Garbage - Not Your Kind of People

Review by Sean Thomas

They're still as confused as ever.»

Buy now from:

deluxe version with four extra tracks. a letter from shirley manson... okay so please let's not retread the history that precedes this record. it's all on the internet for anyone to have at it. if you have any interest at all ....you can google anything you need to know about us in five minutes flat. suffice to say we have been gone for 7 years. we now are experiencing what is commonly known as the 7 year itch except instead of wanting to leave each other, we want to return to one another. we have made, arguably, the best record of our career and for those who have a further curiosity let me say this: we quit in the middle of our last tour and went home because we were sick and tired of our record company wanting us to make money whatever the cost to our morals or our bodies. we quit and went home because we couldn't stand another backstage hang with anyone from the aforementioned record company. they quite literally were making us sick. we quit and went home and built ourselves a life outside of garbage and outside of music and outside of the rest of the world. then we got bored of doing that and pretty much began to obsess about making music again. we got together about a year ago now in a small studio in atwater village, los angeles. there we recorded all of the songs on this new record we are calling 'not your kind of people'. we wrote. recorded and mixed it ourselves, old school style.
