Probably the best single thus far from Beautifulgarbage........2002-10-03

Breaking Up the Girl is one of the best songs on Beautifulgarbage, so it's only natural that it be released as a single. Breaking Up the Girl was released as a 3 single CD set, and while all of them are exceptional, this 3rd edition is probably the best of the bunch and most definitely the most original.

The acoustic version of Breaking Up the Girl is amazing. It's just as good as the original, and maybe even a little better. It's more sparse than it's original, but the acoustic guitars give the song a little more flavor. And while it sounds as if Shirley's vocals were taken directly from track off the album, it still sounds great.

"Confidence" is what Garbage's fans call an "expiremental track." Yes, this song is different from what Garbage has done before, but it's strangeness makes it all the more enjoyable. Shirley whispers lyrics over a lush, techo-laden soundscape chocked full of drums and guitar. Yes, it's strange, but it's also very good.

Cherry Lips (DJEJ's Go-Go Jam) is up next. This remix is just plain fun. I was dissapointed with the earlier remixes of Cherry Lips, they all seemed slow and I wanted to see a upbeat mix to match the lyrcis. Well, needless to say, this one delivers. It's dancey and one of my favorite remixes of any Garbage song.

If you're a hardcore Garbage fan, this single was made with you in mind. I would reccomend this single to any Garbage fan interested in collecting b-sides/remixes, but if you're new to Garbage I would reccomend buying another single, as this one contains songs only a true Garbage fan could enjoy.

Very Original.......2002-04-24

Customer Reviews:

FUNKY BREAKS AND ICY CHILLOUT..........2005-02-09

TIMO MAAS TURNS IN A NICE FUNKY BREAKS WORKOUT HERE...NICE FOR EARLY SETS OR WARMUP MATERIAL...A PLUS IS THE "HAPPINESS PT.2" B-SIDE...VERY COLD AND ARCTIC FEELING...GREAT FOR CHILLED SETS IN CAFES OR ON THE BALEARIC ISLES...

A good Garbage single, but the track listing is wrong.......2003-05-24

Breaking Up The Girl prt.2 is a good single. The b-side Happinesss prt.2 is experimental-sounding, but I like it. The remix is good too. The track listing listed is for this same single prt.1 for the Austrailian release. Be cautious if you want it.

Good but misleading.........2002-07-04

It's good CD but the track listing here is misleading. It only has "Breaking Up The Girl", "Happiness", and "Breaking Up The Girl (Timo Maas Remix)". No video. I was a bit dissapointed, but loved it all the same..

Garbage.......2002-05-24

This cd Breaking Up The Girl is pretty good. It had the original Breaking Up The Girl Track which is really good if you like rock-pop. The second song is Happiness is okay, the begging is really weird she repeats Dosen't know me daddy a few times and there is this keyboard sounding music in the back. Through the entire song She just says Happiness is this a test do you think i'm blessed etc. you can get the lyrics from a garbage page. The song is not bad but it's not the kind of "Garbage" music I like. The last song on this album is Breaking Up The Girl REMIX which personally I HATE!!! Why do people have to make the song sound so dumb. I can not stand techno. But IF you like techno you would probably like it...

Great song, weak CD single.......2003-08-01

"Breaking Up The Girl" is one of the few BEAUTIFULGARBAGE tracks that I don't skip past. It's a great number that should have been released as the album's first single, in my opinion. But I would save your hard-earned cash for the full album instead of "Breaking Up The Girl 1". "Candy Says" is one of Garbage's weakest B-sides, and carries an unhealthy "So Like A Rose" vibe (a song from BEAUTIFULGARBAGE which, while blah, is still better than "Candy Says"). And the techno remix of "Breaking Up The Girl" is a 10-minute snoozer. This single's saving grace is the "Breaking Up The Girl" video, rendered in high video and sound quality. If you're a hardcore fan, pick "Breaking Up The Girl 1" up....but otherwise, steer clear.

Another great single from Garbage.......2003-05-24

Breaking Up The Girl prt.1 is a very good single. It contains the cover song "Candy Says" and a very good remix. The video is good too, but I don't understand what it has to do with the song.
All and all, I recomend it for any Garbage fan

BUTG.......2002-05-25

Breaking up the girl is Garbage's 3rd single from their album Beautifulgarbage. The song is really great but the only thing you get with this cd isn't that song. There's lots of more in this single. Garbage's wonderful cover of Velvet Underground's Candy Says is also in this cd.Shirley's voice is very peaceful and touching in this song. And there's even more! The video of Breaking up the girl is also in it and the quality is perfect. If you want I can count you millions of more reasons to buy this cd!But the most important reason is Garbage is one of the best bands (the best one for me:)in the music right now and everything they've done proved this to all the fans and non-fans around the world. So buy this cd, I guarantee you, you won't be disappointed.

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!!!
