5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best single thus far from Beautifulgarbage., October 2, 2002

By

This review is from: Breaking Up the Girl 3 (Audio CD)

Breaking Up the Girl is one of the best songs on Beautifulgarbage, so it's only natural that it be released as a single. Breaking Up the Girl was released as a 3 single CD set, and while all of them are exceptional, this 3rd edition is probably the best of the bunch and most definitely the most original.

The acoustic version of Breaking Up the Girl is amazing. It's just as good as the original, and maybe even a little better. It's more sparse than it's original, but the acoustic guitars give the song a little more flavor. And while it sounds as if Shirley's vocals were taken directly from track off the album, it still sounds great.

"Confidence" is what Garbage's fans call an "expiremental track." Yes, this song is different from what Garbage has done before, but it's strangeness makes it all the more enjoyable. Shirley whispers lyrics over a lush, techo-laden soundscape chocked full of drums and guitar. Yes, it's strange, but it's also very good.

Cherry Lips (DJEJ's Go-Go Jam) is up next. This remix is just plain fun. I was dissapointed with the earlier remixes of Cherry Lips, they all seemed slow and I wanted to see a upbeat mix to match the lyrcis. Well, needless to say, this one delivers. It's dancey and one of my favorite remixes of any Garbage song.

If you're a hardcore Garbage fan, this single was made with you in mind. I would reccomend this single to any Garbage fan interested in collecting b-sides/remixes, but if you're new to Garbage I would reccomend buying another single, as this one contains songs only a true Garbage fan could enjoy.

This single is very diverse and Unique, even though there are only 3 songs, it's one of the best Garbage singles so far.

BREAKING UP THE GIRL(Acoustic):A great track, and even better as an acoustic song
CONFIDENCE:An excelent track, the guitar in this one is amazing!!
CHERRY LIPS(REMIX):One of the best remixes I've heard in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The world is full of girls like you...", April 5, 2008

Breaking Up the Girl Pt. 3 by Garbage contains the title track, acoustic version of Breaking Up the Girl and one bonus track, Confidence. The bonus track is short but very cool. Shirley's vocals are soft put she gets her point across. I love Garbage, talented band from day one.
