'''''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.

A remastered and expanded edition of the album was released on November 5, 2021, to mark its 20th anniversary.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/manson-garbage/|title=Garbage frontwoman hits out at the streaming giants making money at musicians' expense and why being on the road is costing the earth|author=English, Paul|work=[[The Sunday Post]]|date=October 18, 2021|access-date=November 2, 2021}}</ref> The triple CD set featured two bonus CDs, consisting of b-sides, alternate versions, previously unreleased recordings and remixes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/garbage-announce-20th-anniversary-reissue-of-beautiful-garbage-3021385|title=Garbage announce 20th anniversary reissue of 'Beautiful Garbage'|last=Skinner|first=Tom|work=[[NME]]|date=August 17, 2021|access-date=August 19, 2021}}</ref>

==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>

==Composition==
More diverse than their first two studio albums, musically more melodic and lyrically more direct, ''Beautiful Garbage'' featured [[electronica]] fused with contemporary [[Hip hop music|hip hop]], with influences coming from 1980s [[New wave music|new wave]] to 1960s [[girl group]]s. Garbage acknowledged the broad span of sounds and styles, which included [[Prince (musician)|Prince]], [[The Rolling Stones]], [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]], and [[Phil Spector]].<ref>''Beautiful Garbage'' bio, written by Peter Murphy, published by Mushroom and Interscope, July 2001.</ref> Regarding the melancholic lyrics, Manson stated they happened because after two years touring "we were very isolated and removed from our lives", so when writing the lyrics, "I felt an overwhelming sense that I need to reinvest in my 'relations'".<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Spitz |first=Marc |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m-qexhnZaukC&pg=PA81 |title=Call Her Ms. Manson |magazine=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]] |volume=17 |issue=11 |date=November 2001 |page=81 |issn=0006-2510 |access-date=January 27, 2019 |via=[[Google Books]]}}</ref>

{{quote box|quote=It was a really interesting experience for me as a musician. I learned a lot. It was quite a liberating experience in a funny way.

Drummer [[Butch Vig]] stated that the album is a "much simpler record than ''[[Version 2.0]]''": "All of the songs sort of came from us playing live downstairs [in Smart Studios] with guitar, bass and drums ... That was the only conscious decision we made – to make the songs simpler. Some of the songs are still layered in spots; compared to the last record, there're about half as many tracks. As far as sounds go, it's basically drums, bass, some heavy guitars and Shirley singing." Erikson agreed that a more organic sound and simplistic approach with respect to production is embodied by the final mix of the album. "A lot of songs took shape in just a few hours as opposed to a few months with the last record....Some of the songs obviously took a long time, or we wouldn't have been in the studio for a full year. But a lot of them happened very quickly. 'Silence Is Golden' we recorded basically in three days and it was done. 'So Like a Rose,' for the most part, was recorded in three hours. I think we spent a lot of time just trying to resist adding stuff to [the new album]. Because that was our tendency on the other two records." On the lyrical content of the songs, Vig remarked that "[Manson's lyrics] aren't specifically responses to the industry, but they could be read that way. Shirley has said that, for example, 'Shut Your Mouth' is about all the bullshit that's out there, but it's also a sort of note to self to keep your mouth shut, because she says she's the biggest, most opinionated loudmouth of anyone around. So they work on multiple levels."<ref name="Isthmus">{{cite web |last=Laskin |first=Tom |url=https://isthmus.com/archive/from-the-archives/garbage-can-the-madison-bands-new-sound-succeed-in-the-fickle-pop-marketplace/ |title=Garbage: Can the Madison band's new sound succeed in the fickle pop marketplace? |work=[[Isthmus (newspaper)|Isthmus]] |date=April 29, 2012 |access-date=January 17, 2016}}</ref>

