| | Perhaps sensing the shift in tastes, the band has markedly scaled back the electronic elements, enlisting studio drummer Matt Walker and Foo Fighter Dave Grohl to play live on various tracks, and pushing the synthesizers and loops into the background on most songs. | | | Although this probably won't fool people into thinking they're garage rockers, it does serve to highlight the fact that, even largely stripped of the rocktronica sound that was groundbreaking on their 1995 debut, Garbage's songwriting is top-notch. |
