"You taught me to hate, you taught me to crawl..." You get the single and one bonus track called 13 x Forever. Special by Garbage is a very "special" import from my favorite band. I just love the unreleased track, great lyrics and incredible dance beat. Shirley and Co. just rock their little hearts out. Gotta get this one! .
Worth it for the B-side
The B-side, "13 x Forever", has turned into one of my favorite Garbage songs - it's an infectious winner that should have been on the album. Garbage fans, "Special #2" cries out for your love! This CD single isn't as good as "Special #1", but it has its place. "Special" is still a great song, and one of VERSION 2. 0's strongest tracks. The only weak spot here is the dull, unnecessary Brothers in Rhythm remix of "Special". Otherwise, "Special #2" is a worthy buy.
13 x Forever!
The CD is excellent. This was the first import that i have ever bought from Garbage, and i was so impressed that i have bought 9 more of them. Sure it only has 3 songs on it, but the song 13xForever makes up for it. This song is my favorite B-side. Shirley's vocals are just amazing, and the lyrics make the song phenominal. I would definately recomend this CD to anyone who is even an avid Garbage listener.
5 stars indeed.
Only is the New Song a True Highlight
With an album version of "Special" (which is a great song, don't get me wrong) and an uninspired remix of "Special", you'll find you'll just tape the second track and never play the single it came on. The song "13 x Forever" is the only reason to get this single.
GARBAGE'S SINGLES AND B-SIDES ARE EXCELLENT!!
1 IMPORT FROM ENGLAND HAS ONE OF VERSION 2. SPECIAL CD SINGLE PT. 0'S GREATEST SONGS SPECIAL WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. IT ALSO INCLUDES A BRAND NEW TRACK CALLED 13 X FOREVER WHICH IS ONE OF THEIR GREATEST B-SIDES, BESIDES DEADWOOD. IT ALSO HAS SPECIAL - BROTHERS IN RYTHM MIX, A GREAT REMIX OF SPECIAL. THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY GARBAGE FAN.
