Garbage - Bleed Like Me

I clearly remember the first time I heard Garbage. I was cruising through Tower Sunset and I heard this song. I went to the counter and asked who that was. "Garbage," was the answer. This caused me to pause for a second, then I remembered reading a few sentences about this new band. The song turned out to be Milk and I was hooked. Here we are, ten years and three albums later, and Garbage has released Bleed Like Me. They have pulled back from the over-production of Beautiful, and that's a good thing. Oh, it's not a stripped down, live-in-the-studio affair but the studio tricks are more restrained this time. Now we get rockers like the excellent Why Do You Love Me and the the catchy Sex is Not the Enemy. Let's hope we don't have to wait another four years for their next album.
