Garbage - No Gods, No Masters (7th album)

[Cerro de Casa]

I know the second album is very well regarded. My memory of that album was just being disappointed it wasn't as good as album 1, but maybe it was a grower.

Yes. It was. *nail file emoji*

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Well I like the single and I can't wait to collect all the variants. Give me BeautifulGarbaaaaage vibes.

 

[rhythmbandit]

LOVE IT.

[RJN]

Despite not being that much of a fan, Only Happy When It Rains was one of the first songs I remember loving as a child (along with Kylie's Butterfly)

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Sometimes I honestly can't with PUSH IT.

One of my favourite songs of all time I think.

 

[Jark]

top 10 right off the top of my head

01. The World is Not Enough
02. Push It
03. Stupid Girl
04. Why Do You Love Me
05. Metal Heart
06. Bleed Like Me
07. Empty
08. Happy Home
09. I Think I'm Paranoid
10. No Horses

Bleed Like Me was my entry route into Garbage and remains a firm fave

 

[Funky]

I’m not living for the song, but I am living for the lyrics

 

[Jark]

Despite not being that much of a fan, Only Happy When It Rains was one of the first songs I remember loving as a child (along with Kylie's Butterfly)

the omens were always there then

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I still remember the first time I heard 'SuperVIXEN' when I bought the first album (on CASSETTE). That Butch Vig production - ugh.

 

[FetchFugly]

The new song is good. Definitely a lot going on, it is loud as noted but there's a funk and a strut to the verses and multiple hooks all over the place. I do wonder if it is thirty seconds too long, but in the middle somewhere as the layering with it all going off at the end is the best bit.

 

[straightorbroken]

Well, it's not shit the cornflakes amazing, but after around 3:30 it does get going good. I think they could have went much harder with it. 6/10

 

[straightorbroken]

The squid line though

 

[jivafox]

[jivafox]

The SOLE guests at their sole headline show in my town.

They love me

 

[jivafox]

The title track and video are being released today.

 

[jivafox]

 

[GNL]

Ooh this is really good.

 

[jivafox]

I had the video open in two tabs for the premiere and didn't realise and I thought "wow, their mastering has REALLY gone to shit!"

On a more successful second listen I really like it. Especially the "where the wind blows" bits.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh that's VERY POP Garbage. I like it.

 

[FetchFugly]

Very new wavey. Kind of a different sound for them but I am liking a lot.

 

[Jark]

this is great. not sure the chorus quite sustains the feel good energy of the verses but it's a bit of a banger, very Garbage and somehow slightly new too.

 

[Tisch]

Ooh yes I prefer it to the song about the squids, albeit it's very cohesive (as Garbage are always reliable at being). ALBAM NOW PLS.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I know it's 3 years old, the interviewer is terrible and it's 80 minutes but this indepth interview with Shirl is fabulous. What a smart, articulate, woman she is.

 

[Tisch]

New song "Wolves" coming tomorrow.

 

[Jark]

can't wait. I've been spinning the shit of No Gods No Masters - their last two albums had several great tracks between them, but god it's good to hear a PROPERLY MASTERED Garbage song again with everything sounding crisp and sharp. listening to something like Empty afterwards and the contrast is insane. this is their best song in years.

 

[jivafox]

 

[Jark]

on first play I like it a lot. but the title track is still king for now.

 

[Tisch]

Listening to the three songs back to back and have concluded we're definitely in for a TREAT with this album. A return to form. A lot rockier than Strange Little Birds. Get me to a mosh pit*!


*no really don't

 

[FetchFugly]

Wolves is another strong song.

According to the 4 star Mojo review This City Will Kill You is 'woozily trip-hop' and Waiting For God the closest they've come to a power ballad.
