Garbage

Beautiful Garbage (also typeset beautifulgarbage) is the third album by alternative rock group Garbage. It was released worldwide in October 2001 and was the followup to the band’s multi-platinum album Version 2.0. More diverse than their first two albums, musically more melodic and lyrically more direct, and branching out from the band’s established sound, Beautiful Garbage featured contemporary hip hop fused with electronica, with influences coming from Eighties new wave to Sixties girl groups.

Garbage is the debut album by American alternative rock group Garbage. It was released in the late summer and autumn of 1995 worldwide, following critical acclaim and promising chart positions for their debut single "Vow", which entered the Billboard Hot 100. Garbage was considered innovative for its fusion of pop melodies with alternative rock, trip-hop and electronica genres and its use of loops and sampling including, amongst other things, The Clash's "Train in Vain", the sound of torn sheets of metal, an air conditioning unit and a broken tape deck.

Beautiful Garbage is the third studio album from Garbage, initially released on October 1, 2001. Marking a departure from the sound the band had established on their first two releases, Garbage & Version 2.0, the album was written and recorded over the course of a year, when lead singer Shirley Manson chronicled their efforts weekly online, becoming one of the first high-profile musicians to keep an Internet blog. The album expanded on the band's musical variety, with stronger melodies, more direct lyrics, and sounds mixing rock with electronica, new wave, hip hop, and girl groups.
