Album 2.0 — Garbage

The next time you scroll past an album with a pixelated photo of a trash can, a 28-minute runtime, and a genre classification of "???," don't scroll past.

Garbage’s sophomore effort, Version 2.0 , is a definitive masterpiece of late-'90s alternative rock that successfully bridged the gap between analog grit and the dawning digital age. Released on May 11, 1998, the album avoided the "sophomore slump" by expanding the sonic palette established on their multi-platinum debut, trading raw grunge textures for a meticulously layered, electronic-forward sound.
