THE REVIEW
How many of you now wouldn't prefer him as a record producer for albums like "Nevermind," "Siamese Dream," or "Dirt"? Instead, Butch Vig insists with his Garbage in the hardly credible challenge of combining horrors like Britney Spears with the splendor of songs like "I think I'm paranoid."

"Shirley’s excellent interpretation on the interesting 'Til The Day I Die' highlights the album's strengths despite its flaws."
"Beautifulgarbage remains something fresh and well-done, maintaining a non-negligible homogeneity, never tiring the listener."
