Power rockers GARBAGE unleashed their seventh
LP titled NO GODS NO MASTERS. Order info: here.
In a press statement, the band said: “This is our seventh record,
the significant numerology of which affected the DNA of its content:
the seven virtues, the seven sorrows, and the seven deadly sins. It was
our way of trying to make sense of how fucking nuts the world is and
the astounding chaos we find ourselves in. It’s the record we felt that
we had to make at this time.”
NME says: “On the alt-rock veterans’ seventh album, Shirley Manson and
co. layer sounds of the past with a futuristic sheen to reveal today’s horrors…
nearly 30 years into their career, these veterans have pulled off a record that’s
seductive in its sound and resonant in its message, as well as proving a triumph
in showcasing not only the lineage that led to Garbage but also their mastery
of alt-tinged dark-pop that led us the likes of Chvrches and Lana Del Rey.”
Score: 4/5.
Turn Up The Volume: 26 years after making walloping waves with their rad
self-titled debut album Garbage still rock, still knock, still shock with towering
tunes and NME’s Godlike Genius Shirley Manson still writing lyrics with a sharp pen
drenched in vitriol. Her fervent fight against all kinds of human injustice will never
ever stop. She never ever will be a not caring, settled rock star. Check these lines
of lead-single ‘The Men Who Rule The World’ and you’ll get the fuck you picture…
The men who rule the world
Have made a fucking mess
The history of power
The worship of success
The king is in the counting house
He’s chairman of the board
The women who crowd the courtrooms
All accused of being whores
Money, money, money
