Album Description
Available in:
Bleed Like Me is the fourth studio album recorded and produced by alternative rock group Garbage. It was released in April 2005 by Warner Bros. imprint A&E Records internationally and by UMG label Geffen's Almo Sounds imprint, following critical appraisal and positive chart positions for its lead-off single "Why Do You Love Me", which entered the Billboard Hot 100 and debuted in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. Bleed Like Me bowed on the Billboard 200 at a career-high #4, the band's first top ten album ever in the United States. Bleed Like Me had a strong opening week globally, debuting in the top five in many countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and the States.
Following the mixed response to its predecessor, 2001's Beautiful Garbage, passive aggression between band members Duke Erikson, Shirley Manson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, and a general lack of direction for the record, Garbage struggled to create the album and in October 2003 the band quietly split for four months. After sessions with John King in Los Angeles studio and a guest appearance from ex-Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl on "Bad Boyfriend", the band reformed with renewed focus and completed the record by the end of 2004.
Bleed Like Me also includes contributions from drummer Matt Walker (Filter, The Smashing Pumpkins) and bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Ima Robot, Beck, Nine Inch Nails). Also contributing to songs written during sessions for the album but not used were John 5, formerly of Marilyn Manson, and Matt Chamberlain.
User Album Review
What with a glut of rough-shod boingy synth-rock-touting scamps regularly bothering charts and NME covers alike, it's easy to forget how long Garbage have been at this game. And you'd think that after four years away (quite tumultuous ones at that), Shirley and co would have concocted all manner of new sonic frippery. Seems not.
The good news is, if you're already a Garbage fan, there's probably not a lot here to put you off. Songs are split unevenly between nice-side-of-thrashy synth rock and a couple of chilly slowies. Batting first for the former is the Dave Grohl-driven "Bad Boyfriend" which naturally, rattles along in grand fashion. From then on in, there are some great new songs, ("Run Baby Run", "Right Between The Eyes", "Metal Heart") and some that you might think you've heard before (possibly by The Smashing Pumpkins or even The Bravery).
Still, you won't be short of reasons to jump up and down. However, both tone and tune take a darker turn on the title track, as Shirley becomes the scary storyteller from hell. It's effective stuff, and if there had been more songs like this the album would have felt more balanced, rather than leaning overly towards thesynth-rock sound.
There's little to rival the butt-kicking single, "Why Do You Love Me", and although some of this is samey, it's a long way from being rubbish.
