"It's ok to be afraid..."
1 by Garbage was the first single released from beautifulgarbage. Adrogyny Pt. I really like the song, it is different and Shirley's vocals are smooth and intoxicating. The bonus song, Begging Bone is pure fun, should've been included on the LP. The Adrogyny remix is awesome, I cannot get enough of it! I highly recommend this excellent purchase.


not horrible
I didnt think it could be garbage. when i first heard this album i was so confussed. BUt now I love it, I love what they did on the album, it sounds so pop like and wonderful. Androgyny is one of the best songs on the album, its catchy its unique and the video is amazing. This single is worth buying if your a true fan. I'm actaully happy now they did an album I wasnt bleased with to begin with. I hate when bands have the same record over and over with no change, change is good people! .


Decadent, vague, and intriguing
Manson takes a surprising turn, while hitting high notes that were rarely found on Garbage's first two albums. Androgyny, the first single from Garbage's third LP, Beautiful Garbage, finds garbage exploring the diamond-sparkle of 80's pop while retaining their sense of musical adventurousness. The music at first is frighteningly reminiscent of the mundane mainstream, but the genius of Garbage, their masterful production, soon kicks in. The song is full of subtle twists.
Begging Bone, like most Garbage b-sides, is clearly of less quality. Its best attribute is its schizophrenia.
Felix da Housecat delivers again with his electro-dirt rendition of Androgyny, turning shirley into a droning simpletext character and destroying the listener with the weight of his quitar loop.
The single is worth getting for the Felix remix alone, but Garbage's original will attract more attention.


IT'S NOT SO BAD!
I think it's a great song. So many people have been saying bad things about "Androgyny". Sure Garbage has never sounded so "pop" until this album, but that doesn't matter. I really do like the sound of Androgyny even though I don't listen to much pop. The message in the lyrics is really good too. It's like many songs by Garbage; the more you listen to it the more it grows on you. You really should listen for yourself. The song "Begging Bone" is great too. It's one of those many Garbage B-sides that should've been on the album. It sounds more like Garbage than many of the Beautiful Garbage tracks. This one song is reason enough to buy the single.


AwfulGarbage
This is not the Garbage we used to know. Today's recipe: take an easy and predictable tune, plus a glossy video with an androgynous diva who plays on the boy/girl theme (how very original!) and voilà, you have the pseudo-alternative rock band who will appeal to the 11-18 year-olds. . . this is garbage. Sorry, they have lost a fan, at least. Avoid, please.