Garbage decided the best way to start writing the album was to set up their [[Sound recording and reproduction|recording equipment]], guitars, keyboards, drum kit and a [[Sampler (musical instrument)|sampler]] and "[[Jam session|jam]]" as a group.<ref name="SOS"/> Their [[improvisation]] led the inspiration of a few songs such as "[[Shut Your Mouth (song)|Shut Your Mouth]]", where the band played for three hours while Manson spontaneously composed melody and lyrics, while "[[Breaking Up the Girl]]" came from both Erikson and Vig [[strum]]ming acoustic guitars in the studio lounge.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=McCallef |first=Ken |title=This Garbage Doesn't Stink! |magazine=[[Pulse! (magazine)|Pulse!]] |date=October 2001}}</ref> The band felt that it was foremost that the new songs worked on an emotional level with Manson's vocals and lyrics.<ref name="SOS"/> The initial sessions ultimately led to around 32 song ideas to develop further.<ref name="Makingmusic"/>

==Recording==
[[File:Garbage Matters.ogg|thumb|right|[[Shirley Manson]] interview from 2001, around the release of ''Beautiful Garbage'']]
Smart Studios had upgraded their [[mixing console]] to a [[Trident Studios#The Trident 'A' Range Console|Trident A-Range]] model, which the band used extensively. The band [[Multitrack recording|tracked]] directly onto [[Magnetic tape|analogue tape]] using a [[Studer]] tape machine, which was then dumped into [[Pro Tools]] [[digital audio workstation]]. [[Overdubs]] and [[Audio mixing (recorded music)|mixing]] were carried out in Pro Tools.<ref name="SOS"/>

{{quote box|quote=I think if someone really wanted to figure out the processes we go through, they should listen to all the mixes of one song, all the way through. As soon as we have the basic idea, we jam in the studio, and Shirley comes up with the melody and the lyrics. It might be in a very raw form to start with, but as we go, we constantly make rough mixes. You could probably go from the first one through about 12 or 20 mixes and hear what the change will be. Some of the songs take radical detours to get from point A to point B, when the song's finished.|width=33%|source= —[[Butch Vig]]<ref name="SOS"/>}}

Vig kept the drums and percussion simpler than before. Percussive tracks were recorded through a 30-year-old [[Roger Mayer (engineer)|Roger Meyer]] [[Dynamic range compression|compressor]] to color the sound (Vig: "It's really saturated and distorted, but in a very musical way").<ref name="SOS"/> Some tracks however were fairly scrutinized: an [[instrumental]] [[Bridge (music)|break]] in "Til the Day I Die" incorporated [[reverse tape effects]].<ref name="SOS"/> Vig was not satisfied with his "[[swing (jazz performance style)|swing]]" on a 6/8 [[Groove (music)|groove]] written for a [[falsetto]] vocal Manson had recorded on "Can't Cry These Tears", so he recruited [[Matt Chamberlain]] to play the part. The recorded sequence incorporated Chamberlain's contribution, some of Vig's performance and some light [[Programming (music)|programming]].<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Reid |first=Pat |title=Beauty and The Beast |magazine=[[Rhythm (music magazine)|Rhythm]] |date=July 2002 |issn=0957-6592}}</ref> Chamberlain also performed a "chopped-up" [[Drum beat|drum pattern]] for "Cup of Coffee" and a "bitchin' funk groove" on "[[Breaking Up the Girl#Commercial track listings|Confidence]]".<ref name="Soundbarrier">{{cite magazine |last=Budofsky |first=Adam |title=Breaking The Sound Barrier |magazine=[[Modern Drummer]] |date=June 2002 |issn=0194-4533}}</ref>

