ertyy Driving lesson has a very good sound too it. This cd is very good. The remixes also are kinda dancey but they aren't the worse B-Side remixes I've ever heard. This cd all in all is good and I suggest that you buy this if u really like garbage.
This is one of my favorite garbage singles
He's right about spending $'s on their singles not for the remixes, but for the b-sides. I don't know why the review below me trashed this cd so much, I really love it. I, myself collect all of garbages singles and I bought this one just to complete my collection. I'm glad I did, because I was so impressed by it. Driving lesson is a cool song that displayes garbage's come theme of dominance and loathe, with shirly singing in her irresistably sexy way. Dog New Tricks (the pal mix) is exceptional, it's much better than the album version, and all of garbages other remixes are mixes of the singles, but on both albums, there's a different version of one of their non-singles, on this one, it's dog new tricks, on version 2. 0 it's medication (acoustic version) which is on one of the special singles. In my opinion, some of garbages best b-sides are dog new tricks (the pal mix) [it's a b-side because it's not a single remix], driving lesson, girl don't come, sleep, deadwood, 13 X Forever, Subhuman, Trip my Wire, Butterfly Collector and #1 Crush. If I were to name the b-sides that actually aren't very good, they would be Tornado, Get Busy with the Fizzy and Soldier Through This. Those ones don't sound or express the usualy brilliant garbage song, but driving lesson and dog new trics (the pal mix) definitely do. They're dark and sound the way garbage first sounded to me when I first got hooked on their music. It's too bad Vow is no longer in print, but the remix (torn apart) isn't very good anyway. A brilliant remix would have to be "I think I'm Crystalized" Massive Attack's version of "milk" or "special (rickedy raw's version)".
B-Side's Trash by GARBAGE standards
On that count, most any GARBAGE Maxi-CD is worth buying; but HOOOO boy is this one a waste. With a few notable exceptions, you generally do NOT spend 10-plus dollars on a GARBAGE CD single for the remixes, but rather the unreleased B-sides. "Driving Lesson" is hands down their worst one ever. Shirley just whispers and sneers, and Mr. Vig and company seem like they just punched up a canned drumbeat and left the room. I cannot ill-advise any Amazon shopper enough. . . This CD bites.
