Absolute Garbage is a collector of Garbage's greatest hits. In addition to a CD, a DVD has also been released, with seventeen video clips. Especially in the second half of the nineties these were often seen on the clip channels on television, but they also broadcast music at the time. Twelve years after the first album (Garbage, 1995), not all the videos are equally interesting, but the group's
… formula still stands. Three somewhat boring American gentlemen in the background and one sexy tough Scottish singer as the front woman, in the person of Shirley Manson. She is the star of Garbage and also of the video clips. The fact that one of the three gentlemen, drummer Butch Vig, is a very influential producer (he produced Nirvana's Nevermind, among others) is nowhere apparent, he remains as 'anonymous' as the other two. After seeing the videos, it appears that Garbage has made a lot of strong singles, and Manson certainly deserves a solo album. (IV)more
