Shirley Manson Releases Statement About Special Reissue

Following the announcement, Shirley Manson, Garbage's lead singer, released a statement about the reissue.

"Version 2.0 is, in my opinion, the quintessential Garbage record. We are all very grateful to the millions of people who took it to their hearts at the time it was released and to those who continue to love on it still," said Manson.

Butch Vig Talks 'Version 2.0'

Butch Vig, the co-producer, and drummer of Version 2.0, also talked about the album. Vig said that it became a huge success because it featured the sound of a band growing up and evolving.

"When we started recording, we made a conscious decision to re-invent ourselves, but rather take everything we learned from our debut album and filter it through the new digital technology we were grappling with. Sonically, the album has moments of razor-sharp clarity and soft beauty. Indeed, it's possibly our best album," he said.

Garbage's Other Songs And Albums

The group's other albums are Strange Little Birds, The Absolute Collection, Not Your Kind of People, Absolute Garbage, Special Collection, and Beautiful Garbage.

Some of Garbage's most popular songs include "Cherry Lips," "Push It," "#1 Crush," "The World Is Not Enough," "When I Grow Up," "Queer," "Why Do You Love Me," "Androgyny," "Milk," "Because the Night," "Blood For Poppies," "Run Baby Run," "You Look So Fine," "Sex is Not the Enemy," "The Trick is to Keep Breathing," "Empty," "Girls Talk," "Shut Your Mouth," "Supervixen," "Special," "Tell Me Where It Hurts," "Subhuman," "Temptation Waits," and more.
