Customer Reviews Shirley Manson kix Shirley Manson has said it is a reflection of how she thinks and speaks in real life. Here is a simple but fantastic song that is a lyrically blunt statement about the ridiculous drama in so many people's lives, and how one can get caught up in trying to live up to these supposed standards of society. Though there seems to be a hint of reverb in both of the live tracks, they are the main reason to own this single. Only Happy When It Rains is such a great song and it rocks even more live. . . . On a side note, Shirley sang "Shut Your Mouth" much differently on the Garbage/No Doubt fall tour of 2002. Take advantage of any chance you get to hear it. Still Making Garbage Smell (And Sound) Sweet Even now, in 2003, Shirley and the Boys are still at it, rocking crowds the world over and doing it with no apologies, and this single proves it. Since 1995, Garbage has supercharged the pop market, bringing us album after album of infectious hooks, melodies, and beats. Shut Your Mouth is a great song, both in sound and in spirit. Ever had that under pressure, get-off-my-back feeling? This song is for you. Also featured on this single is Happiness Pt. 2, a tune that, while embracing a slightly different style, sounds like the kind of composition we expect from Garbage. After this, there's a live version of Only Happy When It Rains, a classic, and Wild Horses, a Rolling Stones cover. Fan or not, I recommend this CD for your collection. Seeking perfection? Look no further. Rock fans will love it, even if they haven't heard Garbage before (where have you been?), as will old school fans. Shut Your Mouth is one of the best songs from THE best band in the world. Happiness Pt. 2 is a weird and wonderful ride through electronic soundscape with a certain perverse undertone remaining throughout. Definitely an expermental track, and if you liked Confidence, you will like this. Wild Horses live is a great cover of the Rolling Stones classic. And, to top it all of is a sublime live version of the Garbage mega hit "Only Happy When It Rains". I recommend that you buy this, along with the UK versions of the single, which include the new bsides, Sex Never Goes Out Of Fashion, I'm Really Into Techno, and April the 10th. And if you don't own the album beautifulgarbage(which contains Shut Your Mouth) by now, for God's sake, do yourself a favor and buy it. It's amazing. .