Much of the recorded guitar work was [[Equalization (audio)|heavily processed]], the band using a [[Pod (amp modeler)|Line 6 Pod]] for [[Melody|melodic parts]] and [[Ornament (music)|embellishments]]: for example, for the [[Thirty-two-bar form|middle eight]] of "So Like a Rose", Erikson played a [[Gibson Les Paul|Les Paul]] with an [[Ebow|E-bow]] through the Pod, while the [[Synthesizer|synth-like]] [[Introduction (music)|intro]] to "Parade" was created by layering an acoustic guitar part with a clean electric guitar. A [[tremolo]] effect on "Can't Cry These Tears" was inspired by [[Wall of Sound|1960s production techniques]].<ref name="SOS"/> The [[Amplifier modeling|amp modelers]] were used to pre-effect the recording prior to Pro Tools, in order to prevent [[phasing]]. For electric guitar recording, the band utilized [[Isolation cabinet (guitar)|cabinet miking]] – four microphones recorded the output of a [[Marshall Amplification|Marshall]] [[Guitar amplifier|amplifier]]. Acoustics were recorded using a single [[Blue Microphones|Blue Bottle]] microphone.<ref name="SOS"/> [[Daniel Shulman]], who had performed bass guitar on ''Version 2.0'' and the band's two world tours, spent two separate weeks laying down bass parts. Shulman was given freedom by the band to come up with parts and be creative, creating new [[bassline]]s on the [[Verse (music)|verses]] of "[[Androgyny (song)|Androgyny]]" and "Nobody Loves You".<ref name="bass">{{cite magazine |url=http://www.geocities.com/boylikearose/articles-bass-mar2002.html |title=Daniel Shulman |magazine=[[Bass Player (magazine)|Bass Player]] |date=March 2002 |access-date=February 3, 2008 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20091025174949/http://www.geocities.com/boylikearose/articles-bass-mar2002.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 25, 2009}}</ref> Shulman revisited "Silence Is Golden", breaking up the [[Swing (jazz performance style)|straight eighths]] of the [[Coda (music)|coda]] to make it more interesting.<ref name="bass"/>

Due to Manson's growing confidence and technical skill, the band decided that her vocals did not require much treatment; "Shirley was singing so much better, and she was coming up with melodies that were longer and had more range to them...there wasn't any point in doing a lot with it. On something like 'Nobody Loves You' she sings really low on the verse, almost at the bottom of her range, and then and the end she's singing three and a half octaves higher, almost in falsetto, as the song turns into a big wall of sound", Vig remarked.<ref name="SOS"/> Manson's original guide vocals were used in the final mixes of several songs; the vocal on "So Like a Rose" was recorded on the first [[take]].<ref name="SOS"/> On some songs, however, Manson's vocal was subject to Pro Tools [[plug-in (computing)|plug-in]]s and post effects. "Til the Day Die" featured a digital "[[Scratching|scratch]]"-effect, created by printing her vocal to [[Digital Audio Tape|DAT]] and using whatever edited passes sounded good. On "Can't Cry These Tears", the four vocal parts were [[Multitrack recording|triple-tracked]] using different mikes, while a [[guitar riff]] was matched to her voice for a section of "Breaking Up the Girl". On "[[Cherry Lips]]", her entire vocal was sped up and heavily EQ'd.<ref name="SOS"/> On slower songs such as "Drive You Home", Garbage were not overly concerned with [[Musical phrasing|phrasing]] and [[pitch (music)|pitch]], giving it "a rawer quality".<ref name="Soundbarrier"/> Manson improved on her guitar skills and played more guitar in the studio and live on stage for the eventual tour.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1123595/garbages-shirley-manson-hints-at-heavier-new-album/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150117085346/http://www.mtv.com/news/1123595/garbages-shirley-manson-hints-at-heavier-new-album/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 17, 2015 |title=Garbage's Shirley Manson Hints At 'Heavier' New Album |website=MTV News |date=August 30, 2000 |access-date=January 15, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nme.com/news/garbage/4328 |title=Manson Wields the Axe on New Garbage Album |work=NME |date=August 31, 2000 |access-date=February 12, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150212142252/http://www.nme.com/news/garbage/4328 |archive-date=February 12, 2015}}</ref>

Garbage finished recording ''Beautiful Garbage'' at the end of April 2001, and spent a month completing the final [[Audio mixing (recorded music)|mix]] (some songs had gone through as many as 40 rough mixes).<ref name="SOS"/> Final EQ, compressing and [[Music sequencer|sequencing]] on the album was handled by [[Scott Hull (mastering engineer)|Scott Hull]] of Classic Sound in New York.<ref name="SOS"/> Despite running a competition on their website to name the album, Manson's own working title, inspired by a lyric in [[Hole (band)|Hole]]'s "[[Celebrity Skin (song)|Celebrity Skin]]", won out.<ref name="cs">{{cite magazine |last=Robinson |first=Peter |author-link=Peter Robinson (journalist) |title=Unforthcoming Attraction |magazine=NME |date=October 6, 2001 |issn=0028-6362}}</ref> Shirley explained: "We took the title from "Celebrity Skin" because when I heard [[Courtney Love|Courtney]] singing "beautiful garbage", it's like a great dichotomy and we nicked it.

