Beautiful Garbage

About

Beautiful Garbage (stylized as beautifulgarbage) is the third studio album by American rock band Garbage. It was released on October 1, 2001, by Mushroom Records worldwide, with the North American release by Interscope Records the following day. Marking a departure from the sound the band had established on their first two release, 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 melodie, more direct lyric, and sounds mixing rock with electronica, new wave, hip hop, and girl group. The album suffered from lack of promotion and the failure of its lead single "Androgyny" to achieve high chart position. Beautiful Garbage debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200, while topping the albums chart in Australia and peaking within the top 10 in multiple European countrie, and was named one of Rolling Stone's "Top 10 Albums of the Year". .
