'''''Beautiful Garbage''''' (stylized as '''''beautifulgarbage''''') is the third studio album by American [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Garbage (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 releases, 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 melodies, more direct lyrics, and sounds mixing rock with [[electronica]], [[New wave music|new wave]], [[Hip hop music|hip hop]], and [[girl group]]s.

The album suffered from lack of promotion and the failure of its lead single "[[Androgyny (song)|Androgyny]]" to achieve high chart positions.<ref>{{cite AV media |title=[[Absolute Garbage|Thanks for Your Uhh, Support]] documentary |type=DVD |others=[[Garbage (band)|Garbage]] |publisher=[[Warner Bros.
