Why you should buy this CD and not just the song
Then after the high energy hit "Why Do You Love Me" are 3 B-sides. Sure, it is the comeback song / single of 2005, and it's a great high energy song, but lets look at the whole CD.

First of the B-sides is "Space Can Come Through Anyone. " Its a very rockin' twangy song that sounds like it could have been on Garbage's first album. The vocals have a very hip hop feel compared to any other Garbage song. It blends a lot of genres into one song.

"Nobody Can Win" is a mellow and charming song with a simple lightly strummed guitar. It is a dreamy song that paints a beautiful picture of fairy tails vs the reality of things.

Lastly, "I Just Wanna Have Something To DO" is a cover of the Ramones song, and it has a high energy old school punk feel. After all, it is a Ramones cover. A crazy fun Ramones cover at that! If anything, this is why you should buy this single; this song can easily be on the radio.

Now for the special part, when you pop the CD into your computer, you can see the music video for "Why Do You Love Me. " It's black and white, artistic and shows singer Shirley Manson as a bad girl. She strikes more model poses than Madonna. Eventually the band gets involved for a little sit down session and it doesn't fit the high energy of the song. Then the video goes to color for her "thoughts" portion of the song. At the end she plays a more energetic music performance. The video isn't as good as the song or their other videos.

For all its worth, this is a great single, mostly because "I Just Wanna Have Something to Do!".


"I've held back a wealth of sh#!, I think I'm gonna choke..."
Shirley Manson's vocals and songwriting is top-notch, love that redheaded lass! This import also contains three unreleased songs: A cover The Ramones classic, I Just Wanna Have Something to Do, Nobody Can Win, and Space Can Come Through Anyone. Why Do You Love Me by Garbage is a fun and fearless song from my favorite band of all-time. If you are Garbage nut like me, you must add this EP to your collection!.


Love for the Trash
The first song "Why Do You Love Me" comes from the album "Bleed Like Me" which I could not live without. Well if you're a super Garbage fan of you just enjoy the spunky-er tunes that come from this band, than this is simply a must. The rest of the four song of the single are all non-released. "Space Can Come Through Anyone" is an awesome song, it's just so weird. "Nobody Can Win" is a slower song I think it sounds kind of like "Drive You Home" from "Beautiful Garbage". The last song, "I Just Wanna Have Something To Do" is Garbage's version of The Ramones, I like both versions. Plus the "Why Do You Love Me" vedio is on the single, and awesome! .


Good extra tracks.
'Space Can Come Through Anyone' is average, it doesn't particularly grab me, but it's not terrible. The title song is very good, not perhaps Garbage's best, but probably worth buying if you don't plan on getting the album. 'Nobody Can Win' is probably my favorite track, but it isn't really in keeping with Garbage's normal style, and the acoustic guitar isn't anything to write home about. 'I Just Wannna Have something To Do' is pretty terrible, it drags my rating down at least one star, and is completely faceless and dull. The video feature is interesting, but if, like me, you rip your music it is a bit of an annoyance. .


They're Baaaaaaack
Garbage is one of my favorite bands, so needless to say I was looking forward to the new album. And it was worth the wait. Deffinatly on of their best since version 2. 0. their are hints of some old school garbage in this album. Worth spending the money on in my opinion!.
