==Background==
The origins of ''Beautiful Garbage'' came from a three-day [[recording session]] in September 1999 during Garbage's [[Version 2.0 tour|world tour]] in support of their second album, ''[[Version 2.0]]''.<ref name="Makingmusic">{{cite magazine |last=Basine |first=Andy |title=Sweet Insanity |magazine=[[Making Music (magazine)|Making Music]] |date=March 2002 |issn=1552-2946}}</ref> The sessions resulted in "Silence Is Golden" and "Til the Day I Die", which were written for a proposed [[B-side]]s album.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nme.com/news/garbage/2071 |title=Vig Talk from Garbage |work=[[NME]] |date=October 1, 1999 |access-date=November 12, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141112083514/http://www.nme.com/news/garbage/2071 |archive-date=November 12, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://bleedlikeme.4bb.ru/viewtopic.php?id=255#p3725 |title=Shirley's Lesbian Kiss |magazine=[[Kerrang!]] |date=October 1999 |issn=0262-6624 |access-date=November 12, 2014 |via=Bleedlikeme.4bb.ru}}</ref> Both songs were loose and organic, contrasting with the very densely layered production featured on ''Version 2.0''. "Silence Is Golden" in particular was written with an odd [[Metre (music)|metric structure]] for a Garbage song: a [[Time signature|6/8]] [[Swing (jazz performance style)|shuffle]] that progresses to a straight [[Common time|4/4]] [[Beat (music)|beat]].<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Bartlett |first=Ben |title=Garbage's Pail Kids |magazine=[[Guitarist (magazine)|Guitarist]] |date=August 2002 |issn=0953-7023}}</ref>

The sale of the band's North American independent record label [[Almo Sounds]] to [[Universal Music Group]] in early 2000 put the B-sides album on hold; Garbage decided to simply start work on recording their third album instead.<ref>{{cite web |last=Saidman |first=Sorelle |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1429322/garbage-regroups-in-the-studio/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140727063932/http://www.mtv.com/news/1429322/garbage-regroups-in-the-studio/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 27, 2014 |title=Garbage Regroups in the Studio |website=[[MTV News]] |date=April 25, 2000 |access-date=January 17, 2016}}</ref> Garbage began writing and recording the album at their own [[Smart Studios]] in [[Madison, Wisconsin]] in April of that year. "The only vision we had was that we wanted it to sound different," recalled guitarist [[Duke Erikson]] about the influence that the two new tracks had cast, adding that the band wished to evolve the chemistry that the band had developed from touring the previous two years.<ref name="SOS">{{cite web |last=Inglis |first=Sam |url=https://www.soundonsound.com/people/recording-garbage |title=Recording Garbage |work=[[Sound on Sound]] |date=June 2002 |access-date=January 27, 2019}}</ref>