Tom Laskin of ''[[Isthmus (newspaper)|Isthmus]]'' wrote that the significant "sonic tweaking and abundant sampling" of ''[[Version 2.0]]'' is discarded as the songs are supported primarily by "bass, drum, and guitar configurations". Observing a musical theme, it is "the band's abandonment of digitally manipulated perfection in favor of rawer guitars and more immediate vocal performances." He added that, overall, the album is "far less commercially accommodating than any of the band's previous work. It embraces no particular sound or style. It comes across with ideas and commentary that challenge rather than coerce, and the playing lacks the burnished, artificial quality that's characteristic of so much youth-oriented music these days."<ref name="Isthmus"/> Peter Robinson of ''[[NME]]'' wrote that the album was a "departure from the sound Garbage had established on their first two records"; It is "marked by expanding on the musical variety, with stronger melodies, more direct lyrics, and sounds that mix rock with [[hip hop music|hip hop]], [[electronica]], [[New wave music|new wave]], and [[girl group]]s."<ref name="cs" /> ''[[Sound on Sound]]'' described the band's approach to recording guitars as "distinctive", observing the "distorted crunches cheek-by-jowl with delicate acoustics and treated sounds which are almost unrecognizable."<ref name="SOS"/> Michael Paoletta of ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' noted that audiences expecting "more of the same [''Version 2.0''] are in for a wonderful surprise." The band eschews "disco-infused electronica foundations for more straight-up rock'n'pop". "Modern tales for modern times, sung by the vocally versatile Manson, make for one of the year's best."<ref name="BillboardReview">{{cite magazine |last=Paoletta |first=Michael |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bhEEAAAAMBAJ&q=beautiful+garbage&pg=PA22 |title=Reviews & Previews: Albums |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |volume=113 |issue=41 |date=October 13, 2001 |page=22 |issn=0006-2510 |access-date=January 27, 2019 |via=Google Books}}</ref> ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' described it as "sharp, seductive music from a band at their peak."<ref name="QUncut">{{cite web |url=http://www.booksamillion.com/p/Beautiful-Garbage/Garbage/X606949311520#music_review |title=Beautiful Garbage by Garbage – Music Reviews |publisher=[[Books-A-Million]] |date=October 2001 |access-date=October 22, 2014}}</ref> ''[[Uncut (magazine)|Uncut]]'' called it "their most accomplished and convincing album yet."<ref name="Uncut"/>

[[AllMusic]]'s [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] commented that Garbage's penchant for absorbing elements from various genres, skillfully crafting them together is more evident in this album, in how they "approximate contemporary R&B with the sultry 'Androgyny', or the Minneapolis new wave bubblegum funk of 'Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!),' or the bluesy [[PJ Harvey]] strut of 'Silence Is Golden.'" This penchant is enhanced by an "unabashedly pop coating, an element that Garbage clearly revel in, as well as should the listener." He described it "every bit as enticingly postmodern as their other albums, and it sounds distinctly Garbage" and although the [[Music genre#Fusion|fusion]] elements are perceptible, "they seem less like magpies, more themselves, which means Beautiful Garbage is a more consistent record."<ref name="AllMusic">{{cite web |last=Erlewine |first=Stephen Thomas |author-link=Stephen Thomas Erlewine |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/beautiful-garbage-mw0000014547 |title=Beautiful Garbage – Garbage |website=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=June 11, 2021}}</ref> [[David Browne (journalist)|David Browne]] of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' observed Manson's continued "aggressive bite" complemented by "throbbing tracks like 'Till the Day I Die' and 'Shut Your Mouth'", as well as exposing "tender aspects" in "heartfelt" and "subdued" songs like 'Cup of Coffee' and 'So Like a Rose'. He noted however that the band's "experiments with sonic expansion yield more mixed results"; "They thaw their sound by adding elements of trip-hop, which works for 'Cup of Coffee' and the first single, 'Androgyny'...But on a record that's more self-consciously varied than 1998's ''[[Version 2.0]]'' other attempts are gimmicky and less successful.
