NEWS NEWS NEWSI just found an article on a Mexican news website here where they interviewed Shirley Manson and, at the end of it, she gives a hint of the album as being "very romantic". Thoughts? What do you guys hope for the new album to sound/feel like?

I think Shirley's idea of romantic might be different to most peoples! I hope so anyway, a loved up Garbage album just sounds wrong! I want it to be dark, depressing, about revenge, hate, lust, bitterness and despair.
Can't wait! Truth be told I just want another album so will be happy regardless.

I think romance might be the right way to go actually; Shirley's rarely tackled it in her lyrics head on without it being creepy and/or subversive (like #1 Crush or Milk). The only "love songs" I'd say Garbage has ever made are You Look So Fine (unrequited love), Tell Me Where It Hurts, Big Bright World, The One and maybe Temptation Waits. It's good that as a female artist Shirley doesn't write many lovey-dovey lyrics, but romance can still be interesting. Of course I still want it to sound like Garbage, but it'll be interesting to see what they'll explore with the new album!

I absolutely agree but I guess it comes down to what you perceive as romantic lol! To me it conjures up Westlife songs or something. I would put Cup of coffee, you look so fine, tell me where it hurts etc among my faves but they are so sad, there's a live video of cup of coffee on YouTube where shirley tries hard not to break down, it's heartbreaking.
If it's songs like that she means then bring it on. As a person, Shirley seems far happier and comfortable in herself in recent years and I think that definitely manifested itself in NYKOP having more positive lyrics. I really hope we can leave the whole outcast theme of Beloved freak and NYKOP song behind though as that's a bit sickly for my liking.

But Garbage has always had an outsider theme in it's lyrics: Parade, Right between the Eyes, Begging Bone, Queer, Cherry Lips etc.

Yeah maybe what I said was a bit dumb! I guess I just don't like those 2 songs. Anyway, we have the first date on the tour announced, woop woop - not long to go!

I love the short clip they posted on their website. It will be interesting to listen to the whole album and piece together what she means by romantic. Hopefully it won't be obvious. I like when they use somewhat cryptic lyrics. ps. mc6623, I like your avatar! That's my artwork!

It also has some new material, albeit it's a bit fuzzy.

They're pretty similar in style. I have it as the screensaver on my iPad. And yes about the cryptic lyrics!

I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to create the posters for their US tour that year. I'm so glad you like it.

Part of me feels like I've heard this before, and the other part of me is wondering how the hell I missed this. Thank you for either reminding me of it or introducing me to it!
