Garbage's hard-edged electro-pop distilled rock's brashest ideas and personalities into a smoky, hooky brew. The dark drama draped over “Queer” brings to mind Siouxsie Sioux's gothic splendor, while the clamor on “Push It” echoes Curve's glitches and groans. Shirley Manson's sly attitude seems equally influenced by Cher's larger-than-life divahood, Courtney Love's gritty glam, and Debbie Harry's ever-present cool.
