Garbage (20th Anniversary Edition/Remastered)

Garbage is the debut studio album by American rock band Garbage, released on August 15, 1995 by Almo Sounds. It was recorded from April 1994 to May 1995, during which the album was overhauled multiple times. The band aimed "to create something that sounded fresh" by experimenting with different styles and genres, and lead singer and songwriter Shirley Manson wrote about darker themes in her lyrics. The album was promoted with five singles: "Vow", "Only Happy When It Rains", "Queer", "Stupid Girl", and "Milk". All singles entered the UK singles chart—two reaching the top ten—while the first, second and fourth of these entered the US Billboard Hot 100. After the album was completed, Garbage embarked on a year-long tour from November 1995 to December 1996, playing on the European festival circuit and supporting acts like the Smashing Pumpkins. Garbage earned critical acclaim upon release, receiving three Grammy nominations in 1997 and other accolades. The album peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard 200 and number six on the UK Albums Chart, and charted within the top 20. It garnered multi-platinum certifications in several territories.
