I have all of Garbage's albums and I totally loved the first two - both were awesome power pop / electronic fusion albums which sounded fresh and edgy for their time. Their lead singer had a tough, sensual and unique sounding voice, which I enjoyed alot...

Then along came the more condensed, commercial attempts on BeatifulGarbage, and that album was awful - a barely edgy Britney pop oriented album with none of the band's penchant for power pop, dirgey electronica or their sense of longing, yearing and complexity - just a hollow commercial attempt...

It totally turned me away from the band...
