All those other reviwers aren't lying, Deadwood is simply the best! It's still probably my favorite Garbage recording. Why it wasn't on Version 2.0 AND released as a single simply baffles me.

Afterglow is good too, very dark and mysterious, but can't even match Deadwood's perfection. And, of course, Garbage's I Think I'm Paranoid is present as well, which is probably one of their better-known songs, and is always a treat.

This is one Garbage's best singles, and they continue to include amazing b-sides which are often some of their best material (Trip My Wire, Soldier Through This, etc.)

If you're into Garbage, then with a doubt buy this and prepare yourself for the amazing listening experience which is, of course, is Deadwood.

This is a rockin' c.d. Well worth the price, because Garbage's B-sides are usually better than the recorded material on their full length albums. The two new songs are entitled "Deadwood" and "Afterglow". This disc also includes the single "I think I'm Paraniod" which is one of the better songs from "Version 2.0" All in all I would highly endorse this disc because if you are familar with this band and have seen them in concert, you should know that they DO play their B-sides in concert. It is really cool to know the lyrics to songs that 90% of the people at the concerts don't know even exist. Buy the disc.

The second track on this single, "Deadwood", is a masterpiece pairing of sampled drum loops and Bowie-like acoustic guitars. It's about telling a lover that the "fire" is gone. Shirley Manson refers to the lover as "deadwood", and the chorus goes: "I don't need you anymore; I can't use you anymore." This song is better than any track on Version 2.0 (except for "Wicked Ways"). Why the hell didn't they put this on the album? The third track on this disc is "Afterglow", a bizarre, spooky track complete with an upright bass and a string section. The instrumentation is sparse, adding to the gloom of the song. It's about a stud who fizzles out and becomes a reclusive loser. Not too uplifting, but still a brilliant track. Wrapping it all up, this is a great single, well worth the money. It is impeccably produced, as we've some to expect from the genius of Butch Vig, who I think is the George Martin of the 90's. If you don't have this, get it!

I Think I'm Paranoid Pt. 1 by Garbage was my first import and I am glad I got it! The title track is definitely the best song released from Version 2.0, I can listen to this song all day, and it's been 10 years since the album was released. This import contains two bonus tracks, Deadwood and Afterglow, great songs as well. I highly recommend this faboulous addition. Enjoy!

This single is the one of the best out there! Sure Deadwood is good, but Afterglow could very well be a James Bond Song! It has the strings, the sultry vocals(okay so every song has that) but it is a great track for everyone who liked The World Is Not Enough!

If you haven't already got the "paranoid" single, then go get it! Deadwood is the absolute BEST song I've EVER HEARD in MY LIFE!!! It's got that incredible rythm to make your adrenaline rush... It's a feel good about yourself song. It totally kicks a**... After glow is okay if you like the Garbage songs more on the glooooooooooooooooooomy side.. Personally I think it's ...toooo.............ssssssslowww. Still good though. Regardless, and Nevertheless, Deadwood is WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This CD is great, with two previously unreleased songs ("Deadwood" and "Afterglow"), but the remix of "I Think I'm Paranoid" leaves much to be desired.

I Think I'm Paranoid is one of the most outstanding songs from an album that has only outstanding songs. The guitar is excellent, and the lyrics are definitely up to Garbage's standards.

Garbage has had eight b-sides for the "Version 2.0" promotion so far (You Look So Fine is yet to be cut). 'Deadwood' and 'Afterglow' are still there best so far. 'Deadwood' has that cruel, domineering sound so typical of Shirley. Since the track is over four minutes, one wonders why it couldn't have been on the album. 'Afterglow' could be one of the very best songs that they've ever recorded. It's "sounds" exactly like you just got laid, and you're chilling out now. You can almost smell the rich scent of a home-rolled cigarette burning between your numb fingers. It's a pity that it wasn't released domestically. Maybe they'll release a b-sides EP someday.
