Version 2.0 (Remastered + Extra CD) (1998)

" ‘We love you Shirley!” This excitable shout from the stalls is a reminder that, for a quarter of Garbage at least, the opening night of their 20 Years Paranoid tour – marking the two-decade anniversary of their second album, Version 2.0 – is a home-town gig. If Garbage’s 1995 debut album was the sound of Manson adapting to her new collaborators – injecting soul and wicked wit into Garbage’s sepulchral techno-rock – Version 2.0 was where the band found their cyberpunk groove. The album’s striking orange gridded cover was inspired by one of Manson’s outfits. (the guardian.com)
