This CD Kicks Ass.......2005-10-25

You will appreciate this CD especially if you are a fan of Garbage, but it is even cool if you aren't. The first time I listened to it (and it starts out with "Only Happy When It Rains," which adds to the ass-kickery), I couldn't stop smiling because it was so damn cool. The wall-of-sound style Garbage is famous for doesn't lose anything in the translation to a string quartet. These musicians did an excellent job and it is obvious that they put a lot of work into this. Almost none of the intricate details in the original songs are lost as performed by this quartet. I'd say it's just about perfect. This CD kicks ass. I recommend it for all Garbage fans.

Not supposed to be BIG SOUNDING... it's a quartet..........2004-08-13

A reviewer wrote; "it didn't have the big sound that Garbage's songs have" and "I was expecting the compositions to be made bigger". He later went on and called it a classical album ... It isn't symphony ... it isn't supposed to sound like a symphony. It supposed to sound like a quartet. It is HUGE for a quartet. I felt like this CD totally captured the essence of Garbage's songs and Shirley's vocal characteristics and it is very big sounding for a quartet.

If your expectation goes beyond what the title of this CD is: "The STRING QUARTET Tribute To Garbage", then maybe you'll be dissapointed. But if you know what a string quartet is supposed to sound like and you like Garbage, then this CD is a masterpiece that you will enjoy listening to over & over again!!!

A star for the subject and a star for the concept..........2004-07-03

Everything else fell flat. This classical album didn't have the guts that is for sure. Also it didn't have the big sound that Garbage's songs have. I knew it wouldn't be able to summon up the vibe of the band or the truly great and difficult to describe feel of Shirley Manson's voice which instruments are unlikely to get close to. However I was expecting the compositions to be made bigger and more at the forefront. Didn't happen. The subject and idea are admirable enough but it just didn't work. Didn't really do justice to the material. Overall just a shadow of the the actual songs. Unlike alot of classical takes on various different styles of rock songs, the sound is less and the composition is underdone. This could have gone bad in alot of ways I'm just alittle surprised at the way it actually did go bad. I just didn't care for it. Like another reviewer said, there was an unimaginative tone to it. Even if they had tried to say do all the notes just the way the songs were only all instrumental and on all classically identified instruments it would have been unimaginative but still probably good. They didn't even do that. They lessened the feeling of it.

Very Beautiful.......2004-03-02

I thought the tributes were very nice, very elagent, and very unique. The violinist did such a great job on songs like "Stupid Girl" and "Breaking Up The Girl", that it made you reminice of the old, meek, and dark days of Garbage, and transform them into a beautiful masterpiece. Each song gives the listener the nostolgia of each song, with each string plucked, the listener can quickly identify the song. Definetly worth the buy, and a good CD for the collection.

Steven D. Moore Is Drunk...........2003-04-10

....And doesn't know anything about Garbage! I bought this CD and I love it! I'm a Garbage fan and have every single one of their records and this one is one of my favorites! If you are anything like me and you love Garbage, then you will love this CD and it is definately worth the money. It is exactly like their songs but played by violins and cellos. It's really beautiful and gives you a new perspective on their songs. Steven D. Moore should have listened to at least one Garbage song before he wrote his stupid review about this CD.

Good but u have to hear Subhuman!!!.......2002-01-03

Most of the Garbage B-sides and remixes are just average, so i recommend u buying the albums which are way more polished. but, if i recommend getting any of the b side singles, get the subhuman release or download it, anything!!! ...i don't know where u would find it now days.

as good as it gets.......2000-08-13

This is a great single! It has two b-sides that are awesome, Can't Seem To Make You Mine is a cover song by a 60's band, The Seeds. Shirley's voice is quite distorted, but that only makes is better! Tornado is another b-side on it. It's a funky, 80's-ish, swirly, jiggin, funny song. It has a friend of theirs screaming "c'mon, Shirl"! Hardly any lyrics on it, just like Alien Sex Fiend, Shirley only repeats one line. The Rickidy Raw R&B Mix of Special is beautiful! At first I thought it was better than the original, but it can't really come up to that.. But it's one of the best remixes I've ever heard of a song. The Trick Is To Keep Breathing is a wonderful song! The title was inspired by a book(by Janice Galloway), and the song was inspired by a friend of Shirley's. This CD is deffinately worth the money!

Hold your breath.......2000-05-01

This was somewhat of a dissapointing Garbage release. As a collector,this CD offers nothing new. The UK release of "When I Grow Up" parts 1 & 2 (Mush43CDS & Mush43CDSX) already have the previously unreleased "Can't Seem To Make You Mine" & "Tornado". The UK CD's also include "When I Grow Up - Danny Teneglia's Club Mix" which is quite good and NOT found on this CD. Of course you would have to buy 2 CD's compared to just one to get the extra track but Garbage is a great band and worth it. This CD would have been better had they of put a remix of the title track on it. It is unlikely that they will release a UK version of this like they did with every other single on Version 2.0.

Good To Drive To...........1999-05-18

I must be honest when I say I bought this on a whim, having been disappointed with Version 2.0 when compared to it's predecessor. However, I was pleasantly suprised. (And yes, this is a good CD to drive to. Just be careful when listening to "Tornado". It seems to inspire speed.) "Can't Seem To Make You Mine" has some excellent effects, especially Shirley's voice distortion. "Tornado" also capitalizes on the bands ability to go comepletely electronic, and remain real. Finally, the remix of "Special" is what really makes this single worth picking up. I dare say it far out does the original. Excellent job.

Awesome and True Single!!!!!.......1999-05-02

This is one of the most honest songs I've heard in a while. "The Trick is to Keep Breathing" has such an awesome and ethereal feel and sound to it. All of Garbage's songs are honest and true-to-life, but this one has some unknown spectacular thing going on. I would recommend buying this single to anyone!!!!

Trick Is To Keep Breathing-Garbage.......2002-01-20

Another moody, but powerful ballad from Shirley and the boys; Trick is one of Version 2.0's "Milk"-like tracks, plus a little chocolate.

There are better imports then this.......2000-12-22

Since this is Garbage, I cannot hate it, but, I don't love it. Lemme tell you what's included here: The Trick is To Keep Breathing (normal song), Can't Seem to Make You Mine (new song), Tornado (recorded on their tour bus), Special (remix). It's not bad really. I understand Garbage was just having fun and were probably bored out of their minds when they recorded the bazerk "Tornado", but, judging it as the lame song it is, it's pretty icky. It's mildly catchy and fun, but it's icky. "Can't Seem To Make You Mine" is very Rocky Horror sounding. I don't know, that's just what it reminds me of. It's pretty good. The remix of "Special" is peaceful, but, boring. Overall, this is an import to skip since you can get CSTMYM on other imports.

Good for collectors.......2000-06-21

This single contains two new songs and a special re-mix (Rickidy Raw Mix). The songs are : Tornado, Can't seem to make you mine.But these two songs are already included in the Single "When I Grow Up" part 1. For this reason, only I recommend this C.D. to true fans or collectors.
