” and “Why Don’t You Come Over” are something completely new for them, I think... still Garbage but... louder (-:

bleed like me is a weak ass track and if you think the new videos are good you need some corrective laser eye surgery, they r bland boring, the bleed like me video has NOTHING to do with the content of the song at all
coyboyusa said on May 30, 2005 22:09:
i didnt say the song sucked i said the video sucked, and honestly b;eed like me shouldn’t have been a single

I love the album. Hard, loud, great rock/pop. Catchy chorus’. It’s a great album.
The only thing that I’m disapointed about with this album (and it’s not the album itself, more the record company) is how Warner seems to be messing everyone around with the b-sides. First they confirmed 2 CD’s of “WDYLM?” for Europe (mainland at least). The 2nd CD had “I Just Wanna Have Something To Do” and “Space Can Come Through Anyone” on it. But they cancelled the 2nd CD last minute, and I’ve just heard that their next single will have only 1 new song on it - which will be “Space Can Come Through Anyone”. That’s a bit petty, because many people already downloaded that due to the disapointment over it being cancelled the first time. They’re probably gonna mess us around for the whole album now (maybe give us 4 songs at most - compared to the ’beautifulgarbage’ singles giving us 11). :(
